Chapter 18
Alexander looked around at the old house. It wasn't anything to behold to the eye but if his informant had been correct this was the place of the witch who could very well help him destroy Elijah and take Elena. Before he had a chance to even approach the door it swung open with a loud crash. Alexander looked into the entry way and saw a women who appeared to be in her forties. He met her eyes; she was quite attractive for her age he mused as she approached the edge of the porch.
"Alexander I presume?" she said casually.
"Indeed, but I am as curious as to how you know my name?" he questioned her back his voice smooth.
"Your informant wasn't just your own" she smirked.
"So I see you know what I want then?" he replied as he took a step to her.
"Yes, I've been informed" she replied casually as she flipped her hair to the side.
"Wonderful shall we get down to business then?" alexander asked her.
"Of course but I must inform you that I am not one to be crossed sir. Do we have an agreement?" she countered.
"Indeed we do, but allow me the honor of knowing who I am dealing with if you will" he said as he took a step to her.
"My name is Anna, Please come in" she cooed as she took a step back inside the house.
Alexander walked casually up the stairs paying close attention to the home and its surrounding area. He noticed the home wasn't in the best condition but to which most witches seemed fine with how homes looked now a days as is. They preferred the natural effect to the lavish luxury's which he had been used to. He stepped into the home and the door closed behind him. His eyes looked around the room and saw that the furniture wasn't as outdated as the house was. The parlor had a red loveseat that was flanked with two wing backed chairs of the same color. There was a fireplace in the center of the room that lay dormant waiting to be used. The Walls were cream colored with some southern art pictures he was familiar with. There was a library off of the foyer that alexander seem to notice held various canisters and books to which he assumed was for the magical purposes of the witch. He did notice crystals and velvet that sat unused in the center of the room on a small table. Alexander turned his attention back to Anna who had taken a seat in the wing back chair closer to the fireplace. She motioned for him to join her. Alexander moved and took a seat across from her.
"Now tell me alexander what is it you really seek?" she asked meeting his eyes with question.
"Ah I seek what all seeks, to be invincible" he said as he glanced at her.
"You know as well as I that the only magic that can accomplish such a thing is dark" she replied.
"Yes, and I am told you are the one who possess the magic to do so. I also wish for an original to die as well" alexander said smirking.
"Interesting, and why an original?" she mused.
"He is standing in the way of the doppelganger whom he has fallen in love with" alexander replied.
Anna met his eyes and then stood. She moved to her library and went to the shelf. She looked thought the books that sat untouched until her eyes finally landed on the grimore she had found. She removed it from its shelf and very carefully held it close. She moved her way back to the sitting area where Alexander was sitting impatiently. She carefully placed into her lap as she sat down taking extra care as she opened it. It creaked with the flip of her hand. Dust floated to the hem of her dress as she flipped the page. She scanned the book briefly and then sat it down on the table before meeting Alexander's curious gaze.
"Now I will tell you that I too have my own reasons for agreeing to such a plan, simply because the originals have caused me a great misfortune. I will help you with your plan to kill the original, I will also help you gain what you need from the doppelganger as well with one condition of my own" she told him.
"Anything and it will be yours, you have my word" he told her instantly.
"When this is finished, you will leave me with no requests of any kind" she told him simply.
"Yes" alexander told her and held his hand to her.
Anna met his eyes and took his hand into hers.
"Now, I believe you need one other thing" she said smiling at Alexander.
Before Alexander could ask what she had meant she began to chant a low spell. Alexander could feel his skin prickle with the magic that surrounded him. He then began to feel uncomfortable which for a vampire was very strange. Suddenly the fireplace roared to life and Anna lifted her eyes to his.
"It is done" she said grinning.
"What did you do?" Alexander asked her as he looked at his hands.
"I gave you your power of daylight back" she said casually as she closed the book and stood.
Alexander followed her suit and stood as well. Anna smiled at him once more and then moved to the door. Alexander felt a sexual pull to Anna something he couldn't ignore. Yes she was a witch and everyone knew vampires and witches didn't mix well together but he could ignore the way she moved across the room or the way her black hair fell to the side of her neck with the flick of her hand. Alexander knew that what he had planned could possibly leave him missing a very key part to his anatomy but he didn't care, he wanted Anna. So quickly he moved to Anna and took her into his arms kissing her fiercely. Anna stiffened at the move and then sent her powers out around her flinging Alexander to the wall. Once he was pinned she grinned and then sent her magic back out to pull him back to her again as she kissed him back. Alexander groaned as she ripped his shirt open exposing his chiseled chest.
"This could be fun" Anna said her voice rough as alexander picked her up and carried her to the loveseat.
"Indeed it will be" he grinned before claiming Anna's lips once more.
