Chapter 10

(Griffin's P.O.V)

After band practice I went towards to washer and got Alice's clothes. The witch looked at me weirdly as I took the clothes and grumbled something about fetish…

I walked out and thought about why she looked at me so weirdly…

'Wait a minute… Did she think…?' I stopped midway and blushed hardly. Thank god I'm invisible so no one noticed.

God dammit witch, I don't wear girl clothing! Just because I'm fetching clothes from the washer doesn't mean I wear them! And it's none of her business if someone has a fetish or not jeez!

When I finally got back to the room I was expecting a welcome back or a sleeping Alice, only to realize something and someone was missing. Both the skeleton phone and Alice were gone. I couldn't help but panic so I threw Alice's clothes on the bed and ran out of the room to find her.

"Alice?" I whispered softly and looked around trying to check where Alice was.

"Woah, Griffin what's wrong?" Johnnystein asked me when I accidentally bumped into him.

"Oh it's just… I'm looking for a cat." I said looking sideways.

"A cat…?" He looked shock and looked behind and whispered something about 'Oh god how could I forget about her?' and mumbled something else I didn't manage to catch.

"Johnny? Alright there buddy?" I tapped onto his shoulder and this time it was my turn to ask if he was alright.

"Oh it's nothing! Let me help you! How does this cat look like? "He laughed nervously and faced me.

"It has a white fur with a slight light sapphire kind of blue shade... about this big" I tried giving him the size with my hand and forgot I was invisible…

"Uhm.. Griff…" He still looked a bit surprised but looked at me confusingly.

"Right right sorry, I mean about this big." I took a few newspapers and made the shape of how big Alice's cat form looked.

"Alright, let's go search for her!" He said. How did he know Alice was a girl…? I didn't say anything that… Never mind that where could that mischievous cat gone to now?

We looked all around and asked people if they saw Alice for a few hours but none of them saw her and kept telling us to ask someone else. I and Johnny decided to check the rooms and I went into Wayne's room and saw the familiar skeleton phone from my room.

I quietly sneaked in and brought him out.

"Hey! Where did Alice go?" I whispered while glaring at the skeleton phone.

"Overprotective much, relax. We went to the roof earlier and Mavis bumped into her than brought us into her room. I got reassigned to be in Wayne's room so Alice's probably still with Mavis right now. Just go back to your room. She'll probably turn up there after a while." He reassured me and chuckled. I thanked him and glared at him again before I quietly sneaked in Wayne's room again to place him back there.

I went towards Johnny and told him I found her. He asked me if I could see her and I told him that I'll let him see her tomorrow. I probably need to tell Alice first if I want to let anyone see her.

When I got back to the room Alice was lying down on the bed still quite awake I could tell.

"Welcome back Griff, you took really long huh! The skeleton was reassigned to another person's room while you were gone" She said innocently and sat up in her cat form.

"I see, you were pretty lonely huh Alice?" I asked and sat next to her. I guess I should play her game and act like I don't know.

"Mmhm, I entertained myself though…" She said softly and looked out the window. So that's how she got out.

"Oh my, how did you get this bump on your forehead?" I smirked as she worriedly touched her forehead and winched.

"Oh, uh… you mean this? I accidentally hit the wall when I was bored" She laughed nervously and refused to make eye contact with me as she tried to hide the bump.

"Alice…" I said softly and I knew she heard my disappointed voice as her ears perked up a bit.

"I'm sorry jeez…. you probably know I went out huh..." She said as her cat ears drooped down as she gave me those kitty eyes.

"Yes, and I thought I specifically told you to not-"I tried to not look at those eyes and continue being serious with her

"I didn't cause any trouble! The skeleton phone tempted me!" She cut me off and looked me again with another dose of extra cute kitty eyes.

"Alright, as long as you didn't get in any trouble. Now tell me, what did you do?" I sighed as she gave a small 'yay' and lay on my lap. I petted her back softly as she purred.

"I met a girl named Mavis earlier on the roof. She bumped into me and she has a really hard skull! I mean look at my forehead! She didn't even winch when she bumped onto me!" She whined and showed her forehead towards me to emphasize.

"Really? So what did you and Mavis talk about?" I asked as she smiled.

"Just girls stuff. She has a crush on Johnnystein!" She rolled and lay down on her back exposing her tummy and I moved my hand to her head to avoid getting scratched for touching her tummy again. I massaged her injury softly earning a soft glare when I tried to pet her tummy for fun.

"I guess I can't say I'm surprised especially how they look at each other." She gave a sharp glare when I stopped massaging her head as she moved her head to my hand and made me massage her again.

"You won't believe how many crazy things she asked me! It was like mm…" She murmured as she slowly drifted to sleep.

"I'm sure you can continue telling me about it at night, get some sleep Alice." I laughed softly and got her off my lap and placed her next to me on the bed so I could sleep as well.

Darkness slowly crept towards me and I was in a garden… I looked at Lola's lifeless defiled body and chanted the spell.

"reciful esaelp netsil ot siht reyarp dna pleh esiar alol morf eht daed dna otni a retsnom" I chanted and placed the potion onto her.

When I finished the chant Lola opened her eyes immediately and gave a loud groan.

"Yes! Lola! Thank god you're okay." I hugged her tightly as she placed an arm over my back.

"Griffin… I'm back to life?"

"Yes… Lola you're okay now… you'll have a lifespan like a monster and…"

"You took advantage of my trust!" She growled as she pushed me away.

"Lola I can explain" I looked at her and tried to place my hand over her face to calm her down.

"How could you…" She slapped my hand away and looked at the ground.

"Lola…" I looked at her as she became a trembled mess. All I could do was look at her as the pain was about to come to her transformation.

"How could you do this to me Griffin?" She howled in pain as a pair of wings began to sprout on her back. Blood trickled down as she cried softly.

"I'm sorry Lola I thought-"The ceremony of changing her into a monster like me had just completed and I didn't tell her what the fourth ritual was. Turning her to be something like me was impossible so I tried the second best thing… a Succubus.

"How could you be so selfish Griffin? Why didn't you tell me the requirements? "Her tan skin slowly turned into a whiter pale shade.

"Because if I did…" If I told her that she couldn't be a virgin or alive for the spell to take place she would have backed out… So when we finished the first 3 ritual… I drugged her to defile and kill her… It filled me with remorse and worry but I continued the spell anyway.

"You didn't trust me…" She held her claws at me and I could see her crying.

"Lola I'm sorry…" I tried to hold her arm but she angrily turned around and flew with the wings she just acquired.

"I don't ever want to see you ever again Griffin!" She screamed as I tried to chase her.

"Griffin?" Someone shook me softly.

"Whose there?" I asked

"It's me…" The voice sounded familiar but why?

"I'm sorry Lola…" I whispered softly and the place felt like it was crumbling

"Griffin, please snap out of it! That was your memory…" The voice shook me harder now and held onto me.

"Alice?" I managed to whisper out as the world stopped shaking.

"I'm sorry to intrude but one of my abilities suddenly activated when we slept and you were having a nightmare… This is your conscious… to simplify what I said we're in the part of your head where you dream…"

"I'm a disgrace, a real monster the humans call…" I looked down and felt a few drops of water fell from my eyes.

"Griffin… Sh… Sh… It's going to be okay… Just rest…" Alice patted me softly and I slowly fell into another depth of darkness…

It felt so much sweeter and soothing though… I looked at Alice's eyes and saw a glimmer shine before allowing the soothing darkness to take over.
