Chapter two: The Stewardess

"Witches live among us in secret. Their magic passed down from an ancient race, diluted, half forgotten... but dangerously powerful. After centuries of conflict, a truce was forged. Witches would be allowed to govern themselves if they followed one strict rule... that magic never be used against humans. But a truce is a fragile thing, there are some that long for the return of the old ways... the dark days of the Witch Queen. It is those whom Kaulder deals with. For 800 years, he has served the Axe and Cross, together we have kept watch and kept the peace."

When we got onto the main road, it was 19:47, on our way to my apartment, my phone buzzed. I took it out and saw it was an email from the 36th Dolan.

To: Miss Michaels

From: Dolan the 36th

Our meeting with the Witch Council is at 23:00 sharp.
I will meet you downstairs, the lobby, of your apartment building an hour before the meeting.

KIND REGARDS

THE 36TH DOLAN

I feel the car stop in front of my apartment building. James jumps out of the car and runs to open my door, and like the kind gentleman that I know him to be, he offers his hand to help me out. Once I'm out, James hands the valet the car keys and joins me. I head to the doors and James opens them for me, allowing me to enter first, we then head to the elevator to my left and press the button. The receptionist greets us as the doors open and bids us farewell as they close. We finally arrive at my floor and head into my apartment.

I walk to my bedroom and go close the door when James asks, "Would you like something to eat, Madam, and maybe a drink as well?"

"Please, James, if you don't mind. A glass of bourbon, if you would." With that I close my door and enter my en suite to shower. Once I'm done showering I walk to my basin and grab some facial wipes to take off my make-up, I wet my face and start ex-foliating, when I'm done with that I dab face down with a clean towel and grab the toner, facial pad and wipe my face off, I then moisturize and put a few drops of green tea tree oil in my hand and press it into my face. After I'm done with everything in the bathroom, I go into my walk-in closet and pull out a casual but formal outfit. (Refer to photo at the beginning of the chapter.)

I sit down at my vanity table and apply some light neutral make-up. When I'm finished, I walk into the kitchen and sit at the isle, as I do so, James places a plate of steak, steamed and spiced asparagus and garlic sliced rolls. He places my glass of bourbon next to it.

"Thank you, James. It looks and smells divine. I need this bourbon after that stressful flight." I smile appreciatively at James.

"You are welcome, Madam. What exactly happened during your flight?" He asks me.

I take a bite of my food and speak after chewing finish, "A turbulence, about 10 minutes before landing, apparently a teenage witch possessed the Weather Ruins. She stuffed them into her backpack together, without any sort of separation between the ruins, whatsoever. But a man named Kaulder handled the situation, quite calmly if you ask me, and introduced himself to me. He was the one you thought fancied me, even if I believe it's a load of shite."

"Well, now I can see why you needed the alcohol. I'll leave you to eat, Madam." He says and takes his leave. I checked the time on the clock, 21:09.

I just remembered the meeting, "Oh! James, I have a meeting with Dolan the 36th, so, I need to leave in an hour before eleven." I say to him.

"Of course, Madam." With that he takes his leave.
