Tiffany was just about to lie down when Lizzy appeared in her room. She smiled at her. "I have a job for you."****The next morning, Tiffany took her time and put on her uniform. She brushed through her stringy hair, pout her lips, then sighed.''First Karl, and Matthew, now Lizzy.''Tiffany looked at her clock, then look one last time in the mirror before walking out of her room and heading to the mansion, where she entered through the kitchen as she always does. She still felt bad for killing that old hag. She thought that Horatio would have done something to her, but she got away with it."Well, at least now no one can bribe her into talking about what she knows." Karl had said.He had promised Tiffany a better life at the mansion if she helped him, so she did. But now Lizzy was promising her a place in the world, a place to rule if she helped her. Naturally, Tiffany went for the highest bid. How could she not say yes?She swung open the closet door, taking out the broom and dust
"I'm sure it's nothing," Nikki reassured Scarlet, but reassuring herself at the same time, she too could feel that something was wrong, very wrong."Yeah, I hope so. I have to go do training." Scarlet got up to leave."Yeah, okay, I'm glad that you found your brother. I hope you find her friend, Selina, too." Nikki was genuine with her words.Scarlet smiled at her words. "I think I already found her.""And I know that you are Horatio's other half. You wouldn't be protecting us if you weren't. But why would Brandy pretend?" Nikki said, long after Scarlet closed the door.Nikki's mind drifted to the previous witch that pretended to be Horatio's mate, thinking that Brandy was acting the same way, just said mate once, and that was it. She even avoided Horatio like he was the plague.****Scarlet walked into the gym, her bare feet making soft slaps against the ground. She stopped right in the center of the basketball court, then turned her attention to her 'students.'"Ok pes—kiddies, toda
A noise came from the back of Horatio's throat that sounded like a dying animal after seeing Nikki laying on her bed with purple veins popping up her neck and forehead. She was not breathing as well."Nikki," Scarlet said, softly looking at the girl.Scott tried to touch her, but pulled back his hand, hissing in pain."It's wolfsbane," Scarlet told them, then look at his hand that is now green.Horatio went over to lift Nikki off the bed, ignoring the stinging pain. He placed her gently on the ground, looking up at Scarlet with raw emotion in his eyes.She understood what he wanted her to do."April, Eli. I'm going to need your help. All the wolves need to leave." Scarlet commanded.Horatio still had his hand under his sister's head. He shook his head, letting Scarlet know he was not going to leave."Chris, Zach, you guys leave as well. Wolfsbane might not be lethal to vampires, but it can do a lot of damage. Horatio, you need to leave. Stop being stubborn and just go!" Scarlet glared
"Emma!"The serin jolt awake, looking around her room."Who is there?" She called, then got up, opening the door, but no one was there.She looked at the black and gold wristwatch that Scarlet gave her. To see that it was three am, she groaned and went back to bed, falling into a deep sleep immediately. Dreaming that she was drowning in black water that was all around her, and she couldn't escape."Wake up, sleepyhead," Miley said, barging into Emma's room and pulling the drapes open.''Why are you in my room so early?'' Emma said, stifling a yawn."It's quarter past one, Emma. And what's that smell?" Miley walked over to the bed only to stop and ran out of the room.Miley ran until she saw Scarlet and dragged her along without an explanation.''Miley, can you let me go?''"No, I think something is wrong with Emma,'' the younger witch replied.Scarlet stopped resisting at that and those that were in earshot followed behind the two of them.When Scarlet entered the room, she saw Emma w
Scarlet kept replaying what Tiffany had just said in her mind. She nor anyone else expected it, but the deformed maid said some disturbing words which matched her personality and appearance."I'm just sorry that those bitches aren't dead, but I guess I should have taken out Scarlet first. But we are too afraid of that the so-called all-powerful witch would have killed us. It is hard to sneak up on her and she picks up on things fast. We tried to frame her, but it didn't work, especially with everyone liking her so suddenly." Tiffany laughed and drooled escaped her lips."We?" was the only thing Karl could manage to get out. He was quiet the whole time, listening on with a disbelieving look on his face.Lizzy let out a bone-chilling laugh. "Yes, we! And don't act like you don't know now Karl, you had a play in this too. Unless you are now rethinking the allegiance, you pledged to Onyx? We don't have to pretend no, the cat is out of the bag. But like stupid and ugly said, we should have
Coraline walked up to Onyx's throne, bowing her head with a smile on her face. Onyx returned her smile before getting serious. "What news do you have for me?" He asked her. "My love, the job is incomplete. I couldn't get the vampire brothers or Scarlet's brother to come along. They were too strong will all because she had them under a spell. But I gained more allies, they will be pledging to you soon." Coraline lied, hoping Onyx wouldn't notice."Job well done either way. I knew with someone like Scarlet she wouldn't let them leave so easily. But enough of them. Where is our daughter, Brandy, if I believe that's her name? I sent you two out to complete this duty yet. It is only you bowing before me now." Onyx said, his tone was bored. Coraline stood and gave a smile. "Yes, it was. Sadly, she didn't make it out of the doghouse alive. Scarlet caught onto her quickly, all because she was sloppy when trying to plant the wolfsbane. But as for other matters, I have prepared the last of o
Roars, screams, screeches, and laughter sounded throughout the coven. Along with that was the sound of fighting that caused the place to shake.Feeling frustrated, Crystal placed a pillow over her face and screamed because the place was too loud for them to get any rest."Don't these damn lores ever sleep?" She asked herself."Shut up!" One of her roommates yelled."If you were sleeping, you wouldn't have heard me talking to myself," she responded.It's been like that for two days now, and in a couple of days from that, they go to war. But everyone was only busy partying, and killing each like there was no pending war. They had no care, and you would think they had already won with how cocky they were behaving.Crystal rolled over facing the wall, her mind was racing. She tried to block out her thoughts, but it was no good. The mess of the place was just too much, and she was afraid that she would lose her mind."Hey there," she gasped, then looked over to where the voice was coming f
Scarlet was giving orders to everyone on where to set things up around the village and the mansion so the place can be protected while the war was going on. "We can set them up here, on the roof here, and over here." Scarlet pointed to a map that showed the layout of the Ridgeview. Horatio nodded. "What about here?" He pointed near the river. "That's a good idea. Emma and the water nymphs could use the reinforcement." Scarlet said. "Do you really think this is going to work?" Chris asked, looking at the map, then at her. He was trailing behind them the entire time, peaking at the map with every chance he got. "No," Scarlet said dryly. Everyone paused to look at her. Brad barked out a laugh. "Why are we doing it, then? I mean, if we all are going to die might as well just go into this and accept our faith." Horatio exchanged a look with his mate, and she sighed. "I never said that we are going to lose, but there is no guarantee a water cannon will protect the mansion from a siren
