MYSTIC WORLD

Path Cross

A wind blew the door open and three women in black cloak entered and began to speak in an unknown tongue. The one leading was holding a torch and the two followed. They stood at the entrance, and the one holding the torch glared at the two on both side, then nodded in — let go gesture. They walked forward and searching the place with the light.

Micheal held tight to my right hand, he's pulse was raising, fear was crippling all over him, he began to blink rabidly. The torch almost hit Michael's face as the person holding it waved it in search of the empty house, because they could not see us.

I had cloaked our presence with magic, that the intruder were unable to see us. Micheal turned his face to me and then back to the intruder, wondering what was going on, and how come they didn't see us.

I watched as his eyebrows suddenly widened in surprise when one of the intruders uncovered her face and he saw who it was. —Cara!!!

"Are you sure the signer came from here?" Fraya said as she uncovered her face too.

Fraya. Fraya Woodwork? Micheal gasp.

I immediately placed a finger on my lips, indicating to Michael to remain calm, Because I could see that he could not hold his expression.

What's is going on? This are people I grew up with and trusted.

"Yes. My familiar pointed to this place." Cara replied looking around suspicious.

"But there's no one here." Mercy replied, glancing at both of them.

"Shouldn't Michael be here?" Fraya asked, looking at Cara.

"Leader sent him to look for the girl." Cara looked towards the bed, but couldn't see anything. But she could feel something was not right there. Taking few steps forward but was stopped by Fraya question.

"But what if when we enter and he was here? Things will get out of control."

"He won't be, my familiar search before we started coming." she replied, without turning back. Still focus her gaze at the bed.

"Bring it out and let it search again. Because clearly, there's no one here." Mercy suggested.

Cara took a last look at the bed before joining them. The three of them held each other hands in circle and began to cast a summoning spell, "As we call, so you shall answer. As we summon, you shall appear and do the will of thy mistress." Tick dark shadow began to nuzzle up in form of a man in the middle of their circle, and they leave each other's hands, as the shadow stood straight and face Cara. "Show me where the doom is." she commanded.

The shadow whirled and pointed towards the bed exactly at our position. The three of them turned their heads in unison but couldn't see anything. They look back to the shadow and to each other, exchanged a confused look.

I lifted my other hand to my face, clip my fist and cast a spell in a different tongue. "Literale acbatuene abutabuseen" I opened and blew my palm: white powder spread from my hand and met the shadow. Immediately the shadow began to rolled around with loud scream like a whistle, then it's turn to dust.

The three witches look at each other with fear and ran out of the house.

Then I removed my hand from Michael's and the cloak spell broke. "Coincidence you say Micheal?" Lifting up my chin with straight face.

Micheal began to shake. I could tell his belly was shivering. "What just happened," He asked with heavy breath. "how can they not see us?" He stood up. "And... And Cara, Fray,  and, Mercy... " He wiped his face with his both hands, My goodness! turning around, took a deep breath and, turned back to me. "I knew this girls since I was a child... And the leader; who is the leader they were talking about... Only my mother knew I was out looking for you. What is going on!!!"
