Wesley got a good look. Justin. The mans clothes were stained, his hair greasy. His sunken eyes were threaded with scarlet so densely they appeared pink.
Look whos here. The witch. Justin said.
Darla didnt move. She didnt flinch.
Curses fell from Wesleys lips as he raced forward.
Come on. Leave her alone. Justins friend pulled on his arm, but Justin wiggled out of his hold.
Are you afraid of a little spell? I tell you all we need is a bit of her blood, dab it around the boat, and well be protected. You cant back down now. You hold her. Justin took out his knife and waved it at her.
As above so below. As within so without, Darla chanted her hands raised and fingers stretched toward them. Let me see, how to finish the curse. I can make you into toads. No, that wont do. Youd give the little creatures a bad name. Something more particular to you.
The two men grew paler by the minute.
Ah yes. I can make your ballocks fall off. Of course, Im not proficient with this spell, so youll never know when it will happen, when you bathe, relieve yourself, or other more intimate moments.
A well-practiced evil grin spread across her face that left no doubt she enjoyed the torment she inflicted. She stretched her arms and flexed her fingers reaching toward the two men.
Yes, that will do.
Justins friend took off running down the lane. Darla lowered her arms.
Oh, what a pity hes gone. The curse is specifically for two people. Her brow wrinkled. Ah, but Im sure I can refocus it all on you.
Darla raised her hands again. This time she pointed at Justins crotch. Her expression intense.
The drunk squirmed. His eyes lit with fear. Slowly, he lowered his knife.
Wesley took advantage of the mans preoccupation and worked his way behind him. As soon as he was in place he tapped the drunk on the shoulder.
Justin gave a small yelp. When he turned, Wesley threw a right fist across his chin and laid him flat. Satisfied the man was out, he marched over to Darla and grabbed her hand.
Where are you going? What were you thinking? And what is this nonsense about casting a spell?
You sound like my father. In what order do you want me to answer those questions?
Her angry tone startled him. Did she think she could stop Justins attack with words?
What I do is none of your concern. She turned to move on.
Wesley caught her elbow and hauled her around to face him. She stared at him and said nothing. He didnt move. He could be just as obstinate.
He thought I was a witch so I obliged him. She shook her hand free and stormed away.
One minute, Im not done. He caught up with her.
Ballock, Wesleys voice was low. What do you know about, about ballocks?
She stopped so abruptly he bumped into her.
Its a mans most valued possession. Threatening that would make him reconsider his actions.
