Family Drama

[A\N: I think I was on crack when I wrote this? Ddjebhfendb it's so bad I-]

Derek put his hands on his head as he looked at Cordelia with worry taking over his face, this was really not good. His girlfriend knew there was something going on, and thanks to the books she figured it out. "Wait...can you explain it to me again?" Derek asked for the second time making Cordelia groan and she put the paper she ripped from the book on the kitchen counter.

"That spell she did that night brought the tiniest bit of memories but it wasn't for that, she thought it was but she was wrong. It bonded her and Jerome together, thankful it wasn't carried out all the way." She spoke quietly occasionally glancing behind her to see if anyone was nearby. "Think about it, Jerome told her to torture the man, she does. Jerome wants her to kill Markus, she does it."

His head tilted at an angle. "He tells her to do anything and she'll do it?" Cordelia gave a nod "But the spell wasn't fully carried out...thankfully." She said with a sigh looking up to thank the heavens. "Her feelings are real, because even before this she would tell me that she had this feeling that she couldn't really shake although she didn't want to admit it I knew, but now it's heightened, like in full max."

"What happens if the spell isn't fully carried out?" He asked leaning against the kitchen counter. "Well it's a bit confusing. She will only do as he says if some parts of her think it's okay to do it...like if the other half of her thinks it's okay."

Still Derek looked confused, Cordelia clapped her hands together and smile "Okay I'll give you an example. Jerome tells Josette to kill Myrtle....one half wants to, but the other not really. So she automatically does what he says in that situation." With a hand on his chin he gave a slow nod wanting her to go on. "But if Jerome tells her to kill you she's not gonna listen to him, because no part of her would want to do that. Understand now?"

"If the spell would've fully carried out she would do whatever he would want with no questions asked, and we would be fucked." Cordelia nodded in agreement, all this time she thought Jerome had done something to her but it was Josette all along.

"And you think she did this on purpose?" Derek asked crossing his arms "That doesn't sound like her." The man shook his head "She wouldn't do it on purpose." His girlfriend rolled "No, of course not. She was desperate and wanted to get her memories back."

The room was silent, occasionally hearing Jerome and Josette laughing as they stayed in the living room with Rosalie. "Does she know?" Derek asked, the witch tilted her head in confusion. "...does she know she's bonded to him?" It wasn't anyone's fault but she was still very upset with Jerome, of course he had no idea but the stunt he pulled last night pressuring her to kill that man made her stomach turn.

"No...she has no clue..." Cordelia said with sadness. "We need to tell her brothers...then we have to tell Jo." She said with a nod. Dereks head quickly snapped looking at his girlfriend "what? We don't have to tell them..." Glaring at him she spoke "I'm not gonna let her be a mindless puppet to that municipality asshole."
