Hex-y Tales Chapter 3

As Jon Webb approached the Black Rose Manor, his resolve only grew stronger. He had already given a lot of thought over offer and now he was ready to give her his answer. As he wandered the halls, he began to remember how easy it was for him to get lost. He started to think he may never be able to find her.

"Maybe she's not home…" he thought.

Before he could react, his body suddenly began to move towards the hot spring in the back yard. As though he knew that was where Raven was. Even from the cold winter air he could feel the heat coming from the springs. There were various statues of human satyrs and faeries pouring hot water. That's was when he found who he was looking for. Raven Hex. The dark witch of the black rose coven and Tarot's older sister. Raven did not seem to notice Jon until he was right in front of her. As she tilted her head up, she wrinkled her nose thinking it was another frost faery here to ruin her relaxation. Needless to say she was surprised when she found out it was Jon.

"H-hey Raven. Nice to see you" he said nervously. He was aware of how powerful she was and that it would be a bad idea to anger her. Yet strangely, Raven didn't seem to mind. After so many mishaps and adventures she had come to like Jon. Maybe it was funny response to seeing her skyclad all the time or the occasional sex.

"Why hello Jon." She said in an overly friendly yet seductive tone. "What brings you by? Come to sample the hot springs? Or are you just here to see my sister. Just to let you know, she's out on business."

"I know. Actually I came to talk to you. If that's okay." Jon rubbed the back of head. Judging by the nervous body language this talk would be out of his comfort zone.

"Oh really? Well if you want to talk let's talk. But you must join me Skeleton Man. The water is perfect.

Jon saw where this was going. He could refuse but she would probably use her magick to strip him so he began to take off his clothes. He stood in the cold air naked for only a second before slowly climbing into the pool.

They sat face to face silently for a few seconds before Jon started talking.

"Raven, remember the last time we talked?" Raven licked her lips greedily.

"Oh yes Jon. We certainly had some fun didn't we? Is that why you're here? Are you hungry for more?" She began to rub her foot against his member in the water. For some reason he didn't seem to mind as much as he should have.

"No…" Jon said slightly blushing. "… After that. You said that I have magick in me. That you would teach me how to get it out. How to use it. At first I thought you were just messing with me but something about you made me think you were sincere. I did a lot of thinking after that. I try my best to help you guys but I somehow get in trouble and always need you to save me."

Raven stopped playing footsy with his length. "But Jon you do help. Not just with the Dark Fey. You saved us from Azure and stopped his army. You managed to save New York from being destroyed by Latex Red." There was a sincere tone in her voice.

"Yeah, I had some hero moments but most of the time I end up captured, injured, hypnotized, drugged or nearly killed…" he counted this off on his fingers.

"Wow. You have been thinking a lot. But what are you trying to say Jon?"

Jon looked her right in her eyes, took a deep breath and said the next eight words that would change his life: "Raven, I want you to teach me magick."

Raven was without words. She simply sat there with a dumbstruck look on her face.

"Raven?" Jon was worried that she may have broken her. Then all of a sudden she leapt at him with a deranged look her face shrieking at a high pitched tone that nearly deafened the fairies nearby. Soon his face was buried in her cleavage as she hugged him tightly, kissing the top of his head furiously.

"Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Oh John you have no idea how happy this makes me!

Jon was struggling breathing before Raven releases him. "Jeez Raven calm down! I know this is a big deal but I didn't think you would be this excited!"

"Did you really think that I as joking with you? I was completely serious with you. You do have magick in you Jon Webb and with my help we can help you get it out and we are going to have so much fun doing it. When I'm done with you, people are going to remember the Skeleton Man."

"Uh okay, at least now you don't have to feel bad about having sex with a muggle" Jon joked.

"Oh don't worry my boy. It's not like I never felt bad before.

The way she said this, Jon felt a strange combination of arousal and fear. As she got out of the pool she conjured a bath robe to cover herself. "Your first lesson starts on the next full moon. That would be Thursday if you didn't know."

As she walked away, Jon felt a little nervous about what he got himself into. "Should I be afraid of this whole magick student thing?" He asked.

Raven slowly turned her head to face him, her eyes almost without pupils and a lick on her lips. "Very".
