Chapter 143
Penny was surprised because when Bathsheba did tilt the entire glass, the liquid fell right at the center of the circle of the parchment . If Penny didn't believe in magic, she sure did now when the blood that fell down started to move on the very lines that were drawn on the parchment before the ritual had started . It was as if the blood had suddenly taken life which started to move gradually from the center to all the endpoints, curving to meet each other until the entire parchment looked to be designed in just ink .
She looked at the bloody inked parchment and then up at Bathsheba whose eyes were still black . She thought that was all until she saw the blood raise itself as if moving against gravity to form thin strands . Bathsheba stared at the blood strands, one of her hands held up in the air . It was intricate to look at before they finally fell to splatter on the parchment as if meaning to damage the very parchment they had been making use of when her hand fell down to her side .
The only movements of Damien were his eyes that had been picking on every little thing around in the room . He had work in the council but leaving Penny on her own was something he didn't trust the black witch with . He had known Bathsheba for a few years now and even though he gave away her ingredients while receiving the information he needed at times, he still hadn't learned to trust the black witch completely . In his personal opinion, it was better to be careful than regret over something which had not been taken good measures with .
Black witch's nature was so that the very stem they grew in was made of pure evil where they broke the trust as easy as a feeble stick . Betrayal ran in their veins and it didn't matter if it was their very own sisters . To achieve something they felt was right, any path would do . Right now what Bathsheba shared was a give and take relationship where she owed her life to him . A favor being returned for letting her stay .
While charm stones worked great on humans and other vampires, there were some exceptions . Dark creatures found it easier to find people similar to them . Though the black witch had been careful, she had been caught by Damien's eyes which she had failed to understand and find an answer for .
The charm should have worked on him too, to keep her presence unknown . A few decades ago, there was a time when people killed each other to get their hands on these charm stones which were now lost as a myth like many other things, for example, the moon signs . But in time everything washed away leaving people to wonder about what was the truth and what was the false information which was created to mislead the humans and other creatures like her own .
Looking at the splattered blood which belonged to Penny, Damien asked Bathsheba, "What is her source?" A few of the witches were gifted, similar to the pureblooded vampires which automatically went to waste even if they did have as they never lived too long to learn and make use of it . While some who discovered by pure accident and worst luck of the other creatures they used it for destruction .
