Devils Roses 04 - Witch

cheerful."
    Aimee blushed, "Oh uhm it was, well, I had a good night."
    Ophelia laughed, "Oh gross sorry. I didn’t mean to like, pry."
    Aimee shook her head, "No it was fabulous." Her grey eyes sparkled with life. "I never knew what happened when supernatural people, uhm, did it."
    Ophelia felt her face getting red, "Oh. Cool."
    Aimee put her fingers to her face and smiled. She was remembering the night before. Ophelia felt awkward.
    "I asked Oliver to save Giselle."
    Aimee's face dropped, "What?"
    Ophelia nodded, "Yeah. I did. I think he might."
    Aimee frowned, "What did Jonathan say he made again?"
    "Succubus."
    "What is that?"
    Ophelia tried to remember, "I saw it on Charmed I think they suck your life force and you die. Like a vampire."
    Aimee nodded, "Oh okay then we should be fine. As long as Giselle gets to suck something she should be fine. Wait die? Can she suck only a little at a time?"
    Ophelia shook her head, "I don’t know. On Charmed they sucked you dry."
    "Sweet fuck. Lets hurry."
    She grabbed Ophelia's hand and flashed them into the room. Oliver was bent over in an embrace with Giselle. His hands slid up into her dark hair. Her hands rubbed the back of him.
    Ophelia stopped herself from leaping forward and ripping them apart. Watching them make out was killing her slowly.
    Her heartbeat quickened. She looked down at the floor. She turned away from the scene.
    Aimee cleared her throat.
    Ophelia walked out quickly. She ran down the hall.
    "Ophelia wait."
    She pushed her legs hard when she heard his name. She shot the glass in front of her with a fireball. She dove out the window.
    The air rushed across her. She screamed seeing the ground flying at her but she knew. Her instincts felt it. She blew hard at the ground and slowed her decent. She floated to the ground. Her legs hit the pavement running.
    "O."
    She looked up to see him standing on the sidewalk in front of her. She stopped.
    "Running from someone like me is a bit pointless."
    She screamed. A fireball ripped from her fingers. He flashed and it hit a black SUV, exploding it on contact. She watched the vehicle burn.
    "That’s how we change them…"
    Her eyes shot behind her where he stood. A fireball was soaring at him before he could finish his sentence. It hit a corner of a small building and exploded it into shards of wood and glass.
    "O. The humans. Stop."
    She swung both her arms at once and fireballs shot from both hands going in a circle as she spun. She fired like a Tommy gun.
    She looked around her to see a wall of fire around her. She saw a figure on the other side of the flames. She walked through. She knew it wouldn’t burn her. Oliver stood on the lawn of the hospital with his arms crossed. His arm muscles bulged in his rolled up white dress shirt. She tried not to notice. She felt the fire rising inside of her. She felt something bite into her arms and suddenly she was standing in the garden at Marcus's. She turned to see Aleks. He held her out to assess the damage, "You okay?"
    She shook her head, "He, was, he, her." Her face fell into her hands.
    He pulled her in, "You can’t light a whole neighborhood on fire honey."
    She smelled him and memories flooded in. He sat in her window. Memories of him and Sam melded. She knew him. She knew him well. She hated that she was attracted to him.
    His huge arms wrapped around her.
    "Tell me what happened."
    She sniffed, "I asked Oliver to save Giselle. I caught them making out in the hospital room."
    He hugged her tighter, "O that's how we make a demon."
    She looked up into his blue eyes, "What?"
    He nodded, "You ever hear of the kiss of death?"
    She nodded.
    "That’s where that came from. Angels give humans the kiss of death. Mix their blood with human blood and swallow."
    She wiped her face, "Well that’s gross. You guys are disgusting."
    He laughed.
    She understood how Aimee loved him so much. He was the sweetest guy in the world. Not like Oliver. She didn’t care how it was done. He had said he loved her. Her skin crawled seeing it play over in her mind.
    "We need to get you back." She nodded. He flashed her. The air filled with warm wind and suddenly she was back at Lydia's and he was gone.
    She looked up to see Ari going over an old book on the table. She looked up and smiled, "Hey. You okay?"
    Ophelia shook her head, "No. I think I just destroyed a parking lot."
    Ari laughed, "Oh well at least it wasn’t everyone's lives."
    Ophelia sat beside her, "You know it wasn’t your
