Rushing out of the building, Andrew ran into his car, drove to where he and Brown were supposed to meet, picked him up, and sped all the way back to Lakewood. His plan was to finish his business with the Scarlet coven and return to Emily before sundown. As he drove, his frustration increased. He was partly sure that he would've gotten back to Scarlet faster if he shifted and ran with the winds. But he didn't know or understand why his wolf resisted the idea.Meanwhile, Emily had gotten enough lessons for the day and was now going back with promises to come back after seeking out the sorcerer and destroying him. Her time with the four masters Amelia had left her with, was so impactful that she felt more alive and self-aware than she had ever been. She knew that she wasn't there yet in terms of being experienced, but at least she was confident enough to face the sorcerer.Dusk was already falling when she crossed Scarlet's border and she hastened back to the house, hoping that Andrew ha
The more he tried to unravel the mystery of Emily's disappearance the more strange it became. Andrew cracked his head as he tried to solve the puzzle that was Emily's disappearance.From her scent, he guessed that she must've left that evening. He wondered if the voice called her again.To further complicate matters, the chief witch's words kept resounding in his head. 'She had never stepped foot in Scarlet until today….'... She came to ask for help…. '... You need to do more thinking and less action… '... Ask yourself questions about the people surrounding you… ' … Ponder on all the events that have happened since you stepped into Lakewood… 'Andrew shook his head, to shake her voice off. He walked round the house trying to find where her scent was most concentrated so he could begin his search for her.He was still at the threshold of her door when he sensed the enthralling aura of magic. He paused and furrowed his brows.Did it mean that the sorcerer had used magic to lure
Emily chuckled,"Not this witch." She growled, breaking out from his chains and standing on her feet.Lerman snarled,"I see the little one's got some tricks up her sleeves eh? Perks of working with Elrold right?" Lerman sneered, pushing his hands forward.Emily swiftly dodged the incoming force that was supposed to hit her and used her telekinesis to grab his leg and fling him into a pile of rubble.Lerman groaned, but was back on his feet,"You're feisty, I L.."Emily didn't let him finish, she raised her hands and clawed her fingers, putting him in a chokehold.A force slammed into Emily's cheeks, throwing her to the side and making her splutter out blood.Annoyed, she rubbed her cheeks. "Knives." She growled and a whirring sound was heard as thousands of knives flew toward him, slashing and plunging into the sorcerer's vital organs.He fell to the ground bleeding.Emily gingerly got to her feet and sauntered to where he lay groaning out in pain. "You're evil." She screamed, kick
Emily blinked as her eyes adjusted to the amount of sunlight streaming in through the windows.She inhaled deeply, enjoying the clean hospital smell that filtered into her nostrils. "Ahh thank goodness I survived," she muttered, knowing that she was in Elrold's emergency hospital that was situated deep within the building. She'd been there just once, when Samantha was showing her around and had fallen in love with it. As she tried stretching on the uncomfortable bed, the handle to the door of her ward twisted open and Jacqueline crept in. Emily grinned, extremely happy to see her friend looking well and alive. She raised her body and threw her legs down, and Jacqueline squealed giddily then rushed and engulfed her in a bear hug.They remained stuck like that for a while before Jacqueline finally spoke."We thought you didn't make it." Jacqueline sobbed. "Damn I was so heartbroken. I swore to tear the sorcerer apart with my bare hands."Emily patted her back, feeling emotional."I
Emily's heart went ba dum dum at the mention of 'Official Business.'She swallowed, gave Karen a tight smile and clutched her fingers together. Karen's aura clearly showed that she wasn't bearing good news."You've been indefinitely suspended, Dr. Winx."Emily inhaled deeply and pressed her quivering lips together as a surge of unhappiness overwhelmed her. It's unfair. She cried in her head. She'd fucking abandoned her mom and the coven again to work with Elrold. Went through unimaginable pain and stress, put her life at risk all because she thought that she'd finally found her place in the world and freaking loved it. And after all that they were going to drop her flimsily. Her eyes brimmed with tears and her fingers trembled. Everyone in the industry knew that an indefinite suspension was a nice way of saying, 'we don't need your services anymore.' The situation was too familiar. She remembered how she lost her other jobs for similar reasons. She took another deep breath and inha
Douglas ghoul writhed in pain as it tried to warn Caleb, who was busy making preparations for his coronation. The Master,who was one of the great demons, was livid. So livid that it sent his wife's ghoul into the depths of hell. Douglas was tormented by her unending screams and wails.The moment Caleb sat on the Alpha throne in Brighton's conference hall, it kick started the sacrifice and if his coronation was successful, he was going to drop dead. But that would only provoke the Master further because it would get Caleb's useless soul instead of Andrew's powerful own. Douglas was dead but terrified of the repercussions that would hit him if such a catastrophe occurred. He floated above and around Caleb, trying to warn him, but the fool was blinded by what he thought was his victory. He didn't even notice when a lesser evil spirit pricked him and drew his blood on that night when Larry named him Alpha. Neither did he notice that his soul was growing weaker as the clock ticked. Demo
"I don't think the Moon Goddess blesses this gathering." Andrew's voice echoed around them.The energy immediately dissipated and Caleb fell to the floor growling.Emily floated into their midst. Her body was alight with the power of the moon. Her eyes were shining like the stars, her hair shone red and was floating with the winds. Clasped to her neck was the Moonstone that was emanating the same light as her body.She closed her eyes and jammed her palms together and power surged from her, pushing everyone to the ground. Caleb's hold on Brighton dissolved immediately.Out from the darkness came Andrew who was gripping Larry's throat, The Compliant who was gripping Mendez in the same fashion and Karen, whose body was bathed in blood.Emily's eyes remained closed as she wove a protection spell around their gathering completely cutting off Shirley and her witches from the coven, who had been using dark magic to pull out the essence of almost everyone seated in the gathering.Andrew smi
"What happened?!" Shirley screeched into Caleb's ear."Who was that? Who was that witch? Why can I not view her face or summon her spirit?"Caleb's eyes fluttered open and close.He was hanging from silver chains that held his arms up. Another set of chains were clasped around his abdomen down to his legs, merrily burning away his skin. His body was streaked with his own blood and different cuts. He was in unimaginable pain as the silver trackers that had been scattered all over his body pierced and created internal injuries for him."It's over." He murmured. "Tell the master to take my soul." Shirley cackled,"Do you think it's that easy? Your current worldly torment is a million times better than what the master will do to you if you die without fulfilling your part of the sacrifice."Caleb cried out in pain and Shirley cackled,"You wolf, are the most useless wolf to walk the earth. How do you find a way to always mess up the littlest things? I would ask for the last time before le
