The next morning, the energy coming from Scarlet was so intense that it prickled everyone's skin. To top it all off, Miley kept moaning and complaining about having headaches and weird visions, all the while blaming it on Scarlet, who seemed oblivious to what was happening.Brad pretended to cut the tension.Lizzy looked at Brandy and smiled.While Brandy looked down at her uneaten food."Are we still on for our training session, Scarlet?" Kera asked, trying to lighten the mood.Scarlet simply nodded."And can you help me with whatever is going on in my head?" Miley groaned."Sure," Scarlet said softly, but that was just enough to set the air at a high charge.Kate gasped, then laugh when Emma's hair started sticking up."It's happening to you too, to all of us." Emma laughed."Scarlet." Horatio rested his hand on hers. Her head snapped up. That caused Kate to screech when what felt like electricity shot up her spine.The chairs, along with the dining table, and everyone and everythin
"Scarlet, practice now?" Kera asked the minute Scarlet, and the others arrived back at the house.It was sometime after three in the afternoon, and Scarlet was thinking against it. But the look in Kera's eyes made her agree."Ok, I can, seeing that you really want to," Scarlet told her.Elijah, Miley, and Lizzy followed them to the outside as well.Once out in an open field behind the house, Miley was going on, and on, about how it was great for a powerful witch like Scarlet to teach them a thing or two.Lizzy snorted but kept quiet."Ok, first off, let me start with this. It's not to boast or anything, but I got my title of being the strongest witch for a reason." Scarlet said. "This is to let you know what you're up against if you are ever to cross me."After saying that, she placed her figurines on the forest floor and then chanted a few words which caused them to break and crumble.Lizzy tried to hold back a laugh but couldn't. "What were you trying to do?" She said in between lau
"I have something to show you," Elijah said hesitantly. He then took out two snake idols from his pocket. He let out a breath, and they transformed into enormous snakes the moment he did. A shadowy figure appeared beside Elijah, floating next to his head. It took on the form of a dog, who had miss matched gray and blue eyes."Oh no, what have you got yourself into, punk?" The shadow dog wailed, flying at Elijah.Elijah swatted him away, and he passed through a nearby tree.The big cobra snake seemed to laugh, while the other was shifting from one type of snake to the other."These are my snakes. The cobra is Stan, and the shifter is Chena. They are like your dragons, and that dog over there is my guardian, Shadow,'' Elijah explained, mostly Horatio, because he seemed confused.''I remember them,'' Scarlet said with a frown.As the words left Scarlet's mouth Chena attacked her but Defensionem blocked the blow, with Impetum went in for the kill. Scarlet had to jump in the way to prevent
Scarlet was in her room waiting for the perfect time to go visit the old hag Matthew and Karl always run to, but she knew something was up when she couldn't focus for some reason. It felt look a cloud was on her mind."I know April has something to do with this." Scarlet sighed.Scarlet went to her window to see someone was down below. She couldn't make out who it was, as a cloud blocked out the moon and proved no luminescent for her to see. She turned away and went out into the hall. She looked around before making her way to the window there, thinking that she could sneak up on the person who was sneaking around. So she jumped out the window, landing softly on her feet and walking on the tip of her toes.She walked the path she was familiar with, but when she got to where she saw the person, they were gone, so she did a spell to figure out who it was.''Brandy? What is that brat doing out here so late?'' Scarlet questioned herself.She shook her head after, thinking that she might n
Tiffany was just about to lie down when Lizzy appeared in her room. She smiled at her. "I have a job for you."****The next morning, Tiffany took her time and put on her uniform. She brushed through her stringy hair, pout her lips, then sighed.''First Karl, and Matthew, now Lizzy.''Tiffany looked at her clock, then look one last time in the mirror before walking out of her room and heading to the mansion, where she entered through the kitchen as she always does. She still felt bad for killing that old hag. She thought that Horatio would have done something to her, but she got away with it."Well, at least now no one can bribe her into talking about what she knows." Karl had said.He had promised Tiffany a better life at the mansion if she helped him, so she did. But now Lizzy was promising her a place in the world, a place to rule if she helped her. Naturally, Tiffany went for the highest bid. How could she not say yes?She swung open the closet door, taking out the broom and dust
"I'm sure it's nothing," Nikki reassured Scarlet, but reassuring herself at the same time, she too could feel that something was wrong, very wrong."Yeah, I hope so. I have to go do training." Scarlet got up to leave."Yeah, okay, I'm glad that you found your brother. I hope you find her friend, Selina, too." Nikki was genuine with her words.Scarlet smiled at her words. "I think I already found her.""And I know that you are Horatio's other half. You wouldn't be protecting us if you weren't. But why would Brandy pretend?" Nikki said, long after Scarlet closed the door.Nikki's mind drifted to the previous witch that pretended to be Horatio's mate, thinking that Brandy was acting the same way, just said mate once, and that was it. She even avoided Horatio like he was the plague.****Scarlet walked into the gym, her bare feet making soft slaps against the ground. She stopped right in the center of the basketball court, then turned her attention to her 'students.'"Ok pes—kiddies, toda
A noise came from the back of Horatio's throat that sounded like a dying animal after seeing Nikki laying on her bed with purple veins popping up her neck and forehead. She was not breathing as well."Nikki," Scarlet said, softly looking at the girl.Scott tried to touch her, but pulled back his hand, hissing in pain."It's wolfsbane," Scarlet told them, then look at his hand that is now green.Horatio went over to lift Nikki off the bed, ignoring the stinging pain. He placed her gently on the ground, looking up at Scarlet with raw emotion in his eyes.She understood what he wanted her to do."April, Eli. I'm going to need your help. All the wolves need to leave." Scarlet commanded.Horatio still had his hand under his sister's head. He shook his head, letting Scarlet know he was not going to leave."Chris, Zach, you guys leave as well. Wolfsbane might not be lethal to vampires, but it can do a lot of damage. Horatio, you need to leave. Stop being stubborn and just go!" Scarlet glared
"Emma!"The serin jolt awake, looking around her room."Who is there?" She called, then got up, opening the door, but no one was there.She looked at the black and gold wristwatch that Scarlet gave her. To see that it was three am, she groaned and went back to bed, falling into a deep sleep immediately. Dreaming that she was drowning in black water that was all around her, and she couldn't escape."Wake up, sleepyhead," Miley said, barging into Emma's room and pulling the drapes open.''Why are you in my room so early?'' Emma said, stifling a yawn."It's quarter past one, Emma. And what's that smell?" Miley walked over to the bed only to stop and ran out of the room.Miley ran until she saw Scarlet and dragged her along without an explanation.''Miley, can you let me go?''"No, I think something is wrong with Emma,'' the younger witch replied.Scarlet stopped resisting at that and those that were in earshot followed behind the two of them.When Scarlet entered the room, she saw Emma w
