Twisted fate|Agatha all along

Chapter 6

💚Through many miles/Of tricks and trials-part 2💜

"What is this a Wedding? Please god not a baby shower."

Cass's mother said as she snatched the card out of the boy's hands.

"The witches road cordially invites you to the first trial."

Jen read out after snatching the card from Agatha's hands, Cass shaking her head at them.

"It's a riddle. My age has value, I'm no fun alone, I mess with your mind my tricks are well known."

Jen read out the riddle, Cass immediately knowing what it was but she didn't want to steal anyone's thunder.

"It's lovely card stock, double sided too."

Mrs hart said adding nothing to the conversation, Cass mumbling under her breath,

"It's wine."

But no one heard her, everyone continued to talk,

"What does it mean?"

Teen asked, Cass mumbled the answer again and yet no one heard her.

"Sounds like a witch."

Agatha pointed out, Cass could kind of see where her mother got that from but that wasn't the answer.

"Sounds like you."

Jen quipped back, Agatha mimicking her Cass shaking her head her mother was really a child sometimes.

"Wine!"

Mrs hart exclaimed, Cass grateful that someone finally caught on, only to turn around to see the woman had seen a bottle of wine and hadn't actually gotten the riddle.

"That's it. 10 points for Mrs hart."

Alice congratulated Mrs hart, cass scoffed a little she had said it multiple times before Mrs hart but no one was listening. Cass counted how many glasses were there, there was a glass for her but she didn't want to drink anything but she knew they probably were going to make her so she had to take precautions. Cass saw Mrs hart reach for the bottle before Alice interjected.

"Wait, we don't know what'll happen if we drink it."

Alice said Mrs hart putting the bottle of wine back on the table, Cass laughed, of course they knew what was going to happen the trial was going to start.

"Yes, we do. Something terrible but if we don't follow these obvious breadcrumbs, we can't move forward and we won't get to the big prize, so does anyone have a corkscrew?"

Cass said, at that moment Cass realised how much she sounded like her mum.

"There's a built in bar."

Teen said racing off to get the corkscrew, Jen soon following him, Cass could her her talking shit about her mother but she couldn't be bothered to confront her, Cass was just going to tell the boy not to believe everything Jen said about Agatha. Agatha pouring everyone out a glass including Cass, who shook her head as her mother poured it but her mother poured it anyway.

"If you're waiting for a charcuterie I don't think it's coming."

Agatha said, as she did that Mrs hart grabbed her glass and downed the whole glass, everyone looking towards Mrs hart everyone. Cass's hunch was probably going to turn out to be right, Mrs hart wasn't going to make it past the first test.

"I have had a very hard day, do not judge."

Sharon said as everyone stared at her, a very ominous timer started ticking down.
