Clara trusted her intuition so much that it saved her life and never failed her, her sage perfume didnt have any effect on her it was though she was never even one to begin with.
Her heart beat steadily like that of humans and her caramel skin bathed warmly under the sun rays, something no fledging can do.
"One is sure, she's hot
"And she knows things she shouldn't.
"Maybe she just said because it was a common thing among us." The brown haired man said.
"Tyson she knew your name" Clara was genuinely worried, from what an elder had said, Vlad stole secrets during their ongoing war years. The knowledge in that book was something nobody should try as it is an abomination to test it out.
Vlad was ignorant and used a forbidden technique of snatching a human body. The success rate decreases the more the technique is used and so far Vlad did something wrong.
Clara sighed, she was her ideal type. Her eyes, her little sassy comments and the way she made threats seem like flirts.
"We need to kill her Tyson, that's the mission.
"From what we know, she likes to eat, are you sure she's not just a bogarts or a faun. Because she eats a lot of food, like most of the time she has something in her mouth, so we can poison her.
"Sounds authentic. Lets not try it directly."
Jenna enjoyed eating, she didn't look any different with the kind of food she had. One of the many reasons was that she didn't feel the need to eat or drink but she did anyways especially when it wouldn't have any effect on how she looked not that she cared.
"You shouldn't have gone to that party alone.
"It was nice actually."
"Vlad children wants you dead, word have it that they hired witches
"I met one yesterday afternoon, and I saw her in the party.
"What happened at the party.
"Whatever happens in parties.
"Did you take a drink or anything from her
"No." he sighed when he answered, she took another sip from the juice box.
"...but she kissed me and left something too _ in my mouth, I think it's meant to kill me at some point." She pointed at the Maroon colored bean on the paper towel.
"Do you know what this is?" Hector eyes widened when he saw it.
"This is suppose to kill any human or turn one into a vegetable. This is Bekgion Bean, it feeds on blood. Once ingested, every artery and vein carry blood will have it twigs inside and your heart will have it flower in it.
"What a beautiful death, poetic."
"Only witches know how to plant one, it's useless on normal soil.
"Hmm, I see. It will grow in the blood of the wicked tho."
"How did you know? Did she tell you?"
"I just know, since it feeds on blood, why not plant it on blood and take the seeds from the flowers?"

Clara was taken aback when she saw the familiar figure, it was cloudy but she was there, at the corner of the pool. Her eyes was closed, this was the exclusive part of the part house.
Jenna took another puff from the black and gold detailed cigarette between her fingers, she felt ripples in the hot water and slowly opened her eyes.
She approached her slowly, the puff of smoke cleared and she could see her face clearly as she approached her
"How are you not dead?" Clara asked, they were awfully close. She could almost taste the caramel flavor smoke that came out of Jenna.
"I hate beans." Jenna shrugged. Clara watched her intently, it didn't seem like she want revenge or anything, she seems relaxed, too relaxed.
"Did you know before then that I was going to poison you?"
"Not really, I was hoping you wouldn't."
"But I did."
"Yeah you did."
"You could kill me here right now, you have the resources to cover it up."
"You're not enemy, you're likable and it's not fair if you pull witches into the crossfire. It could get very nasty.
"I have a contract to end you.
"You can't kill me, not now not ever. You would never have a contract with vermin's like that. That doesn't mean you should let me on on your great plan
"You want something.
"You want something.
"I want to meet your elder, I've got questions for her."

He didn't like this one bit, he sighed yet again. Left for him he would be using his free time to catch up on sleep he has been deprived of during the tour, but instead he's at the airport waiting for her.
Half an hour ago, Aunt Jumy called his manager who gave him the phone. She practically blackmailed him into picking Seo from the airport, it was another way of telling him that his idoling days are numbered
It was obvious that she was trying to matchmake them again, the first time was years ago when he was about to transfer to the states to finish high school there, he remembered when she cried that she didn't want him that she would rather die than spend the rest of her life with this lanky boy with braces.
Tae agreed he didn't look that great back then, he was a late bloomer and could somehow see where she was pointing, but he didn't care he'd rather marry anybody but her.
He sighed for the nth time, Joohyun was driving. He was more scared of Aunt Jumy than him, she ran the agency and had the power to make him into doormat if she wishes so, Joohyun knew how Tae could be, he practically begged for him to go.
"Please be cool, besides she's your childhood friend. Just see this as a reunion than a date.
"You advise would go a long way for me man." He stated sarcastically.
"She's a beauty and also a star like you so it's like it is meant to be."
"I'm not going out with Seo, at least not In this life." He said firmly before closing his eyes to rest his head from the headache he had the moment his Aunt requested a favor, this was barely a favor.
