At dead of night she felt that someone was calling her. She pushed her blanket aside, peeped out of it inquisitively but did not found anyone. Suddenly she saw a beam of light was coming out his friend Micheal's mother's wand that she put next to herself. When she touched it she heard clear voice of Mike - "Roma, come to me. I am sitting beside the pond".
She tiptoed on her feet and after being sure none of the two boys were noticing her (Nick was fast asleep beside her, whereas Alex had gone to hunt), she met him at the pondside where he was sitted restlessly. When he saw her his face lighted up immediately and he hugged her too tightly. "I am so sorry, I don't know they are not punishing you; but they are sending you as a bait." He told her in one breath.
"What do you mean by that??!!" She asked him.
"I have listened to my mother. She told herself to Principal Duffling that to stop the ramdom attack of vampires and werewolves on girls, they have decided to send a girl to them who can be mate with them." His cheeks got more red like tomatoes. "In this way they can save the girls of the wizadry school."
She was taken aback to learn this - "But why me??!!"
"Beacuse they think that your powers are still underdeveloped, hence you can be perfect for them. They don't want to sacrifice a full witch to the other clan, you know?!!" He said.
"I understand that totally. But now I have another pressing problem in mind." She told him.
"What more than this???!!" He asks again.
"To escape from this forbidden garden I have to mate with three boys of three different clans. And I have only two of them." Her eyes suddenly lighted up. "Mike, will you be my partner??" She asks him in burning face.
He looks too shy all of a sudden and then he tugs her arms tightly in his own by saying - "I will do anything to punish my mother's crime." (Mike's mother was Mrs Mcgullicardy, Roma's classtracher).
....
At morning, when she introduced Mike to them both, Nick welcomed him whole heertedly like an elder brother, while Alex behaved like an absolute jerk.
"Then this is your choice, fuu??!!" He spat on the floor angrily and went away.
"Give him sometime to cool of and he will be alright." Nick assured them.
"Then can you accept him?" She asked Nick who with a smile looked at her.
He just wanted to make her happy. After Mike's sudden appearance on the scene, she seemed really happy. That was what he always wanted.
