Devils Roses 04 - Witch

the tension in the air. Hanna's bracelet was glowing like it was a raging flame, or lava.
    Giselle smirked at Marcus through the pain, "Hey I need you to save me again."
    "What? Hanna I need to speak to you." He ignored Giselle.
    Ophelia melted at his accent. He was sexy and had an accent. She envied Hanna for a moment. The hottest guys loved her.
    Hanna looked like she was battling her emotions, "Ari."
    "Ahhh I see. So what was this alternate world like? Were we married? Living in Romania in the summers and here in the winters?" His smile was bitter and pained.
    Hanna shook her head, "You were dead."
    He looked confused, "And yet I saved my last breath to save your friend? Aren't I kind."
    Hanna's face was frozen, "The kindest. Will you help her?"
    Marcus shook his head, "No."
    Hanna took a step forward, "I would be, grateful."
    He laughed, "Oh Hanna." He grabbed her hand, "You'll be grateful anyway I'm afraid."
    Ophelia took a step toward him, "Let her go."
    He smiled at Ophelia, "If Hanna needed protection I assure you, she wouldn’t be my girl."
    Hanna pushed away from him, "I'm not your girl. We had this conversation." Her eyes filled with regret, "I know where his heart is. I know how to free him."
    His face filled with rage, "Then take it."
    He stepped forward and put her hand on his chest, "You take it because I don’t want it without you."
    Hanna clenched her jaw.
    Ophelia was lost.
    Giselle was clutching her side again. Her face was pinched in pain.
    "Please."
    Marcus moved like a snake striking her arm, "See you soon." He pulled her in and kissed her face. His hand moved liked viper again and struck the bracelet on her wrist. He flashed a grin, "I like you better naked, you know that."
    Ophelia watched the bracelet fall to the ground and smash against the hard floor. The shells were white. She had never seen them white.
    She felt a strange sensation instantly. She hated Hanna. It was stronger than hate. She despised and detested her. She was gross and sleazy. Ophelia shook her head, "What is that?"
    Hanna scowled, "That is the call of a Siren." Her eyes pleaded, "Please don’t hate me."
    "I won’t. I know it isn’t real."
    The doctor came in and flashed a charming smile at Hanna, "My love."
    Ophelia watched as Hanna pulled him into her embrace. She let his hands roam her body. He kissed her. Hanna let him.
    Ophelia threw up a tiny bit as the older and clearly married doctor ran his hands over Hanna's jeans and breasts. Hanna made out with him for several minutes.
    Hanna pulled back, "Go and sleep Doctor. Find a replacement doctor to take care of my friend."
    He nodded.
    Ophelia noticed the feeling of disgust had subsided a fraction.
    The doctor left gripping his clipboard.
    Hanna sighed, "Fucking Marcus." She looked back at Giselle, "I gotta go before this shit gets real. Lydia has a spare bracelet I think."
    Giselle breathed into her cramp, "Yeah. Tell his highness to kiss my ass."
    Hanna gripped her hand, "I will make him fix you."
    Ophelia knew Hanna and Marcus had dated and he had been a piece of shit to her but she also knew Hanna loved him. She had seen the relief fill her face when he'd walked in alive and mean.
    Hanna walked out as Aimee and Blake walked in. Blake reached for her, "Hi." He pulled his glasses off and pressed her against the wall.
    Aimee grabbed his arm and scowled, "Dude. You don’t want any of that. Keep it in your pants."
    He turned and shoved Aimee, "Leave her alone."
    Aimee laughed, "So Marcus destroyed the bracelet huh?"
    Hanna sighed, "Take me to Lydia's?"
    Aimee shoved Blake at Ophelia and flashed Hanna away before Blake could react.
    He stood looking dazed, "What-what was that?"
    Ophelia felt stunned, "Hanna I guess." She looked over at the massive erection making a tent in his jeans.
    He stood dazed and lost.
    Giselle saw it and started to laugh and shake her head, "Nooooo."
    He put his glasses on again and smiled, "She is amazing."
    Ophelia covered her eyes with her hand, "Okay I'm going to go and find you some help."
    Aimee was in the room again in. She looked at Blake and shivered, "Blake."
    He looked at her. She looked at the bulge in his pants. He put a hand over it, "Oh my god." He ran from the room.

Chapter Thirty-Nine
    Aimee

    She woke from the bed beside Giselle to see Shane standing in the hall. He was in uniform and exhausted looking. She knew he had worked a night shift.
    "Hey Aimes."
    She felt a lump in her throat grow, "Hey."
    He looked at her, "You
