What should I do?

Not attack?

Attack?!

"Remember it's the same goddamned guy that played us around, it's up to you this time...I'm not deciding for you, not anymore".

"We're not attacking...". I closed my eyes and stared at the already glowing full moon in the skylight. "I'm sorry...all these keeps pushing me against the wall".

"Oh". Minuet rolled his eyes.

Of course I was disappointing...

I always am..

But something doesn't still feel right...

I can feel it.

But what?

"Hey...". My lips twisted into a frown as Minuet wasn't looking me the whole time but at Xander.

Does he hate him that much?

I followed his glare and saw Xander neutralizing some effects of the spell that the creep had cast on him earlier. He had a crimson ring on his left finger and something nasty on his right hand.

Before I knew it, Minuet started saying the exact things Xander was saying.

Like exactly!

My eyes widened. "H-how did you know?".

"Hmm?". Minuet turned to me with a questioning look.

"I-I thought it was only Witch Hunters'...that umm...you know...". I couldn't finish my sentence because I didn't want it to sound like something offensive at the same time.

"The very person that have been with me for a quite long time is saying that I'm a hunter as well?". He choked out a cold laugh and grabbed my neck firmly.

"N-no...". I shook my head slowly.

"If I was a hunter Isabelle...". His eyes narrowed at me for a while before his eyes met my trembling eyes. "You wouldn't even have known me at first because...you wouldn't even have the chance to".

My face went pale in fear.

He let go of me and tilted his head back at Xander.

"Well, my dad was a hunter, but that's not his main priority". He started. "My mum...not a big fan of his work, but she's...not human either".

A-a hunter?!

I really d-did not see that coming...

"I've always wanted to ask about your parents but...I didn't want to look nosy. What happened to them?".

He went silent.

"Did Xander do...do anything?!".

He then gave me a creepy smile and focused back on me now.

"Only one of them survived that night under this same full moon because of Alexis".

"Grandma?!". My eyes widened. Grandma couldn't have done that.

"No, she's the one that brought me up after that". He said.

"Oh". I muttered in realization.

"I'm really...sorry about that Minuet". I sighed. "I never thought of it that way".

I couldn't imagine what Minuet went through in the hands of these persons.

I've to avenge for him big time.

"We're doing it Minuet". I declared.

"Doing?". He raised an eyebrow clueless of my point.

"This...". I inhaled a bit and let the unknown force of nature take over my body, now transforming it to Blair.

Minuet gave me a satisfied grin and transformed to his cat form.

Like a movie, we burst out of the bushes only to give Xander a surprise attack from behind.

"Blair?". Xander said in an uneasy voice.

"Hunters". I spat out and slammed him in the same place where the figure had slammed him before.

"What a surprise....three witches this night? You guys never end surprising me".

What does he mean three witches!?

"Explain your pathetic statement now!". I tightened my fist around his neckline and smirked to see how weak he was looking now.

"So she called for backup?". He choked out a bloody laugh. "How pathetic of her".

"Who's the she?!". I became furious at how be was beating around the bush.

"A very good friend of mine". He snickered.

"And Isabelle?". I pressed on.

At the mention of her, I mean my name, his face went pale but he quickly covered it up with a glare.

"What are you? An interrogator?". He suddenly sounded rude and not playful anymore.

Dang it, I've hit a soft spot now.

I clenched my fist and looked him in the eye.

"I'm with my familiar Xander, don't try anything stupid".

"The ball's in your hands not mine Blair". He sighed. "Feel free to end me".

"I hate how you look happy despite this!". I hissed and slashed my hands into his deep cuts with the intention of making the bleedings resurface.

I was satisfied at how his body trembled in my hands.

No no I wasn't an animal..

Even if I am..

I'm an animal looking for justice..

"Looks like table turned this time huh". He chuckled and wiped the blood dripping from his lips. "First, I find you and now, you find me".

"Stop laughing!". I hissed and gave him a dirty slap. "This situation isn't something to be toyed with like those times!".

Unlike other times he went silent for a while.

"I really wish to laugh more but I've got people to deal with and save at the same time, how bout another time...just you and me". He said in a small voice.

"Like hell I'd let you, don't take me for a fool, young man". I grabbed on the chain wrapped around his neck and trodded into the building with his groaning body behind me.

"Ah, we meet again gorgeous". Xander exclaimed in laughter and smirked at the strange figure that was in the middle of the auditorium.

And he said I was a disgusting whore!

And right there in the very stadium was the item that was once stolen by a stalker sometime. Around the stalker was an indeed complicated and highly structured holographs and glowing black circles of energy. Not even I could go to this length.

What is this madness here?

It looked like cobwebs that have been plastered at every inch and corner of the auditorium. The holographs are just so big!

Now I see what's going on here.

This was the Stalker the entire time?!

That stole my magic and grimoire?!

"Hey you?!". A familiar but yet different dark voice yelled at my direction. "Did you release him from my spell!".

"Me? I want him die even". I turned my glare back to the silent hunter.

"And who are you!". The shadow asked furiously.

"A good interrogating friend of mine". Xander cut in before I could answer.

He just have to be so annoying.

"Have I seen you before?". I tried squinting my eyes at the figure but the lights emerging from her body were too much for me to see.

"Get out before you end up like the loser he is!". She retorted. "I give you three minutes to do that!".

"Excuse me? That is my....I mean...those things over there belongs to one of my witches!". I corrected myself immediately.

Minuet's paws sunk into my skin like to remind me to stay low and not mess up by accidentally revealing my identity.

"I've never seen you before nosy". The figure snorted and removed the hoodie that have been covering her face the entire time. "Neither did I see this within your supposed coven".

My jaws dropped at the person behind the mask.

N-no..

No no no no!

I-It can't be her.

All the time we've spent together..

She was just a normal nice girl like everyone else.

I could almost hear Minuet saying 'I told you so' in my mind.

Was this some kind of betrayal or some kind of...mixup and misunderstanding?

"Y-you". Was the only thing I could mutter under my husky angry breath.
