Richard barks at her.
“Same thing!” She says through her gritted teeth.
Theo approaches us smiling, which helps break the tension.
“Angel, wow you look gorgeous, come on.” Theo tells me, holding out his hand for me to take. I smile my thanks to him before looking to Dallah.
“Dallah this is Theo, Theo this is Dallah, oh, Princess Dallah.” I wink at her, bringing a smile to her lovely face.
“Pleasure to meet you Princess.” Theo say’s to her with a stunning smile.
“And you Theo.” She smiles back at him.
Richard’s gaze lands on us in turn as we speak; he looks so confused, so out of place, that it warms me to see. What he doesn’t know is that Dallah and I bounce off each other, so he is in for trouble now that we are together, strong, smart and will try to make his life hell. Sisters reunited, ready to take on the world if we have to.
We head to the table at the top of the room. Looking down at the number of people here is amazing, there must be hundreds of people, and they all came to celebrate Richards’s birthday! It must be the free alcohol and blood that they came for!
“Do you want another drink?” Theo asks.
“ Yes, please, no blood!” I tell him and receive a belly laugh.
I can’t keep my eyes off of Dallah, she looks so miserable sitting at Richard’s side. She catches my gaze and gives me a real smile, Richard looks at her smiling and follows her gaze, landing on me, he frowns before rolling his eyes.
“You look happy angel?”
“I am,” I tell him with a grin, squeezing his hand gently.
“You two are close?”
“Like sisters,” I tell him with pride.
When the celebrations get into full swing, Dallah and Richard go to greet the quests, while Theo and I sit at the table chatting and drinking.
“Theo, who is your friend?” A beautiful slender woman asks, while stepping up to us.
“Karen this is Zara, Zara Karen.” He introduces us reluctantly.
Please don’t be another Mary, that’s all I need!
“Hello Karen.” I say politely, standing and offering my hand.
“I don’t touch humans,” She says rudely scrunching up her face. “So this is the one Dallah has befriended?” She asks Theo in
Disbelief .
“If your gunna be like that, fuck off!” He growls at her.
She looks at him open mouthed as a frown appears on her face, then Theo holds the side of his head as if in pain. A Witch! I thought she was a Vampire with the whole Goth looking make-up and wearing a dress styled from the Victorian era. Theo’s face flushes red with anger while trying to fight the pain.
While she is concentrating on him, I pull back my hand in a fist and hit her in the face, and with my new Charmer strength, she falls to the floor 3 foot away. Damn, why couldn’t I have done that last night?
Theo grabs me and twists me behind his back, growling in anger as the Witch gets up on her feet with a snarl.
“You will pay for that dog!” She spits out, and then lifts her hands to her sides while speaking magic. However, she doesn’t finish, Dallah holds her up by the neck, and her feet dangle inches of the floor.
“How dare you Karen!” Dallah screams in her face with power.
“They were being rude to me, he knows I am royalty!” She squeals at Dallah , sounding frightened.
Dallah throws her to the floor, and we all watch her skid along the marble floor, Dallah then walks to follow her where she slides to a stop.
“Do not look at Zara, touch her, speak to her, ever again! If I find you have then I will banish you from the Coven. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?” Dallah screams at her full of rage.
The girl Karen scurry’s away from Dallah, who is now joined by Richard, who m finds the whole scene hilarious.
“Are you ok?” I ask Theo taking his hand.
“Yeah angel, I’m fine.” He tells me kissing my forehead, and smiling down at me.
“Zara, are you ok, come here.” Dallah pulls me by the hand to stand in front
