Thirsty Temptations

Chapter 18- Karma

Trevor had an evil look on his face, refusing to let her go. "Trevor, you're holding me way too tight; I can't breathe." she cried out, trying to break free.

He leaned forward, and stared her in the eyes "You know who you are, don't you?"

"Let me go Trevor, this is not the time, or the place... if you let me go, we'll go somewhere to talk."

"Phoebe... does that name ring a bell?" he asked with an evil grin, and began caressing the side of her face "She begged for mercy, her life, and your life." he chuckled "The thing is... she killed my family, and deserved everything that she had coming to her. Especially when she went and had you hidden."

The anger within her started to grow, and was holding everything back not to attack him right in front of everyone. She wrestled to break free, and stopped when he started laughing. "You look just like her, especially right now... she was given a choice, a second chance to be free if she revealed your location, she refused to disclose anything. I still remember the look on her face when they wrapped that noose around her, hung her, and how she fought to stay alive, the kicking, the screaming-" He was cut off from speaking when he her hand broke free, and slapped him hard across the face.

He let her go, and smiled as he held the side of his face. She pointed her finger at him and snarled "Karma's a bitch... remember that... besides, it wasn't her that killed your family."

He laughed, firmly grabbed her hand and leaned forward "That's what you think darling." he says, pushing her back "If you want your life spared right now, I suggest you go tell that vampire boyfriend of yours, to leave. I'll even walk over there with you."

She pulled out of his grip and looked at Alyssa, she was watching the two of them argue and looked at Trevor "I have a better idea, once we're finished here, we can go back to my place and talk, just us." She walked away, headed to her table and finished her drink. She stared at Trevor and remembered seeing a karma spell in the book, and began speaking: You will now see the cruelty and the pain that you have caused me once again. I will now be turning the tables and I will bring light to your actions. I will be free when the light fades, and when the dusk comes through. The pain you have caused will come back to haunt you. I call for this spell called karma to happen tonight, because now I will stand and fight.

She sat back and waited to see what would happen, being this was her first time putting a hex on someone, she hoped it will work, and hope she said it right. Alyssa walked over to the table, sat down and stared at her. "So, what now?"

"We're going to my house to talk." she winked.

Trevor and Alex walked over to the table, sat down, and waved the waitress over. After ordering drinks, Trevor couldn't keep his eyes off Layla. He couldn't help but wonder what she had up her sleeve, and knew he needed to be careful. Layla turned and looked at Alaric with a smile, she discreetly gave him a thumbs up, letting him know that he would be following her home.

Layla looked at Alyssa and gave her a nudge "I asked if Trevor would like to come over, would you like to come over as well?"

"I thought we were going to talk privately." Trevor retorted.

"We can still talk privately, I was thinking afterward we could play some drinking or card games, just like old times."

"Whatever..."

"Come on, let's go!" Layla finished her drink, grabbed Alyssa's hand and pulled her with as she left the bar. Alaric and Adrian stood up, followed the girls out, then turned themselves into crows after seeing Trevor and Alex walk out of the bar, wanting to listen in on their conversation.
