“Olivia!!!” Meredith shouted at the top of her voice, shaking Olivia out of her state of insentience.“What? Oh, Did I …” Olivia looked around nervously, snapping back into reality.Yes! Once again! And this time you totally freaked me out. I have been shouting at you for the past couple of minutes but you were not receptive at all,” Meredith said with apprehension.“Well, I guess this is my life these days,” Olivia said with disappointment.The incidences had become regular and more frequent. Lately, she had found herself completely unable to block out Lilith from her mind who now terrorized her, day in and day out. She was now using alternative tactics to gain control of the young witch’s mind.“Olivia you got to find a way out of it,” Meredith said.“Or judging by how the things are going right now, I might have to learn to live with it,” Olivia said with conviction, a sad smile playing on her face.“None of your pessimistic talk again!” Meredith warned. “You can’t just give up and
Keith entered the diner after a good hours wait and shot straight towards William.“This is Olivia and this is Holly. And Olivia and Holly this is Keith,” William made the introductions.Keith was a tall guy with dark hair, sleekly swept away from his face. Olivia thought that he had a funny moustache, that made him look like a comedy character.“So the murders are saturated around the less populated area including the one, where we are right now. The authorities think that there is a psychopath on the loose while I think otherwise. I have been extremely vigilant about supernatural since my best friend was killed in an attack. I would rather not go into the details but the Agency intervened to save my life when the police couldn’t have possibly saved me. It’s been around nine years now and I have stayed in touch with the agency since then. Years ago, I made a pledge and here I am today so you can totally trust me. Give me a shout out if you need anything. I will facilitate you in ever
At night Olivia once again woke up horrified and sweating profusely. The nightmares were getting worse and Lilith was in her head more often than not. She lay flat on her bed and pulled on the covers. She knew she must get some sleep because she had a long day ahead of her.On the other hand, Lilith was happy with the creation of the Gemini curse. She was already bound to Olivia and with the creation of power of the Gemini, she was becoming able to exercise greater influence over Olivia’s mind. Lilith knew that the curse could be activated every seventy years and she was glad that this time the ones who had chosen to activate it were the soulless Sri-cult. It was to her advantage that Olivia remained unaware of the fact of activation of Gemini complex. It gave her an advantage. She knew that once she was able to get Olivia to do the release spell, she would be free to walk free on the earth. *-*-*-*-*-*-* Next day when
“Well, I think this will do,” Meredith said adding the last bits of wood to the fire.“Is this the closest we can get to celebrating Halloween?” Jill giggled.It was the 31st of October. Olivia, Meredith and Jill 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 couldn’t bear the thought of living away from her parents and siblings. On the day in question, Meredith had found her crying alo
Few minutes later they entered a small house on a cross road. The lady of the house was a young doctor who worked at the local hospital. She had arrived home a few minutes ago. She introduced herself as Amber. William explained that Amber was one of the “facilitators” for the Agency. She had moved here six months ago. Upon noticing something unusual related to the deaths of the young people, she had alerted the org. By the time William took on the case, the situation had progressed with two more murders on hand. The police had found a pattern to the murders but obviously they were clueless about the involvement of supernatural.Amber welcomed the three of them. Dinner was a takeout. The three girls were quite unhappy because their adventure had turned into a nightmare that they were not ready for.“Serves you girls right, you were supposed to be on a break but since you chose to be here, let’s use your expertise,” William said. “What I would like you to do is, finish your dinner off q
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
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
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 couldn’
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

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

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
