Chapter1
“High priestess!! high priestess!!” Lyla called out screaming at the top of her voice, running fearfully towards the high priestess’ chambers
She got to the chamber, opened the door abruptly, panting like she’s about to die
“it’s….it’s…it’s happening aga..again” She stuttered
“What’s happening again?” The high priestess, Zara asked confused
“It’s her, it’s the girl! It’s the girllll!” She yelled
“What gir…..ahhhhhhhh”
A tornado whirled towards the chamber, destroying everything in its path, causing the turmoil that sent Lyla and Zara flying across the room, hitting their back against the wall before she could finish her statement
“Ouuch” She winced
“Don’t tell me it’s who I think it is Lyla” Zara yelled
“Lookkk” Lyla pointed out the window “She’s inside the tornado”
“Argggg!! That wench” Zara frowned “She’s so getting it from me this time, this is the very end of her worthless existence
“Akiraaaaaaaaaa” Zara yelled with both hands covering her ears
But Akira seemed to be lost, she was there but she wasn’t, she emitted so much power that she began trembling in the tornado. Her eyes turned white, legs above the ground, head flipped backwards and hands wide open
The witches held on to trees and anything they could find standing firmly in the ground
“I don’t want to dieeee”
“She is evil, she always does this”
“Maybe she wants us dead so she can be high priestess”
“Does that even make sense”
“Accept my soul oh ancestors” They feared for their lives
“Akiraaaaaaaaa” the high priestess yelled again “you wench”
‘Wake up Akira’ a voice in her head jolted her back to reality
Akira gasped, her eyes returned to normal as she fell back flat on the floor
“What happened” she asked bewildered, panting and gasping for air as she turned on her side. She looked up and saw the other witches on the floor catching their breath
With her right hand, she helped herself up but before she could stand on her feet completely, a hand landed on her face sending her back to the ground
“Is it until you kill us all?” The high priestess snared
“No high priestess” Akira pleaded with her hand on her face and both knees on the ground “ I didn’t know what happened I swear. We were practicing a spell and all of a sudden I, I”
“You what?”
“I think I lost control, forgive me high priestess, this won’t happen again I promise, give me another chance please” she cried
“Nonsense” Zara snared facing the other witches surrounding them, glaring daggers at Akira
“This.. has been going on for quite sometime, we have given you enough time to master your craft and take charge of your powers, but it’s the other way round all the time. This nonsense must stop, or should we allow ourselves to be consumed unexpectedly before taking actions?”
“Noooooo” The witches chorused in anger
“But nothing was destroyed this time, look” Akira stood up in defense, turned around but all she could see was the aftermath of her carelessness, DESTRUCTION
The high priestess chamber was almost gone, the floor was littered with broken plates and woods, the roof was tilted to the side.the dresses of some of the witches torn and their hair in standing ovation
Seeing this, Akira fell back on her knees and cried profusely with her hands covering her face
“Let’s just burn her”
“She should be banished “
“Yes, Kill herrrrrrr”
“Strip her naked and feed her to the werewolves” The witches cried out with rage
“Ah ah” Zara blurted out like she just received a revelation “naked it is, how come I never thought of that.Behold” she raised her hands upwards In final judgement for Akira “this is my verdict, she would be stripped off her powers and clothes and thrown in the woods where the werewolves shall make a feast of her, she will be left with nothing”
“Noooooo….please forgive me” Akira feared and pleaded for her life
“Strip her and tie her to a tree” Zara commanded
“Let me gooo, let me goooo” Akira struggled with the witches as they dragged her towards a tree but she was overpowered.At that point, she wished she could lose control again and kill them all but it was too late, she was already weak and vulnerable
The witches drew a circle with a white chalk around the tree and lit red candles round the circle
Zara approached her with a bowl of water and a knife, slit Akira’s wrist and collected drops of her blood
“Ahhhhhhhhh” Akira screamed in pain
“The mother of the witches, spirit of Louisiana” Zara lifted the bowl high saying some incantations very strange to the other witches
“I have never heard that before”
“I think it’s from the spell book we are forbidden to use, that spell is highly dangerous, I hope she survives this” lyla pitied
Suddenly, it went from day to night in an instant.Akira let out a screech like a siren, the witches covered their ears to avoid going deaf
She dropped her head down in defeat, drained of power and life
“This has never happened before” Zara shivered “quick, check if she’s still alive”
“I think she’s dead” Ashley, one of the witches said after examining Akira’s body
“Take her and throw her in the woods this instant”
The witches untied Akira’s lifeless body, carried her and teleported right into the woods accompanied by Zara.
“Drop her quick, we must leave before the werewolves finds out”
They dropped her on the floor and teleported right back leaving behind Zara
“Hmm..you remind me of your mother, my sis..” she didn’t want to say the word. She spat on Akira’s lifeless body and hissed.
Just as she was about to teleport, she heard a rustling in the woods followed by growl
She looked towards the direction of the sound and saw two eyes, red and furious, watching her intently like it’s about to snap life out of her
‘Has it been there the whole time’ she panted and feared for her life. The eyes started getting closer, she could see eyes but she couldn’t see anyone.
The eyes she thought were just two, became four in an instant followed by an angry howl.she almost forgot i
t’s about time to teleport
She teleported right back leaving Akira’s lifeless body with the rage of hungry wolves
