Sarah smiled.
"Yes. We all do. But it's impossible to talk to them, Anna. They live together with your mother. Don't you know that Allister hunted them like animals all over the land? E... When I think about what they were like... I'm not sure they'd want to meet you. Your mother ran away, to meet the man she had seen in one of her visions. This caused a lot of discomfort in her family, as she was betrothed to another boy and was banished. Being witches, they hid from her. She searched hard for them, but to no avail. They put a spell on her mother so that neither she nor anyone born from her could ever find them. Of course, this made my job much easier. As soon as I learned that their entire race was linked by the same protective magic, I cast a tracking spell, and Allister went to find each one personally. That took a few years... Their kind was many. His mother came last, as I needed her to trace his blood relatives and... Allister was generous and let me have the honor of ending her life."
Anna didn't move a muscle as Sarah talked about her family. She thought there must still be a way to confront Allister. And if there was, she would find out.
"It seems that this witch my mother was destined to marry was someone very important."
"You idiot. He's considered the prince of the werewolves. Now he hates their king. At the time, he was just the heir to the 'throne'. He was part of a sect, and her fiancé's father was the leader and was training his son to take his place. Until Allister defeated him. Yes, Anna. It's Dester. Allister's brother." Sarah added when she saw Anna's surprised look.
Anna couldn't let that story affect her focus, but Dester could be a good start for her to get revenge on Allister.
"What could Mom do that was supernatural?" Anna asked, just as Judith came in with the tray and left the glass in front of each of them. Alexandre took the opportunity to give her a firm slap on the ass, and she hurried off.
"I've already given you information, for what you paid me." Sarah said as she enjoyed her cocktail.
"If you like this cocktail so much, why don't you buy it with your salary? You don't have any expenses. Or do you?"
"She spends it all on narcotics, and on herbs, with which she prepares strange things, which she drinks, and with which she serves, so that the boys find her attractive." Kate said laughing.
Anna laughed too, and even the impossible happened, too. Caricature laughed.
"And it worked?"
"She's not an ugly woman, but she's only interested in younger men, they only look at a woman of her age if she has money, which she doesn't. I gave her money once, for that. I gave her money once, for this herbal concoction, and when I went to ask for my money back, she said she'd already spent it, and that if Adam had really been drinking, he'd be in love with me... Well, I lost five thousand dollars."
Anna began to feel a crazy euphoria. She wanted to dance. But she held back. She would dance in the privacy of her bedroom. Now she had to finish that confrontation.
"Finish your cocktail, Sarah, and go back to your room, since you're not going to tell me anything else." Anna said, feeling ready, her hormones begging for sex. Asking her to allow herself to be invaded. She thought about sticking something in herself and pleasuring herself. The only object she had that would serve this purpose was her hairbrush. She felt that her vagina must be wet.
"I can tell you more, Anna. My price isn't high."
"What do you want?" Anna asked distractedly. Her desire was really bothering her. Sweat trickled down her forehead.
"Are you feeling all right, Anna?" Kate's voice sounded worried, and Anna struggled to pay attention, finding what Kate said funny. Yes, she felt like asking her for a rubber penis. She knew she had one.
"I'm fine. I think it's... just tiredness."
"Well?" Sarah asked, refusing to be put off. "Are you going to accept my proposal?"
"You haven't said your price yet..." Anna stared at her, wondering what she should do in case she really had done the spell so she wouldn't die. She'd be a freak. She knew she was having a vision, and she always related it to her mother. And he always related his mother to the woman who appeared in his mind with a sad look on her face. Now it was as clear as day that it was his destiny to do everything he had planned, and everything he saw in his vision."
"I want to have a room here in the mansion again, and be treated like family, or at least like one of the bosses."
Caricature and Kate exchanged an amused glance, and Anna was so surprised that she forgot everything she was feeling and thinking, and drank the rest of her cocktail.
"You won't be cleaning toilets in this house anymore, Sarah." Anna said, and stood up, turning to Caricatura. "I need to put something on in my room, is that possible?"
"Music?" Caricatura believed that was Anna's most unusual request.
"Yes. Very lively music."
"I'll put it on, now." He said and got up and left.
"So, can I get my things and go back to the room I occupied before?"
"No. You... You're not going back into this house."
"Then you'll die without knowing your mother's secrets."
"I don't think so." Anna said and looked at Kate. "Can you stay here and keep watch until she leaves? I need to rest for a while."
"I'll see that she goes back to her place." Kate said amiably.
"Thank you." Anna said and was about to leave, when she remembered something she considered important at the moment, but she was distracted by her sensations and didn't even notice. "Bonnie?"
"She's gone to Adam's apartment in Nevada. She needs to sort some things out there, and she won't be here until tomorrow, or when Adam tells her to come.
