AN: Thank you all for reading the story, for reviewing and adding this to your favorite list. The history of the prison world is different in this story than in the show because I wrote this chapter before watching the latest episode. And if I change the story then I'll have to change a lot of other things. Hope you like it though. Thank you.
Chapter 10: The Kiss Of Love And Hate
Evelyn was in her father's library. A library that is filled with grimoires and magical objects. The place is near the local cemetery. It stays hidden so normal people can't see it like their mansion. But most of the coven meetings happen in that library. Joshua Parker doesn't usually let his children in the library but he couldn't keep Evelyn away since she was little. She would often sneak in there and read the books since she could read.
Evelyn was crazily going through the grimoires one by one for past two days. She didn't sleep much. Didn't eat properly. Didn't go home. Didn't go to school. And made sure Kai doesn't find her. It was six am in the morning. Evelyn yawned but forced her eyes to stay open. She was wake all night. She was feeling so tired and sleepy and with all her focus on her reading, Evelyn didn't hear someone entering the library.
"Evelyn" spoke up a familiar voice. Evelyn looked up as a gasp escaped her breath.
"Dad, hey what are you doing here?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question considering this is my library?" said Joshua approaching her daughter. Evelyn laughed uncomfortably.
"Yeah right. Sorry. I was just, reading. You know. Filling up my head with more brilliant ideas." Her father kept looking at her for a while then said-
"Josette told me you didn't go back home in past two days. Were you here the entire time?" Evelyn sighed out heavily and nodded her head. There's no point hiding it now. Besides, her father wasn't gonna punish her for living in his library for two days. It made him concerned though.
"Evelyn what is going on?" asked Joshua with worry in his voice.
"Nothing serious father. It's just I've been thinking, that not all witches or warlocks are good. There are some seriously wicked witches out there. They do awful things. They are evil. And powerful. Some of them are so strong that even death can't stop them. And you know a witch can always come back from the death if he or she really wants to. So, I started thinking and realized that we should build a prison for these wicked evil witches. A prison- from where they simply cannot get out."
Joshua started thinking about what Evelyn was saying. Though he didn't know why she suddenly started thinking about building a prison for evil witches. "That's actually very thoughtful Evelyn" said her father.
"Really?" asked Evelyn, surprised that her father didn't think she was talking rubbish.
"Yes. You're right about not all witches being good. And you're also right about not having so many ways to stop them." Joshua started thinking more deeply about it.
"So, is it possible to build such prison?" asked Evelyn hopefully.
"Yes, I believe it is. But Evelyn, only a very strong witch can do something like this. You're not strong enough sweetheart."
"But father if I practice enough I could-" Joshua didn't let Evelyn finish. No amount of practice is gonna make her that strong. At least until she's old enough.
"Evelyn, you can't do it" said her father with strong tone of voice. Evelyn sighed out heavily. Feeling disappointed.
"But since I like your idea, I'm gonna talk to Sheila about it. She's a Bennett witch. If anyone can pull something off like that, it's her. May be she and I could really create a prison world for evil witches and banish them there when they do something terrible."
"How long is it gonna take dad?" asked Evelyn hopefully.
"It's not gonna happen in a day Evelyn. Things like this takes time. Perhaps a month or two. It could take longer." Evelyn sighed out heavily in disappointment hearing that. It means she's gonna have to deal with Kai for another month or worse two or worst even longer. Life is so unfair. Joshua looked at his daughter carefully.
"Evelyn is everything alright?" he asked with suspicious tone of voice. Evelyn nodded her head.
"Yes dad. I was just very excited about this. Wanted to build the prison myself" lied Evelyn. She didn't care about who build the prison as long as it can trap Kai in it. For good. Joshua smiled at his daughter.
"Be patient Evelyn. One day you're going to become a powerful witch too. Then you can do many great things for the coven. Actually you already contributed to the coven by giving me this wonderful idea."
"Thanks dad" said Evelyn giving her father a weak smile. After that Joshua got serious.
"Now, I want you to go back home and take rest. And eat well. You look weak. You really need some muscles on those bones."
"Yes dad" saying that Evelyn prepared to leave. Giving her father a hug, Evelyn walked out of the library. But the idea of going back home and facing Kai again, dreaded Evelyn. Like she had a choice anymore. Life is so unfair indeed.
Evelyn was walking through the woods. There was a shortcut to get home. When she almost approached home, she saw Jackson standing near the porch of her house. Evelyn wasn't sure if he could see the house because he shouldn't be seeing it. It was invisible to normal people. Evelyn was going to go to Jackson's house later and apologize to him but she wasn't ready to meet him at the moment. Evelyn was going to hide when Jackson looked right at her. He didn't approach her though. Instead he kept walking away in another direction. Baffled, Evelyn started following him. Where the hell is he going? Evelyn thought to herself. And more importantly what was he doing at her house?
Jackson led her into the woods. In a familiar place. Evelyn started to feel something fishy is going on here. Suddenly Jackson disappeared. Evelyn looked around but couldn't find him anywhere. Then suddenly she heard a groaning sound from around. As if someone is in pain. Evelyn started looking around and finally stumbled upon a badly beaten up Jackson. He was all bloodied and severely injured. Someone tortured him viciously but made sure he stays alive.
"Oh my god, Jackson." Evelyn crouched down beside him. She was freaking out. "Who did this to you?"
"That would be me" spoke up a frightening familiar voice. Evelyn stilled for a second. She should've known this. Kai tricked her again. Evelyn turned to look. She found Kai standing there, leaning against a tree. A diet coke cane in his hand and the hand by the way was covered in blood. Evelyn realized that the Jackson she followed was actually an illusion created by Kai. But where did he get magic? She wasn't around for two days. The twins. Evelyn's mind answered her own question.
"Where the hell were you?" asked Kai approaching Evelyn like a concerned brother yet like a predator as well. Evelyn stood up to face Kai. Since there was no escaping anyway. It was better that she faced him.
"Oh I've missed you so much." Kai tried to embrace Evelyn but she moved away from him. Kai rolled his eyes.
"Come on, we're still doing this." Kai shook his head to himself. "I thought in two days you figured out we're meant to be Evelyn." And Evelyn thought Kai couldn't disgust her anymore than he already did. There was just no point arguing with him. Evelyn turned back to Jackson. She needed to take him to the hospital. Evelyn could surely carry him out of the woods using her magic. He would be floating in the air but Jackson wasn't exactly properly conscious at that moment. So it shouldn't cause any trouble.
"I guess this means you're still not in the mood of talking to me" said Kai as he realized Evelyn was preparing to leave with Jackson.
"But before you save your so called boyfriend from me, you need to see something" said Kai but Evelyn ignored him.
"Alright" Evelyn heard Kai saying. She didn't know what to expect. And before she could guess, Jackson started groaning in pain. At first Evelyn couldn't understand what was going on with him but then she noticed a cut forming on his forearm on its own. Evelyn frowned in confusion at first but then she realized what was going on. She turned around to look at Kai again. He was cutting his arm. But it was hurting Jackson as well. Realization flashed across Evelyn's face.
"Linking spell. Didn't know I'd find it so useful. Now if you hurt me, Jackass is gonna get hurt too. Because every time you're gonna hurt me, even emotionally, I'm gonna do this-" saying that Kai cut his arm again. Jackson groaned in pain again. Evelyn's eyes widened with shock. She realized she's in big trouble now. Because she couldn't fight Kai anymore and hurt him in anyway.
"Actually I can do worse to him. I can even kill him" said Kai nonchalantly. Then he started chanting and Jackson within a moment started shaking as if having a seizure attack. Evelyn panicked. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't attack Kai with her magic. That will only hurt Jackson more.
"Stop it Kai. Please stop. I'm ready to talk to you." Evelyn pleaded, surrendering to Kai. The psycho smirked at that and stopped torturing Jackson.
"Oh so predictable."
"Why do you always prefer the hard way little sis? You could've just talked to me and avoid this whole drama. But then again, you being difficult is what makes you more attractive." Evelyn closed her eyes tightly and sighed out heavily.
"What is it that you want to say Kai?" asked Evelyn trying to keep her voice calm and steady and not have it shake.
"Yes, I wanted to talk to you about us. But then I realized that there's nothing to really talk about. There's nothing I can say to you that's going to make you see things my way. So I thought, even if I can't make you understand, I can at least make you realize that you have feelings for me too. You just don't want to admit it to yourself." Evelyn could not believe she was just standing there and listening to his nonsense. But then she glanced at Jackson and realized she needed to go through this madness if she wished to save Jackson.
"And how are you planning on doing that?" asked Evelyn with sarcasm in her voice. Kai smiled at her mischievously.
"I want you to kiss me."
Evelyn felt like she just got hit by a train. Or a bolt of lightening struck her. She couldn't believe her own ears. She wouldn't be shocked if Kai tried to kiss her. Because apparently he's attracted to her. But asking her to kiss him was crossing every line of sanity.
"What?" asked Evelyn shocked to say the least.
"You heard me. I want you to kiss me."
"I would never do that" said Evelyn with strong tone of voice. Kai sighed out a little.
"As you wish little sis" saying that Kai started torturing Jackson again. He started shaking. Suddenly blood started coming out of his mouth. He would die soon. Evelyn kept looking between Kai and Jackson. Having trouble making a decision. She knew she couldn't let Jackson die. He's an innocent person. He doesn't deserve to die such a horrible death. Sucking in a deep breath, Evelyn approached Kai. She hesitated for a moment but then closed her eyes and pressed her lips against Kai's.
Kai stopped torturing Jackson immediately. The poor guy breathed out in relief and blacked out completely. Kai felt a spark but before he could experience it properly, Evelyn quickly pulled away from him. Kai didn't even get a chance to kiss her back. Evelyn was feeling completely repulsed and gross.
"Come on sis, you call that a kiss. I know you can do a lot better Eve" said Kai smirking.
"No" Evelyn said at once. Kai raised his eye brows at her. He started chanting again but before his spell could start working, Evelyn pulled Kai in and kissed him again. This time rather aggressively because Evelyn was so enraged at the moment. Kai immediately started kissing her back. He wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her closer to him. Evelyn in her mind tried to think about anything else but the truth that she was kissing her own brother. True that she was being extorted but the fact is that the forbidden kiss was happening. Evelyn felt disgust at first. She kept thinking in her mind that she was somewhere else. Doing something else. And definitely not making out with Kai.
But Evelyn couldn't keep her mind busy for long. Soon she stopped thinking about other things and started feeling the soft lips moving against hers. Kai was kissing her very gently. There was no rush in it. No forcefulness from his side. No perversion. Kai was really trying to make Evelyn feel good about the kiss. And unfortunately he was succeeding. Evelyn didn't even realize when she eased up into the kiss. When she stopped feeling repulsed and her anger subsided. When she closed her eyes. When she deepened the kiss on her own. When she tangled her fingers in Kai's hair. When she moaned into the kiss.
Evelyn didn't realize any of it. It was like her carnal instincts were guiding her and making Evelyn do things she normally wouldn't do. She only stopped when she ran out of air completely. Evelyn pulled away from the kiss slowly. She couldn't open her eyes though. She was afraid to do so. The reality was too brutal for Evelyn to face. She felt Kai's thumb gently brushing against her bottom lip. Her lips looked swollen. Kai kissed her again. A small peck on her lips actually. He just couldn't get enough of her soft delicate lips. Both of them were breathing heavily. Their heart beating at a fast speed. Evelyn still kept her eyes closed. Then suddenly Kai disappeared.
After five long minutes, Evelyn was able to open her eyes. She could not believe what just happened. Evelyn kissed Kai and actually liked it. She felt so ashamed and disgusted at herself. How could she feel like that? Evelyn was tempted to believe that Kai did something to her. Perhaps put a spell on her or something. It had to be something wicked because she couldn't possibly like kissing Kai. But Evelyn knew better. Kai didn't hex her or anything before the kiss or even during it.
Evelyn took Jackson to the hospital. She lied to the doctors about him getting into an accident. All the while, Evelyn kept thinking about what happened in the woods? Was Kai right about her having feelings for him? But how could that be? She always thought of him as her brother. She never looked at him differently, specially in a romantic way. Yes, on occasions Evelyn thought Kai was good looking, handsome, even hot but those were facts. Anyone else would agree that Kai is very good looking. She never had feelings for him in that manner. Of course she loved him. But like a sister. Then why Evelyn didn't feel completely grossed and filthy while kissing Kai. Because she definitely should have. What was going on with her? What the hell was going on with Evelyn Parker?
