“Well, I think this will do,” Bonnie said adding the last bits of wood to the fire.
“Is this the closest we can get to celebrating Halloween?” June giggled.
It was the 31st of October. Elizabeth, Bonnie and June sat in the school grounds, enjoying their evening tea. Gathering firewood from around the place, they had made a small fire to cheer up Connie who was a newbie.
Connie was 13 years old, and she was from Finland. She had arrived at the school a few days ago. Her parents had come to know about her pyro-kinesis abilities when she was just 11. Against their better judgement they had decided to keep this a secret until recently, when Connie, pissed at one of her schoolmates had started a fire. When the Agency came to know about the event, Allen was asked to intervene and bring her on-board. Connie being the only child had almost suffered a breakdown. She could not bear the thought of living away from her parents and siblings. On the da
When Bonnie woke up, she was breathing heavily, and her mind was full of fog. June and Elizabeth were leaning forward, looking at her closely.“Are you OK?” June asked with concern.“We are glad you decided to come,” Elizabeth smiled.“I was dragged here. I was trying to stop you,” Bonnie gritted her teeth. “And where are we?”“Let’s go and find out!” Elizabeth suggested.“You don’t know? Brilliant!” Bonnie said, getting up slowly.The three of them walked a mile before they found the main road and after reading the road signs, they discovered that they were in Connecticut.“Any idea why we landed here?” Bonnie asked.“Nope,” replied Elizabeth.“Is this place close to your home?” June asked.“No, it isn’t, I want to say there was a glitch but…” Elizabeth said.&ldq
Halloween party had gone terribly wrong, and they had another mystery on hand to solve. It was awful that the killer had struck twice in one night, moving from one crime scene to another. They knew one thing for sure, people in town are in trouble because of this monster but what they did not know was that their presence in Connecticut had stirred up a lot of things.They were being followed to be targeted. Moments after Northstar had landed in the Connecticut, Aria had followed him here. She was overjoyed at the fact that she had outsmarted Northstar once again. He had been looking for her all over the place, but he could not find her, although she had stayed too close to him during all that time. Aria had mastered the disguise spell and although Northstar was spooked a few times by her presence, he had failed to spot her. Perhaps he was exhausted of chasing her, she thought.When Aria arrived in Connecticut, she realized that the town was falling a victim to a monste
Later that night, when Amber returned home, she had bad news. Maddie had been stabbed. She was found lying in a pool of blood on her doorstep. When they brought her to the hospital, she was already dead.“Our lives are in danger, we got to do something,” Amber said.“Gregory!” Elizabeth said quickly. “We need to do something to keep him safe.”“Fine, go pay him a visit. I will try to find out more from the police department.” Northstar said.Elizabeth, Bonnie and June quickly left to see Gregory. When they got near the house, they heard multiple footsteps and on impulse they decided to hide. Gregory’s door was open, so they went inside. The three of them looked out and to their relief, they saw three kids heading towards the main road. As the three of them started to call out for Gregory, Elizabeth spotted something. It was a silver knife and she had seen a similar one in Maddie’s house.&
The calm dusk on a clear moonlit night arouses attention in a young cambion as she awaits a terrible darkness to attack." Gosh, this is boring, " Olivia said as she walks the streets of Paris, France in a pink Victorian dress while standing in the balcony of a masquerade party." Just stay in character, Witch girl, " Mallory said through her earpiece. " That manananggal can be anywhere in that ballroom." Explained why I have to be a dorky looking servant again, " Taylor complained as he struggled to balance a large tray of orders through a crowd of guest ." Because you'd look awful in pink , Nollax, " Mallory joked." Besides , we're going to need you to pick up the manananggal's scent." Just remember post, wolf boy," Said Olivia. " These manananggal are creepy as ... "" Hey baby, " an older man approached Olivia with the pungent scent of wine huddled in his breath. " Why here alone? , " "Let’s t
As the three girls became victims to Palio’s orchestra once more, they found themselves in a strange village surrounded by pink clouds and a magenta-colored sky. “This is getting weird,” June said. “Palio keeps sending us to alternate realities, “Bonnie said. “We need to get that damn flute and destroy it, “But before they could form a plan to do so, the three sisters heard panicking civilians rush out of their homes. Multiple cambion villagers ran for their lives. Each being is converted by the strange flames.A white hooded figure hovered over the village holding a long Celestial with a large eyeball at the end.“No stop it. Stop it” Taylor yelled a
“Do you see the connection?” Skin asked as soon as they stepped away from Professor Peterson.“Sure do,” Olivia replied quietly.“Don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out something so simple,” Roxy said with a mild hint of sarcasm.“Please!!!” Olivia warned in an annoyed tone. “And Roxy, can you please try to act a bit natural when in public?”“This is natural!” Roxy stared at Olivia, her eyes wide open. “Well… unless you want me not to act natural.”“Coming back to the point, I think you should talk to Captain Moss right now,” Skin suggested.“It can wait. You can see we have an urgent job on hand,” Olivia said thoughtfully.“Captain Moss needs to hear about this because…” Kai began to say.“Later! For now, we have to make sure that the chalice stays safe. Remember, Captain Moss said we must not take any action until we find a way to undo the spell. For now, we will just see that the chalice doesn’t fall into wrong hands. And we have to do that without raising any suspicions
With no other choice, the two of them decided to enter the service hall. They found a few empty chairs at the back of the hall and decided to sit there. That way, they could stay close to the door and monitor everyone in the audience at the same time.Most of the people were seated now and the Sunday service was about to begin. The Pastor was due to arrive shortly. The Prayer hall was exceptionally large. The ceiling was decorated in extensive stonework in the form of complex geometric shapes. The sunlight from the stained-glass windows of the hall threw patterns of light on the walls. Thinking that the church building must be very old, Olivia studied the murals painted on the walls. She could tell that most of the painting had been restored. One of the paintings particularly caught her attention. She thought that she had seen a similar one before but she couldn’t remember where.“They have been gone for a while now,” Kai said, shaking Olivia out of her thoughts.“What?” she asked sti
At the end of the Sunday service, the Pastor announced that the inauguration had been postponed for an hour because of security concerns and in the meantime a community bake sale was to be held in the courtyard. Most of the people were annoyed but they went out to the courtyard anyway.“Never will you find anything special in a bake sale. If you have been to one, you have been to all,” Roxy sighed.“So what exactly happened back there?” Olivia narrowed her eyes.“Nine o’ clock!” Roxy said in an urgent tone.Everyone quickly turned to look in the direction.“Seriously? How could you just look around like that; stare at them?” Roxy complained.“Look at who?” Skin asked while Kai kept staring at the blank air without saying anything.“That was our guy.” Olivia had seen him before he disappeared behind a pillar.They rushed to look for him but he seemed to have vanished in thin air. Olivia ran to the gate and saw him turn a corner and shortly after another guy, attired in a serviceman’s u
Back at the former orphanage, Onika arrives to the burnt down building trending cautiously.“Nelson?” Onika called out.Her call was met with an unwavering silence that agitated her sense of optimism.The priestess pulled out her amethyst from before to guide her to any trace of Styng’s magic.“Your not gonna trick me again, Bitch.”The stone pulled her forward, making her way up the stairs.“Nelson,” Onika shouted. “Nelson.”The priestess came up stairs, scouring the floor with no results.“Dammit. Where is he.The amyhest stopped glowing as she held it in her palm.“Seriously?”“Help” A second voice called out.Onika rushed toward the voice only to find it not to be Nelson but Officer Kyle.“Onika?” The officer uttered, pressing his hands over his bleeding stomach which had large bite marks on the right side.“Officer?” Onika kneeled down to examine the bite mark. A Manticore.”A what?”“The creature that attacked you. I can tell by the marks on your body.”Onika dug into her bag, p
Back in Olivia’s hometown, Norton Salem Cult and his wife Elizabeth were packing their bags. Norton tried to comfort Elizabeth as tears rolled down her eyes. “This was bound to happen,” he said. “I know, but she’s so young,” she replied, chocking on her words. Years ago, Norton had made the decision to leave the Coven forever. His mother, who was also a witch, had told him that he was making a mistake. However, Norton had made up his mind. Elizabeth didn’t want to have anything to do with the twisted world of magic and he loved her far too much to let her go. The book, nevertheless, was supposed to go with him. It was his baggage to bear. He was the only heir. He had tried to bury it as deep as he could but he had known all along that it would resurface. It was a legacy impossible to get rid of. The right person in his blood line would find it automatically. Little did he know that it would be his daughter Olivia. The curse of the Salem Cult had returned to haunt his child. He coul
Seconds later she felt like she was spinning in a whirlwind, being lifted upwards. Suddenly, her feet touched the ground. When she opened her eyes she and William were inside the premises of a huge building; The School of Paranormal Arts.“We will go to the dorms now and while on our way, I will show you around,” William said.Olivia was astonished by the strange world around her. The school was huge. She peered into the rooms as she walked in the hallway with William.“This is the right place for you. Here you are safe and you can practise your craft with freedom. Besides, no one will ever judge you here.” William tried to reassure her.Olivia nodded. Most of the young people at school seemed to be enjoying their time. She looked at the two guys sitting in a garden talking to a huge crab.“They are Ben and Zac and that’s Nelly, their pet crab. She is also their subject of study. They are experimenting with their mind control skills.” William explained.Olivia watched as one of the tw
William Morris sat in a busy café, alone. He was expecting his partner Allan any minute. Allan was running late as usual and William wished that this time it would be because he had a lead on the case. However, as soon as Allan entered the café, looking somewhat dishevelled and walking with a slight limp, William lost all his hope. Allan walked over to him and took a seat opposite to him.“You look like you have been outsmarted once again,” William said with disappointment.“I could use some food, I am starving,” Allan grunted easing himself in the chair.After a short while, a waitress approached and the two men ordered some food.“So?” William asked.“Well, they left no clue. I got the wrong person. They had charmed her into playing a decoy and I fell for it. The next thing I know is they had disappeared into thin air.” Allan explained.“Damn, we really need to do something about this. The bosses are not going to like this,” William said with obvious irritation.“I know Bill,” Allan
And now she ran for her life, with two goons targeting her in the night. She raced up to a civilian and tugged his sleeve, hoping to grab his attention. However, when this man turned, Olivia blinked when she saw a blank face. No eyes or mouth- just skin. She stepped back, but hearing the footsteps of her pursuers, she fled.Olivia’s heart pounded while she sprinted through the streets, not caring if she bumped into people along the way. She didn’t look up, afraid of what she might see.The girl entered an alley and expected she wouldn’t be spotted, but ever since she opened that book, things hadn’t gone her way. She reached a dead end and began to make a reverse turn but the guys blocked her path.“Nowhere to run, little miss.” One of them smirked and edged closer with each step she took. “We’re going to have some fun.”Olivia’s heart hammered against her chest and her back hit the dead end. She closed her lids, ready to accept her fate as they crept closer. But her trembling lips mut
God dammit, I hate being a witch! Olivia Cult walked alone, abandoned by her family at eight years-old. She wandered through the village renowned for its thieves.The young girl clutched her body, contemplating the circumstances that left her homeless and rejected.“Hey, kid,” a stranger called. “Where is your mommy? It’s not safe to be alone.”“Go away,” Olivia said, walking away. He blocked her path.“Did anyone tell you that’s no way to talk to a grown-up?”“Please leave me alone.”“You’re awfully rude. Don’t worry, sweetheart. Come with me and I’ll take real good care of you.” He reached out to Olivia but she stepped back.“We could do this the easy way or the fun way, kid.” The man licked his lips. “The other day I loved the fun way.”Olivia pushed the man away and raced away. Villagers saw this scene, but ignored it. Olivia frowned,wondering why no one intervened. *** Imagine this started because of a book that

Next day, the girls visited Maddie and she started to work on her spell once again. This time Maddie’s spell pointed her in the direction of the woods but she wasn’t entirely sure if it was the Crypt Keeper or something else. The girls quickly left for the woods; they had to find it and stop it before it struck again. William was out to see a police officer who was Amber’s close friend and they couldn’t wait for him.Once in the woods, Olivia, Meredith and Jill started looking around but everything seemed really normal. As they walked further down they heard a faint, muffled sound among the trees. They followed in the direction of the sound and as they got closer, they were shocked to see Gregory, sitting in his wheel-chair. He was gagged and his hands were tied down. The girls hurried to help him. They untied his hands quickly.“Watch out,” Jill screamed suddenly.Olivia turned around and saw a zombie standing face to face, staring at her in rage. As it moved closer to Olivia, Meredi
