Chapter 111
We all stood silently as Sharma entered the room where we were supposed to meet her. It was a small meeting room with a large table and chairs surrounding the table. Sharma did not hide the fact that she was staring at me with her large doe eyes as she took a sit without being told to do so, it was as if she owned the place or something. She surely did have a lot of confidence for such a tiny woman. The King did not seem to mind though as he took a sit next to her , I took a sit close to Amara and Trevor. Honestly I was kind of uncomfortable sitting next to a witch, anything could happen with their kind like being cursed or something.
Witches were known to be very notorious with their magic, they could trick you easily and make you see what they only want you to see or they could hex you making you lose your mind. Some witches dealt with magic while others dealt with herbs and medicine- those witches are called the green witches. They might seem better than the others but trust me all witches can be dangerous for instance the garden/green witch can make medicine to heal or poison to kill you instantly. Others deal with worse like Sharma, she does black magic which is the worst of all. Magic that involves blood which is why they call it blood magic, these witches do a lot of sacrificing whether it its human sacrifice or animal sacrifice. They call upon darkness, I did not want to be any part of that. When my parents died and I started taking care of myself I made it my goal to know everything about the other species so I read a lot.
"I take it you called me here because you are having a little trouble with your new friends" Sharma said with a slight smirk on her face.
Alexander looked at her seriously "Yes, the banshees. I thought we had an agreement Sharma, you keep us in the loop about our threats and you get to live on my land without any problems"
"Oh Alex...I seriously just found out about the banshees recently. They are quite tricky because I couldn't even feel their presence-let me correct myself my King...I cannot feel their presence even now but fortunately I know quite a bit about these hybrids"
"How is it possible that you-a witch cannot feel their presence on our land!" Vladimir said angrily. He was really annoyed with witch for some reason, I was guessing it was more personal.
"Magic..black magic" she replied him calmly
Karen sighed, she sounded annoyed too "They have a witch working with them as well. This is bad!"
"yes, It is worse than we thought. However it does prove one thing, one of my enemies has something to do with this if not all of them" Alexander said, "Can you find out who it is?" he asked Sharma.
"I can try but this is black magic going against black and we do not know how powerful or weak this witch or warlock is. So I will not make any promises." she said honestly.
I cleared my throat and everyone looked at me, I ignored their stares because I was not going to be intimidated by any of them. "What are they...these banshees? Do they have a weakness?" I asked Sharma.
She smiled at me, I tried not to shrink in my seat-there was something creepy about that smile "They are hybrids, a combination or rare werewolf breed and a siren"
"A siren? like a mermaid ? Are you fucking kidding me," Vladimir said with a scoff
Marcia squinted her eyes at the witch "Mermaids are real?" she asked in disbelief
"Oh wow, great...this is just great! What else is real ...fucking unicorns" Amara exclaimed and I widened my eyes at her. She could really be loud at places where she wasn't supposed to be loud at all like in front of a King.
Sharma just looked at me as she brushed everyone else off "If werewolves are real and witches are real...warlocks are real then I do not think you should be surprised that mermaids exist especially these type of mermaids and they are not nice at all."
"How is it possible that a mermaid and a werewolf had a banshee?" I asked curiously, honestly stranger things kept happening in this world-it was really a whole new world.
"Ozaak ,he created an abomination to this earth. He made the banshee by taking the sirens ovaries and he fertilized them with the werewolf seed. You can only guess the rest."she said with a sigh while folding her arms and relaxing on her chair.
" of course,he is still trying to make weapons against us" Vladimir shook his head
Alexander frowned "He already has" he narrowed his eyes at the witch "Tell us more about these creatures"
"Well I'm sure you all know that the screeching sound they make could kill a normal human being and hurt you. They also produce lethal poison, it runs through their veins so one bite from them or a simple scratch from them you are as good as dead really unless you get rid of the toxins fast enough but most people don't get enough time. " she explained
" so what is their weakness?, how do we get rid of them? " I asked. I honestly just wanted this to be over.
She smiled at me again, that sinister smile that will have ur blood rushing. "you capture one and figure it out, isn't that what you humans do. What do you call it, experimenting."
"okay so let's capture one... I mean we already know if we burn them they will die but we need to know what makes them weak and slow" Karen said and I nodded my head in agreement.
If they were being used as a weapon that meant there were more and more of these things. Burning a few was not going to help us much, we had to make a solid plan.
"great so that's it for now, the witch stays here until the banshee problem is solved" Vladimir said as he stood up.
Sharma did not protest, she kept staring at me for some reason. I stood up to leave as I felt some tension in the room. As soon as I was on my feet a voice invaded my head. It was the witches voice.
"There's something in your blood, raven" she whispered... It was like a soft wind or a breeze brushing against my ears softly. I immediately froze in my spot.
