Destiny: The Untold Story of Evelyn Salvatore

Chapter XIII

Imogen and I introduce the idea to my parents, and they are totally on board. Moira dragged my parents and me through hell, and I want her to pay for it.

"When are we going to do this?" Imogen asks.

"ASAP" I say.

"What?" she asks, with a confused expression.

"It's an acronym for "As soon as possible"' I say, laughing.

"Oh. Okay," she says, "Today? Seven o'clock sharp?" she asks.

"Sure," I say, "I'll meet you at your house."

"Great. I'll be on my way then," she says walking out and smiling.

I really want to call Cassie and Juliet, and all my friends to tell them that I'm back, but I want to wait until Moira is gone. Then we can really have a special reunion. And most of all I want to call Lukas. I want to kiss him, and let him know that I'm okay. And I really did miss sitting on the living room couch all day long with my parents in that prison world. Even though I was only there for a short time, I missed everything. We really don't know how much we'll miss something until it's ripped right out of our arms.

I walk into the kitchen and see Mom and Dad drinking coffee. For the next nine-ish hours, I sit on the living room couch, watching "One Tree Hill," with my parents all day long, and taking sips of Mom's coffee, as she's not looking. But this time, I'm not bored out of my mind; I'm actually enjoying it.
It's 6:30. I go upstairs to freshen up, and surprisingly, Mom stands outside my door! We are making progress here. I put on my grey jeans, my favorite black top, and leather jacket.

I start walking to her house, and take the shortcut through the woods. I arrive at her house, and knock on the door. She opens it and smiles.

"Let's do this," I say. We both smile and start walking toward the direction of Moira's cave. We reach the cave, and I start to walk toward the secret tunnel, when Imogen grabs my arm and stops me.

"You realize that she might kill us right?" Imogen asks with worry.

"I am completely aware," I say. She nods and lets go of my arm.

"When we walk into cave, and if she no see us, we start the spell right then and there," she say.

"Okay," I say, "And even if she does see us, she'll be too stunned to do anything right on the spot." She nods and we slowly walk into the cave. Once we reach the inside, Moira's back is turned to us and it looks like she is mixing something on her table. She is wearing a flowy, light blue maxi-dress. Imogen and I join hands and start chanting the spell. Moira whips her head around, and widens her eyes. She looks so stunned that she opens her mouth to speak, but nothing comes out.
She falls down onto her knees clutching her head, and letting out an ear splitting scream. She keeps trying to put her hand out and use her powers, but it isn't working. The more we chant the spell, the more we strip her of her powers. As we're finishing the spell, all of the elements of nature are coming out of Moira's chest, through a bright light beaming out of it.

We finish the spell, and Moira is lying there. On the floor of the cave. I think she's a human now... so we can easily kill her.

She starts to get up and shouts, "What did you do?" She starts to charge at us, but we hold her back with our powers.
I stop, and said to Imogen, "Let her go." Moira looks like she is filled with rage.

"If you try anything, I'll snap my fingers and you'll be dead," I threaten to Moira. I walk over to her table and see a blade. I pick it up and walk back over to her.

"Because you're such a powerful witch, you would be able to heal if I cut you," I say. It took her hand and made a cut on her finger. Nothing happens. I smirk.

"We did it," I look at Imogen and we both smile.

Moira looks me right in the eye and said, "I thought I got rid of you. Both of you!" she exclaims.

"Well you thought wrong. But the thing is Moira, I am not a killer. Unless you wish to die, I am choosing not to kill you. But I will curse you, to make sure that you cannot turn into any sort of supernatural creature, ever again," I say, and I grip her head, and chant another short spell. Her eyes close, and then they open, and are completely white. Then they close, and then open again and they were normal. She looks at her body in dismay.

"Have a nice human life, bitch," I say, giving her my fake smile. Imogen and I leave the cave, hugging and jumping and laughing.

"I cannot believe that worked!" she says.

"I know!" I say beaming.

"Well, it looks like she is out of our hair now," Imogen says with a smile.

"Yup," I say happily, "You know, Imogen..." I say.

"Yes?" she asks.

"Would you, maybe like to meet some of my friends?" I ask hopefully.

"Um, sure," she says hesitantly. I smile and we walk back to my house. When we get there, the front door is open, and we walk in. I walk to the right into the living room, and see Mom in her usual spot reading a magazine, and Dad in his usual spot reading the newspaper.

Mom looks up from her magazine, and both her and Dad stand up and walk over to me.
"So... what happened?" Mom asks with anxiety in her voice.

"She's a human," I say, "She can't hurt me anymore." Mom gives a sigh of relief and her, Dad and I have a group hug. Mom smiled and put her hands on my cheeks,

"I'm so proud of you," she says, tearing up.

"Mom, don't cry," I say, laughing.

"Imogen, would you like to stay for dinner?" Mom asks.

"Um, sure," she answers, smiling.
Mom makes steak, and it is so good! I missed her cooking while I was trapped in that prison world. When dinner's over, Imogen is about to leave, when I stop her.

"I'm going to meet up with my friends tomorrow at the park in town tomorrow at around noon, do you want to come?" I ask, putting my hands in my back pockets.

"Okay," she says, "I will see you then," she says, walking out.

I shut the door behind her, and go upstairs to my room and flop down on my bed. I can't even believe Moira is a human. She's never been a human before. The fact that she has to learn how to be a human the hard way, just makes me laugh.
