Love Bitten 4

Chapter 18 - She Has Come To Say Hi

Layla's POV

When Hope said that she needed to do some things around the mansion, I couldn't get back to sleep. I just pretended. Well, I did sleep a little I guess...

Suddenly, my necklace started to randomly float in the air. "Um, what are you doing, little crystal? Why are you floating?" I asked it, before I felt something hot touch my cheek. I didn't see anyone or anything, making me have a little panic attack as my breathing got heavier. "You are too precious for this world, aren't you?" 

What was that?! The voice sounded like it was from a woman. Could this possibly be...

"Morca?" I asked out loud, before I heard a deep chuckle from somewhere in the room. "Don't laugh at me, you horrifying demon. We don't want to do your dirty work." I told her, then I finally saw a pair of stone cold orange eyes. "I thought you had an eye patch? Or did your eye magically heal itself when you became something evil?" I decided to ask her before she replied, "My eye patch was just for show. That prick, Matthew made me wear it and made me fake my backstory. I am glad that I killed him and threw his body into a pit of lions."

What the actual hell was wrong with this creepy bitch?

Just about I was going to open my mouth to respond, the crystal on my necklace started to flash purple. Then, I watched the door open to reveal Hope. "Oh look who it is! How are you, Hope? Did you have a nice...no I shouldn't say that in front of your mate..."

"Get out. Now." she hissed at her, baring her fangs while she moved towards the end of the bed in protection mode. "Why should I? Me and your mate were having a little chat. I don't want to leave..."

I then watched Hope use some type of force to pin Morca against the wall without using her hands. Morca was then visible as I saw her full body. "Whoa, girl! Chill!" she exclaimed before she laughed shortly after. "Shut up! You will go NOWHERE near my mate. Do you hear me?" she asked her, her voice low and deep. This wasn't Hope...

"Can you repeat that please? I couldn't hear you." Morca asked her before I watched my mate leave the room for a few seconds to return with a small metal water bottle. Morca's eyes then widened with fear. What was inside that bottle?

Hope then turned around to check if I was alright, "This will make her leave, baby girl. If you want, you can hide under the sheets." she told me before she turned around to look at Morca, who was struggling to break free.

"Morca, I am not that same broken girl from that wretched circus anymore. I am different now. And my mother will always be in my dead heart. Begone, demon. Go back to where you came from. Hell." she said before she opened the bottle and threw it on Morca, who let out the loudest scream of pain which made my ears nearly bleed. 

She then became black smoke, who seeped through the wall and flew away. 

"Was that it?" I asked my girlfriend who quickly turned to look at me. She then walked over to me and pressed her lips against mine of resassurance.

"Yes, she's gone now. She was already dead. She died a few months ago due to an combination of strong medicine." she replied before her eyes became a dark purple. 

"What's the matter, my love?" I then asked her, my arms slowly wrapping around her neck.

"Nothing is wrong, baby girl. I just can't wait to show you my second home. That's all."

I smiled at her for a few seconds before she pressed her forehead against mine. "Go to sleep again now, baby girl. You will need it."

"For what?"

"I am not saying any spoilers."
