You’re back ” Lia pushed Asher away, got off the desk and rushed at Dan excitedly.

Asher frowned, how funny, she was in a such a haste to get off him.

” Is it time to hypnotize my brother? ” She asked not knowing that a certain person was boiling beside her upon hearing her question.

“Umm,” Dan murmured nervously, he understood the look on Asher’s face. Asher thought he had exposed his secret to the girl.

“The witch is on her way ” Dan answered flawlessly clearing Asher’s misunderstanding.

“Really? ” Lia asked, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

He checked his wristwatch ” She should be here by…. ”

A sudden swishing sound had Dan duck to the side immediately , a dagger narrowly missing his heart.

With a cloudy puff, an auburn haired lady appeared in the middle of the room and lunged at Dan.

“You Bastard ” She cursed and gave him a flying kick “You dare to use my summoning orb”

The kick met Dan straight in the face and sent him crashing to Asher’s desk toppling over lot of items with him.

Earlier, Lia had retreated quietly to safety when she saw the girl appear. Things between couples can get a little heated sometimes.

“Why is she so mad at him? it’s just a break up, people do it all the time ” Lia asked Asher who was standing beside her watching the drama unfolding with keen interest.

“Don’t butt into matters that doesn’t concern you ” Asher replied blandly.

Lia was stunned, was he implying she’s a gossip? “You..! ” She struggled to speak but she just couldn’t find the right words to use refute his claims.

” Why are you so mad at me?! it was just a break up!” Dan yelled, tired of being dragged about.

She said “You took me to Antarctica! ”

He defended “For a romantic gesture, I just never expected breaking up with you there!”

“You left me on Antarctica ”

“Yes, I broke up with you and left you there cause an emergency came up ”

She spat bitterly “You left me stranded on Antarctica ”

“I …” Dan paused, disbelief pasted on his face “That’s impossible, you’re a witch, you have magic to teleport yourself ”

She threw her head back, laughing mirthlessly “My magic was exhausted, I had used them earlier intercepting witches who were on your tail.I almost died being out there in the cold, with no magic, no source of warmth. Heck! I didn’t even dress warmly cause you just came and whisked me away to Antarctica !”

There was anger in her eyes as she narrated her ordeal bitterly.

“It was only by sheer will power and the good Samaritan that found me , is that I’m alive today, yet you ask me why I’m so mad at you? ”

Dan was shell-shocked, so this was why she hated him so much . He had left her there thinking she still had her magic with her, he knew leaving that place was just a piece of cake for her. Unfortunately, she had used up her magic protecting him.

Although it’s being years after the great War and the purge but it was almost impossible to witness a solid relationship between vampires and many other supernatural creatures.

Vampires were viewed as a curse, an abomination, so a sexual relationship with one of them was prone to discrimination.

Immediately the treaty was signed, it was no longer a crime for a vampire to date other supernatural creatures mostly the witches and the werewolves but it was often frowned upon and some often took their dislike to the extreme.

Dan did not break up with her because he wanted to but he was forced to, it was break up or lose her. But she didn’t have to know that, he was taking that secret to the grave.

“Hello Sabrina ” Someone said from behind.

Sabrina turned around only to discover it was the infamous vampire leader.

“You’re still as dashing as ever ” Sabrina eyes the vampire who took her hand and placed a kiss on it.

“You’re still as dramatic as ever and by the way, you’re paying for the damages ” Asher replied.

Sabrina rolled her eyes “Like I would ” She scoffed until her eyes rested on a girl relaxing against the wall at a corner of the room.

“Who’s she? ” She asked curiously

“Asher’s ma- mmh guest ” Dan rephrased his reply when he saw the glare Asher was giving him.

Lia’s ears perked up when she heard them discussing about her.She stood back because she didn’t want to appear as a gossip, Asher really knew how to zero a person’s morale

“Lia! ” Dan called gesturing with his finger for her to come over.

She reluctantly came, throwing daggers at Asher who turned his head to the side claiming innocence.

“Hi, I’m Lia ” She stretched her hand for a handshake.

“Sabrina ” She replied enveloping her hand in a firm and warm handshake. Sabrina frowned slightly when her witch senses tingled, this girl was super dangerous , but she covered it up with a smile.

“Why did you summon me? ”

“We need you to hypnotize her brother, kid saw something he shouldn’t have seen and she doesn’t think he can handle it ” Dan explained.

Sabrina turned to face Lia “Seriously, you want to wipe his memories? ”

Lia stared at her confused “Can’t you do that?”

“Well hello, this is Little Town, a haven for supernaturals which you clearly are one of them though I can’t tell what exactly you are ” She breathed

“But the point is , as far as you’re a supernatural, he’ll keep getting involved with or without your knowledge and trust me, there are people and creatures out there who would try to involve him even if he doesn’t want to ”

Lia pressed her temple, this was more complicated than she thought. Sabrina was right, because of her, her dear brother was dragged into this mandurugo mess.

“It’s better he knows the truth than keeping him in the dark ” Sabrina concluded staring her straight in the eye.

Lia frowned, would Trevor accept her the way she was? She couldn’t tell, they just reconciled recently.

“No, take it away ” Lia replied firmly.

Sabrina sighs “Fine then but I have to warn you, if he ever gets an idea of the supernaturals, this memory I’m about to conceal will come rushing back at him and it will be amplified intensely ”

Lia gulped nervously, was she making the right decision?

“Do it ”

“Alright ” She claps “Get the boy ”

Dan nodded and disappeared , unfortunately, he returned seconds later without the boy, a huge scowl on his face.

“He’s not there ”

“What do you mean he’s not there ” Lia retorted.

“He left ”
