Eva left the car and the driver forgot everything. Not knowing where he was and how did her reach here, he saw Eva who was now a stranger to him. With amusement he struck his head out of his car window and asked,
" hello beautiful, do you know what this place is?", he asked.
Eva smiled viciously and gave him the direction to reach back to the main road where he had arrived from. The man was now thankful to Eva and he went back wondering how he took the wrong right turn. Eva smiling beautifully filled with eagerness to meet her coven started walking in the dark woods. Darkness was all around except the moon which was giving her light to trace the path. The trees were bushy and had almost even blocked the light from moon. Eva twisted her fingers and said,
" luminaries ", and her palm emitted light.
She walked on the path until she reached a point where the light from her hand reflected back to her. She was astonished and angrily walked towards the point but the moment she reached there it felt as if she just bounced on a transparent door. She realised that she has been banned from the coven. With rage blowing in her for something she had never done she started banging the invisible door and screamed,
" let me in... I belong to this coven. I am Eva bloody Scott... open up or I'll destroy the mirror itself" she screamed.
Slowly the transparency became opaque and again transparent but now she could see the truth behind that door. It was a magical door from which humans can pass to a parallel world with no witches and the witches who have been banned will not even be allowed to pass through the door.
Eva saw Lavender, her childhood friend looking at her like a curse. Lavender was ready to snide and the moment the vision on both the side became clear, the criticism started with Lavender speaking,
" look who is back from the arms of the devil. Did he abandon you which is why you are hear?", Lavender asked.
Eva nodded no and with a deep meaningful smile and proud chest she said,
" I killed him"
The gossip increased amongst the witches as they started talking amongst themselves. The winds blew against Eva's hairs and she understood that the witches were trying to confirm this news by checking her souls purity. She was not scared. The breeze stopped and the witches were confirmed that the devil is dead. Noman, the king of the witch coven, an old man with wrinkled face and hands but a shine on his face as he was a Phoenix. He have lived a thousands of lives before and was about to die soon and will rise again from his ashes. He came forward and without hesitation invited Eva,
" you can come in ", he said.
The invisible door was no more a boundary for Eva as she crossed it to enter the coven when Lavender spoke,
" how can we invite her back to the coven? She has caused a lot of destruction before and had helped the devil so much"
Anger was radiating out of all the witches except Noman who was calm and was looking at Eva with a hunger that needs to be satisfied. He didn't answer Lavender and turned around saying,
" you can occupy your last room", he said.
The witches were astonished and kept distance from Eva as they didn't really wnat to talk to the traitor. They ignored her and walked beside her hurting her shoulder with theirs and gave her a rotten look. Eva was resilient and surpassed all their comments. She had a chance now. She decided to rest for the time being and would try to make friends tomorrow in the morning. She walked to her foregone shattered house in pieces.
The roof was half collapsed and the walls were broken with huge holes in it. The furniture was all broken and Eva smiled as she talked to herself,
" looks like these bitches made my house a punching bag to take their anger out."
She rolled her eyes and raised her arm. The entire house cleaned up in less than a minute. The roof was joint and the walls were mended with the furniture in place cleaned and the house beautiful with lights on. Lavender watched all of this from an distance and was shocked wondering where did Eva actually learnt that trick from.
Lavender immediately raised her gown and walked to Noman.
" your grace.... Eva Mended the entire house in a minute without any support. She is something else. She had learnt different tricks", Lavender spoke.
Noman gave her a vicious evil smile. His cold eyes had something very bleak hidden as he said,
" when I searched for Eva's soul, I found two souls there. Eva didn't kill the devil, instead she gave him birth in herself. The devil's powers are now Eva's. She is powerful and tomorrow is full moon. We can sacrifice her tomorrow and will gain all her power ourselves. Just make sure that she doesn't run, make friends ", Noman said and Lavender understood him.
She had to be good to Eva so that she believes in her and tomorrow could be presented for the sacrifice....
