Chapter 67 - Sixty - Seven : Mind Games With You

Sabrina watched with eager anticipation as the ink traveled slowly down the map.

Just a little more, just a little more, she chanted, hands clutched at her side and eyes concentrated intensely on the map.

All of a sudden, a cool breeze whizzed by , chilling her skin and disrupting the flow of the ink.

Sabrina gaped at the scene and froze, her one time use spell !

An outburst, sharp with anger and frustration burst from her involuntarily , daunting Dan into silence.

"You! " Sabrina roared, grabbed the nearest blade from the magnetic wall strip mounted on the wall above the counter and hurled it at him.

Dan tilted his head to the side, the knife barely missing him and plunging deep in the wall.

He had yet to recover from the first strike when she charged towards him, attacking him with brute force.

" My spell " Dan used telepathy to read her mind but it left him confused. He wanted to read her mind further but her brutal attacks were becoming distracting, he couldn't concentrate.

"Do you have a fetish of hitting me? " He teased, blocking a blow laced with magic that would've crushed his sternum if she had succeeded.

He had being so frustrated lately that the only thought he had was visiting her. Just like old-times, she would put on a pot of coffee and they would sit by the patio and make small talks but her outburst of profanity had aroused him from his unattainable reverie.

"Were you born to ruin my life?! " She raved, her incessant attack gaining tempo.

Sabrina thought she was gaining the upper hand until he disappeared and suddenly came up from behind, wrapping his arms around her neck in what could easily be considered a?chokehold.

"Let me go! " She struggled frantically but Dan was a lot stronger than her.

"Fine " Dan breathed before he let go, spun her around with full gusto and pressed her body close to his .

"What do you think you're doing? " She questioned wide-eyed.

"I miss you " Was all he said but she threw back her head in a mocking laughter.

"Did you hit your head somewhere? we broke up like fifty years ago , now let go! " She bellowed, pushing her hands against his chest all to no avail.

"I'm sorry " Dan said all of a sudden stunning her.

Her frantic pushing ceased and she looked up towards him with a confused expression .

He continued "I'm sorry for giving up on us, I am insanely sorry for leaving you stranded on Antarctica and I'm crazily sorry for doing this "

Before she could comprehend what he was talking about, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Sabrina stared on wide-eyed and stupefied , only closing her eyes when she felt his soft lips move against her's.

The kiss was full of longing and aggressively romantic that she had to wrap her arms around his neck for support.

Dan kissed her with fervent heat and need, as if addicted to the taste of her lips and she responded to him actively of her own volition.

Sabrina felt she was on fire, her vein throbbed and her heart hammered against her chest as if it would explode soon.

She was so lost in this ecstasy that it took only his lips brushing her neck to pop her back to reality.

" Oh my God " She gasped, pushing hard against his chest and this time he released her willingly.

Sabrina gripped her hair frustrated, she glared at Dan "What do you want from me? "

"Do I only need to meet you when I need something from you?" Dan retorted.

She faced him, hands akimbo " What do you want me to think then? You come out of nowhere after fifty years and arouse feelings I long buried, huh? Tell me, what do you want from me? "

Dan wanted to retort back but he was surprised to find himself tongue-tied, he didn't know the right words to use.

"Just as I thought " She said, with a low, pensive laugh.

She ignored him and grabbed the crumpled up map on the kitchen countertops and tossed it onto the waste bin basket.

"I'm sorry for ruining your spell " he apologized.

Sabrina continued her silent treatment but suddenly froze, she never told him she was working on a spell. She slowly turned to face him

"Have you being reading my mind? "

"Turned out that way " He replied curtly

"Turn it off " She insisted

"Why? " He smirked " Do you feel exposed? Is there no way to hide those feelings you conceal the most? "

Dan was taunting her on purpose.

"What do you want from me! " She yelled, tired of his games

"I want you ! " He bellowed back but Sabrina wasn't one to fall for his lousy tricks.

"Look here Dan " She stated " I'm not a human bolster you use for support when you're weak and down. Fine, I forgive you but whatever happened between us is in the past and remains in the past. We are never going to work out and that's the plain truth. So don't try to use me for your silly mind game "

Dan moistened his lips and ran his hands through his hair. How was he going to explain to her he wasn't fooling around. Ever since, that day he summoned her for the first time in a long time, he's being unable to have a peace of mind.

Then when the blood drinking incident occurred, he realized how much he missed her , how much he wanted and valued her crazy thoughts running through his head right now.

"How should I make it up to you? How should I show you that I really meant what I said " He said and tried to approach but she turned and snapped

historical

"Nothing! I need nothing! Just leave me the hell alone! "

Dan gulped uneasily, she really meant it.

He imitated taking a deep breath and said "Fine then, see you around "

"I hope I don't see you around " She spat giving him a sideway glance.

Dan smiled at her "I'll be back " and disappeared.

She clutched her fists and shut her eyes tight chanting slowly as if her life depended on it ,

Not now, not now.
