Story: Bespelled
I am a powerful witch, daughter of those who shaped the world and bent it to their will. I have a legacy to uphold.
Which I’ll do on another day.
I turn on my heel and dash away. I also nearly eat shit three steps into my getaway sprint.
Alcohol and sand do not mix well.
I flail, then right myself and book it, using a pinch of my magic to spur me onward and help my balance.
Behind me, Kane growls, the sound full of annoyance and maybe a little possessive promise. Then he’s chasing after me.
I manage to run a total of maybe ten steps before his arms wrap around my waist and he swings me over his shoulder, causing my skirt to ride up. Only a quick spurt of my magic prevents the whole party from seeing my ass.
A group of nearby witches and mages whoop and catcall us.
“I’m done playing,” Kane growls into my ear, ignoring the attention we’re receiving. “We’re going.”
I see red.
Who’s offended you,est amage?
You stay out of this.
I fear for the person who crossed you,Memnon says a little too gleefully for the sentiment to be genuine.Also, the eyes are a great place to attack first.
I’m not interested in Kane’s eyes.
To Kane, I say, “I will curse your dick to shrivel up and fall off if you don’t put me down.”
“That’s more than a little disturbing,” Kane says, “but you and I both know that I won’t be cowed by a threat.”
Before I can respond—or gather my magic—Kane presses his nose into my side and gives me another sniff. “You still don’t smell right,” he says.
I want to scream. Instead, my power rolls off me in agitated waves.
The lycan must sense it, because he says, “Don’t make a scene.”
Going to murder him. Going to enjoy it too.
“Says the man who’skidnappingme,” I hiss out. Ibethe doesn’t want a scene. Makes him look bad.
“I’m notkidnappingyou,” he says. “I’m—” His words are interrupted when another shifter comes up to him, asking about fuck knows what.
Across the party, I catch sight of Sybil, who mouths,Are you okay?
No, I respond.
Immediately, she shoves her drink at someone and begins walking toward us, determination in her eyes.
Before she can do anything, however, I reach my arm out toward the cliffside, where over a dozen brooms rest.
“Come to me,” I order in Sarmatian, flicking a bit of magic out. I feel like a drunk Jedi as I call out to one of the brooms.
The alcohol is blunting a bit of my power, because for a second, the broom I focus on does nothing more than tremble where it leans against the sheer rock. But then, a little sluggishly, it peels itself from the wall and cuts through the crowd, knocking supernaturals aside.
The broom lands in my hands.
Success.
