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

Chapter Sixty Five - Leave

"Minuet are you alright?!". I couldn't believe that he wasn't the only creature that was here too, there were a lot of magical creatures of other kinds locked up here as well.

Minuet didn't even respond. Maybe he was unconscious?

"You're so heartless!". I turned sharply and hit my fist against his chest in anger but my hands felt like a pillow.

"C'mon Alastair, tell her what you really are and who you are". He seemed not to care about what I did to him at the moment.

I turned to the still figure at the end of the magic-resistant prison who didn't move or talk at all.

"He's not what you think he is Cassandra. He's a demon in disguise who only tears fam-".

Xander only saying that to my face made everything worse for me at the moment that I ended up slapping him hardly.

"Stop saying untrue things about someone you don't know!". It hurt to hear such things from his mouth despite the fact that he already has him caged.

"You should've killed me rather than bringing her here Hunters". A hoarse voice radiated from inside of the cell.

"Minuet?! Your okay!". I left the shocked hunter and crouched to the bar of his cell.

"Leave". Minuet growled, not facing us the entire time.

His statement sent a pang to my chest. What did he mean by leave? Leave as in run from him? Leave as in run from Xander or....leave as in....

"W-what do you mean?". I couldn't barely say the words.

Minuet didn't respond to me this time. It was as if he just suddenly became cold at me and turned his back at me.

"Did you brainwash him..?!". I gritted through my teeth at Xander who simply wore a dark look and shook his head as a response.

"Of course he can't tell you, don't worry I'd tell you everything you need to know now". He assured me.

"No, I need to hear it from his mouth". I insisted at once, giving Xander a firm look.

"Good luck with that". Xander chuckled and left me with the prison. Of course he had locked me in the hallway if not I'd have freed them all.

"Minuet look at me". I pleaded.

He didn't respond or move.

"Alastair?". I sighed and mentioned his real name.

"Never call me that again". He turned abruptly at me. It was so dark at the end of the walls that I could only make of his red eyes there.

His eyes are red-

He isn't himself-

Gosh-

"Alastair". I repeated in a daring tone. I wanted to hit his nerves for him to approach me.

"I'm warning you". He growled.

"I would say it all I want but your not as hurt as I am right now". I blurted out angrily.

He didn't say anything.

"You knew everything the whole time didn't you?". I blurted out in a broken and sad tone.

"The more reason why you're only worthless to me, now get lost before I make you Cassandra".

I went numb mentally and emotionally at his cold words. Never has he spoken to me this harshly before and I didn't want to make it look like it hurt me but I was the very emotional type.

"What exactly are you?". I wondered.

He sighed and finally turned his stare back at my broken figure once more.

"Find someone who's more reliable and competent for you and just leave me and forget me". He suggested in a cold harsh tone.

The way he suddenly acted to me made me feel like I was the whole reason the two guy's world's were torn apart.

"You didn't answer the question!". I shouted angrily and hit my fist against the resistant bars.

"Don't do that". His voice came out shocked and fearful. The moment my skin came in contact with the bar I felt a wave of shock run through my veins.

"Oh? But I'm worthless you say..". I chuckled and staggered from the impact of the stun. It seems like these were strictly made for magical beings like us after all.

"J-just don't do something that end up taking your life and leave". He said from the corner of his velvet eyes.

I laughed at how messed up he sounded and reached out for the bars one more time but he took me by surprise this time by walking to my front finally.

My eyes widened at the multiple scars he had below his eye and jaw. There were marks all over him and his shirt was tattered, the clothes he had on showed his bare waist and chest.

"Minuet...look at me". I clasped my hands on my laps as I looked further into the dark cell.

"I'm not a human or cat can't you see that? I'm a demon, the easiest solution here is to forget me". He demanded with a hiss of anger and pain.

I was dumbfounded to speak in a moment like this as I was lost in how badly hurt he looked yet that didn't worry him.

"Stop looking at me like that, I'm fine!". He lashed out at me while tugging at the silver chains he was cuffed in.

"S-stop moving! They'd leave more cuts Minuet".

"The cuts here are not less than the ones I've caused in the past and present". He tilted his head to my side with a bitter smile at the corner of his lips.

It was now I noticed that the left side of his eye was amber and his right was red, I should be scared but here I am crawling at his step.

"I'm not scared of you Minuet, you try to scare me but that doesn't work you know?". I whispered and reached my hand out to his furry back, stroking it reassuringly.

"I'm your owner as well as your partner. Whether you like it or not, you're coming with me young man".
