WITCH BLADERS
CHAPTER SIXTEEN: KEPT IN THE DARK
Thorn went to her dorm and took out her violin and began to play.
The music wanted to make you get up and dance; Thorn came into the room playing the violin Dusk and Dune began to do an impression of Riverdance, Max joined in along with Kenny.
Other bladers in the dark palace heard the joyful and lively Irish music and they too were dancing.
When morning came the witch bladers realised Luna hadn't come back; Thorn went to Dantes apartment.
May I help you? He grinned
I want to see my sister please. She snarled
I'm afraid she's not feeling well I give you my word you can come and see her tomorrow. Dantes replied
Dantes knew she saw right through him.
That's strange Wiccans don't get ill very easily care to tell me what has made her so and since I am a Wiccan and she is of my race surely I can go in and heal her? She asked curiously she could see the cogs in his head fumbling in his mind for some lame excuse.
The elves are doing what they can for her she will be well by tomorrow. He said.
Very well. She replied curtseying to him then walking away.
What are you hiding? She thought
Where is Luna? Dusk asked when Thorn returned
She isn't feeling well. Thorn replied
But that's impossible we never get ill. Dune said
We'll see what's happened to her soon enough. Thorn said
Luna can take care of herself. Tyson said encouragingly
Tell that to the elders of our race that he trapped in the lake. Thorn replied gesturing outside the window a little angrily.
Okay so he's more of a threat than we thought. Ray said
He's given his word we can see her tomorrow. Thorn said annoyed
*** Meanwhile ***
Luna was standing in front of a grand mirror wearing a black and gold dress; her once straight white hair had become silver and curly.
What have you become? Her reflection said angrily; Luna's reflection had long straight pure white hair.
Luna looked at herself a little in surprise.
How could you let him turn me into you? Luna's reflection asked disgusted
I'm Trista. She answered to her reflection sinisterly
You know very well that body belongs to me Trista. Her reflection snapped
This isn't your body anymore Luna it's mine now, you've always thought you could fight me couldn't you? Shove me away in the dark corner of your mind, well I'm here and I'm not going away. Trista snapped
The door opened and Dantes came in.
You monster what have you done to me? Luna yelled but Dantes couldn't see or hear her.
Time to take your medicine Trista. Dantes said showing her a bottle with a fluorescent pink liquid in it.
Then let me have it she answered trying to take it from him.
Dantes held it just out of reach with one hand and held her waist with the other.
How much do you love me? He asked running his hand lustfully along her back
Enough she teased snatching the bottle and drinking it.
Dantes began kissing her neck and shoulders as she drank her medicine; he kissed her lips passionately giving a little and taking a little.
It was like breathing in life and it was addictive.
She pushed him away suddenly.
How much do you love me? She asked
I adore you my love, my goddess. He replied pulling her tightly to him and kissing her lustfully.
Trista shut her eyes the touch of Dantes kisses made her shiver a little as the medicine began to kick in she felt herself transcend to place of such bliss she felt she drowning in it.
Good thing my sisters aren't here to see this nymphomaniatic junkie why did he let her free? Trista is nothing but trouble my trouble she's the darker side of me Dusk won't stand a chance against her if she battles. Luna said worriedly
*** Meanwhile ***
I can't believe it of all days to have a day off I am so bored. Tyson complained
Thorn and Kai had gone down to the various training rooms leaving Max, Kenny, Ray and himself with Dusk and Dune.
Dusk sighed then had an idea she went into her room and brought out a big pack of cards.
All right who's up for strip poker? Tyson said excitedly
Dune looked at him
I hate to disappoint you but they're tarot cards I'm afraid she said
Tarot what? Max asked
Tarot cards some say that people can tell your future by reading them. Ray explained
That's right who wants to go first? Dusk asked
Why don't we do Kai's tarot cards? Dune asked
I don't think he'll like what his future holds Max said
But since he isn't here he can't say anything. Dusk said spreading the cards along the table.
Ray pretend you're Kai pick a card from the right and a card from the left and one from the middle. Dusk asked
Ray did what she said, Dusk took the three cards and neatly put the others aside.
What does his future say? Tyson asked eagerly, Dusk showed him a card
The card on the left is his past; this is the tower he has had a troubled past filled with heartbreak and pain someone special was taken away from him someone he loved very much. She explained then turned over the card in the middle.
This is Kai's present. She said showing him a card with the word lovers on it.
The only thing Kai loves is his Dranzer I don't think that leaves much room for anyone else. Tyson said
It says here he is going to find his soul mate once more. Dusk smiled turning over the last card.
And his future She said showing them a card with the word strength on it.
But what does it mean? Max asked
Kai's strong and fearless but there is one thing he needs to learn; is that to have a future Kai must reconcile with his past so that he can live in the present. Dusk said
Dusk did each of the boys in turn finding out certain things about them.
