The Vampire’s Servant novel Chapter 170

A few minutes later, Gray returned with the cage containing Fenton. I didn’t know how he managed to get it through the office door, but I was glad he did. He was careful as he walked it to the center of the room.

Terry and Elle looked at Fenton curiously. I knew they were aware of what we were doing, but seeing the cat and hearing about the cat were two different things. Gray settled the cage down carefully and Fenton looked around the room.

Preston came in with containers of salt and had everyone get into their positions before he began carefully pouring the circle. I closed the doors to the living room, to keep my vacuum robot from destroying the circle. I went back and stood between Gray and Victor.

“I have to remove my glamour to do magic.” Sean said. “I can’t do both.”

“Go for it, Sean. I want to see what you look like now.” Brooke grinned.

His glamour faded and the lovely green of his skin appeared. His hair turned the more vibrant golden color and he looked a little thinner than he was in his glamour.

“Oh, Sean. You look so good.” Hope gasped.

She grabbed him and hugged him tight.

“Are you okay, Mom?” He asked.

“You smell like melons.” She chuckled tearfully. “I love you, Sean. I will always love you.”

“Thanks, Mom. You should get out of the circle before it’s sealed. We can talk more once this is all over. I’m glad you’re not mad at me.”

“I was never mad. I was just disappointed that you couldn’t talk to me and scared that you were in danger. I’m so glad you’re happy and you feel like yourself more now. Good luck, sweet boy.” Hope kissed his cheek and gave him another quick hug.

Hope went to where Marius, Talia, Rosario, Cam, and Finn were all standing against the wall. They insisted on watching, but needed to be far enough from the protection circle to not risk smudging it. Rosario reached out and grasped Hope’s hand.

“What’s this? Three more witches and Lila? Adding a vampire and a werewolf to your spell? You just can’t accept that nothing will work and you’re stuck with me?” Fenton snorted.

“We’re feeling pretty good about this.” Val replied.

“Oh, I’m sure that will make all the difference.” Fenton scoffed.

We all joined hands. I could feel power flowing already. Even before we started the spell, the power was immense.

“I’ve never felt anything quite like this.” Victor murmured.

“It’s amazing.” Gray grinned.

“This is definitely more power than a normal coven. I can feel the other magics swirling around with our magic. I never knew what vampire, werewolf, and fae magic felt like until now. It’s so different from that of just witches.” Preston said.

“We could cast so many powerful spells with this group.” Lila sighed. “It’s a shame we’re only doing this to get rid of Fenton.”

Fenton started pacing around his cage. If I had to describe it, I would say he looked nervous. It seemed he had finally decided to take us seriously. Maybe he could feel the power too.

Preston started up the chant and everyone joined in. I squeezed Gray and Victor’s hands as the power increased. I noticed that pretty much everyone was holding on a little tighter.

We watched as Fenton started rolling around and yowling. He was fighting the spell. I felt so bad for the kitty who was suffering as Fenton was actually fighting to stay in him.

Why would he fight like that? I thought he said he wanted to be dead. Was it just because he wanted it to be on his terms and no one else’s?

The spell was almost complete. We would keep our connection to each other after the chanting was done. Preston had told everyone it could take a little while to work.

We were all prepared to go for as long as possible to get Fenton out of the cat. I wondered how long it could take. I really hoped it would work.

When the chanting part was over, Fenton stopped writhing and yowling. He stood and laughed.

“I can’t believe you thought that would work. You can’t get rid of me.” He insisted. “I’m stuck here and you’re stuck with me. You can never remove me from this cat!”

“Fenton? Fen? Is that you?” A sweet voice asked.

“Guinevere?” He whispered.

A woman appeared next to the cage. She was small and fragile looking with dark brown hair and a sweet expression on her face. She had the same nose as me and Harmony. This was our great great-grandmother. I felt tears prick my eyes.

“Oh, Fen. What have you done?” She sighed. “Is this why I’ve had to wait so long for you?”

“You were waiting for me? Why? I wasn’t a good husband. I let you die.” Fenton replied.

“Of course I waited for you. I’ve always loved you Fenton. From the first moment I saw you. I refused two other proposals in favor of keeping my arrangement with you.” Guinevere smiled.

“We were just children when we first met. You never told me that.”

“Why would I? You already knew I doted on you endlessly and gave you whatever you requested. You had a big head from it, too.” She giggled. “Why are you a cat? Why did the children tell me you went dark? You promised me when I died that you’d take care of them. Grace told me what you did to her.”

“I gave her the life she deserved. She was an ungrateful child.”

“She was in love, Fen. She told me you took her from her soulmate. I only saw her briefly before she was swept away by a man she called Grigori.” Guinevere scowled.

“Grace and Grigori are together again?” I asked, feeling my heart in my throat.

“Yes. They were meant to be together and now they can be, forever.” She turned to me and covered her mouth with her hand. “Oh, you look just like my Grace did when she saw him. She went from being a battered looking old woman to being a sweet young thing. Are you one of her children?”

“I’m her great granddaughter. My name is Echo.” I told her.

Guinevere looked around the room and everyone introduced themselves and their relationship. When she saw Lila, she frowned.

“Lila.”

“Gwen.”

“Don’t call me that.” She hissed.

“I’m just here to help. I tried to help your daughter, but your husband wouldn’t listen to me.” Lila insisted.
