“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

Next morning, they set out on a tour of the city. The local high street was extremely busy, most tourists seemingly unconcerned with the killings. They stopped by a few places but found no clue.“The police seem to be everywhere,” Olivia said.“The high street and the hiking trails are a bit notorious and a few robberies have taken place over the past few months,” Romos explained.After roaming around for a couple of hours they finally headed towards the museum. It was an old building, mainly displaying paintings, old volumes of books, a few daggers and some ancient pots that looked like cauldrons.“Huh, those must amuse some people who think that witches have hooked noses, wear pointed hats and fly on brooms,” Romos commented as he gestured towards the cauldrons.“Can I help you?” a sharp voice said suddenly, startling Romos.They turned around to see a young woman in her early 20s. She had frizzy hair and was wearing a uniform. She spoke with a heavy accent.“My name is Annie and I

After lunch break, Olivia hurried towards the main office. Too little time and she had too much to do. William and Alan along with another one of their colleagues had left on a mission, assigning most of the tasks to Olivia and Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a newbie who knew far lesser than Olivia. This meant that Olivia had to take care of a lot more stuff than she could handle and she was overwhelmed.“Olivia!” Elizabeth called out from across the hall.“Yes?” Olivia sighed.“Detective Morris is waiting for you in his office,” Elizabeth informed.“Who?... William?” Olivia asked with surprise.“Yes, he’s here to see you,” Elizabeth confirmed.Olivia looked at the open door on her left and walked in.“William? What are you doing here,” Olivia said entering his office. “I thought, you were…”“Alan and June are taking care of that stuff. Anyways, we have a pressing issue to attend to which is why I am here” William replied.“We?” Olivia asked.“That’s right, you too!” he said pointing to a

The team decided on their course of action. Hansel would stay in the parabola and collaborate with Maxine and try to stop more abductions. Olivia was assigned to lead the team that would go to Chicago Illinois. Skin, Kai and Roxi were to accompany her. Olivia and Hansel decided that they would stay in touch constantly with each other and with Meredith.The next day Olivia, Skin, Kai and Roxy teleported themselves to Chicago Illinois. They landed close to location of the church and began waiting for their aid.“The Agency has a lot of sources in the human world. They understand our mission and approve of our ethics that’s why they provide us support, whenever needed,” she explained to Roxi.“I think our guy is here,” Skin said, pointing towards a middle aged man who looked like a stereotype of a banker.“I’m sorry, have you been waiting long?” he asked cheerfully.He introduced himself as Kevin Miller. He was a banker and lived in a beautiful villa on the outskirts of the city.“So you

An hour later, Olivia walked into Moss’ office. She could see that the atmosphere was really tense. Apart from Hansel there were three other agents in presence. Olivia immediately recognized the two agents sitting opposite to Moss. One of them was agent Kai sparrow, a 16-year-old Native American warlock. He was a tall guy with dark hair and piercing hazel eyes. Although he was notorious for his arrogance, Olivia felt that he was very capable. The other one was Skin Walker. He was a shapeshifter and Olivia didn’t know much about him. He was around 17. He had the appearance of a typical rebel at high school. She didn’t however recognize the women sitting on the right. She was petite and had long hair braided into what look like a long tail thinning gradually towards the end. The braid was set onto one of her shoulders. She sat straight. Olivia noticed that she was looking at her with what she would call “a mixed expression”. She couldn’t help but wondered if the woman recognized her.It

He had no answer. Her memory had been erased. She had no recollection of her previous life. Although this made the life of those dealing with her at the Agency easier, it raised red flags. There was someone out there who knew about her powers.The fact that the girl thought of the runes as her toys was overwhelming. They couldn’t take them away from her by force, not at least until an ongoing investigation about her bloodline was concluded. Perhaps the child’s soul was bound to the runes. They had to make sure the girl won’t be harmed if she gave the runes away. For now, it was enough to warn her but the problem was she had to be calmed down. Her anger provoked her powers and that could be lethal since the girl hardly understood anything at this age.The witch doctor decided to put her under a spell. It was a hard decision to make but the child had a tendency to summon fires and floods as soon as she was offended.Today, when Samantha was brought into Dr Aegle’s office, she had asked

As soon as Hansel left, Captain Moss flipped open one of the files on his desk. He began looking at the two recent cases of abduction. He carefully read each and every detail about the history of the forelocks that had been abducted.The motive was unclear but he suspected that the abduction might have to do something with Harold Hurst – The Warlock Alpha. He made a mental note to talk to Maxine about this. Perhaps she would be able to give some insight into this. He marvelled if the hooded figure was Harold Hurst himself. Although his mind dismissed the idea the very next second, thinking that this might be a possibility, he decided to work on the abductions first.The news of the third abduction came in when he was busy reading the files. Meredith walked into her office with the message.“Paulo, the Music Demon has been abducted from the arena,” she told him. “The staff in the arena got in touch a minute ago.”“Do we have the full details,” he asked.“As much as I could gather. An a

Olivia, Sam and Scott left Captain Moss’ office.“As if the damage already done by The Blessing was not enough,” Sam murmured.“The briefing is scheduled to take place during the second half of the day. I would like to get a bite before that,” Scot said, ignoring Sam’s whining.Olivia broke off from the group.“Aren’t you joining us?” Scott asked.“I’m good. I’m not eternally hungry like you,” she replied, taking a turn towards left.She headed to an iron bench in the garden. She would rather spend the afternoon alone than hanging out with her colleagues. Her mind could use a little peace. The last few weeks had provided her with life changing experiences. She had been disowned by her family, yet again. And to make the matters worse she had lost faith in friendship after what Jill, who was actually Tabitha, had done to her.She closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the bench. She wanted to resurrect Jill and give her another chance at life. Moss had disapproved of that, knowi
