Brites' Revenge by Mariana Mendoza (the two towers ebook .txt) 📕

He was definitely going to fit in easily. Maybe I can persuade him and Caden so that he can join the gang. Plans began to form in my mind as I gave him a tour of the place.
“ Have you eaten here before, Terr?” I say when the tour was over.
“ Yeah, I can’t think of a single natural that hasn’t. I love the food here. I can’t believe you serve all types of food here. Blood, raw meat, and other creepy stuff.” he blurts out then blushes when he finishes.
“ Well, I have a lot of different naturals and if I didn’t serve all types of food, how would I manage here and keep it at a five star level? And when my night chef moved, my staff and I were freaking out. So I really hope you’re as good as they say. I need to see how good you are in kitchen in every aspect, not just how good it will taste.” I say seriously. When it came to managing this restaurant, I was serious because that was how I actually paid my bills and paid the others.
“ I totally understand.” he mumbles.
And we got started. I had brought some of the ingredients I had at my house so we didn’t have to use the ones in the kitchen. I told him what to make, helping him sometimes.
He was good.
I don’t mean just great tasty food good but also good in cleaning, health hazards, bossing around, and anything else a chef needed to know. The food was great and since he was a vampire, I knew he could make good blood food. By the time my morning chef came in, which was at seven thirty, I was full and happy.
“ You’re hired. You’ll do good. I just have a curious question for you.” I tell him.
Terris smiles a small smile and nods for me to go on.
“ How can you withstand the sun? I read that you could walk on the sun but I see no magical ring on you.”
“ I’m half vamp and sorcerer. I can do anything a vamp can only that I can walk through the sun. And in sorcery, I can do everything but I don’t tire as easily because of my vampiric side. It looks like I got a win-win for a hybrid.” he scratches his head, looking as cute as ever.
Boy, did he have it all. I got the feeling that I would have to spy on him myself since he was stronger than I anticipated. Or if I couldn’t then I would have to use the best people in the Hackz to actually follow this guy….
Nah, I’ll just do it today.
“ Okay, so I’ll see you tonight. Be on major time and I’ll introduce you to your colleagues.” shaking his hand, I said.
“ Oh, before I leave, while I was bending magic, I noticed something about you.” he mutters. Uh-oh, did he find out so easily. Seriously, why was it that everyone wanted to know what I was? Yesterday first and now today? I walk him out of the kitchen and into my office. Because he already knew I could use magic, I proofed my office so that no one could hear us talking.
“ What have you found out?” I demanded, arms crossed, not really happy.
Terris noticed quickly that I could change moods easily.
“ Oh, I was just wondering if you were human. I mean, I’m very nosy so before I actually work for someone, I like to know what type they are. But While I was trying to figure your type, nothing came out. No magic or shifting abilities. To me, you feel like a normal human. So… are you? A normal human I mean.” he told me, going completely red and shivering with fear. I stood there, in front of him, processing his words. I sighed.
“ Sorry dude, but you’re gonna have to guess like the others. You don’t get special treatment just cause you can cook and the next time you try to find out to find out what type I am or poke into my personal and non-personal business, I’ll have no choice but to fuck you up.”
The hybrid nodded profusely, still shivering. I relaxed a little. I felt immediately bad because of how the kid was reacting to my words.
“ I didn’t mean to scare you. I just don’t like people digging to know about me.” I explain to him.
“ Sorry, it was by accident. I didn’t mean to but when I didn’t see any type of magic or anything that would tell me you’re a natural I was surprised and was curious. I promise it won’t happen again.” he sobbed out.
“ Oh heck, you’re so cute, you know that, Terr?” I told him, patting him on the head. He was so cute that I would love to tease him. I could feel myself getting myself attached t this guy. He would be my little brother is I kept up at this. I would love him to be my little brother. I shook my head, trying to shake those thoughts away. I still didn’t know the dude so I had to be careful. Looks can be seceding, I know that personally.
“ I’ll see you tonight, Terris.” I told him, pushing him towards the door. He shyly grinned at me. I mirrored him the nudged him a little to the entrance of the restaurant. He then walked out by himself.
I waited five minutes before following him. I covered myself with my magic so I would be invisible. It wasn’t hard to use my magic. All I ever did was think of what I wanted it to do and it would do it all by itself. But I never thought that it was also hard for other magical people to actually find out what type I was. The fact that I was the only dragon in the human world was a reason for it. I somehow liked and disliked being the only dragon here.
I snapped out of my thoughts and focused once again to Terris. He was already a ten feet to the North. I followed quietly. He first went to a cheap breakfast place. The place’s name was called Deni’s Brunch Place.
I clearly haven’t heard about it, which was kind of odd for me because I know every single restaurant, both cheap and expensive, in all of Cali. The fact of never knowing this place made me wonder if it was actually a restaurant that I’ve never seen or heard about or its just a cover for his little magic group. I entered the moment he did.
The moment I entered, the view surprised me. The place looked really homey. The walls were bright yellow which made the room bright and calming. There was two brown, worn out couches that were in front of the right wall. There was a lot of chairs and tables and cups.
And there were also a lot of mages, at least I think they were mages. I couldn’t believe about the amount of them. Oh, and did I mention the smell? It stank like hell. There was so much of the same type of magic that it clogged my nose. Yep, that’s right, I can smell naturals which usually helps me identify them easier. I just smell them and for some reason I know what type naturals are. Well, all except for the mages and witches and whatever human or half natural magic user since they all smelled the same to me.
Anyways, since the smell of all the same type of magic, I knew that this must be his little group. I didn’t like or want to snoop around but I had to make sure that he wasn’t a threat to my restaurant or my people and my gang. These guys and girls were wearing robes the color of snow white with a dark purple flower in the middle of their chest. I knew that sign. Terris belonged to the Clematis group.
The Clematis group was a group of witches— er, I mean mages that not only help protect the paranormal world but also to keep them from being found out. They are the most powerful magic users in the human world. To actually see them like this was kind of like an honor, just that I didn’t care about them. I was a dragon and the witch, mage, wizard, whatever humans who could use magic world didn’t really interest me.
All I needed to know if he was spying on me or not. I mean, the thought of him spying on me wasn’t much of a shocker. Most naturals know about me through my restaurant and when they try to figure out what type I am, I get pissy. I’ve become very popular in the natural world because of my mysterious powers and my mysterious past. I’ve also become the richest natural woman out there, which gets on my nerves.
When the supernatural world found out about the gang that I was in, all hell broke loose. A lot of reporters tried to interview them, asking them about what they knew about me and if they knew what type I was. They tried to interview both me and my boss when they couldn’t get anything with my gang. I had to practically hide all day and night. That was when I got so good at hiding and following people without them knowing I’m there.
Its not that I don’t like people to know about me, I just don’t want to be the most wanted person in the world when they find out that I’m a dragon. Its reason enough for me to not tell anyone about me. The only person who knows about what type I am is King. And I preferably would like to keep it that way.
The meeting was mostly about magic and protection and the people they needed to watch out for and the people they either owed or needed protecting.During the whole meeting, Terris didn’t talk about me. I was about to leave so I wouldn’t feel fully guilty when Terris finally caught my attention.
“ Oh, before I forget, I am now part of Brites’ staff.”
I freeze in both anger and curiosity. The oldest member, which was an older man that looked to be about fifty. lifted his eyebrow.
“ And what did you find out, Terrius?” he asked him.
Terrius? What the hell kind of name is that? Terrius.
“ Nothing, yet. Like others of our group have said, her magic cannot be felt or seen and I still have no idea of what she is. I’m still trying to find out who she is.” he replies.
“ Did you at least find out her last name? Or what she does?” the old man asked.
Terris shook his head. “ No. I’ve haven’t had the time to talk to her staff or her gang. I have just barely started and I think by the end of this week, I might have something for you.”
“Fine, you will have a week.” the old man nodded.
“ If I may ask, sir, why is the Clematis so interested in her? Could she be special enough to ask for help. Can we even trust her; enough to tell her about you know what?” Terris asked.
That made me perk up. The Clematis was interested in me? Why did they need my help? Why would I trust them and vise versa? And what is the ‘you know what’? So many questions
