Sink Into Me

23: "Yes, I'm A Witch."

____________

Michael grabbed me by the waist as I tried advancing onto Katherine.

"Calm down." Michael whispered in my ear but I only turned my attention onto him and scowled.

"I'm not entirely happy with you either. I'm not discussing this with you yet. It's her I want to talk to." I focused my glare back to Katherine. "Why all this time she's been hiding this large secret."

Michael cleared his throat.

"The situation isn't the same," I snapped at him. "It's different for you... Sort of. Well... Oh, be quiet. The real thing here is that you two have probably known each other before we even started college and acted as if you'd never set eyes on each other before now."

I tried once more to escape his grasp but, of course, it was no use. Damn his inhuman strength.

Kate raised a brow at me and for the first time, she looked serious. Usually she'd be joking or teasing but right now, it's the most serious I've ever seen her. I didn't like it. "It's not something I would go around yelling to the world, Eve. Same for Michael. And plus you just confirmed what he was a few days ago so don't go pointing any fingers."

She had a point... Damn.

"My family and his have been connected for just under a century. My great grandmother was the one to teach me and my brother," She pointed her thumb toward the man I'd suspected was related to her. "How to perform witchcraft."

"My sister and I have known Michael all of our lives." Sam said. "He's practically family. Plus Jonathan. The bond between our families is strong and will remain that way. So you might see us at Mike's from time to time." He winked at me but I glared back.

"That isn't the point." I pried Michael's hands off my waist and turned to him. His eyes were filled with worry and anxiety, for what I wasn't sure.

Kate scoffed. "Look, Evie. I am a witch. Not a vampire like you may have thought not some stupid supernatural thing you read online but a witch. I understand you probably thought I was the bad guy here and hey, I can't blame you. I can be shady at times."

I snorted humourlessly and mumbled, "'At times' is an understatement."

She narrowed her eyes and I found myself clenching my fists willing myself not to flinch or step backward. Katherine could be a very intimidating woman when she wanted to be.

I could see her jaw ticking as she ground her teeth together. "I also understand that you've got a bit of a temper which I've only had a taste of last week at Yasmin's house. I'm a tease, hun. I had fun saying those things and watching your face change to confusion the past few months. It's what I do. Get over the fact I'm a witch because the facts don't change..." She then showed me that mysterious grin of hers finally making me step back into Michael's chest. "...In this case. So don't piss me off."

"And what if I do?"

All of a sudden, the lights in the room started to flicker slightly and there was this deep vibrating sound that made Michael's body tense and my ears ring.

"You'll see."

I looked up at Michael's face and watched him as he shut his eyes. Samuel ran a hand through his short dark brown curls and sat down on one of the couches as the lights returned to normal and the vibration disappeared.

"Is this why you're here, Kate?" Michael snapped surprising me.

"I'm here to drop these off." She went out of the room and came back with a bag. "Underwear, shoes and clothes for you, Miss. O'Shea. And we need to talk to Michael."
