CHAPTER NINE: THE COVEN

VALENCIA’S POINT OF VIEW

Everything feels hazy and fuzzy, I don’t really know what is going on, it all feels like a weird time lapse that i cannot control, one moment I feel like I’m in control, in that one moment I am conscious of what is happening and then the next moment it’s like somehow things happened, things that I am not aware of.

I open my eyes weakly to see Alexandro, above me, carrying me into a cave. It has a dreamy feeling to it ‘Cos it’s like we are in a cave, it’s like I am in a white dress like those ones worn by the priestesses of the moon goddess, it feels like I am sleeping, like I am in a separate reality and in my dream Alexandro is carrying me to an unknown destination and it is just the both of us there, I try my best to stay present but I cannot so I slowly slip away, I slowly slip out of consciousness.

And then after sometime I become conscious again.

I remember everything about the day I got shot with the arrow, I remember the woods, I remember riding on the horse, I remember the pain and fear I felt when the arrow pierced my skin and I also remember who did it, I remember Sheila’s face when she shot me with the arrow, the disgusting satisfaction in her face, I cannot remember anything she said before she released the arrow though.

I want to tell Alexandro, I want to warn him to be careful with her, to be careful with Sheila because she is not who she seem to be but each time I try I do not feel strong enough to continue, it is like the words are in my head but somehow i cannot say them and then I suddenly start feeling hazy and then slowly I go unconscious.

I remember telling Alexandro something before going unconscious but I am not sure what it is, i remember the look of nervousness in his face after I told him what I told him but I don’t know why because I cannot remember what I told him, I remember going unconscious and then I remember feeling like the cave is shaking, like an earthquake of some sort is happening, like the cave is starting to fall apart. I see the panic on Alexandro’s eyes even if he tried so hard to hide it, I feel what he feels, I am his mate after all.

“Stay with me Valencia, hold on.” I heard someone say. Alexandro. My eyes opened and then it all became clear, the cave is starting to get destroyed, pieces of it falls everywhere, there are big boulders and rocks and sand flying every where, everywhere is breaking apart! The ground on which we are standing starts to feel unpredictable, there’s dust everywhere! I can hardly see anything!

Alexandro held on to me as he ran quickly to the entrance of the cave.

“Let us out of here!” He yelled over and over again, nobody answers, slowly the caves starts to cave in promising to destroy everything in it, everything including us.

SHEILA’S POINT OF VIEW

The blood moon is in a few hours, it is the time when the witches are at their strongest, the Witches will finally be able to practice magic, there will be no one to stop us with Alexandro away or should I say dead, he would surely not survive, the spell Donovan casted will make the entire cave collapse, they are already trapped in with nowhere to run, they both will die trapped in that cave with nowhere to run.

Donovan and I link hands together, we cast the spell summoning all the witches in silver lake quarter to the cemetery where we are now.

The candle lights around on flickers but does not turn off, the wind rises with our voice, we stay in the circle made with salt, this serves as a barrier between us and the spirits that might be hovering through the cemetery.

We continue to cast the spell, speaking in the language of the ancient witches, socorers and warlocks and then slowly we see them starting to emerge from all the parts of the cemetery. I smile at Donovan, she smiled back, the spell is complete, the witches are here now.

Most of them look confuse as to why they are here, such a shame, we use to be the strongest creatures in all of Silver lake now we are a lost tribe some of the witches do not even remember who they are, some don’t even know who they are but I am here to remind them, I am here to remind them who we are, I am here to remind them of the power we possess, I will remind them of the time we use to be Kings, of the time when the Werewolves, fairies and humans used to worship at our feet, the time before the uprising when they all ganged up to take us down.

I will remind them just like how Donovan reminded me, I used to be a slave girl at Alexandro’s mercy then she showed just how powerful a witch I am.

Powerful enough to bring down the ruthless Alpha Alexandro, powerful enough to restore Silver lake back to the witch.

When the blood moon comes, after we all cast the reincarnation spell our ancestors will return to silver lake, their lives will be given back to then, new lives in their old bodies, some of them have been dead since as far back as the eighteenth century but they will all return to 2025 and the uprising will begin.

Celeste Monroe use to be the ruler of our coven in 1923 which was the last year before we were usurped by the werewolves.

If anyone would know how to restore Silver lake to the Witches, it is Celeste and she would be brought back to life tonight when the moon reaches its peak, when the blood moon comes. Celeste Monroe along with other powerful witches that were killed by Alpha Alexandro will be brought back to life tonight by the great reincarnation spell…
