Queen Anora gave her fifty days to complete the mission.
Emily's loyal servants ,Rihanna and Toby ,went to meet Emily in her coven, they came to prepare her for her journey to the mortal realm.
Rihanna brought out a magic comb shaped like a human heart. She brushed Emily's hair with it , her unkempt hair and tangled hair suddenly transformed into that of a newborn baby , while Toby rubbed a lotion on Emily's skin which made her rough skin , young , soft and smooth again .
The servants wore Emily a golden robe with silver lining and a pair of black heels . which made her look more like a queen ......

Finally , Emily woke up from her deep sleep , came out of her room and saw Lucy already dressed up as if going out , She asked her where she was headed , since she knew nothing about humans.

The following day , Emily felt bored at home, no one to keep her company, Lucy went to work some couple of hours ago , and her servants didn't come with her. she decided to go out for a stroll ,to learn more about the human world .
On her way , she noticed many people staring at her , some whispering in each other's ear talking about her.
Whoa , I've seen the reason why Queen Anora hates humans. she noticed some boys approaching her ,they are obviously bad guys .
Andrew the boss of the bad guys said to Emily , Hi pretty , I like you and I want you to come with me . His statement made Emily pissed off and irritated at the same time by the stench of alcohol coming from his mouth . She was about to leave, but he drew her back harshly, and then slapped her.
This got Emily angry , she brought out her magic wand and was about to turn them into insects , without them noticing, but felt someone else was watching her behind.
Josh who had been observing the situation ,had no choice but came down from his car to the scene , he saw that the situation was already getting out of hand and intervened . He gave the street boys some money so as to appease their anger , Then they departed.
She hid her wand away in the air and thanked Josh for his help.
Have we met before,he said , your face looks familiar , oh ! , you are the girl from the other day . It's nice meeting you again.
Get into the car let me take you to your destination .

What a handsome man, his face looks so cute and his hair is shiny and silk—like. Emily quickly snapped out of her thoughts , "you are a witch and he is a human" , what are you thinking ( " she slaps her cheek repeatedly") . Lucy smiles at her , because she saw a guy drop her off in the front of the building , she didn't dare interrupt Emily's happy moment.

Chapter 8
SUPERNATURAL WORLD.
Every thing in this world felt controlled by evil forces, the colour of the sky kept shifting hue between dark and red . Different creatures roamed about , working on the task Anora assigned to each of them. The ancient Forest is surrounded by shadow mountain occupied by sorcerer s and witches of different shapes , this added to its creepiness.
The entrance of Queen Anora's gigantic Castle is surrounded by a forest of dark , gnarled trees that appears to be alive and twisted by dark magic .
A mist shrouded moat surrounds the castle , hiding unknown danger and dark secrets.
The door of the castle is old and creaky, adorned with talismans.
The inside of the castle is filled with dimly lit candles ,walls are ornamented with strange artifacts, and the air is filled with burning incense scents .
Anora sat on her throne carved out of dark woods . she fumes with anger as she watches Emily through her crystal ball .
" Fool" , Anora spat , I sent her on a simple mission , but she goes about developing feelings for a mortal ,such incompetent wretch. if not for Kaliyah, why will I send that stupid witch on this important mission.
Her eyes beams with burning fury , she hit her staff on the floor and stomped out of her castle headed to the dark priestess coven .
( dark priestess coven)
In an ancient floating mansion, guarded by seven demi–creatures.
A grand dimly lit chamber for rituals, surrounded by a labyrinth of dark corridors .
Kaliyah ,the dark priestess was busy stirring up a love potion in the moonlit laboratory , when a knock on her door distracted her , she knew it was Anora because all the candle lights in the laboratory blew out .One of the demi-creatures outside opened the door for the queen .
Anora came in , still fuming , "Kaliyah I told you that girl was useless from the start , she can't help me in fulfilling my plans" , maybe I should get rid of her just like I did to her mother , before things gets complicated.
The dark priestess calmed Anora down and reminded her of the reason why she chose Emily for the mission.
we both know that she's a good witch , all we need to do is make her reveal that evil side of hers , so that you can reclaim what is yours , then destroy her after you get the forbidden power her mother passed on to her when she died .
Queen Anora let out an evil laugh , ( she said) after I get the whole of the universe under my palms , I will make sure to destroy Emily that sly witch and trap her in the lake of no return , to perish , she said and teleported back to her castle.
