Chapter Nine

It’s Wednesday evening, meaning I can finally relieve some of the many stresses I’m feeling in a productive manner as dance class gets under way. It’s as if the instructor knows I need something high energy because unusually we’re doing a whole lesson on Latin, which really gets the heart pumping. The lights are turned low and the music turned high, so the grubby Community Centre floor becomes our stage. I must be throwing myself into moves more than usual because my instructor does something very out of character and compliments me. Mrs Upton is not a woman to give praise lightly. She used to be a dancer in the West End so she’s fierce. Even in her forties she still has that slim, petite, delicate frame but don’t let that fool you, she’s a pit bull when she wants to be.

As I stop for a water break and reach for my sports bottle, my bracelet catches my eye. My star charm is glowing red. I sharply glance around the hall in every direction, really hoping it’s Jessie; even if it is a bit pervy to have snuck into my dance practice. I bend down to my bag, dabbing the sweat from my face with a towel, diverting attention from the fact that I’m sending a text on my phone; Mrs Upton does not approve of distractions.

‘Are you here at my dancing? Xxx’

‘No but what a great idea, bet you look hot x.’

‘Can you ever just be serious? My alerts gone off, there’s something here xxx’

‘I’ll be right there x.’

I hadn’t quite meant for him to come here, Upton will go mad! I don’t have time to respond though as she’s heading back over in my direction. I slide my phone back out of sight, take one last swig from my water bottle, then spin to head back to my spot before she can reach me, pretending I hadn’t seen her approaching.

Of course, it does not take Jessie long to arrive and in typical fashion he just walks in like he owns the place. I glare at him as if to say what are you doing? He just grins and walks straight over to Upton. She’s turning red as though she’s about to explode at him but then Jessie looks her in the eyes and she’s subdued, instantly. The fool’s only influencing her in front of a room full of ordinaries. Idiot! However, she just smiles back at him then shouts over to me that I am dismissed. I don’t hang about to see if anyone’s found it weird, I just grab my bag and hurry out the door.

“What are you playing at?” I ask hitting him on his arm, clearly not bothering him at all but it makes me feel better.

“I’m not leaving you in there when there’s something potentially evil around.”

“You do realise I’m about to be head of a coven. I don’t need you to swoop in and save me.”

“I know you don’t need it, witchy. I do.
