Here we go again

At Banshee's house

"Alyssa, you are trying to rush things. I can't just go about casting spells all willy nilly" Banshee could be heard trying to correct her daughter about something.

"Mum, I am not asking you to do much. All I need is just one little spell that I can use on Lakshmi. She is the only thing that is blocking my path right now" Alyssa tried to make her mum understand.

"No Alyssa, the only thing hindering you right now is your laziness. I never expected you to be this lazy.

You are the one that claims you have feelings for Scott so I feel you should be working towards making him like you.

And as for Lakshmi, I feel you just need to get yourself in her good books" Banshee was packing Alyssa's lunch in her school bag while Alyssa was having her breakfast.

"You think I am not trying mum? I am but.." Alyssa suddenly choked on her food.

"But what Alyssa?" Her mum raised an eyebrow as she handed her some water.

"But it's not as easy as you think. Lakshmi isn't the type of person you can easily trick into liking you or doing what you want. She is just…. Well… I don't know how to describe her" Alyssa was getting fed up even by her own words.

"I know Alyssa…. You have to go to school now. When you come back we will talk about this more. And don't forget what I told you…try to get in her good books" she kissed her daughter on the forehead.

At Mia's school

"You have a long face?" Mia blurted out to her friend Lakshmi,who was busy searching for something in her unorganized locker.

"What?" Lakshmi stopped her actions at once as she began to touch her face, checking if it had grown longer than its normal length.

Then she took a sudden pause… It took her a while but she managed to understand what Mia meant by her having a long face.

"It's nothing Mia….I am fine" Lakshmi tried to lie as she slammed the door of her locker.

"Humans normally lie when they feel it's important to…so I am not going to ask you why you are lying" Mia had a faint smile as she opened Lakshmi's locker and began organizing it.

"Did she just tell me plainly that I was lying to her" Lakshmi thought in her head.

"Yes I did," Mia replied as she had already started sorting out Lakshmi's books, putting the big ones beneath and the smaller ones on top.

"I'm not surprised" Lakshmi blinked her eyes numerous times. She knew Mia was reading her mind but she just didn't want to ask any questions about it.

Already the whole situation was messed up, she didn't want any further complications.

"Hey" Alyssa greeted the girls with a box of chocolates in her hand.

"H…ii.." both girls said at the same time, looking so stunned and lost.

"How was your night Lakshmi?" Alyssa had a very big smile on her face.

"It…was…fine. I … guess" Lakshmi had a very confused look written all over her face as she managed to take the box of chocolate from Alyssa.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Alyssa asked.

"Okay fine… I know what you are thinking. You must be thinking I poisoned these right? But no.. I'll prove it" Alyssa added when she noticed that none of the girls had a reply.

She took one of the chocolates and ate the whole thing. But then the bell was rung and all the kids hurried to class.

"Do you plan to eat that?" Mia asked Lakshmi as they both made their way to class.

"Even if a gun was pointed to my head… I won't still eat this" Lakshmi threw the chocolates in the nearest dustbin as she cleaned her hands with the rag in her bag.

When the two girls entered the class, Alyssa noticed that neither of them was holding the box of chocolate and that really angered her. How long were they going to ruin her plans? How much more would she have to try?.

Banshee's POV

At the castle

I rolled my eyes when I saw that the King was in the swimming pool with 6 girls wearing nothing but a p*nt and br* that barely covered them.

I watched as he laid back and rested on the walls of the pool while he sipped his wine, he didn't even take any notice of me.

"Ahem" I cleared my throat so he could realize that I was standing there.

He turned to look at me as he gave them some kind of signal to leave the place.

"You didn't inform me that you were coming" the King slowly made his way out of the pool with a white towel wrapped around his waist.

"I never knew it was now a law for me to inform you about my arrival. I am sorry your majesty" I said as I took a bow.

"Banshee you just.." the King said as he was short of words. Who wouldn't be after such sarcasm had been thrown at them?.

"Have a sit" he offered as I sat on the chair that was well positioned under the shade that was not too far from the pool.

"So what brings you here?... Maybe you want me to continue from where I stopped the other day?" The King looked at me seductively as he brought his face closer to mine in an attempt to kiss me but I stood up from the chair quickly.

"These days.. I feel that you have gone mad or something. Anyways I have come here to discuss the plan… we don't have much time left.

The full moon is almost here" I folded my lips and my eyes as my eyes began to change their colors as I turned away from him facing another direction.

"Sorry.. I never meant to make you upset. But whatever it is you are planning we have to discuss it inside" he looked around to see his guards and maids standing not too far from us.

"Relax.. no one can hear us. I made sure of that" I smirked as I had already casted a deaf spell on the guards and maids even before I made the King notice my arrival.
