Chapter 2 2

Leigh had two decesions to make quickly, and both required critical thinking. It was either she called the D. P. P informing them of Theo location, or stood there and watch him bleed to death.

The latter seemed to be more convincing, she didn't feel any remorse or pity for him. Why should she, he deserved everything that was happening to him right now, anyway how many innocent lives had he claimed when he went rogue, Leigh thought bitterly.

But then, the word rogue stuck on her thoughts like a sore thumb, he was rogue, the word was rogue, he was rogue when he massacred the town. It didn't mean that he did it on purpose. If it was true about the demon that possessed him, then maybe he was innocent.

Her eyes hovered on the limp body lying on the ground stiff, Theo's back went up and down in a rhythm a clear indication he was still breathing. Maybe she was lying to herself, maybe she wanted to help him.

Her grandma words came to her head again. 'You don't counter a bad thing with another bad thing, doing so will make things worse'.

She suddenly raced to their house and knocked on keeley's door, after knocking for sometime, Keeley opened the door while rubbing her eyes lazily.

"What is it?" She mumbled while yawning loudly. Leigh pulled her hand without hesitation and directed her towards their backyard. Keeley dragged behind Leigh still not sure what was happening, she atleast thought she was dreaming and wondered why her sister would drag her outside at the middle of the night.

It was only when Leigh stood beside a body that she got to her senses, she look at the body lying on the ground then to her sister unsure of whether her eyes were playing tricks on her.

Leigh pointed at the body and spoke. "Help me get him to my room"

Keeley bated her lashes feverently before her lips curled into surprise. "Leigh, what's going on here"

Leigh ignored her question and squatted before the body. "Would you stop asking questions and help me carry him into the house?, Unless you want him to bleed to death" she said curtly.

"Bleed?, Is he bleeding?, Who is he?, Why is he lying at your backyard." Keeley babbled feeling paranoid and afraid. Her eyes were still heavy with sleep and she was confused.

Even in Demonville, it isn't often that you wake at the middle of the night and find an almost dying body at your backyard.

After bracing herself by taking quick desperate breaths, she moved towards the body and helped Leigh to lift the man up.

The two girls staggered towards their door with a whopping 6"2 inches tall, 80 kg Theo on their shoulders, they carried him towards their stairs leaving trails of blood on the wooden floor as they moved.

Reaching the stairs, they had to pull him up, they couldn't walk past the stairs with him on their shoulders. After a tiring and heavy lifting of the almost dead lycan, they finally were able to pull him to keeley's room and made him lie on her bed.

Keeley now stared at Leigh with questions written allover her face. "Dont look at me like that, let's help him first, I'll explain everything later." Leigh stated walking towards her closet taking out a small dagger.

**************

The two girls sat down looking at Theo as he slept, his breathing was now normal and his wounds were now beggining to heal, on a small table next to Leigh's bed, was a metallic bowl with three silver bullets with inscription of D. P. P on them.

Leigh had managed to pull them out with the help of Keeley, she had learnt this from Liam who worked at the D. P. P representing the covens.

"Now what, you realize what you have gotten yourself into by helping him?" Keeley Suddenly asked breaking the prolonged silence.

Leigh seemed to be in thoughts while fixing her eyes entirely on Their. "I know" she muttered inaudibly.

"What are you going to do now"

"Once he wakes up, I'll take him to his pack, they will know what to do with him."

"Are you crazy Leigh. Do you want to get yourself killed?" Keeley asked her face going pale.

Leigh tilted her head and stared at her sister with a slight smile on her face, she seemed determined. "Not my plan exactly." she said.

"I'll perform a clocking spell on both of us and invade the indigo pack, no supernatural will be able to realize that I was there, I'll leave him there and come back. Happy?" she stated nonchalantly and Keeley heaved a relief sigh.

Keeley hugged her twin sister tightly squeezing her tightly. "Just don't get hurt, I still need to annoy you some more" she whispered on her back and Leigh chuckled.

"I won't , I promise." Leigh whispered back.

Theo suddenly moved while turning in bed and the two sisters stood up, he opened his eyes and tried to wake up but groaned loudly. The two sisters gazed at each other before Leigh suddenly rushed to her closet taking her spell book while talking to Keeley. "i'll perform the clocking spell now, meanwhile, go and wipe the trails of blood on the stairs, and don't mention any of these to mom and dad, until I return."

Keeley nodded her head and left without a word, Leigh smiled inwardly. Dispite their unending quarrels, the two were insparable, they loved each other and they were almost the same in everything. Keeley was abit extroverted, but that was it, she knew Leigh was the elder twin and knew when to argue and when to listen.

Leigh chanted the clocking spell clearly remembering every detail her grandmother had taught her, when she was sure she had everything in control, she helped Theo to rise on his feet and helped him walk out.

Theo was too exhausted to speak, he remained mute throughout the whole time which made Leigh cringe abit, she was still unsure of Theo and anticipated anything from him.

Leigh had already took her father's car keys and helped Theo to get inside the car before driving off.

********

The street was eerily silent as Leigh drove past the town square, it wasn't always like this, Theo was a popular name in Demonville. Not in a good way of course.

"Why did you choose to help me" a deep voice stated huskily next to Leigh almost making her to cause an accident. She breathed in deeply while concetrating on the road before looking at Theo who was observing her.

That was the first time he had literally spoken, and his voice, she didn't know how to explain it. Leigh looked at him realizing how handsome he really was, his bright green eyes with a slight glint of sadness on them looked suprisingly stunning.

His blonde hair though scruffy looked like golden strands. "You startled me" Leigh said returning her eyes on the road while ignoring his question completely.

Theo groaned and helped himself into a more comfortable position. "You understand that their is a curfew in place?"

Leigh glared at him. "Because of you"

"Why risk helping me?" Theo asked his gaze going vacant.

"Because i'm not a cold hearted psycho like you"

Theo glanced at her his eyes laced with a slight glint of sadness.

"Do you believe i'm a psycho killer" he asked in monotone.

Leigh faced him." Should I?"

"Maybe" he mumbled.

"Aint you scared I might do something to you" Theo added.

Leigh looked at him squarely. "I'm a firstborn witch, you don't stand a chance against me."

Theo chuckled before keeping quiet,.

To avoid the D. P. P patrol, Leigh veered of the main Street and took a rough road that led to the woods, the car sped past the trees with a creepy silence everywhere.

The sound of the engine speeding was now what could be heard. The two peaple inside the car kept quiet each one in his own ocean of thought.

After driving for several minutes Theo told Leigh to stop the car."Stop" he said gazing through the window. Leigh slowed down before applying the brakes and the car came into a screeching halt.

Theo opened the door to his side and staggered outside, they had arrived at the bayou the territory to the indigo pack. Leigh also walk out looking around.

"You can now leave" Theo stated coldly to Leigh.

"I'll leave when I seem it myself, can't leave you here yet, I didn't save your life just to waste it." Leigh replied curtly.

"I can smell the scent of my pack now, it'll be dangerous if they found you in their territory, you know the rules on territory."

"Look who is speaking about rules" Leigh stated sardonically.

Theo groaned giving up. "Your funeral " he muttered.

"Thank you" She stated nonchalantly.

The two set on foot walking through the bayou, the terrain was Abit sloppy and hard to trek on, Leigh was getting frustrated. Theo seemed to notice and decided to speak. "You know, you can get back from here, I can just shift and find my pack, it'll be easier for me, it'll also make my wound heal faster."

Leigh replied. "Not a chance"

Leigh noticed few wooden houses from afar and sighed. The two continued walking until they arrived at a clearing, the houses were now visible from here, the wooden shanties were aligned in a straight line moving in something like a straight line.

The quality of the houses improved with how the terrain got more hilly, the house at the top was more beutiful than the rest, it was weird.

"Alpha's house" Theo stated calmly realizing Leigh's confusion about the arrangements of the houses.

He added. "The house are aligned according to rank, the house at the topmost belongs to the alpha while the bottom one is occupied by omegas."

Leigh was baffled, she knew that wolves we're weird and difficult animals, but their social arrangements were even weirder.

Theo and Leigh's invasion had been long perceived by the packs patrol and they were immediately sorrounded, Leigh looked at Theo suprised.

They were about twenty werewolves sorrounding them all in wolf form.

The sound of bones breaking rented the air as a black wolf quickly shifted into human form, Leigh's mouth went gape as Russel stood before her naked.

Russel walked towards them observing them before finally speaking. "You shouldn't be here"

The question was vague as it wasn't clear who he was speaking to. Theo quickly spoke. "Is that how you welcome your big brother, Russel."

Russel seemed annoyed. "You two shouldn't be here, you have now put our pack into danger by coming here" he gazed at Leigh. "You, didn't your parents teach you about invading other peaples affairs?"

Leigh glared daggers at him. "Dont speak to me like that Russel. I just saved your brothers life, it's either you help him, or let him die. My job here is done."

"You should leave" Russel said curtly.

"Fine, I'm leaving." Leigh almost yelled at him. She heaved a sigh and glanced at Theo before turning to leave.

"I'm not your enemy Leigh. You should know that by coming here, you have put you and your family in danger. Next time, be careful of the choice you make."

Leigh left and walked away, she knew that there was truth in what Russel had said. But she had already put her hand on fire, now she had to prepare to endure the pain when it start getting burned.

"You want to say that you saw the murderous, psycho, crazy Theo and wasn't scared of him?" Bonnie whined while eying Leigh disbelievingly as they walked towards their class, the wizardry class.

"I never said I wasn't scared" Leigh breathed rolling her eyes.

"So you were scared?"

"a little"

"What did he look like, did he have claws, was his eyes black like coals, was he-"

"Bonnie!" Leigh cut Bonnie off.

"What?" she asked narrowing her face.

"You are paranoid" Leigh said rubbing her temples.

"I know" Bonnie said quickly. "But I'm just too overwhelmed." She added.

"Overwhelmed by what?"

"By the fact that my best friend helped a psycho killer" Bonnie stated with a tone.

"He is not a psycho killer Bonnie" Leigh replied defensively. Bonnie's mouth opened wide as she eyed her best friend skeptically, this was something knew.

"Leigh" she called her standing infront of the classroom door.

"What?" Leigh asked straddling her books closer to her chest.

"There must be something wrong with you"

"Why would you say that?" Leigh asked furrowing a brow.

"The guy killed nearly half the town, he is wanted by the D. P. P, if the coven comes to found out that you helped him, you gonna be in trouble." Bonnie said seriously as a matter of fact.

"They won't, I used a clocking spell." Leigh said while her eyes hovered past Bonnie's shoulder and her lips twitched into a smile.

Bonnie tilted her head to see the cause of her friends amusement and she grunted loudly.

A blonde sixteen year old boy waved his hands at Bonnie with a goofy smile.

"I think you have someone to worry about now more than me" Leigh smiled triumphantly as she walked past Bonnie into the class.

"If Jimmy speak to me a single word today, I swear I'll break his head." Bonnie mumbled under her breath and Leigh chuckled as they walked to their sits.

Bonnie sat at her sit which was next to Jimmie's seat, she was trying as hard as she could not to look at him and when she did, she closed her eyes sharply and sighed.

"Jimmy, why are you staring at me like that" she asked looking at him.

Jimmy stared at her with a wide grin on his face and opened his mouth to speak but Bonnie waved him off quickly.

"Forget I asked" she said and quickly removed a large book with an inscription.

WIZARDRY GRIMOIR

She flipped the pages and stilled at a particular section and begun reading.

SECTION 35 OF WIZARDRY

During the full moon on the bloodmoon witches are at their prime strength, if a witch at this point is incapable of maintenance of the power, it may consume them and cause something known as 'morte de familiar'. The excess power leave them and create a creature known as a familiar, without proper control, the familiar is capable of possessing a body.

Bonnie quickly closed the book and gazed where Leigh was, something ticked her mind and she kept quiet, she heaved a sigh and leaned on her chair while waiting for the lesson to start.

Then without wanting, she stole a glance at Jimmy, she regretted it, always, and always, Jimmy would find a way to annoy her.

"Can I ask you a question?" Jimmy suddenly asked when he realized that Bonnie had looked at him.

"Do you have to?" Bonnie breathed.

"Its important" he insisted.

"What is it?"

Jimmie's innocent face was quickly replaced by a goofy expression and Bonnie sweared.

"Don't" she warned.

"What do you call a bee that can't make up its mind.?" He asked smiling sheepishly.

Bonnie glared at him but she was curious, Jimmy had been really into Bonnie since grade four but his way of showing it was really weird, apart from his silly and lame jokes, he had no effective pick up lines.

"What do you call it" she asked defeated.

" Maybe" Jimmy said before bursting out laughing, Bonnie had no option but to chuckle as the other students gazed their way to see what's going on.

Mr Danville walked into the class and everything became organized, students stopped chatting and waited for him to begin his lesson.

He is nicknamed the spelling bee due to his love in spell lessons, he gazed at his students observing them for a while. Before walking towards his desk and placed his grimoir there.

"Witches and warlocks, I hope you had a nice weekend, hope you enjoyed it, or not." He stated. "This week is going to be a tough one and also a bussy one, it has come to our notice that a very dangerous Creature is out in the loose."

Bonnie and Leigh quickly stole glances.

Mr Danville continued. "Students are advised to stay in groups and if any of you should come across the creature, you should report to the paranormal police." He stopped and hovered his eyes across the classroom before continuing.

"Which is why today, I'm going to be talking about a very rare occurrence in the whole galactic existence. The bloodmoon."

Leigh felt her phone vibrating in her pocket and quickly removed it. There was a message from a new number and she quickly tapped on it opening it.

'Meet me after school' the message read. Leigh quickly typed an answer back.

'Who is it' she waited for sometime before the new number replied.

'It doesn't matter, I'll tell you where to meet me'

'I can't meet a stranger, I'm going to block you now' she texted.

The reply this time came faster. 'Fine, it's Theo. There is something I want to tell you, it's important.'

Leigh typed quickly. 'How'd you get my number'

'i'll tell you later. Meet me at Gerrard square after school, bye, I love you' he finished with a kiss and a heart.

Leigh unwillingly groaned loudly before realizing that she was still in class, Mr Danville glared at her, "Is there something you would like to share with us miss leigh." he asked curtly

"i'm sorry." She muttered closing her eyes in embarrassment.
