What would have happened if Rose found out about Dark witches and wizards much earlier? While writing chapter 13, this idea came to mind, but I ended up deciding to expose Rose to the knowledge of Dark witches near the end. I would've fully deleted this scene from my computer, but thought that you guys might like to read it, see what could have been. Enjoy!

Chapter 13-Deleted Scene

I screamed.

"No! Let me go!" I started squirming, trying to break free of this hold, but to no avail.

Suddenly, I was in a room. A room with white walls, a flatscreen tv, a desk with a laptop on it, a bed, and various other items. But the most prominent things were the pair of icy blue eyes staring into my own.

"Darren?" I asked in confusion.

"Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?" He questioned, looking me up and down for any injuries.

"N-no, I'm fine," I replied. "How did you know where I was?"

"I heard you talking with Jimmy and Dick in English about it. I got worried because I've never heard of the place in my life. I cast a spell to see what you were doing, and turns out you were in danger. I tele-transported there and got us back to my house," he explained.

I watched him with wide eyes, not even bothering to correct him on Nick's name. "I don't understand, why was I in danger? I mean, it was only supposed to be a haunted house attraction..."

"That's because it doesn't exist, like I said, I never heard about it before," he answered.

"That would explain why there weren't any people there," I thought aloud. "Except for those voices...Darren, who were they?"

He sighed, rubbing a hand along the back of his neck, looking pained.

"Tell me," I pressed.

Darren let out a breath. "Rose, they were Dark witches and wizards; they practice black magic, hence the name of the so-called attraction."

"Dark witches and wizards? Black magic?" I asked, completely confused.

"There are some witches and wizards that are good, like you and me. Then there are the Dark ones, who practice black magic. Black magic is extremely dangerous, if the right spell is cast, a whole city can die. It's unpredictable and chaotic, that's why most witches and wizards don't practice it."

I took a shaky breath, taking it all in. "So, some crazy witches and wizards are after me? Why?"

"I don't know," he replied quickly. "Point is, I'm glad you're safe."

I smiled, "thanks for getting me out of there, I owe you."

A slow smirk appeared on his features, "anything?"

My eyebrows lowered in puzzlement, "anything what?"

"Anything...like, you owe me anything?"

"...yes?" I answered, unsure. Was I going to regret this?

His smirk deepened. "Well, in that case, I want a kiss."

My eyes bugged out, mouth dropping open in shock. "A-a-a what?!"

"You heard me," he grinned, "I want a kiss; seems only fitting for your king in shining armor who rescued his fair queen."

"But-but I have a boyfriend!" I squeaked, cheeks well beyond heated.

Darren rolled his eyes, "fine then. I'll claim my kiss when you dump him, how's that?"

"I'm not dumping him," I glared.

"Even though he led you and your friends to a house infested with Dark witches and wizards?"

"Nick didn't know that! And-OH MY GOD! Jimmy and Alex! Are they okay?!" I panicked. "They weren't answering when I called for them!"

"Let me see," he murmered, pointing his finger at a wall. He moved it as if he was drawing a rectangle, orange magic on the tip of his finger and on the wall. Soon, an image fizzled to life; it was of Alex sleeping in her bed.

"Is she okay?" I whispered.

"She's fine, they don't care about humans. They probably tele-transported Jimmy and Alex to their homes before they were about to take you," he replied.

"Nick, too?"

He paused, his expression going dark. "Maybe."

"Maybe? Why maybe? He's not hurt, is he?"

"No, no. I'm sure he's fine, perfectly okay," he muttered sarcastically.
