Helpless

Lisa's POV

I drove to the hospital after lectures was over. I couldn't wait to see Sarah and ask her what happened to her and to find out if my perception was correct.

Maybe I was still overthinking all these. I mean,my nightmares have stopped and the ire feeling I get when touching others was gone too.

I was just so curious that I knew. I went into her Ward and met her lying on the bed with an IV on her hand. She looked pale.

I drew closer to her and got seated on the chair beside her.

"Sarah,are you okay?"

She looked at me me with surprise in her eyes and she shut them tight.

I held her fingers." Don't be scared I won't hurt you."

Are hand was cold and nervous so was the tiny tear that slipped from her eyes.

"You were.. you came.. you told me.."her words were barely making sense but I knew what she meant. I nodded.

"I should.. I should have listened to.. you. After you left.. he called and broke up with me and I had a stroke afterwards." She broke into sobs.

I patted her hand ensuring her it was okay even though my heart pummeled faster. My vision came to reality.

"You were sick before then right?"

She nodded." Heart problem. The doctor.. told me I needed to be careful.. till I get a transplant.. and now I'm stuck in this hospital unable to move my legs."she sniffed.

I wasn't good at consoling but I tried my best to. I was nervous too. The vision I saw about her was correct that could only mean I'm a ... The words itself scares me.

"I believe the doctors will do their possible best and that boyfriend deserves a punch in his groin."I tried to soften her up and it worked a little. I spent my time talking to her and she felt happy. She even confessed I was like the friend she never had.

"But tell me,how you knew it will happen."

I smiled. "God's gift."

My head kept swirling in thoughts when I left the hospital. I could barely focus on my driving. I kept thinking about Sarah and wat she must be going through having a heart problem and a stroke at the same time.

Gosh!I wish I could help her. I definitely wasn't a witch. How could I be?

Mom wasn't and I never saw strange items back home. Maybe it's God's gift. I'm sure of it.

My phone ringing tone filled my ears and I picked it up. Mom.

"Mom"

"Hey sweetie, you back from school?"

"Yes"

"I'm sure you are driving. Where are you off to?"

I inhaled."home mom."

"I want to see you here by tomorrow young lady."

"Fine I will. I need to see you anyway."

"Is everything ok?"she sounded worried.

"Fine mom. I've got to go"I said and ended the call.

I sighed then my car came to a stop.

"No-no,no-no,this can't be happening not right now."

I panicked. I was on the highway with less cars in sight and my car just died on me. I came out of the car and checked the engine. My battery was dead.

I kicked the wheels in frustration.

I flagged down any vehicle I could see in sight but none stopped. I leaned on my car and texted Ann to come pick me up I was stuck on the highway.

"Looks like the damsel needs a knight in shining armor."

The familiar voice said and I smiled looking into the beautiful eyes on Damien in his red Porsche.

Damien's POV

I had needed a ride to feel the evening breeze and have a look around. So I found myself in my car and on the highway.

That's when I saw her leaning on her car looking so casual in her all no nonsense style look of boots,jeans and plain shirt.

"Looks like the damsel needs

a knight in shining armor." I said grinning. She looked up and smiled.

"It feels like you're having my back Damien."she said.

"Let's just say I happen to be in the right place at the right time."I smiled and opened the door from the inside. She walked in and closed the door.

"I'll tell someone to deliver your car to you tomorrow."I said as I continued driving.

She nodded." Thank you."

I waved it aside."no mention." I said and noticed she was texting"who are you texting?"

"My friend. I'm telling her not to pick me up again."

"Oh ok." I said and the air became tensed again.

"So what where you doing here?"I asked.

"I went to see a friend at the hospital that's when my car broke down."

"Sorry about that."

She smiled again.

"I must admit that smile is a killer. I wanna see it again."

She looked at me surprised and blushed.

"I know you probably heard I'm stone hearted.."

"Demon actually"she finally spoke.

I laughed."yeah the old story. Everyone got his rumors."

She grinned."trust me you are not the only one."

"Yeah.. Heard yours Lisa. The witch thing."

She looked out the window and sighed. "Yeah.. I'll  never get use to it."

I placed my hand on hers on her thigh." It's fine okay." I could feel tingling sensation up my arm as she looked at me. This look in her eyes of fear and shock.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

She just stared at me and my fingers. I pulled away.

"What's the ring for?"she asked.

I stared at my daylight ring and clenched the wheel.

I couldn't answer her.

"Your father right?"

I stared at her in awe." Who told you that?"

"No one.. I just.. I.. nevermind. I guessed."

I knew she wasn't telling the whole truth. I wanted to question her more but we got to her place.

I parked the car and she was out before I could open up for her.

Lisa's POV

When our fingers touched. I saw him dead. He was like a living corpse. I saw a ring,this same ring on his fingers twirling in the shadows. I saw black magic and blood and the ring passed down to him.

I shivered. I thought all these was over.

"Thanks for the ride."I said as he accompanied me to the front door. He smiled. "It was not a big deal." He tucked my hair behind my ears and I closed my eyes briefly at the touch.

"I hope you are fine?" He asked with concern all over his face.

I nodded.

He held my face and muttered.

"I so hell wanna kiss you right now."

I stared at him. My stomach clenched and a boldness from nowhere came out.

"What's stopping you?"

That was the go ahead he needed and he locked me in a warm kiss.

He pulled from my lips and smiled." I should be going. I'll come by tomorrow."his voice hoarse as his thumb caressed my lower lip.

I was so damn attracted to him. I turn jelly whenever I was with him.

I nodded unable to speak and he pulled away and walked on without a sideways glance.

Yep,I could feel the chemistry already. Something in my head tells me I'm in for a long ride.

I walked into the house and found Ann asleep on the couch. I smiled and covered her. She grinned.

"So the hottie brought you home."

"Oh my gosh you weren't sleeping." I said surprised at the little scheme my friend was playing.

She sat straight." Saw you drive in with him and I didn't want to ruin the moment."she said grinning. "You two having a thing a now?"she asked.

I sat and shook my head." No Ann."

She raised a brow."And you kissed him."

"You little devil you watched me."

"You might not tell me later."

"He kissed me Ann not the other way around."I said giggling.

"I told you you were an angel and now a demon wants you."Ann said teasingly.

"He's not a demon. I mean I was accused of witchcraft and I'm not one. He definitely isn't."

"It could have been cute if he was,"she sighed."the angel weds the demon."

"Cut it out Ann."I said blushing stupidly.

"Just don't play it dumb when he comes around."

"Whatever."I said going into the room.

I felt my lips when I got to the room. My pulse raced.

He had me wrapped around his finger and I was helpless about it.
