Bewitch Me [Book 1 & 2, The Witch's Fate]

Chapter Twenty Two - Witch what?

{A/N: 😗 Minuet in Anime form, feel free to imagine him however you want!}

Isabelle's POV

Is it me or that, he looks...a bit... uncomfortable?

When looking closer, shadows flickered around the edge of his face making his face now look strangely hollow.

There's something he's not saying.....

"You might not be able to see her all the time, but you can hear and feel her". He continued.

"Huh?".

His head shifted slightly from the fireplace and his gaze was now fully on me. His facial features were almost related to that of a feminine, but were only more attractive and handsome still.

The crackling fire blotted his irises with amber and crimson, as bright and warm as that of fire beetles, but maybe it was all part of my wild imagination or hallucination once again?

I mean...

He had emerald eyes and not... crimson obviously.

"Even if Alexis can't be with you...". He whispered. "I will...".

Huh?!

Double huh?!

"Say what?". I blinked.

"She didn't tell you, did she?". He rolled his eyes, with a disappointed frown.

"Uhh...I guess so?". I said unsure of what he was getting at.

"I owe her a life debt". He bluntly said.

"But what have that got to do with me?! No offense though". I cut in, raising my hand in the air.

"No need to be rude, it's not like I want this either..! I made a vow to her to protect you with my nine lives as long as you want".

Protect me?

From what..?

"Hold up...protect me from what exactly?! It's not like there are more monsters, that want to kill me, right?".

A grin creeped up from behind the boy's sleeve, like a crescent moon slicing through a fog. "You're quite the smart one, aren't you?".

"In that case, you should be the one figuring that out yourself. Why do you think such a powerful sorceress spent her entire life hidden in the form of an ordinary being?".

That's a...that's a lie...grandma might have powers!

But she's human!

"Uhh...maybe because she spends her lifetime at home and hates mingling with others for some other reasons, except for family meetings?".

"I mean...each time mum and dad requests for a family trip or something, she turns us down immediately. She preferred having little tea parties and chitchats at home than having a crazy adventure".
