The Sacred Six

The kaleidoscopic

“Whose Possessed?” A voice near them asked, the four of them suddenly looked to the direction of the voice. Valkyrie stood there with her hands on her hips frowning at them…

“we asked everyone to stay put Valkyrie? What makes you an exception?” Stone spits out, he was surprised, she was like a Ninja, Silent and deadly as she arrived in the same Perimeter as them without making a sound. Valkyrie had a slight grin on her face. It was sadistic and unusual for the siblings. “Okay well I think I need to go…” Adawulf said looking at Rowan and Phoenix. “Please come with me Stone…” He asks, then looking at Stone. Stone nods without asking any questions, “I’ve got some work to do, but we will be back…” Adawulf looked at Phoenix and Rowan not being specific for the very reason Valkyrie stood a few meters away and he didn’t want to seem suspicious. Before He could leave with Stone He felt his hand being Tugged, “Thank you again Adawulf… You really helped me today, I am so grateful that we met…” Phoenix said with a smile, he returned it and looked towards Stone, “Oh sugar, I’m also grateful that you guys met…” Stone said grinning from ear to ear, With a understanding nod, they were off.

“Why are you here?” Rowan spat out at Valkyrie, “Phoenix said I needed to prove myself so I’m here to prove that I can help you with whatever problem you guys are facing…” Valkyrie said innocently, Phoenix looked at the sky, with all of the issues they didn’t notice how late it was in the afternoon, that the sun began to set, only giving them only about an hour until the sky was consumed by darkness. “Lets get the others and go for Dinner, then we can get an early night… Stay with us Valkyrie…” Phoenix said. Rowan knew that Phoenix was nervous around Valkyrie. He saw his sister bite her lip numerous times indicating this, but he didn’t question why she had asked Valkyrie to stay with them. He knew she had a plan of action and wasn’t going to question it. “okay…” Valkyrie simply responded. Walking off before them. Rowan and Phoenix were both shocked that the girl didn’t put up a struggle but they were definitely not going to query it, just in case she was possessed.

It was frightening for them to think about. Their sister was a person that took advantage of them, but for them to actually feel that a possession was at work, and that this girl really had bad intention was what scared them the most. Before they arrived at this school she would have never voiced her anger or belittled her sister. She always remembered to hold her tongue in certain situations, and she would have never attacked someone’s s****l orientation, especially because she had two siblings that had been in same s*x relationships. Phoenix and Rowan knew that their sister was a bit too much sometimes, but she definitely would have never left Phoenix in a state of convulsion to go with her friends. Their mother brought them up thinking Family was important, for her to just turn into someone with absolutely no feelings, whatsoever, made them think that this was part of the warning that the familiars were giving before they left.

Adawulf took Stones hand as they walked to an unfamiliar building, well, To stone it was Unfamiliar but to Adawulf, it wasn’t. “where are we going?” Stone asked, “To the Library…” He said Nonchalantly. Stone nods, then continued to walk, “I have no clue who you are but I just feel so comfortable being around you…” Stone said suddenly, “Twin flame Meetings are not all the same, I mean, Look at Mason and your sister… Mason has known all of his life, well this life, When he finally told your sister then she felt the feelings. Look, I knew you were out there… Maybe if you didn’t come to this school I would have lived my life without you. I’m glad that we found each other. This has been the best day of my life. Just because I have met you… We fulfill each other…” Adawulf says, stopping and pulling Stone in front of him, so that they are looking at each other. “I don’t know, Maybe I’m just scared… I mean the only people I know are my siblings, and its all new to me, I’ve had boyfriends before but never, with these intense feelings…” Stone says with a small smile on his lips, “we will take it slow… I’m not forcing you into anything, all I know is that I love you already… it doesn’t need to be understood, why I have these feelings towards you, Like I say Twin flame effects are often different, and if this makes you scared…” He gestures between them, “Then we will take it slow…” He finishes with a smile. Stone returns his smile, feeling as if he is suddenly on cloud nine. “Come lets go, before it gets too late…” Adawulf says grabbing Stones hand again pulling him towards the cobblestone building.

“Are you closing up now Aisha?” Adawulf asks the Librarian who had a key in the door. It was evident that she was but Adawulf still asked, “Yes dear, but if you bring me the keys after dinner then I will let you in… Just make sure that you two are the only ones inside…” She says kindly, He nods taking the key from her and opening the half locked door. They both enter, and Adawulf locks them inside. He walks to the back passing thousands of books on the shelves, and he makes his way to a small section where three computers sit. Stone follows suit. Taking a seat at an empty chair next to Adawulf as he starts up the computer. “What are we looking for?” Stone asks in a whisper. “anything that has something to do with possessions, Those books, are on that corner shelf…” Adawulf says pointing to a small corner shelf. Stone stands getting a few books off of the shelf and places them down on an empty desk. As Stones Goes through the books, Adawulf rummages through some old articles on the computer. “Ha…” Adawulf huffs out, “I think I’ve found something, that can be related to Valkyrie, but you might not like it…” Adawulf adds, Stone raises his eyebrows and scoots his chair over. Sitting near to the computer. “So look here… Lysander Married a Selected witch… Rowena. Everyone believed that she was possessed, but in fact your father wrote an article about possession. He wanted to reveal the truth saying it was in fact a possession but she wasn’t the one who put the possession on herself. He talks about the mind readers, how they couldn’t see into the minds of the possessed, the fact they had become nasty… Above their normal character… It says here, ‘they’,  in a sense welcomed the possession, but in turn, the possession is like a spell cast on them.” He said pointing to the paragraph in which all of this was stated. “I honestly do not think that she is possessed, I think she has a spell on her… But I think that this spell was placed on her as soon as she came to this school. If she was honestly possessed it would never have happened so quickly… You said that she basically ‘turned’ as soon as the convulsions started with Phoenix?” Stone nods, “Phoenix told him he was a bad witch…” Stone adds, “She was right, We can feel this stuff, and Your sister was spot on…” “Why do you think this Crowley is doing this? What do you think he wants?” Stone asks puzzled, “I don’t know… But I’m not waiting to find out, I mean we have to do a retracting spell on her so that she can come back to the living…” Adawulf says with a little panic in his voice. “Babe, I don’t want to… you know burst your bubble, but we have just like got to this school… today, I mean… I don’t think it will be possible to use magic if we don’t know how to use it… We have just received our powers, and we haven’t even gone to a single class… What the hell are we going to do…” Stone asks, “Have you ever heard of energy magic?” Adawulf asks causing Stone to shake his head, “Hello… Rookie witch in training…” He says with a slight giggle, “Okay well just you and your siblings being In the same room as where the spell is happening, is Energy Magic. Basically the spell feeds off the energies of all those around, causing a greater effect and the out come often is well received…” Adawulf says warmly, Stone nods, “I suppose whatever it takes right…” Stone responds. “Okay but before we go I just… I Just cant resist…” Adawulf says leaning over to Stone and capturing his Lips with his own. The kiss intensified, and Stone felt as if his whole world had faded away and it was only just them two. It was on another magnitude, and he had never felt so many butterflies in his life, swimming around his every empty stomach. He suppressed a moan, but then Adawulf pulled away leaving his lips empty and bare once again. He touched his lips as if it felt wrong that Adawulfs lips were not on his. “Wow…” Stone says, He was speechless from the kiss, he was yearning for another. “I’m afraid we have to go… I would never be able to continue taking it slow if we are alone…” he breaths out. His brown eyes twinkle with love as he looks at Stone. “What do we do first?” Stone asks, suddenly coming back from his fantasy and into reality. “well first we have to find a way to tell your unpossessed siblings about this without making Valkyrie speculate….” Adawulf says, “well this isn’t going to be easy…” Stone says huffing slightly.

“Do you want my chocolate pudding…” Phoenix asked Valkyrie looking at her with a sweet smile. “yeah You know I don’t say no to Pudding…” Valkyrie smiles back, taking the pudding from Phoenix’s tray. Rowan, Phoenix, Demetria and Pagan felt Awkward sitting in the cafeteria. Ever since they arrived, everyone in the Cafeteria was looking at them strangely as soon as they got there. Valkyrie was happily eating her Pudding minding her own business. Mason was on the other side of the Cafeteria sitting with Trinity and her group once again. Phoenix often glanced over to them and then down back to her food not touching it. Gaia was sitting with them, she found it hard to leave Rowans side since the dorm. Rowans heart broke every time he saw his sister look at her twin flame and picked at her food. “I don’t want to say this in a horrible way, but you kind of pushed him away Nix…” He whispered for her to hear, “I know…” She responded looking at Mason again, then back down at her tray. “why don’t you just speak to him? Alone?” Pagan Suggests, “I’m so confused at the moment, and I’m not one to go back on my word… You know this?” Phoenix says sighing, “Well just don’t lose him…” Demetria says sincerely, “I fear that has already happened…” Phoenix says, her guilt and hurt evident in her voice. “Sorry to change the subject but are any of you weirded out by the fact that all of the people in this Cafeteria have been staring at us strangely?” Pagan says looking around suspiciously. “yeah I’ve picked it up…” Demetria says, and the others nod, “Look, Adawulf said we are like celebs in the school maybe that’s the reason… When we were here previously they didn’t have a chance to scope us out, When Aerson announced our arrival…” Phoenix said, “Such the know it all…” Valkyrie spits out referring to Phoenix. Phoenix lifts her hands up in frustration, “what the hell is it with you Valkyrie… I did f**k all wrong to you and you carry on being a b***h. Be patient and continue and I will knock your socks off… With the sarcastic f*****g comments, Stupid b***h!” Phoenix spits, in a yell whisper, standing abruptly, and taking her tray to the tray deposit, then storming back to the dorm.

Valkyrie smiles sinisterly. “Yeah your too much… I cant wait until your sister hits you…” Pagan says also standing to follow Phoenix out, Not long after Rowan, Gaia and Demetria did the same. Leaving Valkyrie alone.

It was fifteen minutes later, and the four siblings were sitting in their room when suddenly the door swings open and there stands Mason holding Valkyrie bridal style in his arms. Phoenix sits up on her bed smiling. “what happened?” Rowan jumps up helping Mason carry their youngest sister to her bed. “God! I didn’t like the way she was acting I didn’t say she had to die!” Pagan gets up in a panic. Phoenix doesn’t move a muscle she just watches the rest of her siblings that were in the room, in panic. “I just saw her leaning on the lockers, her eyes were closed and she looked as though she was drowsy… She has a pulse but I don’t know what happened… I just caught her before she fell and brought her back her…” Mason says, “Relax… She’s just sleeping…” Phoenix says, resting her head on her headboard and staring at her siblings and Mason. “How do you know?” Demetria asks, “Well I put her to sleep, so I would know…” Phoenix responded Nonchalantly. “How? with what Magic?” Demetria asked stunned that her sister possessed this Magic suddenly, without training. “No… No Magic… The chocolate pudding…” Phoenix responds. Rowan Clicked as soon as she said it, He chuckled lying back down on his bed, at ease because he realized it wasn’t a threat. Pagan and Demetria looked at her sternly waiting for an explanation, “Okay so, Were we really going to sit the whole night with that fools comments in our ears, God no… Well I wasn’t for a second, and well we couldn’t give the b***h back to Crowley so I had to give her something to put her out… Temporary…but strong as hell… besides? There is something wrong with her? Since when has she ever eaten chocolate pudding?” Phoenix says with a smile, “Oh God, What did you give her…” Pagan asks, “Just two sleeping pills, Look she creeped us the f**k out today and I just didn’t feel safe sleeping with a psychotic b***h in the same room as me…” Phoenix responds Nonchalantly.

Before Pagan or Demetria could respond, Stone and Adawulf storm through the door… “We have to do an exorcism!” Stone yells in a panic.  "What?!" Pagan shouts out looking at Stone in shock. "Okay so she’s really possessed?" Rowan asks, Demetria and Pagan look at him frazzled. Is this what you guys were discussing outside earlier? That Valkyrie is possessed like in Demon Possession?" Pagan asks. "You didn’t fill them in?" Stone blurts out at Phoenix and Rowan. "We didn’t have a chance to... you saw Valkyrie down stairs next thing you know, Nix asked her to stay with us then she was like always with us. We don’t have the gift of mind reading you know!" Rowan defends. "Okay so fill us in! She’s asleep!" Demetria says with her hands on her hips. "So We think she’s possessed..." Rowan mumbles out, "Ha! What next? We are all shitting rainbows and butterflies?" Pagan responds in a non-believing way... but when she see's Stone, Phoenix and Rowans face drop, she stops her sarcasm immediately, " you guys aren’t Joking?" She ask panicked. "Now I’m sorry to get involved but I would like to clear a few things up here...." Adawulf chips in, "we won’t be performing an exorcism... it is a possessed like state... it’s basically a spell that makes her look and feel possessed but she is kind of but she isn’t possessed by a demon. It is the person that placed the spell on her. Your father had written an article about Rowena. A selected witch that dabbled with magic that she was not qualified to use... necromancy, and apparently a possession took over her body but your father had other theories..." he adds, "how did you know about the article, I mean surely it wouldn’t be open to the public. If it was about Rowena or Lysander for that matter..." Rowan asks, "well school archives... I don’t think the witches in this school know how to use a desktop computer. Not only that, but I do have access to the archives, not many in this school have access..." Adawulf responds, "So what now? What do we need to do to get this thing out of her?" Pagan asks, "well it's a good thing you guys picked it up so quickly... she could have gotten worse... first things first... I've brought my Grimoire and my casting stones. My Friend, Calypso is on her way and what I need you five to do is to Make a few pentagram with this…” He hands Pagan a piece of chalk. “Where must I draw the pentagrams?” Pagan asks holding the chalk, “you can draw 6 symbols around on the wall, then a huge one on the concrete ground…” He says walking towards Valkyrie who was on the bed. He sat next to her and then whispered somethings. The siblings watched not knowing what to do next. “Can we help?” Rowan asked, “Yeah, Um… I need you to make a circle, around the pentagram on the floor once Pagan is done drawing it… Mason you can sit on Phoenix’s bed and just maybe Meditate…”

Suddenly the door swings open, and a young women, with curly long blonde hair walks in holding a cauldron in her hand and a broom stick under her arm. “Hi!” she says with a smile almost pulling the cauldron in. “Lyps! You are here, thank God… You know where the cauldron goes…” Adawulf says using the hand to show her where it must go. “Good… rude off the back… I will just introduce myself then…” She says extending her hand out to Rowan first, Her accent was not American it sounded English, As though she was from England. “Calypso… Celtic witch at your service…” She says shaking Rowans hand, “Oh God, I’m so sorry Lyps, I feel like I’m so caught up… “ Adawulf says speed walking over to her, “This is Mason, Phoenix’s twin flame…” He says introducing them, she shakes his hand, “the heavy lifter you just met was Rowan Grove, and this is Pagan Grove…” He took her over to Page, they shook hands, “This is Phoenix Grove, the oldest of the Grove Siblings…” Phoenix smiles at Calypso sweetly, “I’m not going to shake your hand but very nice meeting you… thank you for helping…” Phoenix says kindly,  with a nod and a smile from Calypso, She moved over to meet Stone, “This is my Twin Flame… Stone…” Adawulf smiled as Calypso shook his hand warmly. “Oh and last but not least, This is Demetria…” He said turning to the last awake member in the room. “Hi…” Calypso said taking her hand gently to shake it, “Hi…” Demetria responded shyly, “Nice to meet you Demetria…” Calypso says looking deep into Demetria’s eyes, as if she was in a trance, “Demi… You can call me Demi…” Demetria responded, showing Calypso her perfectly straight teeth. She was shy suddenly around Calypso but didn’t understand why… She had light sensations erupting in her stomach.

“Okay lets start… Caldron in the middle of the pentagram, surround it, Then… Um Mason can you get us some water… There should be a bucket in the bathroom down the hall, if you could bring at least half a bucket it will be great help…” Mason nods at Adawulf’s request, Getting up to fetch the water. “Now… Lyps? Where is the candle?” He asks, “In the Cauldron…” she responds picking up the casting stones and handing them to Phoenix, who was seated next to Rowan On the Pentagram,  Mason was back with the water. Adawulf lite a white candle, and put it on a nearby table, thanking Mason and filling the cauldron quarter way with the water. “ We will use the casting stones and the cauldron in a moment. What I want you five to do is to Hold each other’s hands, and picture a spell being broken, while Calypso sweeps around you. Please don’t break the circle and please try and put all your energy into this.” Adawulf says, and they all do what he says they close their eyes,  all of them had different ways of thinking of breaking a spell, Demetria, pictured  two hands pulling a rope and someone taking a scissor and cutting it dead centre, while Stone pictured the spell being written down and being burned, Pagan Pictured a jar being buried, and Rowan pictured a piece of wood with the spell written on being broken in half. Phoenix on the other hand had a vivid premonition, She pictured Crowley sitting at a desk, whispering words into thin air, he had casting stone and his eyes were a raven black, no pupil, no Iris. She pictured him choking slightly as if he was being strangled, he came back to life after a few minutes, clear eyes and confused, Slamming his hands on the table in frustration. The casting stones thrown around the room.

In the background they hear a slight chanting, Calypso was sweeping her broom, you can clearly hear her steps and her sweeps… “As I clean and sweep the ground all the evil is now bound, I clear and banish all profane, now only love and blessings remain…” Calypso chants, her chants become louder, and Adawulf Joins in putting all his energy in the cleansing, Soon after a few chants, the siblings start joining in one by one. Until there was a sudden Silence. “You can open your eyes…” Adawulf said as he takes the white candle putting it on a holder, and then putting it into the cauldron which was already filled Quarter was with water. “I will keep an eye on the candle as soon as the flame hits the water, we need Masons help just to remove the cauldron… Phoenix, you can now throw the casting stones, then all must close your eyes and visualize breaking the spell, please don’t break the circle, and focus your energy on the candle, it will burn faster…” With that Phoenix threw the stones, and they all closed their eyes, While all the siblings had visualized the same thing as previously, Phoenix didn’t, she saw Crowley again, this time with someone else, they were in front of the same desk, the second person was just a shadow, no face was revealed. It was dark they were chanting words. In another Language, On the table was a piece of hair, a used condom and some blood in an ampule. It wasn’t a lot of blood only a little… Suddenly a gust of wind blew and Crowley’s head rolled back his pupils disappears to the back of his head and revealing his raven black eyes again.

“Black Eyes… Latin… Foreign language… Blood… Hair…” Phoenix started calling out but she didn’t open her eyes… “Oh s**t…” Adawulf said suddenly hearing Phoenix, “Keep your eyes closed guys don’t open them. Focus all your energy… But don’t open them…” There was a moment of silence before Adawulf spoke again, Chanting Words in another Language, “Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio, infernalis adversarii, omnis legio,, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica, Ergo draco maledicte, et omnis legio diabolica, adjuramus te, Cessa decipere humanas creaturas, eisque aeternae Perditionis venenum propinare, Vade, Satana, inventor et magister, omnis fallaciae, hostis humanae salutis, Humiliare sub potenti manu dei, contremisce et effuge, invocato a, nobis sancto et terribili nominee, quem inferi tremunt!”

After that it was silence again, Phoenix suddenly started laughing, her eyes were closed but she giggled and snorted and Laughed, Pagans one eye opened looking at Phoenix. “My God that was so Hilarious!” She laughs out… Then Adawulf started to laugh uncontrollably. “Can we open our eyes now?” Demetria asks frustrated that they laughing for no apparent reason. “I thought that me telling you what I was seeing was useful…” Phoenix looks up at Adawulf with a smile, “Oh sweety it was but I just wanted to liven up the place…” He says back winking at her… “I don’t know anyone else on this God given planet that has memorized those lines, I mean I must be the only Person. Well besides from you…” She responds chuckling as Adawulf walks over to the cauldron and picks up the candle.

“Um Can anyone tell us what is happening?”  Pagan Asks abruptly, “I will tell you in a moment girl, we have to move fast with the candle… Mason… Please get the cauldron… Or better yet, Rowan…” Rowan walks over and picks up the cauldron with ease following his sisters and brother. Mason, Adawulf, out into the court yard. Calypso staying behind. Adawulf hands Pagan a small shovel and tells her to dig a hole in a nearby flower bed, which she does. He gives Demetria the candle and tells her to bury it along with the water and then he tells stone to cover it with the soil. Once they were done they all stood looking at each other…. “What next?” Pagan asks, “Now we wait…” Adawulf responds, “How long?” Rowan asks, “It can be days… it can be weeks… First time doing this spell, all it said was to have patience…” He responds, “What the hell happened inside with the Latin and the speaking?” Demetria bursts, obviously it was eating her up inside. “Okay well I can answer that… I had like a dream like thing, and I’m sure you guys heard me say the words about the blood and stuff, well I thought that what I was seeing was going to help with the spell..” Phoenix said before she could continue though, Adawulf spoke, “It did help… Its just, I added a few, inspirational quotes from my favorite series, just to set the mood…” Adawulf chuckled, “So I immediately recognized the words, and that’s why I laughed because it was like he was making fun of me…” Phoenix said also giggling, “Don’t tell me it was the supernatural…” Pagan said hearing her voice she wasn’t impressed. “So the Latin had nothing to do with the spell?” Demetria asked, “Nothing, the spell was almost over, it probably did though because the amount of energy I put into that was excessive…” Adawulf huffed. “Oh my God, You guys are so dumb!” Demetria huffed and rolled her eyes. Phoenix and Adawulf then looked at each other laughing again. “We were in the moment, why not Throw in a Latin exorcism and see what happens?” Adawulf sighed out. “you guys like to play with fire…” Pagan Smirked following Demetria, “ ’Father’ Adawulf…” Rowan nods walking off after his sisters, “You know I was really worried! You ass hole! If you weren’t my twin flame you would have been kicked in the ass!” Stone said looking at Adawulf with wide eyes, “ I really thought there was an exorcism happening…” He adds, “I’m sorry come here…” Adawulf says engulfing Stone in a hug, “Lets go in…” He adds. They follow Rowan, leaving Phoenix and Mason alone.

“Nix…” He says softly, “Mas…” She responds, “I’m sorry…” She says bowing her head slightly. “I know you are…” He walks closer to her, but she holds up her hand, “I’m not going back on my word Mason… I need you to wait for me… Until I’m ready. I’m Jealous and I’m nasty sometimes, and I’m sorry… I feel like I want my bread buttered on both sides, and I cant do that to you… I’m keeping you hanging… I think its better that you find another room for the time being… Just until I figure my s**t out… I will be jealous… I’m not going to lie but I want you to have your freedom in that time… Go be with Trinity if you want… I mean I see how you guys have a connection…” She said now looking at him, “I don’t want Trinity, but I’m more than willing to give you your space, I will find another room and I will wait for you no matter what….” She nods, to his response and he pulls her in close to him kissing her forehead, it was unexpected but it felt so nice. He pulled away smiling at her,  “I better go…”  He says and then in a instant turned and left. She walked back to the dorms hearing screaming coming from the room. She picked up speed entering into the room. On the bed was Valkyrie sitting straight up being cradled by Demetria and Pagan. “What the hell is happening?!” Phoenix yelled above Valkyries screams. “she woke up…” Adawulf shouts back…
