“Why is she screaming?” Phoenix asks, “ I don’t know she just woke up like confused and stuff… She didn’t know Calypso and she like just started screaming!” Adawulf said, panic evident in his voice. Phoenix walked over to where her sister sat with Valkyrie, she knelt down so that she was looking directly at Valkyries face, “Valk… I’m gonna need you to calm down…” She says in a sigh stroking Valkyrie’s face. Everyone was so focused on Valkyrie and her crazy screams that they didn’t notice Stone. He clutched his head in pain rocking himself back and forth. Valkyrie looked at Phoenix… “Nix… I’m so scared…” She said calming down, “Of what?” Phoenix asked frowning. “Of what’s about to come…” Valkyrie responds and then suddenly her eyes were closed and her body was relaxed. Everyone stares at Valkyrie in shock. “What the f**k just happened?” Phoenix said standing up, she turned around to face the rest of them but her eyes were set on Stone. “ Oh my God Stone?!” She said sprinting across the room to him as he still clutched his head. “I saw everything…” He whimpered out, Adawulf was by his side in seconds rubbing his back and apologizing. “Nix… What she went through mentally… Just being under that spell… I don’t know how anyone would have survived…” He adds, “What did you see?” She asked, concern written on her face. “I can’t explain it to you… It was mental abuse. She was tortured… The pain was physically in my head… That is most probably why she screaming” He responded feeling a bit better not clutching his head anymore. “So do you think she’s alright? The possession spell is retracted?” “I do but I don’t think she will be the same after going through that…” He responds, “I don’t think when she wakes up she will ever remember it… to be honest…” Adawulf pipes in, “I mean my Grimoire gives me that indication… Its possible that she went through that and in the process of the retracting of the spell she was somehow mentally still in the illusion cast upon her, But when I read through the rest of the spell and the Side- effects were, the loss of memory during the time that the spell was taking place…” The siblings look at Adawulf nodding their heads understanding what he was saying, “So what next?” Pagan asks her voice calm but she sighs, as though the first day to the month of being at this school was Chaotic, she was hoping that it wouldn’t continue. All the siblings felt that way. “I think that we should all rest… Its been a long day, and I think that now it is over, we shouldn’t bring it back up to Valkyrie, Just in case we trigger something and all hell breaks loose again…” Rowan says looking between all of them. “I think lets just carry on as normal and forget everything… Maybe try and get through this month normally…” He adds, “What exactly is normal about this Row?” Demetria said plopping herself on her bed. “I don’t think anything is normal at this point… Besides normal is just an illusion…” She adds, “Thanks Morticia Addams… I think Rowan is just saying, to save the peace we should just shut our traps around Valkyrie. Act as though nothing happened… If in fact she really doesn’t remember…” Stone Responds, “Okay well that’s fine and all, but what are we going to do about Crowley, if we suspect that he is in on this then what do we do? I mean why was she targeted in the first place?” Demetria asks, “Crowley… What do we do about Crowley…” Stone taps his chin squinting his eyes and making as though he is deep in thought. “We should kill him…” He bursts, “My God I didn’t know murder was on the cards… Should have thought about it long time ago….” Pagan said sarcastically, “I don’t think anyone needs to kill anyone… We have to think practical about this… Demi… How about some hypnotism?” Phoenix says looking in Demetria’s direction. “Oh Yay! I can finally use my gift!” She smiles sitting up on her elbows, “No fair, when Can I use mine?” Pagan Huffs, “Rowans been showing off his mighty strength, You’ve been seeing the dead, or whatever it is you do, and Stones been reading our thoughts ever since he left the hospital! I also want to use my Gift!” She adds huffing. “Have patience Page… you will get your chance…” Rowan responds, “Plus you have been absolutely great help so far…” Phoenix adds smiling at her. “Okay well lets hypnotize the b***h!” Demetria shouts in glee jumping up from her bed. She hovers over Valkyrie’s Sleeping body and looks over to Adawulf, “What do I do?” She asks, “Speak what you need to into her…” He Responds. “Wait? Why am I hypnotizing her?” She asks leaning over, “Oh my God Demi! Tell her that she mustn’t get to close to Crowley, he is bad…” Stone says giggling a bit, She nods and focuses on Valkyrie again.
“Hey Valk… I need you to listen to me… I don’t want you hanging around Crowley anymore… He is Dangerous… He is bad… I need you to listen to me…” She says her voice persuading and calm. She straightens up again? “Is that it?” She asks happy again, “So… your voice was so hypnotizing that I don’t think I will be hanging out with Crowley again either…” Stone says, “You never did?” Phoenix laughs. “That’s besides the point! Demi can persuade a cat to fall in love with a dog, I’m sure.” Stone says smiling, “Well look now that that’s over lets sleep please…” Rowan sighs out sounding exhausted.
One by one the siblings make their way to the dorm Bath room showering and getting ready for bed, Valkyrie stays fast asleep, and Calypso and Adawulf decided to retreat to their own rooms somewhere on the school grounds, Leaving all the Siblings together alone in their dorm room letting the night consume them, putting them in a peaceful deep sleep after a disorderly first day at Pentagram Graceland. They rested their heads hoping that the next day would be better, they closed their eyes, letting their eyelids be the transport to a peaceful rest.
The next day they rested, Valkyrie woke up her normal self with less attitude. Her mind was wiped clean of the previous days mind torture. She didn’t have the need to see Crowley, or be with him. The siblings assumed the Hypnotism worked.
They were left alone for the day, just the six of them, being with each other and enjoying each other’s company. Something they hadn’t done in a long time… And when the night fell upon them again, they slept soundly, having a peaceful day without Chaos.
Monday came around way too quick as the six of them woke, ate together then stood in front of their dorm rooms looking at their class schedule.
“My classes are is Potion works, then Levitation class, energy magics, then Empaths for today…” Pagan starts.
“Ha! We share the first class!” Valkyrie blurts with Glee, “Mine is Potion works, Casting class, Healing? And Empaths…” Valkyrie says, hooking her arm through Pagans because they will obviously be in the same first class together.
“I’ve got Coaxing class, Entrance class, then I’m free for two hours… then its, Sensing Class?” Demetria says now looking at Rowan,
“Castigation, Brain sweeping and shunning class and then I guess I’m seeing you in the sensing class..” Rowan says, “What have you got Stone?” he adds
“ telekinesis and telepathy, Energy Magic, Garden Magic, and then I’m free from then until I get to Empaths, with the girls… Nix… your up next…” Stone says folding his schedule and placing it in his back pocket.
“Right, well I’ve got a weird schedule, Firstly I have more classes in the day than the rest of you… but here goes…” She pauses looking at her schedule, “My first class is, Meditation, Scrying, Mediumship and Clairvoyance class, they are combined so that’s like a three hour class, then I have a class of Necromancy, I will be seeing you guys in Empaths class, but then I have a class after called ‘Priestess/Priesthood’ class? After that is s*x Magic, and that is a two hour class and that starts at like 19:00 tonight…” She sighs out “Oh and then do you guys have ‘Coven time’ starting at 22:00?” She adds asking her siblings, they nod looking at their schedules, Although Stone didn’t he went with the flow. “Do you think it’s a class?” She asks again, “I don’t know Maybe it is… Lets try and get through the day and see where it ends?” Rowan Responds, “ What the hell is Priestess hood?” Stone asks, Looking at Phoenix’s schedule, She shrugs in response, “Maybe you will be doing an exorcism after all!” He chuckles, then widens his eyes realizing Valkyrie was there. They all scorn Stone, besides Valkyrie, “Am I missing Something?” She asks, “No sweety it was a joke that I told her the other day… and you know how she loves that tv series she watches, they do exorcisms and stuff…” He lies through his teeth… ‘Nice Save, Stone watch what you say next time…’ Rowan says in his head, and Stone smiles. “Lets get going to our classes then, Love you lots Guys, see you later and be safe…” Stone says spinning on his heels
Pagan
Valkyrie walked arm in arm with her sister to their first class, Potion works. As they enter the class a mix of smells hit them mostly consisting of Herbs and flowers. “Pagan and Valkyrie Grove…” Pagan says to the class teacher, She became a little shy looking at him, His pastel blue eyes shimmered with the hanging ceiling lights in the classroom. He had a strong Jaw bone and a great smile. He was tall and slender, the suit he wore, fit his body like a second skin. Pagan tucked her long fiery locks behind her ear as she tried to hide a timid smile. “Miss Grove…” He nodded towards Valkyrie, then he looked towards Pagan again, Smiled and nodded, “Miss Grove….” He looked no older than Thirty and had this rustic copper hair that sleeked to the side but was messy in a way. “You two are up in front, please can you take a seat behind a cauldron…” He said gesturing them towards the front. Valkyrie and Pagan were the first in the class. Each sitting in the front row, in front of a cauldron. Pagan stole a few glances at the teacher as the class started filling up. “Stop eye f*****g him…” Valkyrie said in a whisper giggling at her sisters sudden shocked face. “ Valkyrie so curt! Besides I’m not Eye f*****g him… I’m admiring his Stature.” “Same thing Page…” Valkyrie rolled her eyes. The class filled evenly and it was time for the devilishly handsome man to introduce himself to them. “Good Morning Class, All of you may know me, but we have two knew students here today, I want you to respect them and Treat them as if they had been with us the whole semester.” He says with a smile, “You can all introduce yourselves after class, but for now I’m going to introduce them…” He said looking at Pagan with a smile, “Pagan and Valkyrie Grove will be in this class for a month… have patience with them, they received their gifts back only recently but I can advise their gifts are strong…” He says while walking behind his desks and picking up two huge thick books. Then he walked to their desks putting it on a small table that stood next to their Cauldron. “My Name is Mr. Conan… I will be your Potion brewing teacher…” He says standing in front of them. He walks backwards standing in view of his whole class, “Now I would like you all to take out you Grimoires and go to the third last page of the book. We will be going through the ‘love’ section of the book for the next three days then moving on to Spell retractions, that will take place on Wednesday and Thursday… An individual practical test will be done on Friday… That will take place in the office, with me and the student. Please note that if you have any free hours on your schedule I do expect you to go through your Grimoire and learn the spells…” He said, causing the class to chat to each other once he was done. “He is so doing this love portion bit for you…” Valkyrie whispers then smirks, “Now your being ridiculous Valk… Come on… Firstly we have been in this class no less than two minutes and you are already telling me that the teacher has the hots for me… I mean his the f*****g teacher for s**t sake…” She whisper yells back, “I can see it now… Think of the story of Heloise and Abelard… Oh so sweet or that girl from Pretty little liars and her teacher boyfriend…” She said putting her hand on her chest and dreaming of the sweet romance, “Okay well, firstly we are not in a Romance Novel… secondly I honestly think that guy got fired in pretty little liars for sleeping with his student. It was such a traumatic relationship I find it hard to even put myself in her shoes, Plus, like I said, I’m not on a blind date this is a class… So stop being an asshole and shut up about it!” Pagan whisper yelled back, Valkyrie sighed, “I wonder what the eye candy’s name is… Or would you rather scream out Mr. Conan in bed…” She giggled out, Pagan shook her head trying to suppress the giggle she had bubbling up in her throat. “Shut up…” She whispered again now pinching her sister on the arm.
“Be Quiet… enough with the chatting! I’m still in the room. I will accommodate the students that do not have all of the ingredients for the potions, Please let me know well in advance what you would like to experiment with…. Now open your Grimoires, and let’s get started…”
They concocted a love potion in their Cauldron's in a short time. Pagan lifted her hand to ask a question, “Yes Pagan…” He called out, “Why would a love Potion be needed if everyone has a Twin flame?” She asked as she added her last ingredient. “That’s a good question. Well lets go back to Ancient Greece, Egypt and The Roman Empire, where the oils that they used were seen as Love potions… it was essential in seduction. The Greeks believed that if you crushed up orchid, which they regarded as a powerful aphrodisiac, into a powder and added it to wine. They believed that this Wine potion could inspire passionate love in whoever consumed it. Mind you the twin flame originated from them too. They didn’t stop putting the Ground up orchid in the wine just because they had a twin flame, Because twin flames were so hard to find. You would be lucky if he stood in front of you at this moment… Alas if your twin flame was found in this life time it was good luck for you but if you truly loved a person and didn’t have your twin flame would you have been left unhappy or should I say unlucky in love for your life only waiting for him?... Or her…?” He said smiling at her. She smiled back looking into her cauldron. She chanted the words she read in her Grimoire and watched her sister finish her love potion. “He just said that he was your twin flame standing in front of you…” She whispered, “Valk don’t read too much into it…” “I wonder how old he is…” Valkyrie continued, “Come on just chant your damn chant and finish up… The class is almost over!” Pagan whisper yelled. “How will we know if the potion worked?” Valkyrie shouted out abruptly. Pagan eyed her sister sternly at the rudeness. “Good Question, I have a small cactus for each of you, You will pour two drops of the potion onto the Cactus, if the potion works well it will bloom with a small red flower, if not the cactus will instantly die…” He says, “But time is almost up, whoever is done with their potions please come up and grab a cactus…” He adds, Pagan walks up and takes two cacti, one for her, one for Valkyrie, she stands among most of the other students in the class then retrieves them and goes back to her place handing a cactus to her sister. She drops two droplets on the cactus and the cactus instantly blooms individual red little flowers on it. Mr. Conan claps smiling at all the people who managed to bloom their little cacti. Valkyries blooms too, “I’m Impressed! You all that paid attention to you Grimoire… really focused… That’s what I want to see in this class!” He smiled. “Now pack up guys and start moving to your next class…” He said waving them all out. “Oh Pagan can I please see you for a moment?” She looked up from packing her Grimoire away and nodded. Valkyrie Walked passed Pagan winking and wiggling her eye brows, with a smirk.
Once everyone was gone he took a seat behind his desk. “come closer…” he said calling her with his hand, “I’m Impressed with your cactus…” He smiled, “Thank you…” She responded shyly, “I mean for first timers you and Valkyrie seemed pretty natural…” “thank you I will rely the message…” She responded, “Oh and My name is Mannix… and I’m Thirty years old…” Pagans mouth dropped open. “I’m so sorry about Valkyrie… She’s very Inquisitive and very straight forward…” He shook his head smirking, “I must apologize, I’ve got very good hearing and when she mentioned Heloise and Abelard, I couldn’t resist anymore I had to listen… Actually I do Lie, I was listening from the very beginning…” He said, causing a heavy blush to creep up Pagan’s neck and onto her face. “Don’t be embarrassed, But yes, I would definitely Get fired if we were having a relationship like that teacher and student in Pretty Little liars…” He smirks, “Oh My God… Thank you sir… I will see you tomorrow in class…” She suddenly spun hot on her heels hiding her embarrassment and ran out the class like a hell hound was biting her ass.
Valkyrie waited outside for her, to walk her to her next class, “Why are you so red?” She spat out in a giggle, “Did the Teachers pet get all hot and bothered in there?” She adds, “He heard everything Valk. Good Grief that was so embarrassing. I can’t even explain you…” “Heard everything how?” “I suppose apart from Potion brewing being one of his gifts, he too has like super sonic hearing…” Valkyrie gasps covering her mouth and suppressing a giggle, “You are a damn fool!” Pagan said sighing out loud then giggling. “Well at least you can have a good dream tonight, Let’s hope it’s a wet one… thinking about sexing with the Naughty Mr. Conan…” “Yeah alone with the sixty other students he teaches…” Pagan rolls her eyes. “Oh my God let’s move away from his class… I’m sure he just heard you talk about me having a wet dream about him…” She grabbed her sisters arm running in a direction away from his class.
