The Stars Between Us

If I Can't Reach You/ Let My Song Teach You & Darkest Hour/ Wake Thy Power

(Imagine there's a violin playing along with them, I couldn't find one with that version)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was silence for a couple of seconds until Alice started playing the piano.

''I have learned the lesson
Of all that's foul and fair
Our love was forged in fire
Water, Earth, and Air
The spell is cast, how long it lasts
I cannot divine
The road is there
And so I dare
To risk this heart of mine

Down, down, down the road
Down the Witches' Road
Down, down, down the road
Down the Witches' Road
Down, down, down the road
Down the Witches' Road
Follow me, my friend
To glory at the end''

Fire erupted suddenly behind Alice, licking the walls as if the curse itself had grown furious. Flames surged around them, trapping the witches in a circle of heat.

"Oh, great! Fire!" Lilia threw her hands up in exasperation

"It's angry," Rio commented, almost gleeful, her smile widening as she continued to play the drums with eerie calmness, the rhythm in perfect time with the chaos. Starlight leaped from Nyxara's shoulder, darting across the room before settling on Rio's lap, curling up as if unaffected by the danger, purring softly.

Rio looked down at the black cat who was still wearing the shirt, necklace and bright yellow gasses. She smiled before her eyes found the cosmic witch playing the violin.

Agatha's voice cut through the tension, sharp and commanding, "Stop phoning it in! Play like a witch!" she barked at Alice, her eyes blazing as brightly as the fire.

Alice hesitated, sweat beading on her forehead, but then her fingers found the keys, and with renewed determination, she played, the song filling the room, battling against the crackling of the flames. Agatha began to sing again, her voice rising to meet the curse head-on.

''I have known the power
Of midnights in the wood
I've danced inside the circle
Of all that's bad and good
The dangers grеat, the trials wait
For those who seek the prizе
Tame your fears
A door appears
To love that never dies

As we go
Down, down, down the road
Down the Witches' Road
Down, down, down the road
Down the Witches' Road (Down the Witches' Road)
Down, down, down the road
Down the Witches' Road
Blood and tears and bone
Together and alone

If I can't reach you
Let my song teach you
All you need to keep our love alive
If I can't hold you
Remember what I told you
It's the only way we survive
We survive''

Alice's hands hovered over the piano keys, her focus suddenly shifting. She stopped playing, her eyes narrowing as something caught her attention. There, perched high on a pillar, was the curse. It snarled, its shriek piercing through the fire-lit room. The air felt thick with tension as the curse's presence grew, its twisted form glaring down at her.

Agatha, still drumming out the beat, noticed Alice had stopped. She looked to the other side to see what she was looking at but there was nothing. Alice didn't turn her head. Her voice, steady but intense, broke through the noise. "The curse. I see it. I can see it." Her eyes hardened with resolve. "I can kill it."

Without another word, Alice's fingers hit the keys again, the music resuming with more force. The curse shrieked once more, furious, but Alice was determined now.

''As we go
Down the Witches' Road
Down the Witches' Road
Down, down, down the road
Down the Witches' Road
Down, down, down
Wherever it may bend
I'll see you at the end
I'll see you at the end
I'll see you at the end
I'll see you at the end
I'll see you at the end!''
