Only You

Dinner

The dinner table was buzzing with conversation as they ate. Misty and Cordelia found themselves sitting next to each other. Misty smiled as she ate. "Good?" asked Cordelia. "Very" Misty responded. "They don't serve solid food in hell". Cordelia smiled. She hated having to think about what Misty went through when she died, especially after experiencing her own hell during the Seven Wonders test. She zoned out for a brief moment, suddenly feeling as though she was back there. She had never told anyone what her personal hell was, she hated to think about it herself, especially seeing how she had to experience it in real life that very same day. "Cordelia?", Misty's question snapped her back to the present. "I'm sorry, I was distracted" she said with a weak smile, she felt bad for not hearing Misty's question, or at least being to immersed in her own thoughts to notice it. She discarded the thought so to not miss Misty's question for a second time. "What was it you were saying?" Cordelia asked focusing her attention back on Misty. "Oh I was only wondering were I could sleep tonight. I overheard that there are no rooms left, so I'm happy to sleep on the couch" Misty said to Cordelia. Cordelia looked at her with bewilderment "Misty, there is no way I am letting you sleep on the couch, there's a spare bed in my room, you can take that." she said with a certain sternness, she didn't want Misty to have to spend her first night back sleeping on some uncomfortable couch. "Are you sure?" Misty asked, "Of course I'm sure Misty, it's your fist night back, you didn't really think i I was going to make you sleep on some lumpy couch did you?" she said tucking the witches wavy hair behind her ear, "Now eat up, you'll need your strength." Cordelia said with a grin.  Misty returned the smile, she was so glad to be back, she was so glad to see Cordelia again. As dinner went on Cordelia noticed Mallory showing the other girls a spell she had learnt. She watched her as she effortlessly turned a small seed into a violet coloured rose. Misty upon seeing Cordelia so focused on something, turned her gaze to Mallory as well, watching the violet rose's petals break off and float up into the air. Soon the whole table fell silent as they watched Mallory perform the charm whilst barely lifting her finger. the table erupted in applause as she finished the spell, causing Mallory to blush with pride. "Wow, she's a natural" said Misty to Cordelia. "I know" Cordelia replied, her eyes still fixed on Mallory.

The dining room had turned back to the sound of soft chatters as everyone was beginning to leave for bed. "So you really have no idea what brought you back?" Zoe asked Misty, still in disbelief about the witches sudden arrival. "I really can't remember anything." Misty insisted. "One moment i was down in hell and then suddenly I'm standing outside the coven doors. It was a miracle. An unexplainable miracle and I'm not complaining." she said laughing.  "Well we're just glad you're back girl, no matter how it happened." Queenie said with a smile. Cordelia watched as the witches talked, trying to remember the last time things were like this. Happy. The witches slowly filed out of the room to go get ready for bed. "We should probably get some sleep too" Zoe said. "That sounds like a good idea, we've got a lot more catching up to do tomorrow" Cordelia replied, her eyes on Misty though. They got up to leave when suddenly Cordelia collapsed, falling into Misty's arms. "Cordelia! Are you alright!" Misty exclaimed as she caught her. Queenie and Zoe ran to help as the rest of the girls rushed back in and crowded around. "Yes, yes I'm fine. I probably just stood up to fast" she said looking up at Misty. Suddenly feeling relieved now that she was in Misty's arms. "Cordelia your nose." Misty said with a worried look. Cordelia reached up to feel a trickle of blood coming from her right nostril. "It's alright, I'm fine" she said, turning to see the rest of the coven watching her with concerned looks on their faces. "You guys go up to bed" said Zoe. "There's no need to worry" she said as she guided the girls out of the room. "You help Delia up to bed and I'll bring in some tea" Misty said before helping Cordelia to get up. Cordelia being sick worried her, but she knew that if Cordelia knew that  she would be even more stressed out, so Misty set the thought aside and went to brew some tea. It was the only thing she could think to do. She knew something was wrong, she could tell, even though Cordelia appeared strong, Misty could see through it and hated to see her unwell. Cordelia had always looked after Misty from the day they met so it was unbearable seeing her like this.
