Saturday 30 June 2018, Hanbridge family mansion, Leeds, England
The shocking discovery of Daryl's release was what shocked the girls of Luna Nova, for being surprised with the news that could shock even more with the issue of magic changing, since it was one more concern at hand, besides the presence of Margaret, the cultists, now had another front that eventually appeared giving the faces, this one that already has a place to stay and a mission to fulfill.
The Hanbridge family mansion is where she got this roof over her head since she would never be welcome at Cavendish mansion at any cost, both by her daughters and by all the employees that have already been warned by Laura and Bernadette to keep an eye in case Daryl wants to be there.
In this day she arrived to talk a little bit with Paul about the lodging and future plans, both of them seemed to have a certain alliance about a bigger plan.
" I finally got in touch with Laura and Bernadette, they are in Luna Nova, they must have been camping and had no signal, which is very strange since Arcturus has a phone signal, or maybe they left their mobile phones in Luna Nova, anyway they already know I'm back on the move " Cavendish said.
" They know what? It was no use decoding your voice! I can't believe you made that slip, now we can put the plan to ruin and you know the boss won't like that at all " Hanbridge said.
" You can relax, it's no danger, they don't know about our alliance or who I'm working for, I just intimidated them, that's why everything is fine, my appearance serves to cause fear and panic, they will be desperate when the time comes, now everything will be more in panic, I guarantee that even at Cavendish mansion things must be tense " said the Scot.
" You'd better be because I paid dearly to get you out of jail and I'm putting your trust so that our plan works out," said the Englishman.
The two kept talking and half hidden by the walls listening to everything was Andrew getting half in shock by the things he kept hearing, half surprised even by the presence of Daryl by his family's mansion.
" (So that's it? They didn't tell me, but they are planning something, an attack on Luna Nova... I have to warn someone about it, but I can't just walk out of here without anyone suspecting, they might hear me listening in.)
The boy continued there quietly listening to the conversation of the two until he got shocked by the plan that the two intended to do, turning on the mobile phone recorder, to listen to the maximum he could.
Then both of them leave the room holding hands and each one goes in a different direction, what becomes a gap for the youngest Hanbridge to go to his room, where from there he goes searching for the contacts.
" (Here... Lady Cavendish, I'll send her the recording and warn her about Daryl's alliance with Paul, they want to do horrible things to witches, I can't allow that... My dream of being a witch will be ruined).
Andrew sent a message to Bernadette that was caught kind of surprised to see the boy sending a message to her after so long, even more that the last one had been a message of happy birthday on the 4th of June when Cavendish completed 46 years of age.
Then the boy hears knocking at the door, he quickly deletes the messages so that nobody notices, it was his father who then enters by the bedroom door.
" Boy you have to become a real man, you have to stop sitting there just on your mobile phone, you have to get a position in this society, I am serious now " Paul said.
" Seriously dad, you keep picking on me every day, now you still receive this criminal in our house and you expect some respect from me for you? " said the son.
" Look at the tone in which you address me Andrew! She's free now, she's not a criminal, the ones there who set her up to be arrested and convicted, are you really going to side with the witches and betray your father? Is that the kind of man you want to be? You have to act like a real man, that's why I will take you to enjoy a grown up day like a good man deserves," said his father with his arms crossed.
" And what day will that be? Are you taking me to the gym? I already do... Or will you take me to do something macho? " Said the boy with a certain debauchery.
" You'll know, now put on something decent and classy, we're going to have some fun " Said the older man who then left the room adjusting his tie.
" (I hate going out with him, he's going to force me into another activity that only he likes I can even see, just because I'm not man enough... Imagine when he knows that I even like women...)
Andrew gets out of bed, checks his messages noticing an emoji of astonishment from Cavendish, who then texts being shocked by what he ended up hearing and how it all made sense.
[Andrew: Are you going to come here and sort things out?]
[Bernadette: No, I have a better plan, you will be our eyes around the mansion, we here will play stupid and desperate, you watch them both closely Andy, I trust you lad, I know you can do it, remember the magic lessons I taught you, in case things get tight].
[Andrew: Thanks for the help Mrs Cavendish, you can leave it here I'll keep an eye on everything and I won't let things get any worse].
[Bernadette: By the way, Laura and I know a lot about your mother, I think you are old enough to understand these things... When you have finished all this come to the house and we will tell you where Eleanora is].
[Andrew: I understand you guys, I'll make sure all the information can you leave it, thank you for the help you two give me].
[Bernadette: Ah Andy, I owe it to your mother too, she was a lovely person and never stopped treating you with love, anyway I'll plan things better with Laura, good luck boy, kisses from Aunt Bern].
Andrew gets a smile on his face, then deletes those messages so no one would be suspicious, where he goes to his room to change, putting on a suit, sort of then looking in the mirror snorting a little as he sees himself.
" (I just wish I didn't have to wear that... I envy Diana and Hellene, they have wonderful mothers who always let them wear what they wanted, and here I am with 18 years old, having to wear what my father tells me to, I can't even let my hair grow too, I'm left with this horrible thing).
The boy snorts a bit and then leaves the room taking the mobile phone from his pocket, walking through the corridors, where he ends up seeing Daryl passing by with an intimidating smile, the two of them kind of stare at each other, until the girl herself ends up barring the passage of the boy who is just frozen.
" You'd better be a behaved boy, I know you have a relationship with Bernadette, I'll keep my eyes peeled for you Andrew " Cavendish said.
" Leave me alone, your presence here is not enough " Hanbridge said.
" Ohhhhhh, don't think like that, everyone thinks I'm a criminal, I'm so misunderstood, you don't know the real story, now keep quiet, don't try any funny stuff, I run this place with the same authority as your father, now get out of here you little faggot " said the Scottish girl pushing the Englishman with everything.
" (The aura of this woman... Now I understand what they went through around her, I can't even move properly, you can feel from here that her magic is beyond anything I realized, I hope Laura and Bernadette can stop her).
Next the boy reaches the Hall where his father was holding a cigar and by there was also Louis Blackwell and his father, where the two nod to the boy who nods quietly back, somewhat annoyed.
" Oh Andrew, you'll come too, what do you know boy, you'll take the chance to become a real man " Don said.
" Oh yeah Andy, I thought you were a faggot, but who knew you actually like women " Said the younger Blackwell patting the boy on the back.
" Oh sorry Mr Hanbridge, my son is all relaxed " Louis' father said.
" Don't worry, you two are friends, better than that Frank guy, I kicked him out of the house after I found out he was that Bisexual thing " Paul said.
" Ah the Premium Faggot? It's not enough to be a faggot, he still wants to like women, what a retarded thing to do, it's a good thing that here there are only real men, now let's go, they must be waiting for us " Don said.
From there they walk to the limousine, passing through the city of Leeds, which Andrew had no idea where they were going to get to, until the car stopped, and the front was written "The Madam Witches", the aesthetics all chic, until passing the door, revealing itself to be a club, only it was different, it was all luxurious, the "waitresses" passed by there dressed as witches only in a slightly more vulgar way.
" What's that, Dad? You took me to a club of... " Hanbridge said shocked.
" I have always frequented this place, feel free, here you will become a real man," said Paul who was greeted by a dark haired girl wearing a red outfit.
" Mr Hanbridge, how nice to see you here, it's been a long time, and this boy? That's your son " said the woman.
" That's him yes Marjoraine, that's Andrew, he's come here to have his first time, you can call one of ours right away, I want some good witches today too " Hanbridge said.
" (What? It's not enough to be forced to a place like this, my father still wants to make a conversion with me, I hope nothing terrible happens, seriously? I don't even want to think about lying with a woman).
From there the four go to sit down, where soon some of the girls of the nightclub are sitting next to the boys, kind of offering themselves to everyone, while Andrew was holding on not to freak out, in the middle of all the exposure by the girls he was the only one who was not enjoying it, being all the time pulled to something else.
" Look what a good thing Andrew " Said the father running his hand over the buttocks of one of the girls, which the boy was getting a look of astonishment on his face.
" Come on Andrew, put your hand there, this is all ours " said Louis who was touching the chest of the same girl.
" (I can't do that, this girl is clearly not at ease, her face, it's very noticeable that she's not at ease, what made her stay in that situation? Because it must be really sad not having any other option but that).
" Go on boy, get to it " Paul said, pressing his son, who was afraid to go over there.
" Hahahaha, seriously what a virgin your son is, no offence to you sir, but Andrew needs to pick up a woman and learn how it's done " Don said.
" That's it, where's the girl we asked for? " said the boy's father.
Before long, a redhead with a vulgar outfit comes out of there, she was a little different from the others because she was wearing a necklace of the Star of David, which was already starting with some clapping coming from the three of them while Andrew remained neutral.
" Here is someone Andrew is sure to have the best first time... Ruth the lioness of Judah, she's fantastic in bed " Marjoraine said.
" Go on boy enjoy it " said Paul pushing his son.
From there the boy was getting a little surprised, noticing the confident expression that the girl also had that was intimidating, and he followed her through the corridors until he reached the private room, which was quite luxurious, where the girl was unbuttoning her shirt.
" No! Please don't! I don't want to do anything, can we just stay here and pretend something happened? " Said Hanbridge sitting down on the bed, which soon Ruth was wearing a slightly different expression.
" What's up, kid? If you want a cheering pill we have some here, I guarantee the secrecy of all my clients " Ruth said.
" It's not like that girl, I don't like women, I'm gay! I was forced to come here by my father, he is a bastard, since you guarantee secrecy then I will talk about it " said Andrew.
" Oh all right, you know what? I love clients like you, you always have something more to talk about, I even like having to lie with men, we are forced to do that, unfortunately it was the only place I had of welcome since my mothers death, I was taken care of by Marjoraine " Said the Jewish girl who soon sat next to the boy while drinking a glass of champagne.
" So you never wanted this life? " Hanbridge asks.
" Look, you seem like a good boy and since you have so many revealing things like me, then I say, I don't even like men, I am forced every day to go to bed and I feel as if my essence is being torn out, as if it were a knife penetrating my body every day, I always cry every time I go to bed, And I just wanted to get out of here with another girl that from time to time we even have a little relationship, but it's surprising, a boy with a wealthy father like yours, moreover money that doesn't pay anything in how bad he is in bed " said the redhead.
" I'd rather not say I'm his son, that man has always been rotten to me, he pushes me to be that real man, he bosses everything, my dress, hair, even who I talk to, I'd really rather say I'm the son of the late Eleanora, I can be proud to have had a mother like her " Said the boy who ends up causing Ruth to spit out the champagne.
At this time it kind of ends up causing the greatest climate between the two, who then go looking at each other, at the time the girl is kind of touching Andrew's face, noticing some few similarities with her own, she goes to the mirror near the bed, looking at herself, then the boy, getting a huge face of astonishment.
" What is it? " Confused Hanbridge asked.
" Is Eleanora your mother's name? Like what's her whole name? " asks the shocked Ruth.
" Eleanora Maria White, that's what my godmother told me, she still hasn't revealed everything about her to me, but I know a few things " Said the boy scratching the back of his neck and at that the Jewess went all shocked.
" She was my mother! She died shortly after I was born, my other mother's name was Naomi Ben Asher, they died when I was very young, that implies we are brothers " Said the shocked girl.
" So you mean my mother had children with someone other than my father? " asks the shocked boy.
" Look even I am shocked by this, something happened, but my mother's name was this, I even have a picture of her that I always keep inside my necklace " Ruth said taking off her necklace.
Opening David's star there were two pictures, one of Naomi and another of Eleanora, which opened a whole shock to Andrew who had a picture of his mother saved in his mobile phone, he made sure to show it to the redhead who was astonished to see it.
" We are brothers! " They both say together.
" Ahhhhhh, I'm glad I never got to do anything with you, I'd feel like the worst thing, I'd rather live on the street than that " said the Jewish girl.
" Ruth I'm going to give you the contact of my godmother, she can help you get out of here, she is an incredible person, she who helped me to have more confidence in knowing that I was gay " said Andrew that was writing down in the paper the name and number of Bernadette.
" Bernadette? I've heard that name before. Professional skater, the flying Scot, I remember as a child seeing her jumping ramps and winning hearts, she dates a woman and has two daughters " Ruth said surprised.
" That's her, my godmother Bernadette has no idea what happened, she can get you out of this and give you a chance in life," said the excited boy.
" Look I wish, but you're still kind of innocent, I'll talk to this godmother of yours, but it's something above what you imagine it to be, the whole system is geared to keep me here forever, I'll probably be killed murdered like some of my friends who tried were, it's not just running away from here, it's something bigger than you imagine Andrew, but anyway, I'm glad I met my brother " Said the Jewess giving the boy a hug.
From there they were kind of pretending to be spending time as if they had sex, even using the tactic of calling in a porn movie while they were dialoguing, between themselves, kind of at that time was creating a friendship with the two, until the time to leave where they wave one to the other and the boy is leaving excited, disguising a little, until it's time to tell everything to the father. Where Andrew shows how he has a bit of skill in lying.
Things are mounting up at Hanbridge mansion, Daryl's presence there ended up confirming the girls where she was sheltering, but this time she's going to have the help of someone to watch everything and ensure the witches' safety, a boy that nobody gave anything, is serving as a way to be able to save them all from a bigger danger.
See you, gay wizards...
