" What the fuck did you do?", Jonie cried out as she jumped down the stairs through the railing landing gracefully on her feet.
" Don't take another step near her Jo", Liam said finally breaking out of the spell. Jonie turned back to him angrily as he approached,
" Why? You promised me the damned box Liam, that neck chain was my only hope and they took it from me and you think I shouldn't kill them", Jonie asked as she turned to face Peacelynn who had a solemn look on her face.
'Cerebrum Frigidus', she chanted raising her hand in the air as Peacelynn, Maverick and Rose immediately screamed in pain holding their heads, not having time to recover from their own dilemma.
" That should be enough now Jonie. I do not care if they die, all I am saying is you shouldn't be the one to do so", Liam said walking over to her calmly, knowing she was at her worst point as the cries of the three witches surrounded both his and Jonie's ears.
" Why should I give anyone the benefit of seeing them suffer for what they did, when I want to torture them by myself", Jonie yelled out whilst applying more pressure to her fingers as Peacelynn broke down falling to the floor, screaming profusely and holding her head trying to make it stop hurting. It seemed as though her head was being forced to split in two.
" They belong to Scott and you know he doesn't like it when he loses people", he said and that had her stopping, but it didn't stop the rage of the vampire that immediately sped into the Manor through the window, shattering the glasses in the process.
Lifting Jonie by the neck and tossing her away like a piece of trash. He glared at his brother as he punched him hard on the face and kicked him away with crazy force.
Liam flew across the living room crashing into the dining area whilst scattering the chairs in the process. He groaned softly before helping himself up. He turned to find that Jonie had been thrown to another hallway and seemed to have crashed into his favorite art portrait from 1889.
.
He would have made a ruckus about it if he didn't notice how his brother's attention diverted from them too quickly. He turned to the side to find his brother hovering over a girl with curly brown hair who lay on her side looking pale and nasty with the knives that shot out of her body.
" Get her out of here", he said softly in a pained tone but the witches behind him heard as they carefully lifted Josie who thankfully, still had a pulse.
Peacelynn didn't even let herself recover as she walked away with the other witches who had come in with Scott following her sister like a doll.
" I don't understand why you would send those children to get what rightfully belongs to me", Jonie spat out after regaining herself, calmly walking towards Liam for protection.
" I don't care what fucked up deal you and Liam made, we both know that necklace isn't yours to begin with and I don't understand any of the things that happened here today but you took it too far Jonie. You had no right to lay a finger on them", He said in a cold tone. His hair slicked back making him look like an untamed Greek god.
She runned her hands through her black hair frustratedly. Scott turned to stare at Maverick who was coming down the stairs alongside Rose whilst carrying Alice in his arms.
He rushed to their side observing Alice who looked very pale. " What happened?", he asked staring calmly at her then at the blonde haired witch boy. " She was attacked by poisoned razors, she needs to be treated immediately", Maverick responded in his thick British accent.
" Josie has poured some herbs but it only slowed the poison", Rose added not daring to look Scott back in the eye. His gaze moved towards her before travelling back to Alice who had her eyes closed with her brows furrowed.
" Take her out, get in my car, I'll see to it things here are taken care of", he said softly as Rose and Maverick nodded simultaneously before walking into the living room and straight towards the doors.
'Reserare', Rose chanted a spell and the door quickly flew open. She and Maverick walked through heading towards the two cars. One obviously belonging to Liam and the other Scott's.
Maverick got into the back seat with Alice in his arms while Rose shut the door with them inside as she got into the passenger seat waiting for Scott.
He soon came outside walking in large strides towards them. He was dressed in a black suit as though he had been in an important meeting before getting the news that they were in trouble.
He got into the car and without paying any attention to her or Maverick, he started the car and drove away from Liam's eerie Manor. Rose plumped on the passenger seat, today had been a handful and it still wasn't over. She remembered how all the knives had gone straight for Josie with her being able to do nothing.
Her eyes became Misty, Josie would be alright, right? She can't loose anyone because of her foolishness, it would be so unfair.
She stared out the window. The sky was now dark but yet the people of Brookeville still remained wide awake moving about like it was still daytime. What a free town, nothing like the one she was from.
★★★★
" I'm leaving", Jonie blurted after having a cup of tea with Liam who had decided that they had one to calm the atmosphere.
She got up from the couch and he followed suit. She smiled softly at him and walked towards him as she enveloped him in a big tight hug. He returned it back calmly.
She pulled away afterwards as he escorted her to the door. " Maybe I was meant to lose the neck chain because now I have to visit Lionel's daughter Addison, I guess she will have what I need", she said softly at the door.
Addison was a witch who could control the air according to her wishes and Jonie had no idea of visiting her before but now she would. The witch in particular was young and known to hide under so many disguises but Jonie hoped she could get her message across.
" Wish you the best of luck Jo...", Liam said enthusiastically as he watched her walk into the darkness disappearing into the woods surrounding his Manor. Once again, he was alone.
★★★★
Maddie climbed on her soft bed as the door made a clicking noise proving that Brenda had just left the room. She sighed tucking herself into her warm blanket. Turning to her side, she just lay unmoving as her thoughts wandered everywhere.
Avery, Julianne's friend, had finally said something after minutes of fiddling with her fingers. She said she wasn't present but her sister had told her.
The night Lilian was with Vanessa in her room, Vanessa kept on tossing back and forth and murmuring absolute rubbish about darkness and being buried alive.
At a point Lilian had to slap Vanessa to get her to calm down but all the strong girl did was break down in tears. Avery had fiddled with her fingers once more before finally letting it all out.
She had spoken out words that still give Maddie the worst feeling. She said Vanessa had tried to remove her bracelet from her wrist hurting her skin in the process but the damn bead wouldn't come off.
After calming Vanessa to sleep, Avery's twin sister, Lilian had then snuck out through the window but she had nothing to do with Vanessa's sudden disappearance.
Lilian seemed to have over heard their conversation because the moment the car parked in front of Avery and Lilian's cozy apartment. She stepped out of the car on her own and rushed to the driver's seat grabbing Maddie out of the car with force.
She gave Maddie a sound slap on her cheeks as she pressed Maddie's back to the car door. " You had better not let anyone know about this. I didn't do anything to Nessa, I didn't", Lilian had screamed out as she wound her fingers around Maddie's neck trying to choke her.
It took Avery's plea and fighting to get Lilian off Maddie but even at that Maddie wasn't bothered about the sudden attack.
Her mind was just stuck on one thing. Why the hell would Vanessa try to take off her bracelet and why the hell did it end up in her locker, what the freaking shit is going on?
Maddie frowned deeply. Reaching out to the lamp on her bedside table, she stared once at the bracelet on her dressing table and with a deep sigh she turned off the lamp causing the light in her room to turn off.
