House Of The Witches

Chapter 32: The Dagger

Looking for this Dagger would be as difficult as looking for Santa Claus when he comes to put your presents under the Christmas tree.

Some kids usually stay up late so they can catch a glimpse of Santa, but they never do. The two situations are almost similar but in one case, you frown because you didn't see what you were looking for but in the case of Darryl, Jennifer, Samson, Nelly and Peace, they will probably be slaughtered by a monster and forgotten in the Constance's house, never to be discovered.

"Alright! Where do you think Constance would have hidden her Dagger?" Peace asked Moriah, although she was too thrilled about it.

"Well, this house didn't exist while I was still alive so I don't know for certain but what I do know is that the Dagger has to be close to the Witch. It's a very important tool and since she used it to lay the curse on Kristopher, then it must be in her bedroom." Moriah said.

"But we don't know which room was her bedroom!" Darryl said.

"Yeah, there's like fifteen different rooms in this house." Nelly added.

"Just like I said before, we'll have to split up to cover more ground." Moriah said.

"Alright! Sam, Nels, the three of us should check all the rooms upstairs while Jenny and Peace check the rooms downstairs." Darryl said.

They all picked up their weapons and were about to clear out when Moriah stopped them.

"Wait!" Moriah suddenly said.

"What is it now?" Peace asked, frustrated.

"Do you still have some of the Witcher's Dust?" Moriah asked.

Darryl put his hand into his trouser pocket and brought out the little vial that still had some of the dust in it.

"Yes, there's still a little. Why?" He asked Moriah.

"Witcher's Dust doesn't just incapacitate Witches. It can also disable their enchantments." Moriah said.

"And, what does that mean for us?" Nelly asked Moriah.

"Constance's Witch Dagger won't just be lying out in the open for you to easily find. It should be hidden somewhere and I'm certain it would be concealed with an enchantment so, when you find her bedroom, blow the dust in and it will break  her enchantment for a little while so you can get the Dagger." 

They nodded at Moriah's instructions and they began climbing to the top of the house.

"The three of you be careful, okay?" Peace said.

"Always!" Samson said back.

The boys walked away until they were out of sight and the gleam of their flames had disappeared.

"Well then! The two of you look around here and I'll be back shortly." Moriah said and started to fade away.

"Wait a minute!" Jennifer said to her and she stopped fading.

"Where are you going? You have to go help the guys look and protect them as well." Jennifer said.

"I can't protect them without a body, remember? And our deal was that if you ever need the full-scale of my magic, then I could possess any of you so let's wait until such a time should arise." Moriah said and disappeared.

"Where does she even go?" Jennifer asked, wondering.

"I have no idea." Peace answered.
