Boiling Isles: The Next Generation - Act I.

Chapter XXXI. - The Birth of a Murderer Part VIII.: The Last Ingredient

"Priscilla Daemonne, will you finally pay attention?!"

The purple-haired witch, who had been staring at her porridge in front of her without saying a word, stared at her grandmother in confusion.

"Sorry Grandma." Priscilla apologized in an emotionless voice. "What did you say?"

Ophelia was fuming.

"I said that they recently called me from school! You have already fallen asleep in class three times this month!"

"I'm sorry" said Priscilla, not at all convincing. "It won't happen anymore..."

However, Ophelia did not leave it at that.

"It's not just about falling asleep. But the way you've been behaving recently."

"Why, did I do something wrong?" Priscilla asked innocently, even though she knew that she had done quite a lot in the past months. Among other things, she drained the life energy of four residents, thereby killing them.

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask!" Ophelia's face just turned red with anger. "What the hell are you doing lately?! I hardly see you at home, or even if I do, you're in a state like someone who was chewed up by a badger wolfdog."

"I'm just tired from the many hi..." Priscilla began, but Ophelia immediately interrupted.

"Don't you dare tell me that hiking exhausts you, because I won't accept that!"

"But that's the truth!" Priscilla said stuntedly. "I just can't stand to stay at home because Mom..."

Priscilla bit the end of the sentence and turned her head away so her grandmother couldn't see her tears.

Three months ago, Taneisha had another seizure, but this time it was so severe that she had to be hospitalized. Anaya as well. And it was because of Priscilla again. Because the purple-haired witch had just come out of the bath when she found herself face to face with her mother, who screamed when she saw Priscilla, and then the next moment she had a seizure that shook not only the house, but also the yard. Anaya took action immediately, but while she was trying to calm Taneisha down with her magic, the ceiling cracked as a result of the shaking, and a large piece of it fell straight on Anaya's head, knocking her unconscious. Terrified, Priscilla rushed to Anaya, but she couldn't decide who to help, her mother who was writhing on the floor or Anaya, whose head was bleeding from the piece of ceiling falling on her. The purple-haired witch finally decided on her mother's side and, with great difficulty, managed to calm her down. Priscilla was about to start examining Anaya when Ophelia arrived home, who immediately called the Healing Coven and began tending to Anaya's injury. Not long after, two healers arrived and immediately took Taneisha and Anaya to the hospital.

Ophelia was also with the healers, but Priscilla was still in a towel, so she immediately hurried to her room to get some clothes. That's when she noticed herself in the mirror. Her hair was exactly the same color as Darius's, and she even accidentally pinned her hair up like her father used to. Priscilla did not understand how this was possible when she remembered that she had recently bought a new shampoo so that she could wash her hair better, since she had been regularly using her new form, or as Kewok called it; god form, her hair began to thicken. This is why she had to use another shampoo.

Realizing this, Priscilla went back to the bathroom and read the instructions on the back of the shampoo. It turned out that the shampoo had such a side effect that if you put too much of it on the hair at once, the hair can easily turn an abomination purple color. The shampoo trembled in Priscilla's hand, then she threw the bottle into the sink and went back to her room.

Twenty minutes later, Priscilla was at the hospital, where Ophelia sadly informed her that Taneisha would have to stay in the hospital for a while, and that Anaya's condition was so critical that she needed anesthesia to recover. It turned out that the old witch's brain was slightly bruised. Hearing this, Priscilla ran out of the hospital in tears, ignoring her grandmother's cries, and ran straight into the nearby woods. After half a minute, Priscilla stopped, then transformed and knocked down an entire group of trees in her rage.
