Chapter 122

Zenovia

We stared at each other, Callahan’s eyes boring into mine as Drusilla gathered her ritual supplies.

“Okay, now I want you both to be standing in front of each other….here,” She said, pointing to a spot just in front of the statue.

I nodded and went to stand where she had asked us to. Callahan shook his head and followed suit.

Drusilla brought out another book from her bag and began reading something.

“I just have to make sure I am not doing it wrong” She mumbled. My gaze flicked to the book in her hand and I noticed it to be a pretty old and worn-out book. It had a leather outer cover and the pages seemed yellowed.

“What trick shop did you buy that book from?” Callahan asked, noticing my questioning gaze.

Drusilla flipped the pages and muttered, “I know you don’t believe in fate or destiny. The least you can do is stay quiet when I am working.”

Callahan raised his hands in mock surrender and stood in front of me while Drusilla pulled out a white powder and began drawing a circle around us.

“You are a witch as well?” I asked, just to not be caught looking at Callahan’s face when he was staring so intently at me.

Even his gaze was telling me how this was a stupid idea.

“Partially. I am learning. And I had to make a few deals just to lay a hand on this book. So it better work.”

“What deals?” Callahan asked sharply but she ignored him.

After she completed the circle around us she pulled a small dagger and held it in front of us.

“What? Now I have to nick her with that? I have claws you know,” Callahan added but Drusilla rolled her eyes at him.
