Marielle.

Two Ghosts And Agnes Is At It Again.

Marielle and Marc finally move into the house their family acquired for them. It's just a rental and a short commute to college. Alisa and Lydia now have the house they dreamed of, they do believe that this is the house the promise to spend the rest of their lives in. It's a couple of hours commute to college, but Alisa is thinking of changing college, Lydia is now working for her dad, he owns a tailors shop but they've now extended to making women's clothes. Lydia's mom can't sew anymore, but Lydia can, she was studying fashion and design at college, but she does have a natural gift for making clothes. Alisa finds a new college, she and Lydia are truly making it work. Lydia suggests that once Alisa finishes school that they should try for a family, Alisa doesn't want to become a mom that soon after college, she wants her career first. Lydia tells her that she will carry the baby, Alisa says we'll talk about once college is done. Marc and Marielle, haven't spoke about children yet, they're not ready and they won't until their careers have taken off. Marc has organised a surprise honeymoon for Marielle, he booked a house in Hawaii, they flew out the next morning. Marc has friends in Hawaii and coven members, the coven members go into the house, they sage it, they put white rose petals on the bed and light pink candles. Marielle sees it as a fertility ritual, but Marielle is on contraception and knows she won't get pregnant. They eat then head to bed, they consummate their marriage from that moment on. They're in Hawaii for a week, they come home rested, in love and look forward to their lives together. Although the house in Hawaii was gorgeous, they just couldn't wait to get home to their quaint little apartment.

They had been in this apartment a few weeks, when items of clothing, jewellery and little things go missing. Marielle believes the house is haunted, so she sages the house, she summons whatever's in the house. It shows itself, it's the former tenant, he died there of a stroke, his body not discovered for days after. Marielle asks him his name, he tells her his name was Bill, that if she helps him, he'll give back their belongings. Marielle asks how she can help? He explains that his wife died four years before he did, he can't find her. Marielle asks him, "are there any items that belong to your wife in the home?" He explains there's left over things in the attic, he was too sick to clear it out. Marielle goes to the attic, she finds a dress that belongs to his wife. Marielle tells Bill that she needs to do a seance to find out where she is. Marielle calls out to his wife Wilma, she replies, "tell that, dirty rotten, lying, cheating asshole, I'm not riding off into any glowing light with him. I'm hidden away, I'm with my family, he needs to go and find his own." Wilma cuts the connection and Marielle calls out to Bill and tells her what she said, he's crying and he says he's lonely, he can't find his family. Marielle guides him towards a light source, as he reaches it, he feels guilty and he tells her where her stuff is. Marielle tells him thank you and that she hopes he finds a loved one? He shouts back, "if I don't and go to the other place, I'll be back to haunt you two newly weds." Marielle tells Marc later on that evening, he can't believe she handled two disgruntled old ghosts on her own. Marc believes that's how powerful his wife is. The amalgamation of the covens will make their covens the most powerful in the country, possibly the world.

Marielle needed to go home and see Iris, she is bedridden these days. Marielle has learned so much in such a short period of time, she mixes a potion, she gives it to Iris and she sleeps for almost a week. Iris wakes up, she doesn't feel pain, she has so much energy, she goes to get up and Marielle gets her stick, Iris tells her she doesn't need it. Iris is standing, she isn't pale anymore, she is walking unaided, faster than with her stick, she's stood upright, no curve and she is shocked. Not one witch before was able to take away the pain the way Marielle has. Iris says she feels like she's 20, she can't believe her grand niece has cured her. Marielle explains something though, something other witches didn't take into consideration, Iris was cursed, so she added something to remove a curse. The one person they know would do this, would be Agnes. Agnes was always jealous, since she had no real magick, she used others to do her bidding. Agnes won't ever be able to curse anyone again, any magick she has is now bound. Marc calls Marielle asking if Iris is ok? She puts him on FaceTime and he sees Iris walking swiftly without her stick, he can't believe his eyes, she's been in that state for about 20 years. He asks, how on earth have you done this? She explains step by step, he is amazed, he's driving to Salem right away. On his way to Salem, he's called his family and Alisa's. Joan gets there, she can't believe her eyes, she like Marc asks her step by step how she done it. Joan can't believe it. Iris is dancing, she is the Iris from 20 years ago. After this the covens must come as one, including the coven that refuses to participate. They believe a new high priestess has risen, they've been waiting for a new high priest or priestess for over 20 years since Iris was the high priestess, Agnes was jealous and cursed Iris into being a disabled wreck. So Iris was passed over until a new one showed her or himself. Marielle took to the craft easily, she learned fast, she studied harder than any witch before her. Joan and all the elders say they need to bless Marielle tonight. Joan has premonitions, she knows something dark is on its way, the only person that can save every witch in Salem is Marielle. Marielle already knew of the threat. It's in the form of the witch finder general, his name back in the 1600's was Matthew Hopkins, he had a lineage, his views moved across to the new world after his disgrace. Matthew was that prominent in his killing of witches, or to be honest, innocent women of England, that he fleeced local councils, becoming rich from their monthly and yearly budgets. He died late 1600's of tuberculosis, he did father a child in those years, that child learning his fathers prominence and legacy. He vowed to continue his fathers work. The new witch finder has the same first name as his ancestor, but his last name is that of one of the puritans of Salem. The residents of Salem will recognise it straight away, Matthew Parris, even the non witches will know exactly who he is. Once he steps foot in Massachusetts, there'll be a trap for him, one he won't recognise. He thinks he is as clever as those that came before him, had he? They and people like him, would've known that the people they killed were innocent. The church, their crusaders, their stupid trials had one objective, it was to put women in their place. They didn't want women be on an equal footing as men.
