We were all sitting around the front room talking about what happened, the aunts had gone home to give a circle to Maragret, and plan the funeral or something. They didn't tell me much- they were quiet which was unusual; I offered to help but they told me staying here was what I needed. I worried about them; they have lost their leader. Their sister.
"So he's really gone?" Regina asked us all, Dylan and I looked at each other and nodd.
"He's gone" Sean hadnt let go of Dylan since she lost energy she was still weak, so was I. It was stupid of us both to use our energy up but it got rid of him.Blade is gone and he is never coming back. I yawned and leaned against Adrian, snuggling closer to him.
"Maybe we should all get some shut eye we can talk about it tomorrow." Some one said as I drifted off.
"Good idea." Adrain voice said; as I felt two strong warm arms lift me up and then felt us moving then I was placed onto a soft surface and then the arms wrapped back round me.
"Sweet dreams Hayley." he whispered in my ear as I drifted into sleep.
***
It's been a week. Today is Saturday and it was the day of Aunt Maragret's funeral,I hadnt cried for her yet. I don't know if I will, I want too but I know one of us has to be strong.
"You ready, baby girl?" Aunt Faye asked me, as she looked into my room.
"Yeah, I'll be down in a minute." I said to her, Aunt M got cremeted so we were having a little pay your respects at our magic shop which had been moved around so there was room for everyone. It was surprising how many people who have turned up; I came up here just too double check I looked okay. Aunt C had taken this the worst, she hadnt stopped crying. No one could blame her, she has lost her leader, her business partner, coven member and her sister. My aunts were connected in so many ways that now she's gone, they've lost a part of their souls.
"Hey." A voice said from behind me, sending shivers up my spine.
"Hi." I replied as the two strong arms wrapped around my waist.
"How you holding up?" He asked me, kissing my neck.
"I'm fine." I reply to him. Its been my answer for the past week.
"Baby." He said in a sigh, I shook my head.
"Please don't." He stared at me in the mirror and nodded. I'm grateful he hasn't pressed the subject. I couldn't talk about this.
"I got you something." He says, as I felt him unwrap one arm around my waist to reach in his back pocket. I raise my eyebrows as I wait for whatever he has gotten.
"Here." He said as he handed me a black velvet jewellery case. I looked at him through the mirror with shock as I opened it slowly inside there was a simple gold chain with a blue heart sapphire.
"It's beautiful." I whisper. "Can you put it on for me?" I asked him, he smiled and did for me. Once it was placed I gently touched the heart.
"Thank you Adrian" I whisper, with so much emotion. He kissed my neck as he wraps his arms around me.
"You're more than welcome." Adrian said to me. "I love you." He says to me.I stared at him but didn't say it back. How could I?
"Let's go downstairs." I say to him. Pulling away from his warm arms as I get ready to face the faces that held sorrow and sympathy for my loss.
DYLAN:
"You ready?" Sean asked me, looking around the door way. I didn't reply, just walked over to him. I hadnt said much lately, I didn't know what to do. I always had to go back to Blade but he is not here anymore. This may sound weird and wrong but I counted Blade as family; maybe a pyscho, bad power hunger murderer family member but still family; now he was gone. I was alone and lost. Slowly I walked downstairs to see the faces that are sad about Maragret death. Yeah right, some of the people in this very room hate the Sister Witches. Some because they don't believe in magic, that they're the devils and some down to jealousy.
I saw Hayley standing with her Aunts at the front of the room, where people were saying their sorrows. Hayley and I although haven't spent lots of time together since that night, we talk. She is my best friend.
'How you holding up?' I sent to her, her eyes drifted over to me for a second, then back to the person in front. She doesn't react with surprise anymore.
'I've been better.' She replies. 'The aunts are taking it worse.' Worry in her voice. I looked over at the Aunts and saw tears in their eyes, shadows under and looking tired. They are heart broken.
'They've lost their sister and coven leader all in one.'
'I know that but I cant help but worry' She said back. They are taking a break from
Magic because they blame magic for it but they will go back to it because it's part of who they are. I sighed out loud and in head.
'How's it going with Adrian?' I asked her, she shot me a look that I couldn't describe.
'As well as it could be expected... he got me this necklace' Her hand stroking the little blue heart I saw that was round her neck; it was his grandmothers, it was given to him to give to his true love. Hayley Parker.
'That's a very important necklace to him' I told her, her eyes showed no surprise, I was now standing with them hugging Julia.
'Should I give it away?' I nearly laughed at the panick in her voice.
'No. I was just telling you' she looked confused but nodded.
'What about you and Sean?' she asked me, I didn't answer because I didn't know.
ADRIAN: (Sorry about the pov changes)
I said those three words to her and she pulled away from me.
"Hey man!" Sean said hitting my back in that man friend way.
"Hey" I said distracted, thinking about Hayley, I watched as different people came up to her hugging saying there sympathy. She showed no emotion, and hasn't for loosing Maragret; Im just waiting after everything she needs to break. She has too.
"Im worried about our girls" Sean said, I sighed.
"So am I" I said to him, then looked away from Hyaley to Sean who wasn't anywhere near her beauty. He was watching Dylan who was now holding Hayley's hand as this blonde women stood in front of them. "How is it going with Dyl?" I asked him, he looked at me giving me the answer before he voiced it.
"She's pulled away again. I think Blade's death has hit her; he's gone. She has no more reason to run from me" Sean said.
"You'll get her back; you always do" He laughed with no humour.
"Maybe Im sick of chasing her" he said to me. I sighed, maybe. I think my chase has just begun.
"Us wolves never get tired" I said, now he laughed for real.
"True" and we stood there watching our mates as they talked to strangers.
~HAYLEY~ POV:
"Thankyou" I said, hoping this would end soon. When I had that feeling in my gut where you know a storm is about to come.
"Im so sorry for you lost" Monica's voice said. I looked at her she was wearing a red corest top that was nice idea, but it was very low cut flashing her boobs, and low jeans that showed her navel, with a gray boy jacker over it, it was a nice jacket.
"Thanks" I said to her, waiting for her to move on.
"So what are you aunts planning on doing with this space?" she asked me, I looked at her confused.
"What do you mean, they're keeping it as far as I know"
"Shame really." Monica said looking at the shop.
"What is?" Totally confused. "What on earth are talking about?"
"Well its shame that my dad is going have to buy you out" she said to me. I looked at her with narrowed eyes. "I mean with your aunt Maragret gone; lets be safe to say that she was the bussiness owner" she was I thought but my aunts wont sell it.
"We're keeping the shop" Aunt F said to Monica.
"Not for long" Monica said with a evil smile.
"What do you mean?" Julia asked her worry etched in her voice.
"I think Im going to use this as a dance studio..." Monica said. Anger boiled up.
"I don't think you are. This is my aunts shop" I warned her.
"Not for long. I will have this shop; these wqitches are not capeable to get money; Mummy Witch was the hard headed on considering daddys tried to buy this many times but all we got back was no." Monica said with laugh "Karma's a bitch huh" she said to me. The shop was having troubles? A dance studio? "Oh and Hayley I should warn you; you could of avoided this" she said to me with a tut tut tut after.
"How could I then Monica?" I asked her sarcastically, arms crossed.
"If you had just listened to my threat about Adrian." She said with narrowed eyes now. "He is mine. I don't like people taking what belongs to me" she warned in a low voice.
"Really neither do I; I had my mum and my aunt taken ... Life's a bitch" I said to her, she growled softly.
"Hayley I want Adrian" she said to me.
"Monica what you want you cant always get" I said, she glared.
"Fine. I want this shop and I will get it and him too" she said and beant forward to whisper "and I ALWAYS get what I want" she said to me, with a sneer. As she moved back she had a smug smile on. "I think a dance studio will be a good idea" she said to no one just outloud. Before I could realise what I was doing my fist was in the air and connected to her face.
"I think you may need a nose job" I said to her with a smug tone; there was blood coming out her nose.
"You BITCH!" She squealed. I smiled at her.
"You said it" with a wink.Her hand came up and slapped me across the cheek.
"I will GET HIM AND THIS SHOP" She shouted. "I'll make you life a hell" she warned me.I shrugged.
"Cant be any worse" I said and punched her again, and was then what surprised me was she caught it quickly and pushed me on to the floor, getting on top of me and slapped me. Strachting my face I felt the air hit the stratch, I let a hiss out.That was painful. Now I'm soryr for this girls, but I grabbed her hair yanking back and she screamed in pain. HAH-HAH BITCH! I thought. I quickly rolled us over so she was under me and started to punch.
"This is my shop, he is mine." I said bringing punches, she had stratched my arm a few times but I didn't care.
"Stop her" someone said, I didn't pay attention just punched. I had enough! Take my mum away, my aunt... but not my magic. Not that! Not again! I shouted in my head.
Two arms pulled me off and I struggled. "Stop it" A calming voice said, I stopped struggling for a second and saw Dylan helping Monica sit, there was blood on her face, dripping form her lip and nose bruises coming.
"You're a physco" she said to me watching me with fear in her eyes.I didn't apoligise for the blood, her face nothing.I pulled away from the arms, and walked out to the back.
It was wrong I ruined it but at the moment I didn't care; once I was out back I dropped into the mud and cried.
I knew he was following me and he was the one who stood infront of me.
"Im so sorry" I whispered to him, to everyone. He beant down in a crouch and gently brought my face up to his, tears streaming down my face.
"Baby you have nothing to apoligise for especially to me" he said, wiping the tears away. "It was only a matter of time before you cracked and that's okay baby, let me be strong for you. Maybe beating up Monica wasn't the best idea but it was interesting to watch" he said with a small smile.
"I'm sorry" I whispered again, he smiled at me.
"You don't always have to be strong baby, let me be strong for both of us." He said to me. I nodded to him. I was tired of holding it together, he smiled and slipped his arms under me and walked into the house, I placed my head on his shoulder.
"You do know I can walk" I said to him, he laughed slightly.
"I know but Im being strong" he said in my ear, we were now in my bed room. He placed me on the floor for a second while he laid down on the bed and opened his arms, I quickly got into them; and cried my heart out to him.
