Witches: The Battle Against Darkness

W. 32

Via/Miltani

Via asked Glenn to refill her glass. Hessae barged into Opees and sat down beside her. "Heyyy" Via slurred giving Hessae a goofy smile. "Are you drunk?" Hessae forgot her initial anger and looked at her friend with worry. Via focused on her drink like Hessae wasn't there. Glenn was wiping a glass when Hessae gave him a questioning look.

He sighed, "that is J&W apple and peach cocktail", he said, "highly nonalcoholic. You can't hide from the consequences, Via". He dropped the glass and walked away to give them privacy. "Thanks a lot Glenn", Via's tone was filled with sarcasm as she dropped the act, "I wish I didn't tell him about this being the only thing I miss in Madrid".

Hessae was glad that her friend wasn't intoxicated. She had seen it once and that was enough for a lifetime. "How did you find out?" Via asked not daring to make eye contact. "Scalar called", Hessae answered, "she might be a stuck up bitch most of the times but she sounded worried. I'm guessing her mother told her".

"Oh" Via didn't know what to say.

"Why Via? Why did you agree?"

"First of all, she's my Iaota. She practically raised me. I can't go against her decision and I'd rather it be me than any other person. She's my mother afterall".

"Stop it!" Hessae whisper yelled, "you can't let her do that to you! And for goodness sake, can you not blame yourself for Zirim's crimes?"

"That's easy for you to say. You don't have a psychotic mother planning who knows what and trying to kill your twin sister that you have to hide from the world".

"Okay, maybe I don't have all that but you still deserve to be happy. Do you realize what a marriage is? You will be tethered to one person for the rest of your life. What about love?"

"Love isn't for me and it never will be. You promised to support my choices. I need to tell Jyla about everything today and I need to know I have someone to watch my back". Hessae hugged Via and said, "I'll always support you. I'll also give that Witch Hunter a spanking if he tries to mess up". Via chuckled softly, "I trust you to do just that", she said, "I finally found a spell and Jyla needs her sister. I have this weird feeling that our mother still torments her".

She downed the remaining drink and walked out. Glenn brought a can of beer for Hessae. "She's not going to be okay, is she?" She asked. "I'm afraid not", Glenn shook his head, "but with your help, I'm hoping she will". "I just want her to think of her self for once", Hessae took a sip, "she has gone through so much already". Glenn patted Hessae's shoulder and gave her a smile before walking inside again.

Lorinth just finished giving Miltani the speech of a lifetime. She grabbed a handful of her hair. She searched her desk for an extra bottle of martini. Today was a day she hated for many reasons. She knew her decision was wrong but she and Mateo weren't in the right mind frames when they spoke.

She pulled out a frame from one of the drawers. The little girl in the picture smiled back. She missed her so much. She never got to introduce her to Via and that was Mateo and Zirim's fault. A tear slid down her face. She quickly wiped it away with her red painted nails. She put the frame back and buried her face in her hands.

Posse barged into her office some minutes after. "I'm sorry, High Witch but a certain warlock is being uncooperative". She said with a frown. It turns out, gossip spreads like wildfire in Solegad. Case was fully aware of the planned marriage and he knew Miltani was the cause. He was boiling. He knew she made Via cut him off but this was over the top.

"Let him in" Miltani ordered. She snapped her fingers and her office smelt and looked decent again. "What the hell is..." She stopped his outburst. "You really have some nerve, Mr Zorgan", she was in no mood to deal with a rude child, "do you think The Agency is a place for such childish tantrums?" Her voice was stern and cold.

Case laughed like a maniac, "childish tantrums?" He repeated, "it's one thing to put thoughts in Via's head and tell her to break up with me but it's insane to get her married to those bastards called Witch Hunters!"

"I suggest you correct that tone. You barged into my office and I pardoned you. The least you can do is watch how you speak to me".

"I'd say whatever I want, however I want. I love Via and I will not allow you or anyone else take her from me".

"A mere bark from a spoiled dog!" Miltani smirked, "if you are bitter that Via never reciprocated the feelings you had for her, this is not the place to sulk".

"You might have taken my apartment but I still live here and I will make Via mine".

"That changes after today. I have many evidence against you regarding breaking the law and your past records only make this easier. As from today, Solegad is not opened to you". Case just stood there stunned. "Terah will organize your transfer immediately you leave this building. You will be joining your aunt in Noter. And for any wrong move you make, the Witch Hunters will decide your fate".

Case lashed out at her. His green sparks held the High Witch's neck. Her throat was turning blue. She used the little air she had to send a foot stool flying into his head. She coughed frantically while gasping for air. Case held his head and stood up. Miltani didn't give him another opening. The blue sparks conjured up silver chains.

Case screamed out and his veins almost bulged out of his head. He fell to ground with heavy grunts. Posse ran inside for fear that Miltani was hurt. Once Miltani was sure that Case had passed out, she waved her hands to change the chains to normal ones. "Get him out!" She barked still holding her neck.

Posse saw the red line around the High Witch's neck and immediately hated the warlock. Blue sparks from her hands floated Case out of the office. She rushed back to collect instructions from Miltani. Miltani just wrote a letter and said, "to Terah". Posse bowed and scrambled out. She was going to get one of the healers to inspect the High Witch first before delivering the rogue warlock.

Quite a turn out of events for the witches.
