The Witch's Revenge Chapter 52
But Pedro gets between us before the situation can escalate. Even though I remember what a useless fool he used to be, it's still a bit hard not to blush when he gets close. The Silent One actually bothered giving him a makeover! He gave him a firmer jawline, better hair, and much sharper features, getting rid of the baby fat that seerned to plague him. Right now, there isn't a single imperfect on Pedro's chiselled body no moles, freckles or scars. He's also taken to wearing leather, which certainly helps.But that is not what I am after. The True Path takes precedence over all. Anybody who follows the Master for any other reason is a fool. The goal has never once changed. The true believers strive for it-yearn for it. The fools who expect their new lives to remain that way forever are in for a big disappointment."Can you two not go at it for a single day?"Artemisia narrows her golden eyes the eyes of a witch who chose Dark. "That depends. Can she not be a bitch for a single day?"I

"Thank you.""I didn't.... Oh, nevermind. So, what have you been up to?"I shrug. "It's only been a few days, you realize." It's the tenth of January, the first school day official starting tomorrow.There's something I have to ask, though. That's the one big thing that's on my mind"Maya, have you been having strange dreams?" Such as seeing all these people from school inside some strange garden you've never visited before, per chance?"Oh, uh" Blushing, she starts rubbing her knees together. Wow, she's got it bad. "They've mostly been about Erik" Oh, that is just so lame. "I know it's pathetic, but I can't seem to think about anything else."Neither can he, apparently, walking over and throwing his arm around her, pulling her in. "Hey, babe."She smiles up at him, their lips mere inches apart. "Hi, baby"Right here in front of everyone, they start making out. Even Antoine, usually stoic, calm, unwavering, looks uncomfortable"Should we give them some privacy?""I have a better idea"

"Count me in," Antoine adds with a small smile, directing it at me. "Promise you're gonna wear that to class?"I walk up to him, resting a hand on his chest. "I only put this one on to not make a big splash on the first day back. Wait til you see the other ones""Y'know, my mom's a model. If fashion is your thing, I can score some outfits for you."Oh, where have you been all my life?Well, this past week. Before that, I wasn't all that into fashion. All I cared about was looking good. That and glorious vengeance, of course, but that urge has been sated."One small problem, lan starts. "Rosa isn't here."Right. That might be a problem. "Any of you hear from her?" Since we went on a brave quest to save the world, I mean.Nobody offers a response, predictably. With no signal or internet, we don't exactly have a habit of exchanging phone info, since we never get to use it while we're here. Figures nobody bothered to get hers."We could talk to a teacher about it?" suggests Maya. "I don't

The news covered that? How? With what footage? There's no chance any chopper could have withstood the magic being sent around that place. An illusionary jungle was created for miles around it, too. Did they just use words?The lack of an image is very likely to have the common masses just as fearful as the students are.Quinn, shoulders slumped, sits down on her chair. "I think you deserve to know. Really, I do. It's just not that simple. There are things you can never know about him things you aren't physically able to know. I'm sorry you're scared, and I'm sorry some of you will have to leave, but my decision is final. I'm not saying another word."She tries to make us focus on more nonsense with our guardianshaving them manifest into our world and such- but I'm pretty sure the mood is too dead for anyone to focus.Levitation is a welcome relief, as always. We simply practice some of our moves. Now that Rosa is gone, only Diana and I are actually capable of flight.Roger is here, to

"Weren't the Old Ones human once?""That's correct""Then how can they be infinite?"The class starts murmuring and muttering, everything along the lines of agreeing with her. I was about to ask a similar question, so I'm glad she opened the topic up.Grey looks like he's uncomfortable talking about this, but still decides to answer. "The Old Ones, the Light and the Dark-they are all people. Not one of them is the same thing they started as. Caught in endless wars, they diminished one another to the point of humanity, an existence of the lowest layer, managed to steal their power and overtum them.The same applies to the Dark and the Light, then."What about the Light and the Dark?" Diana asks, neglecting to read my mind."That one is slightly different." Grey tums back toward the board, his back as full of white as one might expect, drawing a few chuckles. He erases the tip of the pyramid entirely. "The Dark and the Light started out with two names, same as the Older Ones. Yahweh and

ANASTASIAThe maid is beginning to irk me. The fool is incapable of dusting anything off without dropping it. The earrings we gave her are the only reason I haven't fired her aiready. If she can't offer good services, at least she can offer her energy. Shouldn't be long before her Soul Seed shows itself.I wish there were a quicker method. The Heralds are hunting for us relentlessly, always sending one of them to search. the globe. The Master is keeping us hidden from them, but that simply means wasting his power on things other than his revival, slowing things down even further.I enter Doctor Crowley's lab, the scanner set to recognize my eyes. Once inside, I walk over to the large glass wall, through which the Doctor is currently looking. "You called, sir?""It's about to happen""What is, sir?"A man is inside the other room, in the nude, strapped to the operating table. He keeps twitching around, his eyes flickering with a strange, red light. Every few seconds, a rune appears on

He just gives me a wink, saying nothing. Alright. Keep your secrets."Dreamcatches are typically used to protect children" Diana continues, shooting lan a quick dirty look. "These would be woven in a slightly different pattern. The dream bubbles would have to go through them, where they'd remains until we burned the catcher and saw the dreams inside the smoke. That's the only method described here."If she knows that, she must have gone through the entire damn book. How? How can a person read so fast? She has to be using magic for it. If so, she better share.Antoine's fingers gently, reach for my lower back, giving me a pinch. I reach over to his face, flicking his nose harshly enough to make him wince. His response is to shove his fingers under my ribs, forcing me to squirrn back as I try to get away. This only results in my elbow hitting Maya in the back."Ow. Watch it, man. That hurt.""Sorry""Are you children quite done?" Crossing her arms, Diana starts to fume "Honestly. How ca

HOTARUPotions aren't really a class I remember all that much about, for whatever reason. Quinn is the teacher, and seems to be looking kind of stiff whenever our eyes meet. Why do I not remember this?I seem to remember the potions well enough, I just don't remember learning how to make any of them. What gives? It's a class we only take once a week, so it should be pretty memorableSeeing that one of the pages of my book has had its comer folded, so I turn toward it. 'Memoria Damnum: How to Delete Someone's Memories.I guess that explains it.With Mac no longer interested, Maya is the only other person who bothered to take it, and this is the one class she excels at. Doesn't take much magic control to make a potion work, so I guess it makes sense she'd put all her energy into this.it's the last class of the day, so we're all free to meet up once it's over. Other than Diana, I'm the first to arrive at the library, Maya probably heading off to meet with Erik first to try and steal eve
