CHAPTER 2

　　Elena's POV

　　My head jerked up at her response, I didn't come all the way here just to be shunned. I think it is time to finally spill the beans.

　　"Hilda stop!" I pulled my arm and halted our movement.

　　"Elena here isn't a good place for you, you have to leave now." She furrowed her brows and smashed her boot on a crawling Snakehead.

　　"Woah! I didn't see that coming." My voice came out trembling. The cold atmosphere did nothing to calm my racing heart.

　　She cocked a brow up and stared at me in amusement. "Where is Susan?"

　　A musical whistle came from behind us and muttered, "right here."

　　We turned simultaneously in a fighting stance. Susan leaned her back against the bark of an old tree, wood covering with growing lush green moss and bugs with the size of tiny pebbles crawled up to where they drilled a hole for their nest.

　　"Did Susan come with you?" Hilda's gaze shifted between Susan and me.

　　"Nope, I simply teleported. Perks of being a witch." Susan winked and walked towards us while I smiled in response.

　　Susan is my second guardian, a witch. I inherited her from father as a birthday gift at the age of thirteen. She helps with monitoring and controlling my powers because they can get too overwhelming sometimes. She swore allegiance to father when he saved her from the cold, grip hands of death. Father sired her by giving her some of his venoms and she became a half-witch and a half-vampire.

　　Susan is the total opposite of Hilda. She is cherry, nice, friendly and a whole package of sunshine and rainbows. But the only Achilles heels Susan has is sleeping with everything that has a tail in between their legs. Susan is the definition of a whore or slut in a good way.

　　"Hey sugar plum, have you finally let the mouse out of the bag?" Susan seductively licked her lollipop and nudged her head towards Hilda.

　　I scrunched my face in confusion and whispered into Susan's ears, "don't you mean letting the cat out of the bag?"

　　Susan scoffed and twirled her blonde hair around her slender porcelain finger. "Whatever! Be it cat or mouse, we still need to get the godamn animal out of the bag."

　　"Are you guys going to talk or not because I'm still here watching this tomfoolery." Hilda hissed.

　　I let out an exasperated sigh and faced Hilda. "I think it is high time you taught me how to train and protect myself."

　　Hilda's face went from furious and stiff to smile and mockery as she barked out a menacing laugh. "You are joking!"

　　"Hilda you need to cut her some slack, she isn't a baby anymore, we need to help her grow." Susan's face was becoming too white and pale from the cold.

　　Hilda gasped, feigning shock and stared at Susan with wide eyes. "Oh really?"

　　"I'm stating what is obvious and we both know that." Susan gave Hilda a staredown.

　　"We are good enough to protect her she needs no training. She should go read some physics book and train her brain instead." Hilda slammed her fist on the branch of a tree, leaving the tree to pull from the roots and collapse.

　　My heart sank immediately, what was I expecting? Hilda can be very stubborn and hardly bulges to a person's opinion.

　　The both of them began to raise their voices and attack themselves and like a premonition, I knew that wish was too good to be true, I mean who was I kidding? Hilda is a tough nut to crack and getting her approval matters alot.

　　One lesson I learned from being a Marshall is that enemies will always be around the corner, watching us as a hawk while planning our downfall so I have to be prepared to be attacked at all given cost and giving the DNA I share, I refuse to be caught impromptly.

　　Such a nice fragrance you are wearing

　　At this point I was beginning to lose it...

　　A dramatic and sluty Suzy in a hot brawl with a blunt ass and tomboyish Hilda wasn't how I planned to spend my day. The wind blew through the forest with a powerful passion, scattering old fallen leaves as if they were banging a door like a chaotic drum beat with no fingers or hands and then frustration in full dosage kicked in.

　　"Enough!" I declared and a chilly wind slammed the both of them to a rock, and the forest became quiet again. It was my magical powers, it was surfacing. My Iris went from black to blue and black again.

　　"I can't keep going to school and hiding behind my parents to practice magic." Tears welled in my eyes as I walked towards them.

　　"I will be eighteen in the next three months, my werewolf side will be activated and then what next? I need to prepare myself, Hilda."

　　Susan nodded in acknowledgement and muttered, "Her powers will be too much to handle then and it can kill her if she doesn't start learning how to control them."

　　"What?" Hilda and I gasped, shock was written all over us as we waited for some sort of clarity.

　　"That was what the ancestors said to me. She is a mature adult and should be treated as such." Susan stood up and dusted her short leather skirt that exposed her fine pair of legs.

　　"When it comes to physical combat and vampire tutoring, you are the best shot Elena has got." Susan held Hilda's hands and squeezed them.

　　"I can teach her how to use magic and hook her with some hot dudes so she can lose her virginity. I bet it feels like baggage." Susan looked at me pitifully and shrugged.

　　"You will do no such thing." Hilda threw a dagger at Susan and Susan melted the dagger by chanting some spells.

　　Hilda hopped on a rock and cracked her knuckles. "Even though I do not fully support this."

　　She jumped on an old tree and broke two strong branches. "I knew it was going to come to this one day but I have always procrastinated it."

　　She landed on another rock and began sharpening the branches till it was smooth as a stake. "You want to be on my level?" Her voice was laced with humour.

　　"Yes, thank you!" I said excitedly and threw a kiss at Susan who slapped my butt in response.

　　"Climb bitch." She winked at me and threw a stake towards me.
