The Origin Of The Witches

Chapter 3, Dark Intentions.

After the meeting with Joseph in the woods, Hayley's thoughts were on edge. She ran home and researched about a lost book. A dark but powerful spell book. Hayley's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts as she considered her options. She knew the risks of seeking out the ancient, dark spell book that was rumoured to hold the secrets of the past. She knew that it could corrupt anything and everything that came into contact with it. And yet, the thought of unlocking the mysteries of Joseph's heritage was too tempting to resist. She couldn't help but wonder if the answers she sought lay within the pages of that book. It was a dangerous path to tread, but Hayley was determined to do whatever it took to uncover the truth. Hayley made her way down the narrow path that led to Agnes' cottage, her mind racing with questions. She needed to speak with Agnes, to ask her a question that had been weighing on her mind. As she approached the cottage door, she took a deep breath, steeling herself for what was to come. She knocked tentatively, waiting for Agnes to answer and wondering what her response would be.

Hayley took a deep breath before speaking to Agnes, knowing that what she was about to ask could potentially put both of them in grave danger. "Agnes, I need your help," she said, her voice low and urgent. "There's an ancient, dark spell book that's said to hold the answers to the past, and I need to find it." Agnes frowned, concern etched on her face. "Why do you need this book, Hayley? You know how dangerous it is. It corrupts the user when in contact with it." "I know," Hayley replied, her heart racing. "But I need to find out Joseph's heritage. I need to know where he comes from, who his ancestors were. And I think this book holds the answers." Agnes hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Okay, I'll help you. But we have to be careful. We can't let the book corrupt us. It's too dangerous." Hayley felt a sense of relief flood over her. With Agnes by her side, she knew they stood a chance of finding the book and unlocking its secrets. But she also knew that the journey would be fraught with peril. As they set out on their quest, Hayley couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation. The thought of the dark spell book, with all its power and corruption, made her skin crawl. But she pushed her fears aside, knowing that the answers she sought were worth any risk. Together, she and Agnes would face whatever dangers lay ahead and uncover the truth about Joseph's heritage.

Priscilla and Tabitha sat hidden in the bushes, listening intently to Hayley and Agnes' conversation. They had been suspicious of Hayley's sudden interest in the ancient, dark spell book and had followed her to Agnes' cottage. As they listened, their concern only grew. They knew the dangers of the spell book and the corruption it could bring. They also knew that Hayley was willing to risk everything to uncover the truth about Joseph's heritage. Priscilla shook her head in disbelief, unable to understand why Hayley would put herself and others in such danger. Tabitha's expression was grim as she listened to the conversation. She had heard stories about the dark spell book and the devastation it had wrought. She couldn't understand why Hayley would be so reckless, especially when they had so much to lose. As she watched Hayley and Agnes depart, she knew that they had to act fast. They couldn't let Hayley's quest for answers put them all in peril. As nightfall descended, the girls all retired to their rooms, exhaustion washing over them after a long day. But Priscilla and Tabitha had other plans. They knew they couldn't let Hayley and Agnes continue their dangerous quest for the dark spell book. As the others slept soundly, Priscilla and Tabitha slipped out of their rooms, their minds made up.

 Priscilla and Tabitha made their way quietly to Agnes' cottage, their hearts pounding with determination. They knew they had to act fast if they were going to stop Hayley and Agnes from finding the dark spell book. As they approached the cottage, they could hear the low murmur of voices coming from inside. They stepped back. Closed their eyes and declared their chant  "By the power of light and love,I cast a boundary from above." As Priscilla and Tabitha ran back to their own cottage, they couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and satisfaction. Their spell had worked, and they had successfully sealed Hayley and Agnes inside their own cottages. The two girls high-fived each other, grinning from ear to ear at their successful mischief. However, as they settled into their beds for the night, a small part of them couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt for what they had done. After all, Hayley and Agnes were their friends, and they knew that what they had done was wrong. But for now, they pushed those thoughts aside, convincing themselves that it was all just harmless fun.
