Chapter Eighteen

                     Chapter Eighteen 

A lovely September morning in the Scottish woods, Esmeralda was waiting for Fred who promised to introduce her to Brat. It was already 11 o’clock; they should have appeared an hour ago.

 “They are not coming!”-Viktor said suddenly appearing out of nowhere. 

“What makes you say that Viktor?”-Esmeralda asked.

“Simple, Brat is under a spell and Fred doesn’t like to be manipulated.”-Viktor answered grinning. 

“Viktor, here you are, I was looking for you. You just spook around and don’t tell me.”-Tess appeared.

“Hey, Tess sorry left you alone but you know I have issues with Esmeralda.”-Viktor apologized.

“Oh please leave with her Viktor, you have haunted me enough.”-Esmeralda stated.

“Esmeralda, I don’t like you waiting here for nothing.”-Viktor said somewhat pissed.

“Your ghost senses should be better. They are almost here.”-Esmeralda stated.

“Darling she is right, I saw them walking towards here.”-Tess stated. Viktor sighed and both ghosts disappeared. Brat and Fred saw Esmeralda. “Hi Esmeralda, sorry we are a bit late, traffic got in the way”-Fred said. 

“You must be Esmeralda.”-Brat said.

“Yes, I’m Esmeralda, nice meeting you Brat.”-Esmeralda said offering to shake hands with him.

“I know you are here to kill Mimi, so you started by eliminating her mother.”-Brat said really upset trying not to catch her eye. 

“I was not responsible for the death of the witch; there is another of my kind around, maybe he has brought more. All I know is that it is of no good.”-Esmeralda said with almost having tears in her eyes. 

“Then what brings you here?”-Brat asked disgusted.

“I understand your sorrow. Viktor has sent me here to end this sorrow and Mimi’s plans. Did you know that she has killed Viktor? I loved him just how you loved Cora, it’s a pity you have no memories of that but I will try my best to help you.”-Esmeralda said with a consoling smile and Brat in that instance took a careful look at her, he has never seen anything so beautiful. Her long black hair was amazing and sparkling in the sunlight, her violet eyes were full of emotions and were shinning like diamonds; her light white skin harmonized all. She was just amazing, the poor human could not take his eyes of her, he was stunned, and she must be Medusa. Fred noticed this and was confused. “What have you done Esmeralda?”-He asked angry. 

“Nothing, Fred. Now listen to me, we need to find a witch who undoes his spell.”-Esmeralda said cold and stern.  Something made Fred doubtful and he didn’t trust her, he pulled out his pocket knife as he turned and tried to stab her in from behind. But before the knife’s tip was anywhere near her, she grabbed Fred’s wrist in a second.  “Fred, Fred, Fred, how silly of you, you know that I’m stronger and faster than you and I can still manipulate you if you don’t listen to me.”-Esmeralda hissed. 

“Ok, you said you need a witch. The only witch apart from Mimi that I knew is dead.”-Fred stated.

“Well, that is very disappointing Fred, Mariposa’s mother is strong witch, you moron.”-Esmeralda stated with an angry expression on her face.

“If that is so then we need Brat, only Mimi knows her grandmother’s whereabouts.”-Fred said laughing. 

“Really not funny Fred, you know I can’t manipulate Brat because he is under Mimi’s possessive spell.”-Esmeralda said with disappointment in her voice.
