*****
5 I was bewitched by a crazy warlock.
If someone told me a week ago that I would be lying on Kai's bed, reading part of his and I's homework as he lay down on my stomach and play on his PS4, I would have told that person that he needed to get checked in a mental hospital. We hated each other and it was unimaginable that we would be in such a disturbingly peaceful situation. But fate plays with you; the unexpected always happens and Kai's head was beginning to feel heavy.
"Stop gurgling your stomach. My sensitive ears could hear the disgusting noises it's making," Kai complained.
"I'm not God and I cannot control my stomach. And why don't you just lie on a pillow like a normal person?" I suggested.
"Your stomach is softer," he said casually.
I blushed a little and I didn't know why. I mean there's got to be a compliment somewhere there. I shook my head and decided to shut up.
"Cat got your tongue, slave?" He seemed to be smirking and wiggled his head on my stomach.
"No, there's no cat around and stop that." I wiggled uncomfortably. His head was tickling me.
"Why? Does it feel good?" He did it some more and I dropped my book to stop his head.
"Stop!" I laughed.
He stopped and put his hands over mine. The heat of his hands burned through me and I slightly shivered from his feverish touch. He began to guide my hand to his soft, black hair, making me run my fingers through them.
He groaned. "Continue." He closed his eyes, letting go of my hands and put the PS4 to the side.
And that was how ladies and gentlemen, Harry found us. As usual, he barged in with a playful smirk on his face. He seemed shocked at how intimate and domestic we looked. Out of embarrassment, I put my hands away but Kai stopped them and pressed them on his head, urging me to continue.
"Wow! The last time I came here, you guys were pulling each other's hair out in front of the Xbox. I never thought I 'd see you guys on the bed together like a married couple," Harry bluntly said, making me blush.
"What can I say, I'm a vampire tamer," Kai gloated and I gritted my teeth.
"Don't say that as if I'm an animal, you wereva--"
Kai began to tickle me hard, drowning my words in laughter. His eyes glistened with threath, making me know that I shouldn't tell anyone about his secret.
I was suddenly on his lap, his arms tickling me everywhere. "Please!! Kai!" I screamed. He finally stopped and held me close. For some reason, I didn't mind. Being close to him became comfortable and familiar. I mean I slept with the dude and he was always touching me that it became normal.
"Rita, you're so cute," Harry chuckled.
"Thank you." I blushed a little as Kai growled.
"This slave? What's so cute about her?" Kai pinched my cheek, stretching it out.
I slapped his hand away as I glared at him. I then patted his shoulder, swiping away the germs, leaned back on his chest, and rested my head on his shoulder.
"Shut up, dog shit." I rolled my eyes as they both chuckled.
"So what's the news, Harry?" Kai finally asked him.
"Right, remember the warlocks and witches' initiation? Well, there's a new witch student and they will initiate her tonight. You know, perform the ritual and crap. Wanna crash their party?" Harry smirked like a devil.
"A ritual?" My eyes widened in interest. "Will there be naked guys?"
Kai immediately pressed my cheeks together in one hand. "There will be no nude men there so forget your virgin fantasies."
"I can't believe you're still a virgin, Rita." Harry laughed.
"Bwhy?" My word was slurred because of Kai's grip on my face. I held on his hands to pull it away but he wouldn't budge.
"Coz you're hot. Any guy would go ga-ga on you. I mean I would totally hit on you if it weren't for Ka--"
"Harry, don't put ideas in this innocent girl's mind." He glared at him and they seemed to have battled in their heads with mind links as I blushed. Me and hot? I don't think they go together.
Kai finally let go and laughed at something Harry said. I must have zoned out of the conversation because I had snuggled closer to Kai, burying my head at the nape of his neck. Why does he smell so good? So delicious, I want to have a taste, even just a little--
"Slave, are you listening?"
I looked at him and immediately retracted my fangs. "What?"
"We'll be crashing their shitty ritual. So dress in something nice, I'll pick you up in ten minutes." Kai told me and I nodded my head vigorously. How exciting. I'd love to see a witch ritual.
"It's settled then. Harry don't forget to spread the word."
"Aye, aye alpha." Harry stood up and left.
"What are you still doing here slave? Can't bear to leave me?" Kai teased, putting his hands in my shirt and squeezed my boobs.
I immediately jumped away from him and screamed. "You big pile of dogshit! How dare you touch me again! You're so dead."
He raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Dead? Let's see you try."
"You better prepare yourself, Kai. I'll attack you from all different sides."
His smirk became wider and it made me think that I just gave an empty threat to a devil.

"This is so cool Kai, they really look like warlocks and witches," I said excitedly.
Kai clamped my mouth shut. "No shit, slave. Shhh, witches have sharp ears."
"God, they're trying so hard. Any moment, everyone will arrive." Harry scotched beside me.
We hid behind a big dusty boulder. It was so dusty I almost sneezed the life out of me.
I leaned closer, squeezing between Kai and Harry to get a better view of what was happening.
They were all wearing cloaks and they surrounded two people; the student and probably their leader who held a crucifix.
"Alababababahahahajajjajajaja! Thalia Hemmings, are you ready to be initiated by the best witches and warlocks in the universe?" Their leader asked as the people who surrounded them kept chanting gibberish.
"How do you know you're the best? But okay, anyway." I could tell the student had just rolled her eyes, depicting from the leader's sudden tense body.
"Do not oppose our greatness, little lamb. Louder people, come on!"
"Alahananahanagagaga!!" It was getting irritating.
"They sound like stupid cavemen," I muttered under my breath and both Kai and Harry slightly and softly chuckled.
"Can we get this over with? I have to take a crap or is that part of the so called initiation? I don't think I want to shit in my pants in front of ya'll," she said as she kneeled, holding on her stomach.
We almost burst out laughing but thankfully, Kai held our arms hard to stop us.
The leader cleared his throat. "Alalalalahahahajjnanamma!!"
Jerk.
After a few minutes they finally stopped. "And now, let us drink the blood of Lucifer to complete the initiation." He handed the drink to the girl and everyone else got their drinks. They drank it all in one go and I was beginning to feel thirsty myself.
"Wow, that was good." The new student complemented.
"A little too good, I feel like I'm in ecstasy. Aren't we all feeling like we're in heaven?"
There were slurred yesses in the air as they swayed from side to side.
"Why are they acting drunk? Is it part of it?" I asked Harry.
"No darling, that's because they're drunk and high. I put a little something in their drinks from the lab."
"What?"
"Drugs," Kai finished and I swallowed. I never had drugs in my life before and they scare me a little especially now when those who drank the wine were acting like zombies from an apocalypse in front of me.
"Get ready to partay!!" A mob barged in from the door and music suddenly blared loudly.
"What the fuck is happening!" The leader of the witches cried. He was bumped into several times that his cloak came off. "I smell dogs. Werewolves."
I was pushed out and the leader's eyes came on me as if he knew. But hey, I'm not the mastermind.
I turned to find Kai or anyone I know. I realized being alone would be dangerous, judging from the angry warlock's red eyes.
Kai, where the hell are you?
*****
"Slave, did you pee?" A hand grabbed me by the shoulder.
I turned to glare at him. "You left me, you idiot. I was lost like an innocent lamb and a bunch of your dogs were glaring at me. "
"You mean the girls. The guys are cool about you. You should try and make friends with them girls." He smirked and began to chomp on his ice cream.
"I think I'll die first..." I stared at his ice cream and literally drooled. "Kai." I gave him my big, innocent, and docile eyes. "Please."
He groaned. "Oh no, no. Not that again."
I went closer and pouted my lips. "Pretty please."
He sighed and finally gave me his half eaten ice cream. Before, I would have been grossed out because his saliva was all over it but eating his left overs almost everyday, I couldn't care less. Besides it's ice cream. Nobody should waste ice cream.
"I feel like we're in a carnival. Is it always this crazy?" I asked Kai as I watched the wolves break dance, blow huge bubbles, and play darts. They were very loud.
"Yeah." He stole a bite from my ice cream and I glared at him.
"Hey, that was mine before." He smirked as he munched on a nut.
"It's mine now." I stuck my tongue out at him.
He pinched my cheek hard and rolled his eyes. "I'll just get some more. Just stay here."
"K." I nodded, too distracted by the delicious ice cream.
I suddenly felt an intense, and evil aura behind me, making me have goosebumps all over. I slowly turned around and saw the leader of the witch group glaring straight at me.
I immediately wolfed down my ice cream and bared my fangs, ice cream and all. "What do you want?"
"Revenge." He covered me in his cloak with him and only our shining eyes could be seen. "You will embarrass yourself to the person you talk to first and regret ever ruining my initiation."
He was too powerful for me to overcome. Vampires could hypnotize too but he had probably gone to great lengths to even hypnotize us vampires.
"I will embarrass myself to the first person I talk to and regret ever ruining your initiation." What the hell! Stop it!
He smirked. "Good."
Why me? I'm not the mastermind? I didn't do anything!
"It's because the mastermind cares about you which makes it more evil." He said as if he read my mind then laughed like a friggin' witch. The second I blinked my eyes, he was gone.
"Slave, are you okay?" Kai was holding me up. I might have been asleep or probably just had a dream.
"I'm fine." I felt something suddenly hit me in the chest and hormones began flooding through my system. What is this? Why am I suddenly so horny? And why is Kai looking more delicious at the moment?
I smiled at him seductively and ran a finger on his neck. What the heck, stop!! I couldn't control myself. "How about you master? Are you okay? Or do you need something we could both enjoy tonight?" I bit my bottom lip as Kai's adam's apple bobbed. His eyes darkened as he looked down at my exposed cleavage. He shook his head immediately.
"What's wrong with you?" He almost dropped me but I caught myself up. "Are you drunk?" He then leaned to smell me. "No, you're not."
"Yes I am, I'm drunk in love!" I shouted and swayed side to side. People around began to watch me. Please stop this! I began to dance with the beat and pulled Kai closer to me.
"Drunk in love with you," I said and smiled seductively at him. Everyone around oohed and aahed. Fuck! This is so humiliating!
Kai smirked. "I know what you're doing. You have something up your sleeve, do you?" He eyes me suspiciously.
"Why don't you check?" I raised my arms for him to check my body. He looked confused so I took his hands and put it on my neck, to my arms, to my waist. No! No! No! My hands began to shake and my body trembled at his touch but most of all, I felt embarrassed because this was just not me.
"K-kai," I whispered as tears flowed from my eyes. His eyes widened as he pulled me to his chest, hugging me tightly.
'Who's doing this?' He mind linked me.
'A warlock. Please...please help me."
'Don't worry, I'll kill that fucking bastard.'
He growled aloud and the wolves looked at him solemnly. He probably ordered them in their heads as they had pranced away a minute later without verbal exchange.
"Shhh, it's okay. I got you. It's a good thing you went to me and not some other guy or girl like Erya." He softly combed my hair gently through his fingers.
I shivered and it somehow died my hormones down from kissing him. The thought of kissing Erya could kill me.
'I...I wanna kiss you. I mean my body wants to, so you better move away.' I told him through my head.
He stiffened but didn't move. 'Then let it happen. If it does, you'll have to let me drink your blood tonight.'
'Kai, I'm going to kill you. You're supposed to help me, you douche.'
He chuckled as I growled.
A bunch of footsteps came closer and my body tensed; something hard hit me in the chest once again.
"We can't find him, Kai." It was Harry and he sounded exasperated.
I looked at up Kai lovingly. "It's okay Kai. Nothing's wrong about me." I leaned in to kiss his neck and I felt him shiver, probably in disgust. I really hate myself right now.
"It's okay, I can take off the spell." The voice sounded familiar and I looked up and saw the new witch student.
She leaned towards me and I was literally pushed into her by Kai. Jeez if you're so disgusted, just say so.
She touched my heart and chanted something gibberish. After a minute, she pushed her hand on my chest and I felt it again, the evil consuming me and it. . . it was gone. It was as if I could breathe again. Out of gratitude, I jumped on the new student and hugged her tightly. She was a bit taller than me and wore Gothic clothes. Black rings swirled around her eyes and her lipstick was as red as blood.
"You're so cute." She hugged me closer. "Why are you with a wolf?"
"It's a long story." I laughed. "I'm so glad I'm done with embarrassing myself. Thank you so much!"
"It's okay, I should thank you guys for ruining the initiation; it was horrible."
"You knew?" Kai joined the conversation by asking.
"Of course." She winked. She suddenly pushed me in Kai's arms. "Take care of her or I might introduce her to my brother who actually likes her already."
I blushed. Someone likes me, her brother does. I wonder what's he like.
"Oh stop it, you're just joking." I slapped her arm playfully.
"No he really does like you. He just doesn't act on it because you're always with him. You're a couple, right?"
I began to laugh but stopped when Kai said the impossible.
"Yes, we are." Kai slung his heavy arm around my shoulders. I opened my mouth but he shut it with his hand.
"Okay, nice to meet you guys. I better go or my brother would kill me." She turned to leave while I struggled for air.
"What was that?" I asked him, putting his arm off me.
"I don't want any douche following us around and besides you're still my slave; you won't have time to go on dates, or even hang out with a guy."
I rolled my eyes. "There are three days left. What if he still thinks I'm with you when my slavery is over?"
"He will." He smirked like a devil and I felt my blood run dry. I literally imagined him growing horns at the top of his head.
"Why? I want to date too, you know. I've never dated before," I complained, feeling the unfairness of it all.
"Don't complain now, I'm in a really bad mood. I think I need to drink your blood tonight." He took my hand and pulled me to get out of the warehouse.
"No Kai, I'm really tired." I dropped his hand and crossed my arms. Why is he so demanding?
"Then we'll cuddle and sleep. I need your scent for the night or I wouldn't be able to sleep." He looked serious as he began to pull me towards the dormitory.
I felt my heart skip a beat. "Fine." I loved cuddling, especially when it was with Kai.
But of course, I'll never tell him that, I'll die before that happens.
