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

Chapter Twenty Nine - What's your name?

Despite our little arguments and disagreements, Minuet did help me out with my magical makeover - with some glamour spells and potions. It wasn't easy trying to be who I wasn't especially as it was a guy that was freaking changing me. He wasn't patient with me at all! It was at times like this I wished he was a dog - or at least a cute mascot like Acorn from the Overworld.

On the other hand, Minuet magically transformed into Xander to help me boost my confidence and practise in talking properly to him. And I thought he could shift into only animals, he keeps bringing on the surprise.

He was surprisingly there for me too when I nervously waited for Xander after school, but not in his human version that is. The black cat was perched on the edge of my shoulders, with it's tail dangling behind and paws digging into my skin.

"Oh no! His limo came earlier than expected!". I panicked with some self consciousness as the limo swerved into the compound. "Go hide, Minuet!".

The black cat just rolled it's eyes at my overreaction. We were already hidden by some trees surrounding the compound so there was no point in scurrying away.

Right.

I already thought about both of us wearing some cloaks that'd blend us in, but Minuet had turned it down with a sharp glare. I watched as he already fled into the deep woods until I could see were his emerald eyes.

Did he have to go that far!

I gulped as Xander's limousine parked outside the school's gate as usual. I was confident, but not until I stole a glance at his butler, I felt intimidated at once.

She's drop dead gorgeous.

She looked like she was in her nineteens--- or maybe even twenties. Who knows? And wow, she's just...wow in her physique and in her facial looks. What was fascinating was her eye color - she had the rare color, amber. What made her even more sexy was the structure of her pointed nose, soft plumpy lips and purple long hair. Unlike my real hair, hers was completely purple, compared to mine. Her eyes had that twinkle of confidence and attraction. The way she held her composure was another thing- God, I'm straight.

The look in her eyes were strict and cold - and it looked like she would break all my bones if I tried anything funny around Xander even.

Hold your nerves, Isabelle...she's just a butler, someone who acts like a bodyguard for him, and not against you...

But with the beauty and intimidation swimming all around her, I already hated the way I looked but my determination to fall in love with Xander won't let me give up easily.

I must carry on.

When the rays of the sunlight flashed in my direction, I knew that it was time.

I took a deep breath and let the bottle of emotions flow in and out immediately within me. All it takes for the spell to overtake me completely was trust and belief in myself. When I held the emotions in me - like a bottle I exhaled deeply to release the mixed feelings out of me. Earth. Air. Fire. Sea. Let the Goddess' beauty shine through me. I chanted the words at the back of my head while raising the purple amulet against the orangish rays of the sun. A black beam of light shot out from the sky and engulfed me completely, twirling me in the air to dance to it's tunes. I didn't even know that was going on because I had my eyes closed the whole time. When I felt nothing but cold air kissing my skin, I knew something had happened.

My body felt different.

I reached out for my face and slowly touched it to confirm my suspicions. I gasped when it was true.
