Black Dove: Chapter 19

Chris P.O.V

I stood on a insolated balcony, why? Party= loud noises, bright lights and two many people talking at once. Translation: not my "thing". I had heightened senses, which included sight and sound, so I was more sensitive to bright light and loud noises, it made me nauseous, so I retreated to the balcony before I was about to puke.

"Hello why are you standing out here?" I turned around to see Stefanya, that famous designer or whatever.

"Because want to." I scowled, I didn't trust her very much and I wanted her to know that.

She gave me a friendly smile. "I got the name of your friend, but not yours."

"My name's Archie Scotts." Which technically, isn't a lie, long story. The last thing I wanted to do was give her my name, names have power.

"Well then nice to meet you Archie, I'm Stefanya."

"Charmed."

"Well enjoy the party." She said while turning around and heading back into the crowds of people.

A few minutes later, I heard Mao's name being called. I turned around to see Stefanya dragging Mao into a room. Naturally I followed them. I hid behind the door when the lights blew, surrounding everything in darkness.

I could see perfectly in the darkness, so I watched as Stefanya plunged a knife into another girl and then put the knife beside Mao.

"AHH! That girl just killed Sofie!" She screamed.

I stood in shock as I saw Mao being dragged away by two police officers. I turned to Stefanya, for a moment she was smiling.

"You, your the murderer." I conforted her.

"Now, now Archie. No need to get hostile."

I put my hand to my sword getting ready to pull it out at anytime.

"There's no need for that. Stay calm and your going to forget everything you just saw. We don't want to ruin the surprise now do we?" She said. Her words were powerful, I unwillingly started following what she said. Was she charmspeaking me?!

"Now forget." She insisted.

Suddenly my mind went blank as if I was forgeting something, I stood in wonder on how I got here, and what was happening.

"What happened?" I asked her.

"Your friend she killed someone, shame she seemed like a nice girl." Stefanya replied.

"I never knew Mao was like that." I sighed.

"Those criminals deserve to rot in jail. Isn't that right?" Was it me or did I see a flash of enjoyment in eyes for a moment?
