After dinner, Elizabeth sat in her dorm room, thinking about the past events. So much had happened during the past few hours. She looked at the book with determination. She decided she was going to face her fears. She opened the book.
“Bonnie! Speak to me,” She heard the hissing sound. It was Zai.
“What do you want?” Elizabeth asked.

“Elizabeth Chan, Bonnie Jones, June Violet, and Taylor Wilde, I have made a decision. The four of you will be training as which detectives. I see a lot of potential and I think that you will make a great team. So, I am entrusting you with this task. Coordinate with the students, keep them safe and eliminate the monster,” she instructed.“Wait, I mean, it’s a huge responsibility and are you…” Victoria trailed off, trying to figure out what to say.“Here is everything the three of you need to know,” Ms Philip extended a paper towards Bonnie, completely ignoring her concern.“Weaknesses, strengths, history, etc.” she said in a casual tone. “It’s called the Archfiend Monster.”“I don’t think I am ready for this” Elizabeth protested”.“Paranormal is such a big world. You can ne
Elizabeth was sitting in Ms Philip’s office when she regained her consciousness. June and Meredith were seated next to her.“What happened? I thought…” Elizabeth tried to speak.“Well, the three of you just came back from the parabola. The good news is that you have passed the test. You are now ready to be trained as detectives,” Ms Philip said in her calm, unconcerned tone.“I don’t understand,” Victoria said.“The Archfiend Monster project was a test to see if the three of you have potential and if you could work together as a team. Of course, we will not put you up against a real monster, Would we?” Ms Philip said in her icy tone.The three of them looked at her in disbelief. Minutes later they stepped into the hallway smiling.*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*Elizabeth entered her room and turned the lights on. She took a few moments to let everything sink in. She thought about the

While Elizabeth and Holly were walking back to the B&B, Kathy and her two friends, stood far away and looked at the two girls who had checked into the diner a few hours ago with a man. Kathy wondered what could possibly have brought them here. They were elegantly dressed and looked like ‘big-city girls.I would love to mirror that one,” Kathy said pointing towards Bonnie.I like the other one,” Meryl said. “She looks quite exotic. Do you think she probably has some Asian blood? I mean, look at her eyes.”Kathy looked at Meryl and both burst out into laughter.The guy who accompanied them was already bored with the conversation, so he decided to take a leave.“I’m off now,” he said. “And you know where to find me, in case…” he said, boredom obvious in his voice.“Good luck Edward,&rdq
They returned to the B&B late at night, but Elizabeth could not sleep at all. Next morning, when she set out to get some fresh air, she met Tessa on the jogging track. They jogged on for a while and later, Tessa offered her a coffee. Elizabeth looked at the time. She was not expecting to see Lady and Holly for two hours, so she agreed. After coffee when they walked back to the B&B Elizabeth realized that she had loved the small talk with Tessa. She was not sure if it was just a change, having a friend outside the supernatural world or it was something more.When Holly woke up that morning, she saw Elizabeth and Tessa returning from their walk. A broad smile spread across her face, but it vanished as quickly as it had appeared when her excitement was overshadowed by concern. Elizabeth came from a world of supernatural and no matter what, she was going to have to return to that world. Holly just feared for the heart break that Elizabeth was going to have, and she
At night Elizabeth once again woke up horrified and sweating profusely. The nightmares were getting worse and Zai was in her head often. 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, Zai was happy with the creation of the Gemini curse. She was already bound to Elizabeth and with the creation of power of the Gemini, she was becoming able to exercise greater influence over Bonnie’s mind. Zai 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-Wilde. It was to her advantage that Elizabeth remained unaware of the fact of activation of Gemini complex. It gave her an advan
After lunch break, Elizabeth hurried towards the main office. Too little time and she had too much to do. Northstar and Alan along with another one of their colleagues had left on a mission, assigning most of the tasks to Elizabeth and Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a newbie who knew far lesser than Elizabeth. This meant that Elizabeth had to take care of a lot more stuff than she could handle, and she was overwhelmed.“Elizabeth!” Elizabeth called out from across the hall.“Yes?” Elizabeth sighed.“Detective Morris is waiting for you in his office,” Elizabeth informed.“Who?... Northstar?” Elizabeth asked with surprise.“Yes, he’s here to see you,” Elizabeth confirmed.Elizabeth looked at the open door on her left and walked in.“Northstar? What are you doing here,” Elizabeth said entering his office? “I thought, you were…”“Alan a
Once inside the hotel, Northstar and Elizabeth waited in the lobby while Agatha checked them in and got the keys to their rooms.“Looks like there is a lot of drama surrounding the whole thing and the press is making a big deal out of it,” Northstar said pointing at a TV screen in the lobby that showed an anchor-person speaking to a police officer in a foreign language. “Anyway, the course of action should be to visit the places like tourists and look for leads. It is really going to be no more than hit and trial.”“I can book us on the tour guide bus,” Agatha offered cheerfully.Elizabeth stared at him sharply.“Or maybe not,” he shrugged, quickly altering his statement.“Well, it’s already late. For today, let us hang around in the vicinity of the hotel to see if we could find a lead,” Northstar suggested getting up to leave the hotel.Once outside, the three of them walked
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
