The Witchery - Zoen Alyanna (good inspirational books TXT) 📗

its very understanding with no mean comebacks. Perfectly imperfect in my opinion!

After I had finished my muffin I cleaned up my cup and plate and turned off the stereo then went into the living room and turned on the TV. I found MTV was playing the top 20 videos so I turned that on and relaxed on the couch pulling a book from the coffee table. I was re-reading this book for the hundredth time and could probably recite you almost every single page if you asked me to. I was re-reading THE OUTSIDERS. I don’t really know exactly what it is about this book. But it is always so touching and makes me respect everyone so much more, and makes me cherish every moment of life. Especially all my time with Luc and my very scarce time with the rest of my family. And really makes me hold my friends closer to my heart, never know when you will lose one of them. And if there is one thing I have learned from this book it is that friendship is everything. It can hold you together or tear you apart and that’s what makes it so important. Without friendship this world would not work properly. And with that I picked up my book and opened it up to the first page. It read:
“When I stepped out of the movie house into the sunlight I had two things on my mind, Paul Newman, and a ride home.”

Everything was all warm and fuzzy, and I let out a soft little sound as I rolled over on my side grabbing at the warmth and pulling it to me. I leaned up in my dream and crushed my lips to the guy that stood in front of me he was tall and looked like a super model. But there was something different to him, he seemed dangerous as if he had a deep evil buried deep down. Then the guy pulled back with a chuckle and pressed a simple finger to her lips “Shhh” was all he said before he disappeared into the wind and then Luc was there and he was hurt I cringed in agony then I jumped up and rolled off the couch, I expected to hit the ground with a thud but, was very easily caught in someone’s strong arms.

I looked up into dark eyes with the strange golden fiery color around the iris. I leaned into his chest trying to remember a name to match the face. Then I started to cry softly into a lean muscular chest. Until I finally remembered the name of the boy with the mysterious eyes, Demetri. Immediately I rolled over and looked back up at Demetri and he looked at me very confused. I slowly sat up and got back on the couch settling into the comfy cushions. Demetri just kind of stared and sat on the floor staring up at me, shocked.
“What happened?” I asked, my voice sounding hoarse. He ran a hand through his hair and I noted that the red in his hair looked even more like flames when it was slightly messed up. It made Demetri look even more seductive and dangerous kind of like the guy from my dream. I studied Demetri’s face and then I noticed how his perfectly proportioned lips were flushed with color and damp, perfectly kissable. Oh, god, no, was all I could think. Demetri ran a hand over his perfectly pale face then looked back at me looking slightly worried.
“Well I came in ‘cause Luc sent me here to make sure you were okay and everything. I seen you were sleeping and didn’t really want to bug you but then you started tossing and turning and making weird moaning sounds and it sounded like you were in pain so I kind of shook you lightly trying to wake you up. And then well you kind of grabbed me and I figured you were just dreaming so I sat for a second and then I grabbed your arms getting ready to pull them off of me and shake you again. But then you uhm, you kissed me. And after a second I pulled away realizing you were dreaming, then you started to moan in pain and then you yelled and your face was full of pure agony so I shook you again and then you rolled off of the couch into my lap.” Demetri finished a little blush coming to his cheeks as he looked down at his hands and trying to be discreet ran his fingers over his lips very slowly. I looked down acting like I did not see him do it.

Finally after about 5 minutes Demetri cleared his throat and looked up at me.
“Are you okay?” he asked me looking worried. I nodded then shivered. He looked very concerned.
“Really I’m fine. Just cold that’s all, remember I’m still sick. That’s probably why I was having weird nightmares. Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Nothing a sweatshirt, a blanket, and a good movie or book won’t fix, ya know?” I asked him kind of curling up on myself on the couch. He nodded.
“Yea I know. So what are we watching?” he asked me. I shook my head.
“What? I don’t think so. You are going back to school, I’m getting a hoodie, Luc’s oober soft blanket, my teddy bear and I am going to lay on this couch and watch Titanic until everyone gets back. And hope to god no one walks in while I am sobbing like a baby. Got it?” I asked. Demetri laughed then leaned in a little closer to me.
“I am sorry Liyra. But I am really not that easy to get rid of. Especially not after a kiss like that, jeez. I have not had a kiss like that in about…. Well never actually it was different. Ohh god, and what’s your boyfriend going to think of you kissing a different guy?” Demetri said teasingly. I kind of laughed, and then moved in a little closer to Demetri just an inch apart.
“Actually I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t have a boyfriend. And well as for the kiss, let’s just say I am a very talented person. But then again, I guess you will never know how great it would have been if I was actually awake, now will you Demetri? And how do you think Veronica would like to hear about you kissing her #1 most hated person of all?” I countered with a seductive smile.

For a moment or so Demetri just looked thoughtful. Then he rested his soft hand on my cheek.
“Are you sure I will never know? Are you absolutely 100 percent sure about that Liyra?” he asked me, his warm breath on my face I immediately opened my mouth to answer but, nothing came out. Then I just shook my head ‘yes’. Demetri kind of laughed then he turned his head to the side a little smile playing on his lips. I wanted to ask him what was so funny but, I could not find my voice. And before I knew it Demetri very softly and carefully pressed his lips to mine. At first I just sat there and waited for him to pull back but the kiss was so sweet and soft I could not resist. Very consciously I kissed him back, I watched as his eyes very slowly closed and mine did the same as I wrapped an arm around his neck and pulled him in. Very carefully I opened my mouth to him and loved the sensational tingle as our tongues touched and mingled. Then I felt something kind of poky and slowly I pulled out of the most delicious and most anonymous kiss of my life. Demetri looked surprised, pleased, and there was something new in those mysterious eyes of his, want maybe? His cheeks were flushed and his breathing was kind of ragged.
“What was that?” I asked.
“I kissed you.” He said simply his deep voice sounding husky and seductive. I nodded.
“Yea I know that. And I kissed you back. I meant what pocked me?” I asked trying to get my breathing under control.
“Oh.” He said then very carefully he gave me a full smile. Showing me his extended fangs, they looked sharp and shiny. And this may sound kind of strange but, in that moment I had never seen something so magnificent, so beautiful, so dangerous, or wanted something so much in my life.
“That is…? Really… hot? “I said simply then I pounced down off of the couch.

He was so shocked to see me on top of him pushing him down on the ground. I kissed his neck very gently first then worked my way to his mouth very careful not to get pricked by his fangs. Then the kiss deepened as he realized this was what I wanted. Once our mouths opened up to each other again I knew I was going to get pricked by one of his fangs, and I didn’t really care at all. Then a few seconds later I felt the pointy fang prick my lip. And immediately I was rolled and was no longer on top of Demetri but was now being pinned on the ground by him. He had a gleam in his eyes and there was no question in my mind what it was. It was pure want and hunger. I leaned up trying to kiss him just one last time, but was immediately lying on the ground by myself. Demetri was now on his feet his back to me and he was taking deep breaths.

Slowly I got up and walked over to Demetri and laid a hand on his shoulder. Then Demetri slowly turned and took my hand off his shoulder into his hand then laid it on his chest. There was only a very faint heart beat.
“You feel that? That’s not human.” Demetri murmured looking down at the ground. I nodded then held up my free hand and lit it up with power and waved it in front of Demetri’s face.
“Neither is that.” I murmured then lifted his face so he looked me in the eyes. I kind of gasped when I looked up into Demetri’s eyes to see that they were now a raging red, some odd shade between fire and blood. It was fascinating. I lifted my hand up from under his chin to his cheek right below his eye.
“Your eyes, it’s amazing. There beautiful, how do you do that?” I asked quietly. He kind of shrugged and turned away from me yet again.
“I don’t do it on purpose. It’s just where my vampire blood and witch blood is mixed. Vampire’s eyes are usually always Red or Black. But witches eyes are always colors like Sky Blue, Honey Golden, Forest Green, or a Brown so dark they look Black. So mine used to be Honey Golden and then I got attacked by a vampire and TaDa, now they
