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

Chapter Thirty Two - It's never too late

Minuet!

I gasped as Minuet let out a little hiss of pain from the retracting spikes that sank into his flesh.

I bit my lips to stop myself from crying as his paws opened gently before his whole body went limb and fell to the ground with a thud.

A scraping sharp sound was heard from the shackles and they retracted back into Xander's outstretched hands.

No don't look, don't-

A scream escaped my lips when I saw something red dripping non-stop from the small fur ball. There was no doubt that this red thing was blood.

"You monster! What did you do to him!".

I flinched as Xander gave him more sweet calm smiles, normally those smiles would make me swoon all over him- but now, I'm literally disgusted by that. The hatred I've for him now is greater than all the feelings I've been having for him, if there's anyone left that is.

"Knees on the floor". Xander ordered. "Or I get the others".

Anger and rage were burning through my body, but what could I do other than obey him? He's the one that outsmarted me this time.

Falling with a dull thud, I squatted- not kneel before him, with my face lowered and my gaze fixed at the ground.

"Squat sweetheart". He whispered and circled around me again, with his arms behind his back. "Not kneel".

I gritted through my teeth some curses before placing my kneels on the bare cold ground. I suddenly remembered when Minuet mentioned something about submitting and subjecting to some people- Hell no, I can't do that!

"Good girl". He cooed.

I maybe powerful and cruel outside of me, but one thing for sure was that I'm a big pile of softie within me.

Tears trailed down my chin and splashed on the ground with ease. I couldn't take the humiliation that a witch so powerful like me was so powerless, that she couldn't even stand up for her familiar. Is this some kind of curse or blessing?

"Don't cry now Blair...I won't kill you, not yet". He whispered behind my ears, caressing my tear stained face, and tilting it upwards to look him into his eyes with his wet smeared fingers.

Wet with Minuet's blood, that is...

"Because even the most heartless creature has a way of taking good care of his things".

My other powerful senses immediately sensed the shackles behind his back which was now retracting into a kind of leash.

He's going to put it on me!?

I wanted to put him in place, but he ended up doing that to me now. From the range between us, I could feel the inside of me...my powers, being drained, and my head started to get all dizzy. Trying to fight off the strange black hole did nothing but slowly paralyze me more.

"Don't fight it sweetheart, your neck's gonna have a pretty necklace".

Time was running out for me and Minuet, Xander had already started trailing his fingers down to my neckline and shoulders once more. I tried to wriggle out of his filthy hands, but my powers were no longer strong enough to push me away.

I may not know how to end you with my magic, Xander...but I can for sure do this!

"Go to hell, maniac!". I yelled before kicking him where every guy has his weakness, his groin.
