Chapter Seven ★ Cursed

Heh. He fainted. In times like these you really have to just laugh otherwise you’ll get too uptight.

Pearl stood there frozen with fear and regret plastered all over her face. As for Ray? Well he continued to stay out of my sight. Not sure why I haven’t seen him and why he’s hiding from me.

I muttered to Pearl, “Smooth. Real smooth.”

Her face flushed, “Shut up.”

“You’re not the one that’s cursed.” I said. Then needled her some more, “Guess you’re gonna have to deal with the fact that your bestie has a shark face.”

“Non.” Ray replied and stepped out from the shadows. He whirled around in front so that I could see his gorgeous body highlighted in the fluorescent lights.

He stood there with his fingers held up in a cross like configuration. I raised my non-existing eyebrow and said, “I’m not a vampire.”

“You’re cursed.” He replied and kept his fingers in a cross configuration.

With a sigh I rolled my eyes then tried to get up. Oh that’s right. I’m belted to the bed. Do these guys seriously think that I’m going to go on some crazy blood frenzy and eat them?

A look about the room told me yes… yes they did believe that I would do just that. Still I struggled and wiggled to try and make the restraints a little looser.

Ray came over and pushed down on my shoulder. He remarked, “Non. You will sit still until we fix this… this… tragedy.”

“I’m not dead.” I replied. “I just happen to have a face of a shark instead.”

He faced away from me. The muscles in his jaw clenched as he pulled his hand to his chest and made a fist. There was more to the story than what they were telling me and frankly I’m tired of being left in the dark.

“Can y’all stop pussy footing around and tell me already?” I hollered.

“Shhh.” Pearl hushed me. “Quiet.”

“Why?” I asked.

She leaned in on the ashen remains of the scrolls that laid on the counter top and replied, “Because your father doesn’t know… yet.”
