"BROSKI CU VE LOBROTO-" the witches echoed
They were trying to channel their ancestors, breaking the bond Elaine had done some centuries ago. Elisa, the leader of the witch fraction believed in the legacy of Elaine but the witches were at war and they needed protection. The witches were at war with the vampires, they had declared war against the vampires and the only leverage they held was that the vampires ain't aware of the war yet. The witches want Bay Horth back and will do anything at any cost to get it back but the vampires has a secret weapon- a very strong one that made their hold on the town so impossible to usurp. It was rumored that the vampires has a witch they had compelled to do their bidden.
Kol had broken his promise after Elaine had made him a bracelet to shield him from sunlight. He attacked the witches and took over Bay Horth. That day became the new dawn for the vampires and for years now, a town they once lost became their home again.
"We are at war with the vampires" Lisa began "Protective magic is all I crave for. The vampires are our fiercest enemy, waging war against them must require a lot from us- we must be steps ahead of them"
The coven was so excited, the legacy of Elaine was about to be adjusted. The legacy of channeling all powers to the ancestors; the legacy of using coven magic only; the legacy of banishing the evil witches.
"I won't ask for anything more from our ancestors, I only need the powers to protect ourselves"
"Why don't we take all our powers back: both solo and protective magic- we should be able to do all" Leah said
Lisa scoffed, she knew Leah had always been a pain to her ass. Leah is the coven second in command, she doesn't believe in the way Lisa was handling things. Leah had tried splitting the coven into two. She was often regarded to as the evil witch.
"The ancestors are dead, so let their powers be our power. Instead of making their spirit survive on our powers. We are at war and we need to be fully prepared"
"Leah! Can I see you for a minute" Lisa called, moving away from the rest of the coven.
"How dare you speak such of the ancestors? I wasn't the one who set this legacy, every witches after Elaine had followed this legacy- so why should it change with me"
"Things are different now! We are at war, the vampire ain't an easy opponent. During the time of Elaine, she was done fighting wars. The citadel was peaceful, she had been successful in binding every supernatural. Guess she was bored, she had nothing more to do. So channeling the witches powers to the ancestors was the next thing she could think of"
"Leah! What changed your believe? You weren't like this when we were kids- we haven't even done solo magic since we were born. So why the sudden urge for it?"
"I don't know- guess I just want to be at my full potential"
"This isn't the same innocent girl I grew up with- you have changed... A lot!"
"Time changes people sister" Leah said with no remorse.
"We have a legacy to follow. A legacy that as kept the witches going"
"Oh! That old legacy- set almost 200 years ago. Things as change now Lisa, all fractions are at war. The earlier we- witches realize this, the better"
"We are good witches- never forget that Leah" Lisa said as she went to join the rest of the coven.
The rustling of leaves alerted the witches. They had stopped meeting at their sacred ground, they had chose the oak tree. The oak tree signify a meaning to the witches. They believed the tree as some kind of spirit embedded in it, and that spirit will shield them from the evil that is to come. They had elude their sacred ground after the incident with Elaine. Sylvia, the leader of the witches after Elaine demise chose the oak tree, and for decades now the tree has always protected them.
The rustling of leaves became audible as a teenage girl in her sixteen's rushed out of the trees.
"Freya" Lisa called out at the sight of the familiar figure. "What was the outcome of the bait?"
"It was bad, mom"
"What happened?" A witch asked.
"The werewolves were successful in apprehending Adam, but his friend intervened. He was too strong, and so fast- I have never seen anything like that before. He took out all the wolves alone-"
The witches began to murmur among themselves. Curiosity had began to wallow in their head. They were eager to know more about this particular boy.
"Which of Adam friend is that?" Amy asked.
"He is a bit lanky with a black parted coiled hair- and probably average- I don't know, it was dark and his presence was fearful" Freya said.
"He has just two friends and they follow him around at night" Lisa said
"But those his friends looks like dummies" a witch inserted
Leah smiled at the turn out of event. She wasn't in support of the plan in the first place. The only thing she was after was getting her powers back. So whatsoever plan Lisa had put in place doesn't interest her.
"So our plans- all gone" Leah said, mockingly
"No, aunty" Freya retorted "they didn't know I was a witch- I pretended to be compelled just to get out of there. And beside- the plan turned out in our favor. A wolf was bitten.... And you all know what that means- war!"
Lisa smiled at her daughter accomplishment. She had sent her on a dangerous mission, a mission that could cost her life. She has nothing to protect herself; No magic- No spell books- No magical bag.... Nothing! She was just going to pretend to be a normal teenage girl and would use herself as a bait to lure Adam into the wolf hill. The witches had been on Adam trail for months. They knew everything about the sneaking out- the roaming about- Everything!
Revenge is the only goal of the witches. Taking back what was theirs is the only thing keeping them breathing. Destroying the descendants of Kol would be the price for killing Elaine. The witches have tried different methods to wage war against the vamps. Lisa knew confrontation will require a lot of bloodshed from both party, so she wasn't ready to watch her sisters die. The only method she thought was getting an Olsen blood. With that, none of the witches will be hurt.
Binding the Olsen blood with some magical concoction would kill all Olsen. And when the Olsen's are dead, the vampires they sire would be very easy to banish. So getting Adam blood was Freya mission. Now that the mission had failed, the witches will have to look for a better strategy.
