WARNINGS: Character Death
Lake sat on the office floor with her legs folded underneath her. She went through Rowena's grimoires, searching for a resurrection spell.
The door to her office opened, causing her to look up. Lake sat up to address Rowena.
"Find anything," Rowena asked, her heels clicking on the wood floor.
"Not yet," Lake said, "But I'll keep looking."
Rowena sat in her desk chair, crossing her legs.
"Lake, we need to talk about your obsession with this resurrection spell," Rowena said.
"Why? What's the issue," Lake asked, knitting her eyebrows.
"Resurrection spells usually require a lot more than you're able to handle," Rowena reasoned.
"I'm not going to break my promise," Lake said.
Rowena sighed deeply and grabbed the grimoire from her hands.
"Lake, this isn't just a resurrection spell. You're talking about necromancy," Rowena reasoned.
"I know what I'm talking about. And I can do it with enough power," Lake said.
"No, you can't. This person isn't a normal human," Rowena said, "You're bringing back someone, who's already dead."
"Rowena, I just need the right spell ingredients and I can save him," Lake said, "What do you need? More money? I can get you money! I just need that spell!"
"But at what cost? Your life? Someone else's? You are a good person with a good heart," Rowena argued, "I will not let you destroy yourself for this!"
"A life? This spell requires a sacrifice," Lake whispered, "Doesn't it?"
Rowena mentally kicked herself for not filtering her words.
"Lake, I can't let you do this..."
A crash was heard in the living room. Rowena went to check it out. While she was gone, Lake got a message from Dominic. He told her to leave out the back door.
Lake stood up and grabbed her backpack. Then she quickly ran out the back door before Rowena could notice. She found Dominic waiting for her next to his car.
"Missed me," Dominic smiled.
"What the hell are you doing here? You're supposed to be in Beacon Hills," Lake scolded.
"Esther is alive," Dominic said, his smile dropping.
