Devils Roses 04 - Witch

me.” She wanted to laugh at herself for being such a noob but he could be her father for all she knew. None of the others seemed to age beyond thirty-ish. He looked twenty-five, but she knew that meant nothing.
    “I know all there is to know about you. Born July 7th, 1994 at seven minutes after seven. Your brother was born a minute after you, making you the older twin. You’re part of a prophecy to end the world or heal it, depending on how you choose. I know I'm drawn to you. From the minute it was discovered you were alive I have felt you at every moment.”
    “That's creepy. You are not welcome here. This is the Vampire queen’s property. She eats strangers.”
    He laughed, “You are much cuter than I thought. I had feared you would look like your father. He’s not the handsomest of men.”
    “You know my father how?”
    “I fell with him.”
    She gulped realizing he would then of course be as strong as Lorri. She held her finger pointed at him, “You’re an angel?”
    He gave a short nod.
    “Why are you here?”
    “For you.”
    She took a step back and shouted over her shoulder, “Hanna come meet my friend.”
    He looked nervous seeing Hanna, “Is she a Siren?”
    Ophelia beamed, “Don’t like Sirens? Pretty sure that makes you racist.”
    His laugh grew nervous, “Oh I like them just fine. In fact I have a rather hard time not liking them. Tell her to stay over there.”
    Ophelia smiled as she heard the crunching of Hanna’s footsteps on the gravel and branches coming closer, “Who is he?” She asked.
    “He is like Lorri only he must be one of the bad ones. Lorri never mentioned an Oliver to me.”
    Hanna wiped her face, “Dorian mentioned one to me. He’s Jonathan’s pet. He let the darkness take him the way your father did.”
    He smirked, “Of course Dorian would know you. He’s always liked Siren’s. I recall he had one a while ago. Never got over her I’m afraid. She was lovely.”
    Hanna sneered, “Why are you here?” She pulled her phone out and sent a message.
    Dorian appeared instantly just behind them, “Oliver. What on earth could possibly posses you to come here?”
    Oliver smiled, “Brother. It’s good to see you again.” He crossed his arms making the shirt seem constricting.
    “Why are they all so hot?” Ophelia leaned in and whispered to Hanna who giggled.
    “I think I could have gone a little longer before I saw you again. You’re a traitor to your own kind and to our father.”
    Oliver’s eyes flashed at Ophelia again, “I cannot say you misjudge me brother but I can say I was wrong. Wrong in my betrayal and wrong in the side I chose. The dark is a tempting seductress.”
    “You’re boring me. Out with why you’re here?”
    He shrugged, “I came to help. Jonathan has taken it too far. He’s mad.”
    Dorian laughed, “He’s always been mad and you’ve always been a wanker so please stop wasting my time. Go back and tell Jonathan your pathetic little attempt failed. We won’t be tricked by you two.”
    Ophelia felt like she was out of the loop. She glanced at Hanna who seemed to be following along well enough and sighed, “Well I’m going inside. Nice meeting you Oliver. Please tell my father I said hello and thanks for raping my mother for a thousand years so I could be born to this wonder and excitement.”
    His words floated into her mind, ‘I need you Ophelia. We need to be together’. She turned back to him and frowned. He smiled again, “I can get you guys inside.”
    ‘Your sister Abbey is still alive, for now. We need to hurry’ his words licked at her mind. She watched him. His blue eyes seemed honest. His beautiful face was sexy. She couldn’t be sure if she wanted to say yes because he was gorgeous or because he was a good guy.
    Hanna glanced at her and nodded, “We do need help getting in there.”
    Dorian also crossed his arms, “It’s a trap. We follow him in and then Jonathan gets you.”
    Oliver cocked his head, “Brother he has the upper hand. Why would he need her to come to him?”
    Dorian shrugged, “Look I’m not playing at this Oliver. I’ve sent a message to Lorri who will no doubt be here any minute, with Aimee.”
    Oliver grinned, “Ah yes the dealer you made. Quite the intelligent move. You’ve made something bigger than us all there. Can she take us out?”
    Dorian nodded, “She can.”
    Oliver shook his head and chuckled, “You made something that can kill you? You’ve always been the reckless
