Diana’s POV
I jumped Benjamin from behind, pulling on his silky blonde hair with fists full of hair. I knew where to attack him and hurt him the most. Those luscious locks looking swept back all neatly was just calling my name out tauntingly.
"Fuck woman!" Benjamin yelled out, trying to get me off his back, but my skin was slippery from the pig blood so he couldn't get a good grip on me.
I was not better than my brother at fighting so I didn't have a chance against them if I didn't do my dirty fighting. Pulling hair and purple nurples was my thing, it always worked for me so far.
"Don't just stand there, James! Get his feet!" I yelled as Benjamin hit his back against a wall to shake me off. I pulled harder and was surprised he didn't try any witch magic on me. He was probably afraid I'll rip his hair off.
James was frozen in place, shocked as Benjamin cursed me out. I probably looked like a mad woman covered in blood wrapped around Benjamin with his hair in a tight lock in my fists.
Finally, James moved but grabbed me instead of Benjamin. He began to laugh his ass off. I didn't know what was happening so I let go of Benjamin's hair. There was pig blood now in there from my hands. That's what he got for killing Wilbur.
"Why the hair??" He whined, trying to fix it back the way it was styled but it was ruined.
It was then that the white marble I dropped for the third time started to glow from the ground. It laid next to my feet so I bent down to grab it but it stung me when I laid my fingers on it.
"What's wrong with it?" I asked Benjamin. Benjamin was shocked to see it glowing, he slowly bend down to pick it up. If it burned him, it didn't show.
"This marble senses dark power. The brighter it gets the more dangerous. What were you feeling when you attacked me?" Benjamin said getting all serious again. Back to being my teacher in the magic world.
"I don't know. I just felt like I needed to defend my brother, no matter how dirty I had to fight. I know I'm not as good of a fighter like you guys." James was back to being his old self-seeing as Benjamin stopped smearing me in pig blood, he simply sat down to watch us.
"So that's how it's triggered? I've been going it the wrong way." Benjamin muttered to himself softly.
"You should stop talking to yourself, some people might think it's weird," I commented and made James chuckle. There were still burn marks on James’s skin and I thought of a good idea. I walked over to him, gently touching his arm. My skin flushed red hot and I tried not to flinch at the pain that went away in a second after he was healed up magically.
Slowly the marks faded and James silently stared at me with pain in his eyes. He didn't want me to be in danger and because of this power I was a big target.
"Sorry," I murmured taking some steps back.
He didn't say anything as Benjamin took my hand to inspect it. I got chills from his touch and quickly took my hand away from his before my body did something I’d regret.
"James was right, it comes naturally so can I wash the damn blood off now?" I asked as Benjamin was still in thought, not even listening to me.
That's when the marble ball turned so bright we all had to shield our eyes. I felt Benjamin push me behind me as it surprised him to see this happen. He could sense something was happening, something unexpected.
"Someone broke the barrier," Benjamin said in total shock.
In a rush, I felt my connection with Angelo spark back up. It felt like I could finally fully take in a deep breath again. God, I missed him. I could feel his satisfaction and excitement as the magic walls came down all around Benjamin's property.
