Chapter 12 - Witch Hunter

Calum's dad would constantly look at me during supper. Calum would smile at me, but that was normal. Mali and Joy would occasionally look at me, but with David, it was almost a complete stare. He wouldn't stop looking at me.

"Is-is there something on my face?" I asked David.

"No.. There's not. Sorry," he looked down at his plate, then took a bite.

"Why were you staring at me?" I looked at him sternly. I didn't like that he was staring at me.

"I'm sorry. I was just thinking. I stare when I think. I just focus on this one point so I can think, you know? Sorry," he apologized one more time.

"That's fine," I shrugged, continuing to eat. I looked down at my left hand, and Calum had ahold of it. I smiled at him before eating more.

After supper was over, I decided to leave. I said goodbye to everyone and gave Calum a kiss before walking out. Calum had driven me here, so I didn't have a car. Thank god I didn't need one. I walked into one of the bushes so nobody could see me before I concentrated and transported myself back to the Academy.

After getting back to the Academy, I went into my room. I spent about thirty minutes in there until I heard something unusual. There was then a gunshot. I ran downstairs to see someone that I recognized with a gun. I used my mind control to make him put the gun to his head.

"Don't make me," I warned. "I can make you do it."

"Sarah, you wouldn't," I recognized the voice. I then looked closely at his face in the dark. It was David Hood..

"David.." I covered my mouth in shock. I looked on the floor behind him to see Nan, bleeding out of her chest. That made me cry.

"What's going on here?" I heard Queenie. She came over to where David and I were. She almost screamed.

"Witch hunter!" She exclaimed, and that got Fiona's attention, along with Delia's and Madison's.

"I don't know how much longer I can do this," I told them. Queenie helped me by stabbing her arm multiple times while looking at him, inflicting the wound on him. He screeched in pain, and I winced. This was my boyfriend's dad. It felt so wrong, but he was a witch hunter. I had been trained for situations like this. Delia was calling the police.

Madison took over using her mind control on him to keep the gun at his head. I ran over to Nan and tried my vitalum vitalis out. I held my hands over her chest, trying to heal the gunshot. Within thirty seconds, it was healed, and I used my new-discovered vitalum vitalis to bring her back to life.

She gasped for air right after she came back to life. I cried, being so happy. I exclaimed, "Nan!"

"Sarah.. Thank you," she smiled at me, then a frown formed, "what happened?"

I explained to her what happened, then the police came and took David away. Delia came over to me.

"This is why we don't like you girls telling people," Delia looked sternly at me.

"I never told him, though!" I exclaimed in defense.

"He might've overheard. Were you and Calum talking shout you being a witch?"

"Maybe.." My head hung in shame.

"See, Sarah. You can't just go around talking about it when other people might hear, especially if they're a witch hunter.."

"I didn't know David was a witch hunter! I had no idea!"

"Exactly. Witch hunters are very secretive. They don't just tell you they're witch hunters. They never tell anyone that. That's probably why Calum didn't know," Delia shrugged.

"Maybe Calum just didn't tell you. He's keeping secrets from you.." Madison looked at me, trying to act like she cared. In reality, she was trying to break Calum and me up.

"No. He wouldn't do that. He'd at least say, 'watch out for my dad. He's a witch hunter,'" I told her.

She shook her head, "not if he is a witch hunter too.."

"No! He's not a witch hunter!" I yelled and ran up to my room.

I texted Calum, asking him if I could come over. He agreed, and I just transmutated myself there. I walked in the front door, quickly said hello to Joy, then ran up the stairs to Calum's room.

"Babe.. What's wrong?" He held me in his arms.

"Your dad is a witch hunter," I cried into his chest.

"Yeah..." He bit his lip when I looked up at him.

"W-what? Y-you knew?" I asked, and he nodded. Why would he not tell me?

"Are you a witch hunter too?" I wondered, scared. He shook his head rapidly, "no.. No way."

Flashback~

*Calum's POV*

"Calum, since you're old enough now, you're going to be a witch hunter like me," dad told me.

I shook my head, "I don't want to hurt innocent witches."

"They're not innocent. They're terrible. We need to kill off the witch population," he growled.

"I don't want to. I'm not going to. You can't force me," I spat and ran back to my room.

"O-okay," I smiled after he told me the story.
