Purina's Soul

White witch

carrying her from the bed, he brought her out of the bedroom and found almost all the house workers lined up outside the bedroom with their eyes wide open. some with surprise, some with belief while the rest were weeping their eyes out.

"she be fine" he said and walked past them, nudging Pete with his head so they can both leave.

"make something nutritious before we get back" Pete said to the butler who immediately bowed hiding the tears in his eyes. tears of joy to be precise.

the two men walked downstairs, one with a woman in his arms and the other dangling his car key as the both approached the car.

opening the back door, Jake laid Rina down and sat in next to her head while keeping her head on his lap. Pete had just been watching their interactions from the mirror felt embarrassed that he has never had a proper relationship since he started relationships. he kept staring at the until Jake looked up to the mirror and raised an eyebrow did he come back to his senses. "I'll drive right away" turning on the car, Pete sped off straight for the church.

"Rina baby, can you please listen to me and drop that bag?.. something bad is about to happen and nobody can stop it except you!" her grandpa said but she kept on with it.

"I won't drop it cos I don't want to die grandpa, I really don't want to die!" she said with tears dripping down her face

"you won't die!" her grandfather snapped

at her

"what?" she asked bewildered

"I said you won't die because you're a witch, a white witch. I am too" he said slowly

Rina couldn't comprehend what she just heard and bursted out laughing "white witch?? really?? is this another way of telling me to keep you company in this place while my husband is about to get a punishment worse than death??" she asked annoyed this time

"you think this is the after life of every living person?? everybody here is a white witch that why your grandma is not here" he seethed. although he loved his granddaughter when she was stubborn and stuck to her point when he was alive, her stubbornness here is going to cost them a whole lot than they bargained for.

"just send me back please" she said meekly and her grandfather sighed

"it's not as easy as you think child" he said and walked back a bit.

"you need to accept your human spirit and soul is gone, drop that bag and then you can move forward. then we'll make you ready to occupy your human body, not as a human anymore but as a white witch with the ability to perform magic" he said softly

"this bag is the only thing that makes sense grandpa, even you are not making sense to me. I'm scared" she whispered. she's scared, more than she ever has been in her entire existence. she wants to go back but like before, she can't go back anymore with the backpack. her grandfather is giving her another solution but she's not willing to take any risks. I mean what if the bag eventually works??

they just drove into the church premises and parked the car close to the entrance, Jake lifted Rina up and brought her into the cathedral. Henry was there to welcome then but as usual he was disguised as the priest of the church giving out a very peaceful vibe.

"Henry who was standing inside the church suddenly smiled, he could feel the strong power coming from that lady's body. too bad they have no idea what she is, she probably had no idea what she is that's why she's in this state. this isn't death at all she's just transitioning but he needs her more than any other person do. they needed their queen back!

"welcome again Jake" Henry said with a wide grin

"thank you but where do I put her?" he asked looking around

"there's no need for anymore don't worry we'll take it from here"he said and signalled two younger priests to carry her in.

"we need to be close to her sir" Pete said for the first time since they both came in and Jake nodded vigorously but Henry just smiled and said "everything will be okay before disappearing behind the door.

patting Jake's shoulder, Pete said "everything will be fine don't worry" although his anxiety calmed down, he couldn't help but feel worried about Rina waking up to an unsure environment.

#inside_the_church

a lumpy and disgusting looking liquid is being boiled over a coal ignited fire. two people are stirring it will the rest kept looking straight at each other chanting incoherent words. the whole atmosphere felt dark and was dark, Rina laid close to the boiling liquid as Henry just walked around them all smiling and sometimes talking to himself

"brothers and sisters!"Henry shouted and every where quieted down

raising two of his fingers her said "womé" and they all turned to their original form.

this was a coven of black witches hiding under the pretense of being monks and priests in this church.

the ritual just began meanwhile, the two young men outside had no idea what was going on in there. they really hoped a miracle will happen.

Jake suspended every work related thing during rina's final week in the hospital while Pete suspended his sleeping for rina's final moment to wake up here in the church.

"the time has come!!"

shouts and cheers erupted from the crowd present, most of them took to the air with their brooms flying in circles and screaming but those shouts and screams didn't get out of the door. nobody else could hear it!.
