Angel: I can't contain myself. I really can't. I'll upload this for the sake of uploading as it was already finished. This is a spoiler-free first chapter of the sequel…
WITCHES AND WIZARDS: Takes "2" to Tango!
To make this spoiler free, I had Mika, Christine, and all the others of the previous story gone… but just for a chapter. I am not updating this till Witches and Wizards is complete of course. It should be done within a week or two at MAX. Brooke and I are spending quality time on it to make sure it is top notch and finishes correctly before releasing the updates.
Instead, you will see two main characters that I hinted at. You can add an OC if you feel like it. I am not giving you an OC submission form. I did too many of them so just do it by memory.
I am not going to summarize the story any longer than it needs to be, so just read and then you'll figure out what it is about! Enjoy!
Angel presents…
WaW: Takes "2" to Tango!
Chapter 1: Love is in the air…

3:30 PM
In the house of the Capp Family, two adults were arguing each other. One was a man named Ambrose Monty and the other is Mr. Capp. It appears that Ambrose has come over to pick a fight with the Capp Family as both families have been feuding for years. The bad blood between them is because of the distrust and ongoing hatred between that of Wizards (Ambrose) and that of Witches. (Mr. Capp) Both are the rulers of their respective magic group.
"Your abomination generals have stepped forth in my land… What business do you have to be sending them? Do you wish to declare war?" Ambrose held up a fish at him, almost growling in anger. Mr. Capp seemed unfazed and just looked at him with a smug face.
"I sent no generals to your land that reeks of the devil himself…" Mr. Capp grabbed a hold of the hilt of the sword in his belt. "Are you spouting out accusations just for the sake of coming here and spying on us?" He unsheathed his sword and pointed it at him. "Because if you are… that is unforgivable and shall be settled in a fight…"
The Wizard King grumbled. Without a word, he unsheathed his own sword and clashed it with Mr. Capp's. "I tell no lies… I have seen those generals…" He gritted his teeth, staring into the eyes of his lifelong nemesis. The Witch King scoffed in response, having enough with this old fool.
"Enough. I am tired of hearing your voice… Have at thee!"
The two men were about to engage in a heavy sword fight, but a soft womanly voice yelled out to them.
"Stop at once, father!" A beautiful blonde woman with hazel eyes and in a blue Victorian dress was at the top of the stairs, staring at the both of them. "It is not appropriate to fight the King from the other land in our fair house." She said to him as she came down the stairs gracefully.
The two men reluctantly sheathed their swords. Mr. Capp turned towards his beautiful daughter with a raised eyebrow. "My daughter, Juliette. Why aren't you in your room preparing for tonight? It is the night you will meet your new husband."
Juliette waved her father off. "Dear father, I am much too young to be wedded… I have no such desire to marry a man." She looked at her father and then back at Ambrose. She made a hand motion that signaled for him to be on his way. "Be gone, King from the other land. I have much to discuss with my father."
Ambrose sighed and nodded. He gave Mr. Capp a quick glare before turning around to make his way towards the door. "We are not finished, devil." The Witch King huffed in annoyance as the Wizard King left his house. "I'll send you to your demise another time, foul beast!"
"Father…" Juliette chastised him. Mr. Capp looked back at his daughter, seeming quite annoyed of her actions. "What, pray tell, must you have to come and speak to me at this time?" He asked as he snapped his fingers, calling forth one of his servants.
The servant made his way over to him with a tray in his hand. "You called, master?"
"The foolish fool, Ambrose, had come hither to say I sent my trusty generals over to his land. I must ask… have they ventured forth or not?" Mr. Capp asked, waiting impatiently for his servant's response. The servant thought for a moment before giving his master a truthful answer.
"Master, I have not seen any of our generals moved from their spot today. The Wizard King be telling nasty lies…" Mr. Capp nodded, satisfied with that answer. Ambrose has no weight to his claims and should pay the price of coming into his home with that outlandish claim.
"Very well… I'll think about a punishment for him come tomorrow." Mr. Capp ignored the little glares from his daughter. "Now, what of the preparations of the dance tonight?" Tonight is the big dance and celebration of his daughter's 16th birthday. It is the night where she will meet a man that is fitted for her to marry, whether she likes it or not.
"Almost ready. The cooks are almost done with the food that will be served to the guests and the musicians are on their way…"
"Good. You are dismissed…" Mr. Capp shooed him off and then turned back to his daughter. Juliette cleared her throat, finally being able to speak her mind now that that business is taken care of.
"What I was about to say… before you called the servant over here…" Juliette sees the bored expression on her father's face. She sighed and decided to get straight to the point. "I have come to ask… Why do we have such a grudge against the other land? Is this family so quick to judge against a magic race that is like us?"
"WE ARE NOTHING LIKE THEM!" Mr. Capp roared. Juliette flinched a bit, but remained strong. "Father, I know of the discrimination between both magic races since the day I walked." She wanted to know. She needed to know the answer that will come out of her father's lips as soon as she speaks her next question.
"Why are we so quick to judge against that of Wizards? Not all of them are evil. We both are the same as we have magic, no? It just doesn't seem right, father…"
"Wizards are nothing but arrogant fools, especially if run by that spawn of the devil, Ambrose. We are different from them. End of discussion!" He had enough of this conversation. "Now daughter of mine, get up to your room and prepare for the night!" He yelled at her, pointing at the stairs.
"But father…" Juliette started, but noticed the intense glare he gave her. She sighed and nodded in defeat. She grabbed a hold of her dress and made her way up the stairs to her room. Mr. Capp rubbed his nose, annoyed at what had just transpired.
"No daughter of mine questions why we Witches fight against Wizards for centuries… It should be common sense at this point…" He shook his head as went into his chambers, needing to rest his head a bit. "It is going to be a long night…"
~Line Break~
Juliette Capp sat on her bed, arms crossed over chest. She huffed, angry at her father. Her cousin was in the room with her, putting on make-up while looking in the mirror. Her cousin was a blonde like her but with tan skin and blue eyes than that of pale skin and hazel eyes.
"Why, Juliette, art thou mad?" Her cousin asked as she placed on eyeliner so she can look pretty for any of the men that will come to the dance they have arranged for tonight. Juliette looked in her direction for a second before staring back at the wall.
"Nothing for you to be concerned about, Bly." Juliette responded. "Just had my usual squabbles with my father…"
"Of?" Bly finished putting on eyeliner and turned to face her. Juliette shifted herself so she can lay her full body on the bed. The young blonde made herself comfortable before giving her a response.
"Nothing of importance…" Bly shrugged and turned herself to face the mirror once again, reaching for make-up. "So… ready for a handsome man to sweep you off your feet?"
Juliette scoffed at that and turned onto her side, facing the window. "I have no desires to be with a man." She really didn't want to be married so soon. Why must her parents want her to be wedded and give them grandchildren so fast? What is the rush?
"But it is expected of you, dear cousin…" Bly paused for a moment. "You're not telling me you are an oyster fan…"
If Juliette was drinking, she most definitely would have done a spit-take. She shot up from the bed and gave Bly a flabbergasted look. "Cousin! I don't go that way! I mean I respect women that like oysters or men that prefer bananas, but I am not one of them. I just wish to be single for a little while longer…"
"Fair Juliette, you are 16. The coming of age to be married… You had plenty of time to be single…" Bly reminded her. The younger blonde sighed and shook her head, laying herself back down on her soft bed.
"Yes, I know. I just don't want to be married yet. However, it appears I have no way out of this dance tonight. My father will have my head if I don't accept."
"I am sure he will do no such thing… you are his only daughter after all…"
A knock came at the door, startling the two women. Juliette looked at the door, wondering if it is the maid. "Come in…"
Sure enough, a brunette woman in a maid outfit came in with a sparkling blue dress in her hands. It appears that her mother have sent that to her for her to wear to the dance tonight. "Lady Juliette, your mother brought you this…" The maid handed her the dress. Juliette looked at it with questioning eyes, wondering why she must wear this.
"Oy, this dress will surely make me look like a whore. What is wrong with the dress I am currently wearing?" The dress DOES have some cuts where it will show plenty of cleavage. The maid simply shrugged and pulled out a fiery red mask for her to wear.
"She simply wants you to wear that one as men will find you more attractive in it. That is how a man's mind works I suppose…" The maid responded, giving her the mask as well. "I agree, your dress is good enough, but your mother speaks otherwise… I shall be taking my leave now…"
The maid shut the door behind her. Juliette placed the dress and mask gently on the bed and then walked over to the window, staring out at the still sunny sky. "I wish to be back in my childhood now… this is simply too much…"
Bly walked over to her and stood by her, looking out the window as well. "You only live once my dear. Just find a man and get married to him. Your mother and father won't ask of anything more… well except grandchildren." She drawled and Juliette smacked herself in the face, groaning.
"Lord, have mercy…" Juliette sighed.
~Line Break~
A dark spiky haired man stared out his window, giving out a long drawn out sigh. He was quite a handsome man with charming dark blue eyes. He was in a black suit with a rose in it. In the room with him was a cousin of his.
"Romayo, art thou in sorrow?" His cousin asked. She was a pink haired woman in a green gown. They both appeared to be dressed up for something big tonight it seems. The handsome man shook his head, continuing out to stare out the window.
"Nay, my naïve cousin, Nikki." He placed both hands under his chin. "My heart is empty… I wish to have someone to love." The pink haired woman rolled her eyes as if she heard that many times before. Some things never change it seems.
"You wish that, but I have yet to see you search for one…" She pointed out as she looked at herself in the mirror. "Love doesn't just come knocking at the door to your heart… one must find it…"
Romayo grunted and turned around. "Aye, and that is what I will do when I find a rightful maiden for me at the dance!" Nikki smiled. She headed over to him and adjusted his suit for him so he looks perfect for tonight. "I am sure there will be one that will capture your heart at a moment's glance…" She promised as she kissed her cousin on the cheek.
A soldier barged into the room, startling the both of them. "Romayo, sir… our commanding officer has fallen! Come quickly to the field! Some say it was the fault of the other land!" The soldier to seemed to be out of breath and sad. Can't blame him since his commanding officer was good at his job and nice to others when it comes down to it.
"Casualties before my trip to the dance? Surely the Lord above likes to torment me…" He pouted. He ordered for his cousin to stay put while he goes out to deal with this. He and the soldier headed out of his room and proceeded to head to the field where the supposed dead officer is. He hoped it wouldn't take long as the dance starts very soon.
