The Witches' War

Ambushed II

*The Covenstead*

"We just got information that the school was attacked" Vera, one of the grand witches informed.

"How did that happen?. How were they able to break through the hedge" Vivian questioned

A spell was cast around the hedge that surrounded the witches school making it invisible to outsiders. The pearl was the only ticket to gain entrance into the school.

"They are really powerful witches so they were able to scale through"

"Any fatalities?"

"Some witches were wounded but none dead; some inhaled the black gas and they are currently getting treatment"

"I need the security around the hedge and the cave to be tightened starting now" Vivian stood up and bolted out of her office heading to the school alongside few witches in the council.

The whole school was in shock after the whole incident. They couldn't believe that Tamara would be able to pull off such gravity of power that even the top witches around couldn't. For whatever reasons that happened, they were grateful to her for such heroic act.

She felt the soft texture of the bed and slowly opened her eye lids. She scanned the environment and her eyes landed on a green witch beaming with smiles at her.

"Mrs James" she said trying to sit up on the bed

Mrs James quickly tucked her back to the bed "Don't stress yourself dear you need rest"

"What happened?"

"The great wind magic you pulled off really drained your strength so you fainted" She sat by the bed and took her hands "Do you need anything?"

Tamara tried shaking her head in response but the headache made her give it a second thought

"Not yet" she replied

The intent gaze and the presence of the woman made her feel really uncomfortable. She tried releasing her hands from her grip but it was a firm clasp. Fortunately the woman seemed to notice and she quickly let go

"Incase you need anything I'll be outside" She smiled and exited the room.

"Ten grand witches present, numerous top students and it was only a baby witch that was able to fight them off" Vivian asked bewildered.

Hearing the school's principal narrate the incident to her was bemuddling. Not that she wasn't greatful but such act seemed impossible for someone like Tamara.

"Can I see my daughter now" Mrs Walt asked eager to see things for herself

"Sure" Mr Darwin led the way

Mrs Walt ran to embrace her daughter immediately they got to the room where she was kept. She felt so proud of her daughter, at least they now know that she possessed great powers. Tamara felt warm in her mother's embrace. Though they were just four days apart they embraced themselves like they've been parted for a decade.

Mr Walt stood there alongside other witches watching the reunion of mother and child. He walked up to them and patted his wife's back; signalling that it was his turn to receive a welcome hug.

Their gratitude to Tamara's heroic actions was as surplus as their questions. What she did couldn't even be done by some trained witches in the coven. An untrained witch performing such magic was really intimidating especially to the grand witches.
