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
When Olivia, Meredith and Jill got home, William and Amber were waiting for them.“Will it help you if someone did a locator spell for the creature?” Amber asked.“Mine turn up no results but we could try,” William nodded.Amber grabbed a small post-it from a desk nearby and wrote an address.“Can you handle this on your own?” William asked, handing the address to the girls.“Sure,” Meredith said, taking the post-it.Next morning, the three of them set off to see Maddie, an elderly witch who lived in an isolated house near the woods.“She is good at spells but obviously no one takes her seriously,” Amber had told them.As soon as they walked onto her porch a line of fire appeared from nowhere, blocking their way. Shortly after that, an elderly woman appeared on the porch.“Leave my property you, monsters! I know what you are,” she said.“I read your vibes and I will not let the likes of you harm people in this town as long as I am alive. You must know that my power is threefold,” she
When Meredith woke up, she was breathing heavily and her mind was full of fog. Jill and Olivia were leaning forward, looking at her closely.“Are you OK?” Jill asked with concern.“We are glad you decided to come,” Olivia smiled.“I was dragged here. I was trying to stop you,” Meredith gritted her teeth. “And where are we?”“Let’s go and find out!” Olivia suggested.“You don’t know? Brilliant!” Meredith 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?” Meredith asked.“Nope,” replied Olivia.“Is this place close to your home?” Jill asked.“No it isn’t, I want to say there was a glitch but…” Olivia said.“Is that even possible?” Jill asked with disbelief.“I don’t think so. The two of you must have messed up the spell,” Meredith said.“I say, keep walking, let’s enjoy our time while we are here,” Jill said cheerfully.Olivia smiled and th
“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
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
“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
