Matius

When I arrived at the bar about 30 minutes later. I headed for the door. Were a guy about 10 times as big as I was stopped me. "Were do you think your going young lady?" he asked

"I have I.D." I pulled out my wallet and began to dig for my Fake I.D. that would allow me to get inside.

"Alright" he stepped to the side and allowed me to walk inside I was grateful that I had my fake ID, which I didn't normally carry.

I walked inside to find a large crowed room with cigarette smoke drifting about the place. Looking around for the strange guy I had seen. It took me a bit before I finely did see him. I headed toward the small table were he sat with a girl with long blond hair. I still was not really sure what I was going to do when I reached him. Thought it kept seeming that it wasn't so much as darkmagic that drew me to him as much as some unknown force, which seemed unexplainable.

After what seemed like years to walk across the room I found my self-looking into deep set blue eyes that just seemed to draw you in like the ocean...though it seemed then were about ten times bluer. I stood there for a moment just lost in his deep blue eyes tell I remembered why I was here.

"Well sally if it isn't the girl who I was just telling you about." He said in a very deep British accent. Not taking his eyes off of mine.

"What?" I asked still a little lost in his eyes.

"I was just telling my cousin her about you and that house in which you just left." He said sounding very, very British.

"Oh right um...I know you don't know me but can I talk to you for a moment?" I asked still a little thrown by his looks and deep voice.

"Go ahead and talk." He said

"I meant alone thank you very much." I said getting even more out of my daze.

"Sure." With that he stood sinning to his cousin that he would only be a moment and then the two of us headed toward the door in silence.

Once out side I turned on him knowing now exactly what I was going to do. Only I didn't get a chance to because he asked me first.

"What's your name?" he asked just like that out of the blue...well I guess not so much out of the blue...because he didn't know who I was.

"I'm not telling you tell you tell me" I said, this was always my response to people who asked me mine name I didn't know what it was that always made me do this, but there was just something about telling people my name that bugged me.

"James Matius Duluth, I'm 19 if you have to know and I'm from a little town off of London." When he said this though I realized that I was deeply drawn to him...physically that is...which was weird because this guy was suspected of darkmagic. "Now you"

"Alright if you must know...my name is Galenquesseiel Hartford...now why don't you tell me why you were at Jones and under a invisibility spell." At this point I was pretty much pissed at the guy...even though I could feel the warmth coming off him in a burst of energy I was also aware of the very low tingle that was going out threw my body as I stood so close to him.

"Wait...you could see me?" he asked which was I thought really stupid since I know who he was.

"No I just guessed you were there and just so happened to come down here knowing you were here and was in Jones...yet I couldn't see you one bit." I said very sarcastically.

"Oh...I guess that was a stupid question...anyway I was looking for something?" he said pushing away his stupidity.

"What miss place your black candles?" I asked sarcastic once again.

"Very funny...no I was looking for a young man...who you actually were with." He said the first person that came to my head was Jones but then of course he wouldn't be looking for Jones in such a place and so then I went to Josh, who of course I had gone with.

"You were looking for Josh? Why?" I asked

"Well, that's good at least you don't know...the magic you felt tonight...I believe that was because of him...or his mom I don't know which one it was yet...but one of the two either way."

"What you think that Josh did that spell...you got to be kidding me that magic was by far to strong...and trust me when I say he's not that strong." I said still not believing my ears.

"That I know but his mom sure that hell is...pardon my French." I rolled my eyes at this also

"Either way I still don't think they had anything to do with it...which reminds me I'm doing this for my friend why are you...and don't tell me because of Jones because you wouldn't have been under a spell." I said suddenly not carrying about him being at the house...in fact I was starting to like him as a person.

"I'm one of the new councils darkmagic seekers." My mouth dropped. I had met the man who had put together the new counsel a couple of times because Aska's mom was best Friends with the guys wife...who just so happened to be Morgan and Hunter Niall. Morgan of course was one of the strongest witches on earth...and Hunter was more then world know because of the Bubble spell, which he and his dad had written, and the Dark wave spell, which his father had written.

"Oh" I finely uttered

"Yep...so do you believe me now that I'm on your side?" he asked

"I have for a bit now it's just more firm." I gave him a weak smile.

"Listen...I'm kind of busy right now why don't I give you my number and we can do something tomorrow and talk about this some more?" I shrugged clearly the guy wasn't evil what harm would it do to go out with him...plus he might be able to help me with some of the stuff around her.

"Except let me give you my cell that will be easer." After I had given my number I was more then happy to go home and sleep. With a wave goodbye I headed toward my car and James back inside.

Trouble

When I got home about 15 minutes later I found Kim sitting in the living room waiting for someone...and more then not it was me. I rolled my eyes as she asked me were I was.

"I was hanging out with some of my friends." I said trying to tell as much of the truth as I could. Without getting in to much trouble.

"Were?" She asked not letting up on the anger.

"At one of there's house...I'm sorry I didn't call but I figured I t would be ok because it's not a school night or anything."

"Of coarse it's ok...just next time try and call so I'm not up all night worrying about you...plus in my house you'll have a curfew...midnight...no later...understand?" she asked her anger slipping.

"Alright I'm sorry." I turned and headed up stairs when I got to my room I flopped down on my bed not even worrying about changing...I looked at the clock it was barley 1 A.M. I rolled over and was asleep before you could say godess.

Clothes

I woke up the next morning to the to the wonderful sound of my cell phone ring...only it wasn't really all that wonderful considering the fact that I woke me up at...6 AM...might I just add I am no were near a morning person in fact I hate morning so much I would rather sleep during the day and be awake at night. I rolled and grabbed my phone flipping it open I said "You sure as hell better have a good reason for calling me this early." I said not really caring that it was James...on of the cutes guys I had ever met in my life.

"Sorry I didn't realized it was really all that late." He said in his deep British accent I don't know what it was...but It seemed like the second I heard his voice my anger was gone and I could really care less that I was woken up...in fact I even felt bad for the guy I mean how was he suppose to know I was sleeping?

"Sorry I'm kind of bitchy in the morning." I said

"It's fine...I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up...and I guess it is pretty early." He said sounding truly sorry.

"no really that's no reason for me to be a total bitch"

"you weren't being a bitch" I smiled this guy didn't even know me and he was already defending me.

"anyways what did you need?"

"oh right...um I was wondering if we could get together and do that hole...um...talk about this house...thing." He said for some reason it seemed as though he was...well embarrassed about something.

"Sure...do you want to meat me some were?" I asked

"Oh that would be brilliant." I smiled at his accent.

"Great were?"

"Um...well there's the little coffee shop."

"Um...that would be great except I sort of just moved here I and I have no idea were that is...or what for that matter...well besides a coffee shop."

"Why don't I give you instructions...to them...or maybe you could just tell me were you live and I can pick you up...which ever is better?"

"Why don't you just pick me up it will most likely save us some manger issues with me getting lost and all that glory to the gods stuff."

"Sounds good" I then spent the next five minutes telling him my address and all that stuff "alright I'll see you in a bit."

"Bye-bye" click I rolled out of bed and began to get ready for the day.

James was there just like he said he would my cousin wasn't to impressed that I could make friends so fast...I just rolled my eyes and ran out side so he wouldn't have to deal with her. When I got in to his car he looked so shock that I couldn't help laughing.

"What? Is so funny?" James asked once I had calmed down enough to talk.

"Sorry your face just looked so funny that I couldn't help it...so...what's up with the shock?" I asked

"Oh...I just guess it's been a while since I've seen a girl...dressed...so...I don't know...slutty"

"Gee thanks?" I looked down at my self and realized what he was talking about...when I had gotten dressed I had just threw on the first thing that I grabbed. I was in fact wearing the shortest pair of shorts I owned and that was saying a lot because most of my shorts are short...this pair was so short that I think the length from my thumb to pinky was wider then the length of my shorts... also I was wearing a shirt that came up to the point were my ribcages meat and was low enough you cold see pretty much everything...that I had...this of course was because I don't really ever were a bra. "Um...do you happen to have a pull over?" I asked suddenly embarrassed...I don't normally worry about things like this because I don't really care if the world sees the body that I have but for some reason...I felt...I don't know...exposed.

"Yah...here." he reached into the back and threw me a large black pull over that said London across the bust. I pulled it on suddenly feeling much much better.

"Thanks...sorry about the hole clothes thing...I was just you know tired this morning." I smiled at James who nodded his understanding. We had arrived at the coffee shop by now and so the two of us headed inside.

A Day with Mat

James ordered a large pot of tea and then to two of us headed for one of the tables near the back. "So James...what you got for me?" I asked jumping right into our purpose of being here.

"First off I would like it much better if you just called me Mat...I don't really like James that much and second of all how do I know that you are on my side..." I rolled my eyes at this

"Wasn't it me who hunted you down and plus...I also was the one how lifted all those spells thank you very much and plus didn't we already go over all this?" I asked starting to get mad.

"I was joking...um...well I was sent here by the council to check out Josh and his mom...I've been here for about 3 weeks now and so I don't have that much information on them...all I know is that there working blackmagic...and...well that's about it...oh and he must have something against that one guy...um...Jones I think is what you said his name was...yah...him...and that's about it...how about you?" he asked I then began to go into all the glory detail of what I know about Josh and Alice.

"So pretty much we know their working blackmagic." I said after we sat in silence for a moment or two.

"Yah...that pretty much sums it down." Mat said

"So now the question becomes...what do we do now?" I asked

"Keeping looking into it...I need more evidence this really isn't enough."

"Yah I know how this works...I sort of meat the guy who put this hole new program together."

"You've met Hunter Niall? "mat asked suddenly excided I nodded. "How?"

"Um...my very good friend...Aska her mom's best friends with Morgan...and so one Year I got a chance to meet the two of them...in fact I'm still in contact with there daughter...or at least I used to be...I haven't talk to here in awhile...but yah." I shrugged to me this wasn't such a big deal though most blood witches would kill to met them."

"Wow?" was all he could utter.

"It's really not that great you know." I said still thinking it wasn't Mat just shook his head at this. "Ok so now that we now what's going on I guess I can go home now" I said though I didn't really want to leave.

"Well we can do that if you want or maybe we up with a plan" mat said obviously not wanting me to leave either.

"Alright sounds good."
