Astrid POV
Arriving at the library me and Arista plop down onto one of the sofas."We will wait for Cohen to arrive and then we can begin" Fionela says writing scribbles on a whiteboard. "He needs to hurry it up a girl has things to do more importantly guys to screw" Arista says wiggling her eyebrows at me.
I let out a giggle watching Fionela frown at us." I'm sorry but... who invited you" she asks sarcastically I roll my eyes already knowing this won't end well. "I go wherever I please and if something is concerning my bestfriend best believe I'm going to be her support system" she snaps at the elf.
I watch Arista and Fionela glare at each other across the room. Finally Cohen arrives his hair in disarray and panting heavily, "sorry guys I was stuck in a meeting" he pants out plopping down next to me.
"Took you long enough I mutter" flipping my dark hair over my shoulder. "Wait shouldn't your brother be here as well" Arista questions now looking at me.
"Yeah I don't have the time to look for him he's probably out screwing some fairy" I say waving my hand. With that said we turn our attention to Fionela. "Alright so let's get down to business, we know that your father had help from black witches otherwise how else could he have stolen your powers so quickly" I nod my head in agreement.
"Now the only way to be able to get them back is well... we would need a black witch for that unfortunately" the elf says in pity. Arista raises her hand "why do we specifically need a black witches help why can't a white witch do the same" she asked.
I tap her arm excitedly "wow Arista that's like the first smart idea I ever heard from". Arista gloats in pride "yeah I know I'm a genius" we share a laugh Fionela glancing at us as if we are insane.
"It does sound like a splendid idea but... it's not that easy. Taking someone's powers requires skill once removed it can be quite hard to return it especially since your father has already absorbed it into his body" Fionela informs deep in contemplation.
"Sooo... why don't we try using a white witch first" I turn my body to Cohen. "Cohennn you are a white witch yourself... do you think you could give it a try" I beg using my cute pouty face. "I mean I could try my love... but there is no guarantee it even working" he says hesitantly.
"Alright well let's try" I say standing up pulling his large body up. "You guys need to stand across each other... and then Cohen using all your might push your energy into her body" Fionela says watching us intensively.
I stand tall as Cohen closes his eyes the energy pumping through his veins. For a brief moment I too feel that energy force its way into my body as if it wants to stay but it doesn't. When Cohen is done he drops his arms by his sides now seeming exhausted.
"D-did it work my love" he pants both of his eyes glowing vividly. I decide to give it a try lifting a hand towards a book on a table. Using some of the energy I was given I force it to move the book... but nothing happens.
"Welp... now what" Arista says breaking the silence. Fionela now stands next to me, "so... do you feel different" I shake my head in disappointment.
"Looks like we are going to have to move to plan B" the elf declares. I nod my head "okay so what's plan B". Arista raises her hand again before speaking "so I just wanted to know who put the elf in charge just curious" she jokes.
"First off you weren't part of this so I would appreciate it if you would back off" Fionela sneers. "Or what... whatcha gonna do about it elfy" Arista taunts back. Once again I interrupt there bickering, "guys I think we should be focusing more on figuring out how to get my powers back".
"I agree which brings me to my next point, I have a fellow friend who knows a black witch. I'm going to give her a call but for now we will wait" Fionela says erasing the white board.
"Welp let's go get some food now" Arista says pulling my arm. "We just ate like two hours ago" I say watching an exhausted Cohen now sleeping on the brown sofa.
"Wait... will Cohen be alright I know that took alot out of him" I mumbled. "Do not worry he just needs to regain his energy I will tell him you were concerned of his wellbeing once he is awake" Fionela says smirking at me.
"Pfft whatever... Arista lets go" quickly we run out the library to the cafeteria once again.
