Chapter 3: CHAPTER THREE~Chanel
Siobhan is the first to spot some boys kicking something or someone on the ground. The boys were all wearing black mask on their faces exposing only their eyes and mouth.
"Ohmygod." Siobhan whispers in freight. "it's Jarett. They're going to kill Jarett." her eyes blaze with fire.
"Calm down, Shiv. Are you really sure? We can't really see what's going on there, it's dark." She's angry I can tell and if it gets the best of her, she will explode.
"I can feel it, Chanel. We need to do something. I'm about to give in to this anger breeding in me."
"Okay. Take my hand."
"Deja que surja el poder que brilla con tanta fuerza. Deja que surja la fuerza más fuerte que todas las fuerzas. Ven y Lucha y elimina el mal que precede a la Tierra. Ven y derrota a Los demonios que nos están Mirando Ahora Mismo." we both chant together. Bright light like a ball appears from our joined hands and we direct it towards the boys, hitting them, the force causing them to fly backwards. Using my eyes, I levitate the already unconscious Jarett in thin air, bringing him to where we stood.
"Oh god. Look how injured he is." cries Shiv. He is indeed seriously injured. Blood gush from his nose, mouth and neck. His cheeks have red and black bruises.
"We would heal him, don't worry, Siobhan. Let's just get him out of here and to your place."
"No. Don't use magic on him. Jarett is very smart so he would ask questions. I would call the family doctor. Do you think those boys were demons?"
"No. If they are demons, they wouldn't be weakened this easily. Come on, we've done our part. Teleport us out of here." Siobhan has the gift of teleportation. We couldn't us it earlier because when she doesn't know her destination, she could land elsewhere. It was like flying and landing blindly.
I get home so tired after making sure Shiv and Jarett were okay and wouldn't be needing my help. Being a witch, especially a very important and powerful one is all fun, games and excitement, adrenaline rush but when it comes down to it, to the demons, the coven witches, the rogue witches, it is damn scary. My mom's family and Siobhan family come from a very long line of powerful witches. The most powerful witches in the coven. But when the only remaining Ancestral witch was murdered, the coven divided and mom went into hiding because she's directly from that lineage. She met my dad during one of her escapades in America and they got married, had us, and she never left. We've been staying under the radar but sometimes a little mistake might not go unnoticed. I take off my clothes and climb my bed anticipating my fantasy world but end up falling asleep.
"Oh, you traitor. You better wake up this instant, Chanel."
I jump up from bed very confused and panting with sweat dripping down my face and neck. The room is too bright. Who would do this to me?
"How could you leave last night? We agreed to stay." I manage to open my eyes to see Kourt and furious Alina standing by my bed, hands on their waist. Nothing they were saying made any sense to me.
"Huh?"
Kourtney rolls her eyes." Forget it. Nothing we say will make any sense to her until she's had her cup of coffee. I'd go get it." I shut my eyes back as I try to remember what I was dreaming about before I was so rudely interrupted.
Eyes.
Light blue eyes.
I was dreaming about the hot guy from our party the previous night. I didn't even get his name before leaving. I mentally facepalm myself.
Kourtney comes back with a cup of hot coffee. I sit up and take the first four sips letting it do its magic and wake me up. Nothing beats starting your day with a wet dream and a hot cup of coffee. Now I can function properly.
"Your intake of caffeine is not healthy for someone your age." Alina tells me.
"Oh puh-lease. You're just jealous you can't stomach coffee." I stick my tongue out at her.
"Very mature. So, tell us, why did you and Shiv leave last night.?"
Another thing about being a witch is that we're sworn to secrecy. We cannot tell anyone about our true identity, not even our best friends. "Shiv got a call from the hospital so we had to rush down. We couldn't find either of you."
Their eyes widen. "What? What happened?" Kourt ask.
"Jarett was attacked by a gang I think and was badly injured. It's really bad guys. They did a number on him."
Alina scoff. "This is exactly what I've been telling homegirl. Jarett is not man enough. He couldn't even defend himself? That's the height of it, she needs to break up with him. I bet if it was Rémy, he'd have beaten the crap out of them, and they'd be the ones in the hospital right now not him." I couldn't tell her Rémy is a wizard and that's why he's strong.
"That's such an awful thing to say, Lin. I know my baby is strong and all that but do not compare him to Jarett. Siobhan loves him and he loves her too so let them be." Kourt admonishes her.
I watch them argue back and forth without talking because in a way Alina is right. Shiv is always protecting him and, in our world, his being weak Is a disadvantage to her and Kourtney is right too, Alina was being harsh and mean. I listen to them with batted breath until something Kourt said earlier rings back in my ear.
"Wait, what? Baby?"
They both turn at once to look at me, color creeping up Kourt's face. "So Rémy kissed me last night. We were upstairs in my room cuddling the entire night. He didn't let go of me once. I finally got to sleep in his arms." she says dreamily followed by a sigh. Ewwww. That's so gross.
"Zip it in. I know you're excited about the recent developments in your life, but please can I not hear about my older brother kissing my best friend? That's disgusting." I say making an irritated face.
Alina smacks my arm. "Shut it and quit being a Debby downer. She's your best friend, and she had an exciting night, it is her responsibility to preach to the church and we must listen. So please pastor Kourtney, preach on."
Kourtney continues like we didn't just stop her. "We were talking about his last semester in college and how many parties he's been to. The next thing I know he's leaning in, I'm leaning in, lips locked, and I could have sworn we kissed for hours when it was just minutes. We spent the entire party together and when it was time for everyone to leave, he asked if he could sleepover and of course, I said yes."
"That doesn't sound like Rémy. You guys are disgusting. Alina, where were you when this lady was smooching my brother?"
"Oh, dear. I was being smooched myself."
Shocker. "What? By whom?" I nearly cry.
"Rémy's friend whose name I cannot recall. We should throw more parties. Last night was fun."
"Yeah well, Last night is over and now, Siobhan needs us. So, I'm going to get dressed and we're going to go over to hers and spend the day with her."
Alina whistles. "When did you become so bossy? Damn girl."
I roll my eyes at her and get up to go to the bathroom. My mind was still troubled with those people that beat up Jarett. I know I told Shiv they weren't demons but what if they were? I can't rule that fact out completely. I would have to talk to mom as soon as I get back. As I lower my body into the bathtub, my head flings back, my sight become a blur, my pupils go inside leaving just my sclera. A vision is coming.
"Vision of day and night, reveal to me what I need to know." I chant. The sky opens and I see Jarett lying on Shiv's bed frail and scared, his strength leaving him second per second. He was going to die. The sky closes and my sight returns back to normal. Whether Shiv likes it or not, we have to use magic to save him else he'd die.
