Who would have suspected that Wendy Cooper is a dark witch? How did I not notice? No wonder she was so interested in my hidden project or why she chose to read about mythology the first day she came to visit me, Hayley thought. It was too much to bear, she kept her secret from her and Wendy did the same. What if she's more powerful? Ridiculous! She has been watching her kill all these people and she didn't do anything. There must be something Wendy knows that she doesn't know. Hayley was drawn away from her thoughts when Amadeus entered her room. Amadeus saw the glittering stone lying on top of her drawer, he was expecting it to be a stone that burned in flames. “When would we do the needful?” Amadeus asked. “Tonight.” Hayley answered. It was a Saturday so they would be no Weston Hills High students loitering in the school by midnight. “What bothers you?” Amadeus asked again as he sat beside her, he took her time to note the look on her face and she wasn't feeling so good. “Nothing
The night Hayley Michael escorted Wendy back home. Hayley struggled through the fog, her vision wasn't steady but she deduced that she was in Weston Hills High and she was attempting to find her way out. Hayley was close to the oak tree, she knew that if she touched the tree that she'd have flashes of all those dead people, the bloodshed, the void, and the unending destruction. She saw the ghost of the same old woman who tried to stop her while she was seeing Wendy off, the old woman didn't move back even though Hayley tried to scare her. “What do you want from me?” Hayley interrogated. “The unbinding.” The old woman muttered pointing at the oak tree. “What's the unbinding?” Hayley asked. She wanted to know more about this oak tree. “Come.” The woman reiterated seizing Hayley's arms. She grinned revealing her set of yellow broken teeth. Her eyes were frightening and her skin was hanging loose. Her gray hair stopped right above her neck. They both vanished, Hayley marveled, she tho
Two years after the imprisonment of Edmond Michael. That familiar silver eyes lady stepped into the bar with her purse, she was wearing black spectacles to hide her identity. She spotted who she was looking for at the end of the bar drinking, she walked toward her. “What took you so long?” Lilith asked Dania watching her take a seat. “Would you like beer?” “No, I don't want to drink. How are the kids?” “They are fine, I need to get this done.” Lilith said taking a sip from her bottle. “What?” “The book of unbinding. It has everything that could bring my husband back. At least not everything but clues and our family history.” Lilith announced. “Why would you write a book about our family? How can you compose a book that can bring Edmond back?” “It's the only way of letting my wounds heal. I need your help sister.” Lilith said. “What do you need?” Dania asked. “I need you to take care of my daughters when I'm dead.” “You are not dying now,” Dania raised an eyebrow but Lilith d
Hayley sat down on the couch while Dania served her a glass of juice. Her house had changed a lot, she sipped from the glass of juice before putting it back on the table in front of her. “What have you come here to do?” Dania asked as she sat opposite her. “Well, I came to ask some questions about the unbinding.” Hayley said. Dania peered at her. “I don't know anything. Your mother should be the person you'd ask that question.” “It's been sixteen years since Edmond was trapped. I set him free a few weeks ago and today I wish I hadn't.” “Edmond has returned!” Dania said as she stood up running her fingers through her hair, her lashes fluttered as she stared at Hayley. How could it be? She warned Lilith never to write anything about the unbinding but she disobeyed her. “I guessed my father loved me, but it turns out I'm his downfall.” Hayley said after her aunt sat back on the couch. “What do you want from me?” Hayley asked. “I just came to inquire.” “About what.” “The unbindi
About five years ago.Sabrina gasped as she woke up inside a moving car. What just happened? Where was she? She kept asking herself these questions until her vision steadied. Hayley just killed me. How can I be alive? She thought. Sabrina sat up, she recognized that a lady was driving the car, they were no longer in Weston Hills and she wasn't sure of where they were navigating to. She was flabbergasted but she didn't know how to ask the lady in front a question. Has she been abducted? She couldn't understand what was happening to her. “Where are you taking me to?” Her lips trembled as those words evaded her lips. “I'm Danica Wilson. I saw you lying in the streets and decided to help because you were breathing.” Danica told her. “I was dead.” Sabrina uttered looking at her palm before peeking at the windshield. “What are we talking about?” “Are we in Weston Hills?” “No, we are not.”“I don't understand what's happening to me.”“Relax, I will help you. What's your name?” Danica sa
“You are not going to tell me what to do.” Iago said leaving Maddie behind as he stepped closer to him. “You know I was a cop and I'm powerful. I can take you down.” Justin said striding closer to him, they scowled at each other before Iago raised his fist, Justin seized it before he twisted it and Iago spun over before falling to the ground. “Come on. Maddie.” Justin said giving her a hand. Maddie stood up “Do you think you could get rid of me that easily?” Iago asked seizing his neck from behind. “Perhaps, I could.” Justin smirked before tugging him over, Iago stood back on his feet and Justin snapped his neck.“You just killed him!” Maddie wailed taking a step backward, she quivered hoping that Justin would leave her alone. “Hey, I'm not going to hurt you.” Justin said moving closer to her. She closed her eyes before falling to the ground. “You should have given her a chance.” Valarie roared. She wasn't pleased that Wendy had died, she had great ambition and all Edmond could d
Danica was staring outside the house through the window, she couldn't believe that she killed a monster. Perhaps, her powers served importance. She loved how Earnestine encouraged her to become someone she never thought she would be. The Michael family was a den of witches, true, but also a den of kind-hearted ladies. “How are you feeling?” Justin asked. “I'm fine.” Danica said, her gaze fixed outside.“Okay. I will be in the living room.” Justin shrugged as he was about to leave. “Hey, thanks for checking up on me.” She said turning toward him while Justin came to a halt.“Oh, you're welcome.” He smiled.“I heard you guys destroyed a death fly.” Ace said. “Yes. We did, but it took countless lives.” Justin told him while stepping into the library. “I have been researching about your kind over the weekend. I'm also attempting to figure out what could destroy Edmond Michael. Guess what. I found something.”“Emphasize more.” Justin asked taking a seat beside him. “I was able to find
Hearing a knock on the door, she reached for the handle when she stepped into the front room, opening the door, her gaze caught the unfamiliar figure who started fidgeting with her. “Who are you looking for?” Danica asked. “Freya.” Hayley muttered. Danica raised an eyebrow, her hand still on the door handle. How was it possible? She couldn't believe her eyes. Perhaps, Earnestine took the risk of raising all her sisters back to life or she must have left the world of the living to the infernal region for too long. “I'm not Freya. I'm Danica. Danica Wilson.”“Nice to meet you.” She stuttered.“Come in.” Danica smiled. “What year is this?” Hayley asked petrified as she stepped into the house. A lot of things had changed. How long was she gone? Turning to Danica who was behind her, she scowled. “Freya don't joke with me. Are you back?” Hayley asked. “I told you I'm not Freya, I'm guessing you are Hayley Michael. The bitch sister. Just so you know, Sabrina would crush your head once sh
Earnestine's POVIt has been a glorious ride and I'm happy that he's gone for good. I mean my father. Yes, I lost the people I loved but I'm glad I was able to save those who relied on me. Giving up can never be the solution to what you want. It's determination, action, and optimism. My life has changed from good to bad and I'm happy that Ace was a very big part of that. He would always have a special part in my heart. I love him so much. I walked to the group of people that just entered bottles and wine taking their orders before I returned to the counter. I quickly came back with their orders. As I walked back to the counter with my tray, my phone beeped and I got a message from my sister that I was going to miss the Michael family's dinner. I grinned before sending her a text. “I'm on my way.” I uttered incoherently. Sabrina's POVAs I set the table for the family dinner. I smiled recalling all the memories I made with my family. They were all a source of inspiration and I understa
Irvine. The heat of the burning flames escaped to the skies pouring down on the surface of the earth setting Irvine in a glow. The chattering of humans and the chirping of the birds surrounded the whole village, it was an early morning about twenty-five years ago. A fair girl walked out of a house feeling the morning breeze caress her face, she smiled before her gaze met the blue skies. She moved strands of her hair behind her ears before she took a path that led away from the village houses to the village green where she would secretly practice her magic and get over the death of the only surviving relative she had as a family. Her mother. Sitting down on the buttress roots of a tree, she glanced at the shimmering stars before turning a page in her grimoire. Practicing magic in the morning gave her the chance to concentrate and feel the wonders of nature. “I just wish you would come back to me mother.” Valarie cried remembering the memories that they made together. She was her only
“Let me go!” Michaela roared and the door blast open, Ace was moved away, he stumbled down the hallway and fell off before landing in the living room. Michaela looked downstairs and saw him lying still, she smirked before her lips parted and she vanished. Janeka stumbled down, Sabrina followed and Danica continued defending them with flames and ice, Earnestine stood her ground, slaying these creatures with her powers. It wasn't effective and they couldn't tell why, but they had to continue fighting back until these creatures were terminated. One of the creatures flung a sword towards Janeka, she was too weak to defend herself. Her face was bruised and her arms were scraped. Danica saw it and she blasted it with their ice before a cloud of fire melted it into water. Janeka exhaled deeply.“Step away from my family.” Michaela appeared, she glared at the creatures, her eyes flashed blue and she stepped towards the creatures. “Michaela!” Sabrina said stretching her hands to reach her but
Dania was pouring them tea while they sat on the couch waiting for her to join them after she put the jug on the table.“It's been a long time since we met Sabrina.” Dania attempted a smile.“Of course. Well, I came here for a reason.” Sabrina raised an eyebrow. “What could it be?” Dania said sipping from her tea cup.“It's about a..” Jonathan said. Sabrina glared at him. “You know my mother right and you know everything she knows.” Sabrina interrupted.“Yes. Lilith is my sister.” Dania shrugged. “Great. What do you know about the relic or bracelet or whatever it is called?” Sabrina squinted. “The bracelet is what bonds Edmond with the darkness. It was hidden after he was imprisoned but I'm afraid that he must have gotten his filthy claws on it.” Dania forced a smile. “If Edmond has the relic that means there is no way we can help you or Michaela.” Danica explained. Dania had accepted the truth that Danica was Freya's doppelganger after being convinced by Sabrina. “Who is Michael
“Don't ever tell your mother that we did this!” Edmond told his daughters while staring into their eyes. They nodded in agreement before they grinned. It was Weston Hills twenty years back, some months before Edmond was imprisoned. They were sitting on the wooden floor together. Edmond could see a shooting star across the sky, it's dazzling and intriguing lights struck the earth's surface while some kids were outside staring at the magnificent glow. It was quite tempting. People believed that if you make a wish it would come to pass and children were out there making wishes. Freya's lip twitched, as she looked at her father who smiled at her. The bracelet lay in the middle of them, Freya, Janeka, Earnestine, Sabrina, and Edmond sat around it with three candles surrounding the bracelet. Little Hayley was in her father's arms. He used a needle to prick their thumb, their blood dripped on the bracelet. When he pricked Hayley's thumb, she let out a cry, but soon she stopped after Edmond be
“Jonathan. Please I need your help.” Sabrina said while on the phone, her hands were on the velvet curtains that covered the windows. She bit her lips before clasping her grip on the curtain.“What do you need my help for?” Jonathan asked. “I need you to fix my daughter.” She gritted her teeth and her eyes widened.“I'm on my way, old friend.” He replied before hanging up. Sabrina exhaled before pulling her phone to her chest. She hoped that things would become better with Jonathan around. She didn't want anything bad to happen to her daughter. It was the last thing she'd wish for, she'd give her life a hundred times for Michaela to survive. As she was leaving the living room, Janeka and Earnestine tramped into the front room roaring at each other. “All you had to do was to protect him from Hayley but you let him die.” Janeka yelled at Earnestine. “I tried,” Earnestine uttered with watery eyes, she takes hold of Janeka's arm. “Where have you been?”“I wouldn't believe this. You let
The atmosphere was gay, few people were standing close to gravestones putting their flowers close to them, and grieving due to the death of their loved ones. At the end of the cemetery were the Michael family, they were all dressed in black suits with perfectly picked flowers in their grasp, the burial had been completed some minutes ago and they were here to put their flowers on his grave.“It hurts me so much.” Earnestine uttered. What if Janeka returns? How would she cope? This question keeps repeating itself in her head. “Come on. The deed has been done. There is nothing we can do about it.” Danica soothed. Sabrina and Michaela put their flowers together before Earnestine and Danica joined them. They took in a long-lasting breath that refilled their lungs and made them feel more alive. Hearing footsteps approaching from behind them they turned only to meet Edmond, Lorene, and the psycho vampire Iago stepping towards his grave. “What are you doing here?” Sabrina implored with a sc
“Hey! We are going to get out here Lorene. You're going to have that life you always wanted with Edmond. He loves you, and all of us.” Justin said reassuringly. Her arms were folded and she excluded herself from the group that was sitting in a corner of the void. Justin stood beside her before they gazed at each other. “There is no way we are leaving this prison. Don't make me feel that everything will be alright.” Lorene told Justin. “Everything will be ok. Just be tolerant.” Justin said taking her arms while they strode back to the group.Present Day.Hayley brought out the steak from the oak tree of the infernal region. She squirmed with it before she laughed conceitedly, and walked closer to Justin who was tied to a seat. They were in an old abandoned house, with spiders hanging loose from the ceiling, broken wares, cracked walls, and shattered windows. Justin's eyes widened as he struggled to set himself free.“Don't fight. We used magic.” “I'm so sorry.” Valarie told him. “I
