CHAPTER 14

Dressed in all crimson, Elizabeth checked her hair and makeup one last time before heading downstairs. “Are you sure this is a good idea?” Her mother asked as soon as her foot hit the kitchen floor.

“Mom. We’ve been over this. He wants to prove to me he is changing. I want to dig for information. What better way to get that?”

Huffing loudly, “Look you're… Well, you're vulnerable when it comes to him! Can’t blame me for being worried.” She cupped her daughters face in her hands and gave a quick kiss on her forehead.

Holding her hands, Elizabeth replied, “I’m fine mom. I’ll be careful.” She pulled back and did a quick twirl, “How do I look?” She smiled innocently.

Sari’s eyes glistened, “Beautiful as always honey. Be safe.” Elizabeth waved as she left the house.

Elizabeth had never been to Devlon’s house, so she pulled up the GPS app on her phone, typed in the address, and chose the easiest route. The phone spoke out, “Turn right on Jonson Street.” She chuckled and thought, great a road I've been down a hundred times, I should know where I'm going.

When she pulled up twenty-eight minutes later, Elizabeth found herself looking at a Tudor style home with a decent sized front yard with a circle driveway and a large weeping willow in the center. The dark red brick home was starting to be covered with wild ivy, giving the house even more personality. Elizabeth parked at the edge of the drive for a quick retreat, just in case, locking her car she walked up to the door. Grabbing the gargoyle door knocker, the young witch felt the tingle of power held inside it. Giving three knocks, Elizabeth stepped back and waited. She could hear voices inside and music playing in the background. Looking back at the driveway, she noticed only one other car, a red Jeep, not a familiar vehicle to her. Where were all the other cars? She mentally asked herself.

When the door finally opened it was her brother Jeremy who stood in front of her. Smiling he wore black pants with a black jacket and underneath a crimson colored shirt. He chuckled, “Looks like we planned this. I guess great minds do think alike.”

She had to smile because they did match, and her brother did look nice, “Evening Jeremy.” He motioned her in.

“Come on in and join the festivities.” She looked back at him with a quizzical expression, “We thought for your first time over, you might feel more comfortable with a house full of people. We have many others here as well, just to show our sincerity.”

She could hear Edom and Devlon’s voices coming from the back of the house and headed in that direction when she noticed Jewel in the side room. Stopping instantly, she turned to go in and greet her friend. As she walked up, Jewel looked shocked to see her. “Well, hello.” She called out and gave Elizabeth a quick hug whispering to her, “be careful. They are tricky.
