Marceline is in her room as she keeps looking at the window, she already knows what will happen to Betty, Jazz if that magic affects her and Sky if she counters that magic. Two out of the three must suffer, she for sure knows that Betty will suffer, then it's between Sky and Jazz. She waited patiently, then the lightning struck, giving her a hint of what had happened already. It started to rain. She sighed as she went to her bed.
Few minutes later, someone knocks at her door. "Come in," the maid entered and bowed, while Betty entered in tears. Marceline sprung up immediately as she hugged her best friend, the maid left them and closed the door. Betty is so naïve to her, even when she(Betty) acts like she knows everything, she doesn't even know the kind of magic she used, she doesn't even know the consequences of getting involved in it, all she thinks about is how to get even and always makes things go her own way.
Betty is still crying as she keeps mumbling some words, Marceline leads her to the bed. "It's okay, calm down." She consoles her, while later kept hiccupping nonstop. She has not stopped the things she has been mumbling ever since she got inside the house. Marceline sits her down.
"Now tell me, what happened?" Marceline asked her.
"I didn't do it *hiccups* I didn't, I swear. I wanted to but her best friend stopped me, and when I saw that I felt very jealous of Jazz. Her best friend loves her so much, I wish someone could love me just that way." She cried. "No one loves me, nobody, everyone loves her, they all want to sacrifice themselves for her, they all want to protect her."
Marceline hugs her, "don't say that, people love Betty, you just don't see that, you have no time to look at yourself, you keep looking at other people's life which is very bad. You have to love yourself first, bring yourself first. Betty, look at me." She paused and made Betty look at her."I love you, your mom, your dad, they love you. Your friends, Shawty, Josette, and Stella, they also love you, all you have to do is open your eyes and see for yourself."
As she said all those things, it made Betty cry the more, the thing is, she hardly talks, a girl of few words, but when it comes to Betty she can say a lot. "It's alright, it's fine." She continues the consolation. There is nothing she can do, she just has to wait for her to calm down .'I guess I said too much today, oh goodness, Betty when will you ever grow up from all this unnecessary jealousy you have.'
Meanwhile,
While all these things were happening, some others were busy calculating the issue that just happened.
"Someone was trying to perform black magic this night, but I guess it was countered.." Ella frowns as she looks at Raymond, who came downstairs as he went straight to the dining table to take an apple.
"What? Why are you looking at me? You are the only witch that I have. Why will I want to get another one? Stop looking at me that way, I am innocent." He said at once, then munched his apple and shrugged. 'Who cares if anyone uses black magic, as long as you, Emily and Jazz are not hot, then they can suck, I don't care.'
That literally made her confused, she looks at him again, and she sniffs the air, Emily giggles as she looks at them, she hoping Raymond doesn't call her, he is quite fond of that, once he sees an opportunity to escape he will turn the tables on her and run away, later he will get a gift for her as an apology for what he has down, of course Ella can be crazy, but she will always calm down once he puts the blame on Emily, because she likes her. "Hey, is there something that you are not telling me?" she looks at him suspiciously.
"I am not hiding anything, of the truth. Ask Emily." He looks at Emily, but she is not there again. "Dear Lord, how can she do this to me? I didn't do anything." He looks back at Ella who is now getting closer to him. "Emily? Where are you? I need you. I'll take you to the underworld, you like it, don't you? Just this once." He moves back, "she won't believe a word that I say."
Emily finally comes out from her hiding spot, she wants to go the underground Raymond told her about, the night he read books to her, so ever since then she has been disturbing him. "Please Ella, he doesn't have any except you, honestly." She smiles at her.
Ella glares at Raymond and goes to the couch, trust is that, after the incident that happened between these three, the Emily stuff. She finally accepted them, at first she was allowing her hatred for them to cover the good they were doing for her, and now she is so grateful to them for saving her from her suicide mission.
Ella is still thinking about this mysterious rain, the mysterious lighting and all of that. "Ray? Today is the full moon when all werewolves turn, according to tradition, right?" she knows it, but still asked. Raymond didn't bother to reply to her, he knows how annoying she can be. "And tonight a mysterious rain fell, alighting and all that, it is definitely not a coincidence, someone tried to use magic that harms the werewolves." She concludes her theory.
Raymond stands up immediately when he hears about harming werewolves, the first thing that comes to his mind is, 'Jazlyn, is she okay?' he looks at Ella, who is still trying to figure things out in her own way.
"So the question is. Which witch wants to hurt a werewolf? And the magic did not go through because someone countered it, and it can only be a more powerful witch to do that, spell is easy to make, but takes a lot of energy to counter." She paused as she looked at Raymond, who was now running out of patience. "and with all this being said I can only come with one final conclusion. The witch that did the spell is Betty, and she intended to use it on Jazz, who is a werewolf, but Sky countered it, gosh that girl is really powerful, I envy her." She sighs. "Betty hates her for being the council president, to her it's her position and it was stolen from her, and she lost the Queen of the year to her. And you can only attack the werewolves on a full moon. Any other day is like digging your own grave." She finally concluded. "but….." oh she is not done yet? "The spell was not used on anyone, but those that stayed under the rain for long will have a little problem, which any witch can solve, but those that performed and countered black magic will definitely have a problem and needs someone powerful to get the magic out of them." She finally stops.
"But is Jazz safe? I need to go out there and look for her." He made his way towards the door.
"No. Stop, stop, stop, it's not safe for you either. Jazz is home already, safe and sound with her protective best friend. The witches in town must have found out about what happened that night and they will definitely punish anyone they see outside. Why? Because everyone is a suspect. So please stick your ass here and don't go anywhere." She yawns, "I am so tired from all my calculations, what a lazy witch I am." She leaves to her room.
Raymond escorts Emily to her room, before going to his, all lost in thought, he doesn't have her number, he goes through social media and finally finds her page wechat. And he decided to send her a message.
................
Betty is finally calm from all the tears and the explanations she made to Marceline. Marceline mistakenly held her hand and she winced. Marceline immediately pushed her clothes up only to see black stretch marks at her back. She knew this was going to happen, what she will do now.
"Betty, you feel good?" she asked.
"Just pain, that's all."
"The spell is taking a turn on you as someone who performed it. It's black magic, I saw this coming." She explains the situation making Betty speechless. "More reason why I didn't want you to do it and follow me back home."
Betty looks lost, what she has done, oh goodness. "Probably the witches must have noticed what has happened and will be searching the entire woods now for you. We have to look for a way to keep those two quite." Marceline suggested. "I'll meet them, don't worry, I'll get you out of this, let's first get this black magic away from you now, I'll call my mother and she will do everything to erase what happened that night." She hugs Betty who silently cried this time.
Meanwhile,
Inside a dark room, one can see a big crystal ball, turning into different colors, bringing out the faces of people on it. When the spell was performed and how it was countered, when the big and small wolves ran for their lives and how they were stopped along the way and how they turned back, these scenes are just moving in a fast lane.
"Who is this young girl that countered this spell, it's been long since someone survived, others are dead. I want to meet her." A young lady's voice was heard from the dark.
"She is from the Samuels family. The Samuels witches." A tiny voice answered. "You like her already? I am hurt." The voice giggles.
