A Start
By Danielle Urban
It all started a few years ago. My parents were going to deny me one thing.
Lucas McCoy. He and I met at the local coffee shop. I worked there
making the special brewed coffees and he was a regular customer who
came in and would flirt outrageously with all the ladies. But when he tried
it on me it didn’t work. In a way, I intrigued him. Soon, he started to only
but his best efforts into making me talk to him. I thought of him as
arrogant, cocky, and wealthy jerk. But one day a man came in and started
to beat up one of the girls in the shop. Lucas immediately ran to her aid.
He beat the shit out of the man. Long story short, my perspective of him
changed.
“Rose, are you listening to me?” My best friend Maya-belle also known as
Bell asked.
“Sorry, Belle. I got distracted.” She looked at me wondering what
distracted me since we were talking about my baby shower.
“Hey, gorgeous.” Lucas kissed my forehead. Sending tingling sensation
through my body. Only his kiss could do that to me. I still haven’t told
him yet. My family and I were witches. We kept it to ourselves. Lucas,
touched my belly.
“Our little one is going to be great!” He said with a devious grin upon his
handsome face. Instantly, our baby jumped inside me. I guess he knows
his daddy. Bell soon looked worried. I turned just in time to see that man
whom Lucas beat the shit out of along with more men who reeked of
trouble. Fear gripped me instantly. My instincts told me something bad
will happen. And sadly my powers are not at their strongest with my little
one inside me. Lucas turned to the door and he too felt uneasy about all
those men. There was only one of him and ten of them.
“Rose, you and Bell get out of her now.”
Bell didn’t hesitate to take me away out the door. But just as we passed,
the one man recognized me. Sticking is foot out, I tripped. Falling to the
floor, I cried. My poor baby! Anger cursed through me and a blinding
light occurred as thought out of nowhere. Men shouting, screams from the
other people in the shop. Confusion took over me. Until I heard his voice
in my ear.
“Rose, it’s me. Everything is going to be okay.”
Nodding my head. I felt him carry me. Once outside, Bell was there
talking to the police. An ambulance took away dead bodies. On a closer
look it was the men who came to cause trouble. But how?
