The Moonstone Witch

The others are still staring at her.

'No? No one understands? Ugh' She throws her head back in annoyance.

Aster swallows.

'You seem to be the only one who does. So maybe-' He's cut off by a blinding light surrounding the Chapel, and a harsh thunderstorm crackling in the sky.

Something, or someone, is trying to force the door open.

Loud clanging echoed all around, fear bubbles in the teens.

'Everyone, surround Sonoma. She can do it, we have to fend off whatever the hell is happening just until she's done' Aster yells over the racket.

Laurie nods immediately, but Pandora hesitates. But she decides that arguing isn't worth it, and agrees.

Sonoma is shocked that her friends would have so much faith in her, but she can't waste time, so she turns back to the scroll, and grabs the candle from the ground.

'Dearest Womyn Of My Brethren' She reads.

'Who wrote that?' Pandora calls.

Before tonight, Sonoma would not know. But the truth came to her easily.

'Lavinia Alderbridge. More widely known as The Moonstone Witch' Sonoma allows herself a small smile to Pandoras shock, and continues.

'In our bones, stardust glimmers'

Sonomas fingertips begin to emit something similar to liquid starlight.

'In our eyes, moon beams shine'

The magick strengthens.

'Enchantment to your very soul'

The others began to feel a tug, leading to a stronger relationship with their magick.

'Magic pours from our core'

The door flings open, and shadowy creatures lunge.

'Us witches are unique, devine and strong'

Pandora creates a barrier of vines.

'To the earth, and to the universe we belong '

Power pulses through the teen witches veins.

'Cast our eyes upon the skies'

The brilliant glow emitting from Sonomas fingertips strengthens.

'Feel the power in you rise'

Aster traces constellations in the air, and they come to life to protect the teens.

'Speak aloud, whisper and shout'

Sonomas lips spread into a smile.

'All the things you dream about'

The moon like eyes of hers glow like the starlight flowing from her fingers.

'Someone is listening, you will see'

She becomes more confident in her words.

'And in your wish with mote it be'

Her eyes close. Now her words are her own.

'Veiled in dust and darkened clouds'

The others feel her aura stronger then ever.

'Hidden in darkened crowds'

The glow from her fingers began to turn to a searing light, pouring onto the ground, and trailing along the floor.

'Witches, they label'

Her eyes open. Now, without an Iris and pupil.

'Bewitched us, they claimed'

There's some incredibly wrong.

'As for now, a shallow flame'

Her irises and pupils return, as the monstrous creatures retreat.

The thunderstorm stops.

The teens turn to Sonoma, and Aster catches her as she fell unconscious.

'What just happened' Pandora whispers, eyes wide.

Laurie is the next to speak.

'I don't know. But that was terrifying'
