The Sacred Six

The Victorious

"Three days? I've been here since last night? Say her name? What do you mean? I'm so confused." "Well she is a demon, so you need to say her name, yes you banished her temporarily but she will be back, and soon! You've been out for about three days now. Sleeping, according to my knowledge." Phoenix looked at Rowena and shook her head, before she could even ask, Rowena answered her question, "We put a sleeping spell on you to conserve your energy, you are vulnerable and we needed to make sure that you are prepared for what is about to come." "And what is that exactly?" Phoenix asked, "let me show you..." Rowena responded, she motioned for Phoenix to follow her. She walked to the bathroom in the main bedroom. "Close yourself in here." Phoenix did as Rowena said, she could hear Rowena chanting outside the door. Phoenix looked in the bathroom for something she couldn't find when she turned to face a mirror that hung from on the wall she was surprised to see it light up and show the face of her dear brother. His face bruised and his lip busted but he smiled and you could clearly see that tears had formed in his eyes staring back at Phoenix. "Nix..." He said looking exhausted like he hadn't slept. "What happened to you Rowan?" She asked feeling a little relieved now that she has seen one of her siblings. "It's not important at the moment. All that matters is that you are coming back. We need you Nix, and we are so sorry that you have gone through this. I am so sorry, I should have stopped you before you went to Mason. I regret it now." He said, "I don't know if I can get out of this Rowan." "Please Nix, we need you now sister, its almost the witching hour and we will be going to war, we need you here to help us!" "Like I said Row, I don't know how to get out of here,  I have a demon outside the cabin, and besides it will take me at least two and a half hours to get back to the academy." "We can't do this without our priestess. I can't fight without my twin."

"You don't have much time left!" Rowena shouted from outside the door. "Stay strong brother. I can't promise anything." Phoenix said before the mirror went into darkness once again. She walked out of the bathroom and looked at Rowena, "The Mock sun is tonight?" "Yes, my dear, and we have a short time before the witching hour occurs so we need to get you out of here?" "I thought it was the witching hour?" "No dear, the time lapses are very different because we did the spell to put you into a deep sleep. Now let's move on from this with speed, we have to get you to the academy,  or else everyone will be dead." "So how do we get through this s**t show?" "Well first what you are going to do is invite her in..." phoenix nodded, getting eager to leave and return to the academy. She thought of her dear mother, all the good things Amythyst has done for her throughout the years, and how this demon has taken on her mother's form to trick her, to harm her. 'My mother... she was a good mother, always...' she thought, preparing a salt passage from the door to the chair, just as Rowena told her to do. She put salt everywhere and then finally got ready to open the door. 'This isn't mom...' she reassured herself as she moved closer. She opened the door and it was in a matter of seconds the demon was standing in front of her. "Hello mom..." she said calmly and smiled, "You know throwing salt at people isn't nice." "A lot of things are not nice at the moment.  Anyway, why don't you come in?" This imitation of her mother nodded and followed the path of salt to a chair that was surrounded by a salt ring. Phoenix sealed the door with salt without the demon seeing and then as soon as the demon sat on the chair she sealed the ring closed. The demon laughed as she saw Phoenix do it. "So I'm trapped!?" She spat out with a wicked laugh. "Reveal your name?" "My name is your mother. sweet dear." "You are not my mother!" What is your name demon?!" Phoenix spat again, and the demon just shrugged. The demon's smile grew, a sinister eerily smile that stretched from one ear to another. It was creepy and sickening. "Well if you won't tell me I will just find out for myself!" Phoenix said, putting two fingers on the centre of the demon's forehead, it sent Phoenix into a Trans and then she had somewhat of a fit, shaking her body fell to the floor. She opened her eyes to Rowena helping her up. "Oh child I thought I lost you." she said, the demon was not in the seat anymore. "What possessed you to touch a demon?" Rowena asked concern in her voice.  "Where is it?" Phoenix asked, slowly Rowena looked up at the roof, and there sat the demon upside down on the roof like a horror movie. "Leave now..." Phoenix ordered Rowena, "The demon isn't here for me, it's here for you!" Phoenix added, "With these hands and with this spell the power within me is here to repeal, may the forces within me protect from the Dark and repeal all evil that wishes to make a mark!" Phoenix shouted towards the door, of the bedroom that Rowena had run into, she closed it with salt. Then turned to see the demon had taken a seat in the chair she was previously in. The salt circle was opened from where she had fallen onto the ground which made sense as to how the demon got out.  "No rest for the wicked." Phoenix said pulling another stool in front of the demon, "Oh dear I'm not wicked. " "I wasn't referring to you." The Demon laughed, "You were in my head?" "Yes, and I didn't know that a strong and oh so powerful demon would be a minion to Lysander?" Phoenix laughed, "You are making a mockery of me?" The demon asked, "It was a normal question? One that you can answer can you?" Phoenix mocked, "I owe you nothing!" "You don't, and I owe you nothing too, but you can't hurt me,  you can just tell me your name and why you are wanting to possess Rowena?" "Oh, you still don't know my name?" The demon responded thinking that it has won the round. Phoenix just shrugged, "So I made a deal with Lysander, years ago, and I intend on keeping to the deal." "What do you get in return?" "That is non of your business, just like what my name is." The demon responded with a laugh, "So you really think I'm that stupid?" The demon's eyes suddenly widened, a hand full of salt suddenly flew the demon's way, "I banish you demon from this mortal plain to yours! By the name I speak, you will disappear and this will be the last of your presence on earth! I call your name Bezeldabee! Leave and be banished! So, Mote, it be!" Phoenix screamed, and with a howl and a hiss the demon disappeared. It was moments later Rowena appeared. "You knew its name the whole time?" "Yes. I needed to know what they were planning, I couldn't reach that far into her head." "But what did you see?" "I saw destruction, death and I saw, her possessing you again, as Bezeldabee was the demon who had previously possessed you, and she was back, Lysander sent her." Phoenix took a breath, "she sent her to possess you, and take your body to kill your sons, but what she wanted from this deal, I needed to find out. I was running out of time. I had to let her go." "Well, it's a good thing you did. Cause we have to prepare you for the mock sun."
