Bad Blood, Rashel Jordan [best novels of all time .TXT] 📗

got a glow to it.Purple."she stuttered.
"It's supposed to do that after you do magic to let you know it went the way it was supposed to."I laughed.
"Oh."Raven sighed.
"Okay.I think we can skip the "vampire,witch" part.So now,Nathan is a hunter."I said,looking to Raven.
"What we need to find out is what kind of Hunter he is,because if he tries to kill me or you,if he finds out,I swear on Maya,I will make his short life a living Hell."it was true.Vampires were always protective of their family and property.
"Okay,so you have to act like you don't know he's a Hunter.Just act normal.And I'll get the information."I said.Raven nodded,picked up her book,and we headed for the door.This time,I winked at Elijah.
Actually,it didn't take all day like Raven expected.Just a couple of hours.By the time we finished bonding(like all cousins should),we knew school was over.We decided that I should talk to Nathan because he was most likely not to tell Raven anything.I was waiting by his car when he walked out of the school.He looked relieved and then shocked.He ran over to me.
"Hey,I thought I scared you last night and you didn't want to talk to me."he said gently.
Here goes nothing,I thought.
"No,you didn't scare me.Just shocked me really.Actually,I came to ask you some questions."I said looking down.
"Okay,what?"he said.
"Can we talk in your car?"I asked quietly.He nodded and we got in his car.
"So is it true?Vampires,witches,werewolves and stuff are really real?"I asked.Playing dumb was my strategy.I knew more than any Hunter,but still,I had to act the part.
"Yeah,they're real."he sighed.
"That's what gets me.Real vampires."I faked a shiver.I made sure that I put my hand in my hair so he could see my ring.His eyes started to get hazy.
"I know,me too."
"So why are you a Hunter?"I asked innocently.
"Oh,it's in my blood."he said,clearing his throat.I moved my hand to rub my throat,his eyes followed.
"Are there different kinds of Hunters?"it wasn't a probing question.
"Yeah,Witch Hunters,Werewolf Hunters,Vampire Hunters,Shape shifter Hunters."he said absently.My other hand had been moving slowly toward my phone in my pocket.
"So,which one are you?"I pushed on softly.
"Vampire and Witch Hunter."he whispered.Once I reached it,I pushed the volume button and my ringtone went off.
"Oh!Hold on a sec."I said grabbing my phone.I answered my fake phone call.
"Hello?Hey mom,what's wrong?Oh,no!Okay,I'm on my way!"I ended the fake call.It's a good thing humans don't have super hearing like us supernatural beings.
"What's wrong,Corrie?"Nathan finally broke the spell I put on him with my ring.I pretended to look sad and concerned.
"Violet just fainted,and my mom said that she feels like she has a fever!"I said.
"Listen,I have to go,but can we finish this tomorrow?"I asked.He nodded.I jumped out of his car and ran home.Once I was in the safety of my room,I called Raven.
"Hey,cousin.Did you find out anything?"Raven asked.
"Listen,I asked him which Hunter he was and he hunts vampires and witches."I said rapidly.
"Slow down!He hunts both?Did you ask him why?"Rave said.
"Yeah,and he said it was in his blood!Goddess,how can I act normal when he's out there hunting my flesh and blood,my family!"I growled.And I mean an actual animal growl.
"About that,you have vamp blood in you since we're related and I have witch blood in me."Raven explained.So that's why I just growled.
"So,what now?We can't ignore him."I sighed.
"That's true,I mean,we have two classes with him,and we have lunch with him."Raven whispered.I thought for a moment.
"We can sit far away from him in classes,avoid him in the hallway,and sit outside for lunch?"I suggested.
"Yes!You're brilliant!"Raven shouted.
"Okay,we have a plan.For now."I said bye and hung up.I took my jewelry off and went into my secret workshop.There,I planned to make a necklace that nobody could resist.I carved shapes out of my old blue carving wax.Next,I made a gold chain.I could literally drench this necklace in sorcery.I cast the hearts and butterflies in silver,and the swirls and spirals in gold.I put them on the chain.You want to know what I did?As I said before,I could literally drench it in magic,so that's what I did.I put a love spell on it.I put garnets,rose quartz,and tourmaline on the chain in between the shapes.Right in the middle of the necklace I put an asteria stone in the shape of the letter C.I let it sit in the moonlight all night.

Wednesday:

 

This morning,I put on all black.I rushed out of the house to get to school.Once again,Raven was waiting for me.
"Why are you wearing a hoodie?"she asked.
"I have to test it out before I can tell you."I said.
"Test what out!"Raven shouted as I moved toward Toby,some boy from algebra.
"Hey,Toby."I said honeying my voice.
"Oh,hi,Corrie."Toby stuttered.I unzipped my jacket to display what was around my neck.Toby's eyes suddenly went glassy,as if in a trance.I smirked.
"Toby,go to the office and say on the announcements that you love the math teacher."I commanded,my voice no longer honeyed,but ringing with authority.
"Yes,Master."he said in an unemotional voice.He walked away.
"Wow.What is that thing for?"Raven said coming up behind me.
"Nathan.When we kidnap him after school."I said.
"We are?Yes!That's freaking awesome!"Raven said.I laughed.Coming down the hallway,was Nathan.
"Red alert.Hide!"I hissed to her.We hid right before he walked over to my locker.He punched my locker.I could see muscles flex.
"Jeesh.Do you think even you could handle that?"I whispered as we crept away,silent as shadows.
"No.We may need back up.Manly back up.How about Elijah?He would do anything for you,plus he's looking forward to seeing you again."Raven wiggled her eye brows.
"Sure."I said back to her.Truth be told,I wanted to see him again,too.
"Bye."I whispered to her as I walked into class.She waved.
Raven and I managed to avoid Nathan all day.During lunch,we skipped the food and went straight outside.We sat down on a patch of grass,basking in the autumn sun.
"So,are we going to do it today?"Raven asked quietly.
"If not today,when?Honestly,I would be scared to do it tomorrow because he would wonder why we were avoiding him."I sighed.
"Do you want me to call Elijah,now?"Raven asked.
"Yeah.We need to have everything ready."I said shortly.
"Here,you do it.He won't do it unless you ask him."Raven hinted.She handed me her phone.It was ringing when I put it next to my ear.
I swore in french.
"He didn't answer?"Raven said.I shook my head.I bit my lip.
"There is another way we could try to reach him."I said,half wanting to be ignored.
"What?"Raven said with interest.
"We could Call him."I answered.
"Didn't we just do that?"Raven said,puzzled.
"No,I mean the witch way.You know,like the way I summoned my book,we can summon Elijah."I said.
"Oh.Okay."she answered.
"Come on."I dragged her inside(without Nathan seeing us) and towards the art room.It was always empty at lunch time.The room was very dim,which was good for concentration.We pulled up two chairs about 1 foot across from each other.Next,I started humming about fire.When I opened my eyes,there was a small fire in the center of my hands,just like I knew there would be.Elijah was standing in front of me.
"Unity."I said.He looked at me stunned.
"Unity."he answered.
"Um...hey?"Raven waved behind him.He turned around and said hi.
"Why did you Call me?"Elijah asked.
"Because you wouldn't answer your phone."Raven muttered.
"Because we need to ask you for a favor."I cast a look at Raven.She shrugged.
"What do you need?"he said,staring intently at me.
"What are you doing at 2:30,today?"I said.
"Nothing.Why?"
"I need you to kidnap someone for me."I said quickly.
"What!?You can't just go around asking people to kidnap someone for you!"Elijah yelled.
"Well,it's not like we're kidnapping him for no reason.He's a Witch/Vampire Hunter.Plus he's my ex-boyfriend and Raven and I need to ask him some questions.Please!"I looked at him with big,sad gray eyes.I saw how inside,he was trying to fight the temptation to say yes.It was no use.I get what I want.Always.I saw him give in.
"Fine.Where is this going to happen?"he sighed.
"Next to my car.When Corriander is hypnotizing him,you come up behind him and knock him out,put him in my car,and we'll handle the rest."Raven said.I nodded.He looked stuck on something.
"Wait...hypnotizing?How do you plan to do that,Corrie?"Elijah asked challengingly.I pulled down my zipper slowly.Of course his eyes looked down.I could see in his eyes that he was trying hard not to drop down on one knee and kiss my feet and he was trying to fight my magic.Just as his knees gave out,I pulled my zipper up quickly.
"If it does that to you,imagine what it could to him."I said.Elijah stood up and wiped his eyes.He looked at me in something between wonder and awe.
"What did you do?Steal that from the Goddess Aphrodite or something?"Elijah said.
"Why,thank you.It is a little goddess like.But,no,I didn't steal it.I made it."I blushed lightly at his complement.Raven was laughing.
"You should have seen yourself,Eli.Your knees were shaking,you were twitching.It was hilarious!"Raven said.I giggled.
"So will you?"I said,making my voice liquid.Boys couldn't resist it when I did that.
"Yes."he said.I waved to him goodbye.With the fire in my other hand,I blew it out and Elijah dissipated.The bell rang.I wrote a note and put it in Nathan's locker.
The rest of the day went by quickly as if Mother Nature herself knew what I was doing.Finally,the last bell rang.I waited at Raven's car.Nathan showed up a couple minutes later.
"Hey,have you been avoiding me all day?"he asked.I shook my head.I looked around as if I was shy.When I looked over Nathan's shoulder,I saw Elijah.
"Listen,I'm sorry.I was just trying to take everything in,you know."I said,playing with my zipper.Then,as if it was the most natural thing in the world,I pulled it down.He stared at it and his eye balls went all glassy.
"Don't turn around."I commanded,no longer playing the clueless girl.
"Yes,Master."he answered.Elijah knocked him out.I pulled up my zipper.After Elijah put him in the car,he stared at me.
"What?"I asked.
"Nothing.You said he was your ex-boyfriend,right?"he asked.I nodded.
"Okay.I was wondering if you wanted to go out some time?"he asked.I thought for a moment.
"How about you go to the school dance with me on Friday?"I said.He nodded,eagerly,but tried to hide it.At that moment,Raven came over.
"Are we all set?"Raven asked.Elijah and I nodded at the same time.
"Okay.let's roll.Hey,did you get the rope?"Raven asked.
"Goddess,I forgot!"I said.
"I can come,if you think he'll be a problem."Elijah suggested.
"Okay,sure."I said.We all got in Raven's truck.
"Where are we going,Corrie?"Elijah asked.
"Yeah,where are we going?"Raven added.
"You'll see."I muttered as I turned the corner.I pulled over.We were at the place where my Samhain Circle was.Everyone got out.Elijah had Nathan over his shoulder.I knocked twice on the door.This time it was Alaric who answered the door.
"Hey,are you the only one here?"I asked.
"Hey,Corrie.Yeah,I'm the only one here.There is something for you downstairs."Alaric said.
"Okay,listen.I need to borrow this place for a couple hours.Can you stand outside and keep watch?"I asked sweetly.He blinked twice then let us in.Once he had closed the door and was outside,I put a lock spell on the door.Raven looked at me quizzically.I winked and she nodded.I led them downstairs and put a chair in the middle of the room.Elijah set Nathan down in it.
We all paced waiting for Nathan to wake up.Once he did,he looked around him and then his gaze came upon us.
"Why you little-!"he jumped up and tried to attack me,but Elijah stepped in.I heard him mumble something and as soon as Nathan was about to hit me,it was like he hit a force field.Nathan ended up landing on his butt.I heard Raven snicker.
"Why didn't you tell me you were a vampire?!"he yelled at me.I turned my head as I smiled.I heard Elijah chuckle.
"Who are you?"Nathan sneered.
"An acquaintance."Raven said.
"Answer my question,Corrie.Why didn't you tell me?"Nathan said sitting back in the chair.
"Tell you what?"I asked innocently.
"That you're a vampire!"at that,Raven and Elijah burst out laughing.I giggled.
"Because I'm not.I'm a witch with vampire blood running through my veins.The
