House Of The Witches

Chapter 33: Two Daggers And A Skreel

Samson, Nelly and Darryl were slicing snakes apart like they were playing "Fruit Ninja" but it was only their situation worse as the snakes just seemed to be getting even more.

"This is hopeless, guys, we're just making more." Nelly said with so much fear.

"We gotta open the door and get out of here!" Darryl said.

Nelly turned around and hit the door but it didn't open.

"Do you guys know that spell Carl uses to open doors? Maybe that's what we need." He asked.

A snake leapt at Samson and he caught it in the air and threw it away.

"I think it's Ureta something!" Samson said to Nelly.

Nelly faced the door and put his hand out, while Darryl and Samson kept killing the snakes.

"Ureta Exempo! Ureta Estello! Ureta Magneto!" Nelly said but none of the spells he was saying was correct.

"Guys it's not working!" He alerted them.

"Keep trying." Darryl shouted.

Nelly continued saying random spells until..."Ureta Expello!" 

The door blasted open and the guys jumped outside and slammed the door shut, locking the snakes inside.

They laid on the floor and were all breathing heavily.

"That was way too close guys." Samson said, out of breath.

"Tell me about it." Nelly replied.

They helped each other back to their feet and wondered if they should try a different room.

"Who knows what's going to crawl out of the next room? This is just so...grrr." Nelly said frustratedly.

"We have to keep looking! It's the only way to get out of here and go home." Darryl said.

They decided to enter another room so they moved through the corridor. They arrived at another door which looked a lot more fancy than the others.

"Fancy doors in huge houses usually lead to the room of an important person." Nelly mentioned.

"Yeah you're right. I'd be willing to bet that this is totally Constance's room." Darryl said.

"In that case, what are we waiting for?" Samson asked.

They held up their torches and weapons and pushed the door open. Darryl was the first to go in, followed by Nelly and then Sam. They cautiously walked in and were relieved to see pictures and portraits of Constance hanging all over the walls which made them even more certain that this was her bedroom.

"Ok, this is definitely her room because we all know that she's a narcissist and these portraits of her face everywhere further proves that." Nelly said.

"That means her Witch Dagger is most likely to be in here." Samson added.

"Well, let's find out." Darryl said.

He took the little vial of Witcher's Dust and poured it on his palm. He blew the dust and it floated all over the room until it became suspended in midair. The dust revealed an invisible cabinet by the edge of the room.

"There was an enchantment on that cabinet that made it invisible, which means something of great importance is inside of it." Samson said and moved closer. 

He got to the cabinet and slowly reached out for one of the drawers and began to pull it open.

Samson opened a drawer and looked inside it. It contained a mirror and hairbrush and they looked like ordinary items.
