69: Which Witch is which? – Pt. 4

Victoria sat on the sofa across from Derrick and herself, nervously tapping her foot as they waited for Brad to join them. Mike paced the room. His nerves hadn’t settled having met his partner’s twin. “So…Victoria,” Victoria started, glancing over at her other half. “How much of what happened do you remember? Because I’ve been trying and I gotta say…” 

“Look, I don’t know what this is or even if it’s real. That…thing back at the docks—it had glowing eyes. There is no way that’s possible, right?”

“Victoria? Victoria!?” Derrick shouted as he rushed into Devereux’s office.

“She’s gone,” Brad said, holding an icepack to his head wound as both Mike and Derrick stepped inside.

“What happened?”

“Someone took her.”

“What do you mean someone took her? Who took her?” Derrick demanded, inching closer to the demon with balled fists.

“We were attacked. She was in a trance, things were going fine. I heard a commotion downstairs and something…exploded so I attempted to wake her. Next thing I know, I’m knocked unconscious. When I awoke, she was gone.”

“Shit,” Mike cussed as he dropped onto the sofa behind Derrick. “He came for her.”

67: Which Witch is which? – Pt. 2

“It’s important to remember to breathe,” Brad Devereux coached Victoria as he prepared to put her under. “Focus on what you know is real. Try not to allow your emotions to cloud your logic. The way this works, I will try and show you things to make you doubt yourself; make you suffer and trick you into doing what I want you to do.”

“Which is what exactly?” she asked, clenching her fists at her side.

“Well,” Brad smirked as he moved in front of Victoria, “That’s for me to know and you to find out. Are you ready?” She took a deep breath and Brad could see the fear and hesitation in her eyes. “We don’t have to go through with this.”

“No, we do. I’m ok,” she said with a heavy exhale. “Let’s do this.”

66: Which Witch is which? – Pt. 1

“Are you sure about this, Vik?” Mike asked, sliding out of his pickup truck as he approached the security fence with her. They stood outside of Brad Devereux’s large mansion, staring up at the door and waiting on someone to answer their call.

“Positive. One thing those trials taught me is that I’m not as ready as I’d like to be. If there is a chance that I will come up against any supernatural being I’ve no experience with, I need to at least try and prepare.”

“Yes but, how is talking to this guy gonna help you?”

39: Truth and Consequence – Pt. 3

“Who’s a vampire gotta kill to get a bloody drink around here?” A tall, blonde haired man standing beside Victoria growled in a thick English accent as he turned and rested against the bar. Leaning towards her she could see the ice blue chill of his eyes and the fangs that stuck prominently from either side of his jaw as he smiled seductively at her.

24: Pink Diamond Heist – Pt. 3

“Not the dead guy,” Mike responded matter-of-factly as he dropped a stack of papers on the conference room table in front of Victoria. “That guy you called me about last night, Brad Devereux, he’s connected. I’m talking dinners with Senators, golfing with the mayor even fishing trips with the governor for Christ’s sakes.”

“But ‘connected’ doesn’t mean he’s clean.”
