Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 196

　　Thaddeus POV

　　I sent Orion and Ryland down to keep Evelyn distracted. I knew if she found out Amara and I were sneaking off to find Bianca she would want to come. Once I felt she was distracted, I rang Amara’s phone letting it ring three times before hanging it up. Amara mists into the room within a few minutes of me calling. I wish I had figured out how to do that, she had been doing it since she could walk and it made hide and seek a real bitch when we were kids.

　　I press my finger to my lips, listening out for Evelyn. I could hear them in the kitchen. Amara holds out her hand. “She is distracted for now” she tells me and I nod to her, taking my sister's hand. The room disintegrating around me before I feel the suction of her magic zapping us into another destination which was her hippy style bedroom.

　　“Did you tell mum?’ I ask her sitting on the end of her bed. “No, if she comes it won't end well” Amara tells me and I nod.

　　“You sure you can get in there?’ I ask her and she thinks for a second.

　　“I know I can get us in the cell because I have seen it now, but where we end up exactly I am not sure. We could be walking into a trap, I can't see anything past coming into the cell”

　　“What do you mean?” I ask her.

　　“I mean ever since you brought me back my magic has been dwindling, like it isn't at full strength. I have been missing heaps. Sometimes I can’t even see the next day, let alone what the future holds anymore”

　　“You didn’t think to say anything?” I ask her a little worried.

　　“No, Bianca and I had been trying to figure out why, we do have a theory though” She admits.

　　“And what's that?” I ask her.

　　“Since bringing me back, my magic is stronger the closer I am to you, like my power source runs off your energy now, when your magic was gone sometimes it was impossible for me to draw magic unless I had fed or pulled energy from the elements, my own magic is no longer easy for me to draw on” I think over her words.

　　“I do have a question for you though, how has your mood been since having your magic back?”

　　“Good for the most part, the darkness tries to bleed into me but I have gotten better at forcing it away. Why?”

　　“When you brought me back, it used a massive boost of your power and I think some of mine may have bled into you”

　　“You think I stole your magic?” I ask her. Amara shakes her head.

　　“No, I think mine mellowed yours out like balance in a way, you didn’t take it from I can still feel it. I just sometimes struggle to draw on it, like my battery is running low”

　　“Maybe we can boost it again?” I tell her and she seems thoughtful for a second.

　　“Bianca seemed to think, maybe if I pulled on your magic and boosted yours like you did me, it would reverse it but then that would mean the darkness tainting you again” Kind of between a rock and hard place. Being Amara gets her magic back full strength, but I get the darkness back.

　　“Not now Thaddeus, we will figure it out. Worse case scenario my magic stays weak, I am fine with that as long as you don’t give into the darkness” She says and I nod but I feel like I have stolen from her, Amara always loved her magic and the thought of me ruining it for her upset me.

　　“Did you tell mum any of this?”

　　“No, I knew she would worry, Bianca doesn’t want mum to go to extremes trying to help me. I am fine, so it doesn't matter that much, but you know mum”

　　“We will figure it out,” I told her.

　　“So what next, this is your plan?” I tell her.

　　“Well I am hoping it will be straight forward, in and out”

　　“And if it's not?”

　　“That’s where you come in, devil in disguise” She says her lips tugging up.

　　“Not in your state, your magic is weakened, we don’t even know where we are or what's above us and I need you to get us out of here” Amara says and I see Laura pressing against the brick wall far from my reach.

　　“I am going to enjoy ripping you into pieces next time” I tell her walking toward the bars just as a face I never thought I would ever see again walks over to the cell. Though he was no longer human anymore but a vampire, that much was startling clear by the crimson red eyes that stared back at me, he had a smirk on his face.

　　“Thaddeus, I was wondering when you would stop by” He says, making sure to keep his distance. I feel for my magic letting it build.

　　“Ah ah ah, any electricity you try to play with in there, can't escape past these bars I made sure of it, No, I just want to have a friendly chat” He says before looking past me to Amara.

　　“How’s Bianca she was looking a little parched” He says his eyes going to the back of the cell.

　　“I will make you a deal, you come work for me and I will let your family live” He says and I chuckle at his words.

　　“I was being genuine Thaddeus, a way out before your family becomes involved”

　　“You already involved them, you think I will let you live after what you have done?’ I ask him.

　　“Well something to think about, right now you can't afford to use your magic not after a jolt of 25000 volts of electricity especially if you want to get your Aunt out, though next time I will remember that, I thought it would sit you on your ass, clearly not”

　　I feel my magic surge, electricity zapping between my fingers when I feel a hand grab my wrist before seeing black. Only to materialise back into my living room. Evelyn was playing with a puzzle with Mara. She jumps when we suddenly appear beside her, she looks to the stairs and back at me confused before noticing Bianca on the ground, Amara’s hand still wrapped around my wrist, as she knelt her hand holding Bianca’s.

　　“What the fuck is going on?” She says standing up and picking up Amara. Orion and Ryland run into the room before stopping.

　　“I will get some blood bags,” Orion says, rushing out of the house.

　　“You better start talking Thaddeus” Evelyn says, looking between the three of us.
