Chapter 2- Here's to your enemies

Lanina and I walked up to the bar, a smile on our faces. The bartender turned to us and frowned, " What are you two doing here?" He asked softly. " I told you there will be no violence here, and seeing as how you guys attract danger and violence, you shouldn't be here." I sat down and laid my hands on the counter.

" We're not here to cause trouble Eden. We just want to talk to someone who happens to work here." I pointed to the man we were hunting and grinned. " Tell him to come willingly so you can spare a scene."

" Yuzria is my best worker. Why do you want him?" Eden snapped back at me. I sighed and narrowed my eyes.

" Your best worker is doing black magic in his spare time."

" That's not illegal Noleen, or did you forget?"

" Okay, number one the name's Bella now. Two, I don't care if it's illegal or not. He pissed someone off and they came to me. I want the money they're offering, therefore, I need the witch. Give him to me Eden. Or I'll cause a scene so big you'll lose ever license you have." He growled and leaned towards me, his eyes black.

" I really don't think you." He told me.

" The feeling's mutual Eden." I shooed him away and watched him get Yuzria. Lanina chuckled and patted my shoulder.

" Damn, I forgot how good you are at negotiating." She said. I nodded my head and cracked a small smirk.

" It's a gift." I said back. Yuzria's eyes locked on mine and he scowled. I waved and batted my eyelashes. Dead witch walking. He stopped in front of me and pointed to the door. I raised my eyebrow and got off the stool; then Lanina and I walked outside with him. As soon as the doors closed behind us he put his hands on his hips and whirled around.

" Who sent you?" He demanded to know. I whipped out my knives and held them tight in my hands. He glanced at them, but I didn't see a lick of fear in his eyes. " What, you're going to kill me?" He spat.

" No yet." Lanina answered. Her weapon of choice was a long sword she hid on the inside of her jacket. I stepped forward so my face was right in front of his.

" Where's Tristine?" I whispered. His eyes opened wide and he backed away.

" What do you want with her?" He questioned me. I smiled and stepped forward again.

" What? Defending your human student Yuzria? Didn't you ever learn to keep work and play separate?"

" You leave her alone! I don't care if you kill me but I won't let you take her." I felt the air shift and glanced down at his hands, they were illuminated.

" I'm surprised, you actually think that little fireball of yours is going to hit me before my knife is in your back? You poor thing." I responded. He scoffed and shook his hands out. He knew it was useless. " All you have to do is take us to her. I promise we won't do anything to her we don't have to. Take us to her Yuzria; it's in your best interest." He shook his head and illuminated his hands again.

" Never." I sighed and whipped my knives around. Lanina swung her sword around and held it high, ready to strike.

" We really don't want to have to kill you Yuzria." I cried. " Just let her go. She's using what you've taught her for evil. She's pissed off the wrong people Yuzria and she needs to pay for it."

" She wouldn't do that!" He yelled.

" Are you so sure she isn't taking you for granted? Are you absolutely positive?" Lanina asked him.

" Of course I am." He answered her.

" Come on. Hasn't she urged you to teach her more. Even though inside you know she shouldn't know it. Humans who do magic are dangerous for a reason Yuzria! They don't know what they're doing and they will sell what the know to anyone because they don't know the consequences. Eden was right in there; it isn't illegal for you to be doing black magic. But to be teaching a human is and you know that! Why are you risking yourself for her?" I yelled back at him.

" Because I love her!" He exclaimed. " I love her and I can't lose her."

" So you teach her things so she stays interested. So she has a reason to stick around? That isn't love Yuzria, and I think you know that." He fell to his knees and the flames in the palms of his hands faded out. Lanina glanced at me and nodded her head; we'd broken him. She kept her sword out but lowered it as we walked over to him. I knelt beside him and put a hand on his shoulder.

" It can't be true. . . She said she wouldn't- she said she loved me." He sobbed.

" Sometimes love isn't enough Yuzria. . . " I whispered. " Where is she?" He looked up at me, his green eyes full of sorrow.

" She works at an office, I can take you there." He whispered back. I helped him up and we walked over to my car.

" You're doing the right thing Yuzria. I'm sorry you have to though." I told him. He shook his head and lowered himself into the car. I put my knives back where they belonged and slid into the front seat. I turned the key in the ignition and drove out of the bar's parking lot. I peeked in my rearview mirror and saw Yuzria wipe his tears away, then his eyes flashed red. I knew you never wanted to piss off a powerful witch. And Tristine had done exactly that.

" Over here." Yuzria whispered and pointed to the building on my left. I pulled into the parking lot and stopped the car. " Do you need me to come in with you?" He asked. I looked at Lanina who shrugged her shoulders. I turned around and glanced at him.

" You can if you want to. But you don't have to. You can wait in the car until we're done." I responded.

" Are you going to kill her?" I sighed and brushed my hair out of my face with my fingers.

" We're going to have to." I told him quietly. " I'm sorry Yuzria." He shook his head.

" No. . . I understand. I shouldn't have-" His voice cracked and he looked out the window. " I want to come with you." He said after a couple seconds.

" Okay. . . Then let's go I guess." Lanina replied. I got out of the car and made sure it was locked before we headed into the building. Yuzria opened the door and stepped aside. I smiled softly and walked inside; I felt kind of bad to kill his girlfriend. But, that's what she got for selling what he was teaching and using it for bad. Sometimes you just can't help what you have to do. And there was the fact we were getting paid ten grand to off her. Yup, someone really wanted her dead.

I waited until everybody was in before stepping into the elevator. " Which flo-" Yuzria pushed the button and then leaned against the elevator wall. I looked at him closely; I could see how Tristine could fall for him. He was handsome. He had curly black hair and deep green eyes. I guessed he was about two hundred years old. He reeked of power. But I also got the impression he didn't gloat or use it often. ' That's kind of a shame.' I thought to myself. ' He could have a lot of people worshipping him.' The elevator stopped and we headed out. Lanina's duster trailed along the floor as we walked off to her cubicle. Tristine immediately knew something was up because she looked up and locked eyes with us in a couple seconds flat. Her eyes opened wide and she got up. She muttered something to the person next to her and came over to us. Lanina and I stopped, we knew she'd come to us so why should we walk any farther? Sure enough, Tristine practically tripped on the way over to us, I could smell her fear. It hung in the air like bad perfume.

" Yuzria. Who are your friends?" She asked. He stepped forward and grabbed her elbow.

" Come outside with us." He said angrily. I arched my eyebrow, maybe I was wrong about this man. She nodded her head and we walked back into the elevator. I could feel the shivers run down her spine as we stepped outside. " How could you?" Yuzria asked her as soon as we were out of the building. " How could you betray me like this?"

" Yuzria, I swear I didn't do-" She started but he growled and punched the building hard.

" Stop lying Tristine! I know you've done something! These women are here to kill you because of something you've done?" I wondered for a second why he didn't tell her we were vampires. I knew he could smell us, every supernatural creature had a distinct scent. I stepped forward and touched his shoulder lightly.

" Yuzria, let us deal with her. Just go back in the car." I said softly. He whipped around, his green eyes now a deep red. I hated that witches could do that. Of course we could too, it was just black when we did.

" No, I'm staying." He replied then turned back to Tristine. " You know I hate using my powers ever since. . . How could you?" He whispered. She came forward and wrapped her arms around him.

" Baby I'm so sorry." She sobbed. " Please don't let them hurt me." He shoved her away.

" You're dead to me." He snarled and then walked off. I sighed and face Tristine.

" We have to talk." I told her. She nodded her head and gulped.

" Please don't kill me. I didn't know-" I raised my hand and cut her off.

" Cut the bullshit. You knew exactly what you were doing when you sold Yuzria out. He sacrificed a lot for you. How did you two even meet in the first place?" She chuckled, a big grin on her face. I looked at her in confusion, what the hell was going on?

" What does it matter? He's done everything I wanted him too." She responded, flipping her hair over her shoulder. " All that power sitting there dormant. The least he could do was share it." My mouth dropped.

" He was sharing his power with you?" Lanina questioned her. " Damn he's an idiot." Tristine chuckled and nodded her head. Then she flipped it forward and Lanina and I flew a couple feet back. My butt landed on the hard cement. I growled softly and stood right back up. That's it, enough talking. The bitch was going down. Suddenly she was in front of my face, humans couldn't move that fast.

" You were an idiot for denying Mitchell. Now he has a whole army prepared to go against you. Tell me, guardian, are you ready for that?" She laughed and her eyes flashed black.

" What the hell are you?" I cried. She leaned forward, her mouth by my ear.

" One of your many enemies. We'll be meeting again, soon. Until then." She whispered and then she was gone. I looked at Lanina, whose eyes were as wide as mine were.

" I'm fucked." I whispered to her. She nodded her head and put her sword away.

" Yeah, you are."

Wow, so many reviews for just the first chapter! Thanks guys! Hopefully you like this one too! I liked it! Hehe. Oh, and to answer a quick , no they can't have kids. Lanina was just saying that if the Cullens' were a real family and human, Bella's and Edward's kids would be pretty messed up. She was just joking around. Well, thanks for reading! Keep reviewing and I will see you soon.

Until next time,
