Alexandru and Samantha have the weirdest relationship ever known to the creatures. They met when they were both mortals in highschool and have bonded ever since after finding out about their place in the   supernatural realm. As a witch I must say, they're bonding 'spell' was a unique one, it was the first time I've ever been summoned to cast that spell, nevertheless on the predators of the night . As light is day and as dark is night, it was the toughest spell in the books.

 
I remember that day as if it were yesterday. I was having a well deserved week long break in Loga in the afternoon, sipping herbal tea under the warm afternoon sun with a book in my hands. "Yes, the ecstasy of the dark life" I whispered to myself as I was drifting to sleep. My pendant burnt against my chest and by the scent wafting from it ,I knew it was an urgent call and I had to get to earth quickly. What could I say, being the best witch even respected by Hades comes at price. Teleporting myself to earth, I appeared in my shop where I met Alex and Sam literally having sex on my porch. 

I invited  them in and was faced with their request. I informed them that everything comes at a price with nature and began to collect the necessary tools. I had a scoop of both their bloods, one of each of their kidneys, ginger, sage, their grated fingernails, a ravens poop all boiling over the stove to be prepared into a a stew for them to consume. I told them of the consequences of the spell.

Bondage with someone to eternity isn't as pleasing as it seems but they were in 'love'. Reading off my book I said" As this spell has been cast, the bearers shall be bound to one another for eternity in life and death by the evil that exists in the universe". The consequence of the spell was that if one party was to die and the other were alive, the one alive will experience a heartbreak as strong as the current of a thousand seas until they died by their Fate and then reunite in Hell. I asked for my payment to be delayed and I would want it as a favour in the future. As a black magic wielding witch, I love it when beings are indebted to me so I can use them as pawns at any time. The deal had been sealed and off they went.

My lust filled cravings have never been subdued even with my hexes and Samantha had definitely caught my eye. Satisfying myself with mere mortals is a joke so I prefer it with the supernaturals. I'm a mortal myself but after preserving my youth for over a thousand years by feeding off people's souls, my existence and premonition had forcefully altered It was time to ask for my payment, I thought. My evil side never ceases to amaze me, I call on Alex and Sam and demand their bond be expanded into a not so holy trinity myself completing the trio. They both tried to put up a fight but I reminded  them of those before them who have backed out of my payment.

 
I know trying to expand the spell is deadly but I know how to keep Samantha alive for myself. For the spell, I get three cups of blood from each of us , a ravens poop, grated fingernails, ginger,sage then put it to boil. Over the brewing mix I whisper " Let Alex asunder after my hunger has lessened and leave Sam in mercy for I want to keep her". I put off the stove and serve the stew, I watch as they slurp it all down before making advances towards Alex. The unholy trinity had finally opened and we had our way with each other. After a few minutes, Alex suddenly began to cough out a lot of blood and I said to him "All that blood looks good on you, it really brings out your eyes". I watch and laugh maniacally as his soul emits his body before trapping it's essence in a jar.
I wipe Sam's memory of the event and keep her for my dark ever after, well until I strike again.
