Chapter 38: The Witches Brew a Plan

____

"So let me get this straight," Hester glared, straddling a gilded sink next to Anadil, both their saggy black Nevers' tunics. "Tedros wants to kill Sophie. Sophie wants to kill Tedros. And unless you find an ending with one of them now, everyone in this school dies." Y/n nodded weakly, leaning against one of Honor Tower's ivory bathroom stalls, her right side leaned on Agatha too.

They never thought they would be so happy to see the two witches again. Unlike the rest of the girls, neither of them had changed. Hester's red-and-black-streaked hair was greasier than ever, and the buck horned red demon tattoo around her neck back to full color after a failed spell had weakened it the year before. Anadil, meanwhile, looked even paler than she did before, if that was possible for an albino with ghostly white skin and hair. Straddling the sink next to Hester, she dangled a live lizard to her three black rats that looked just like the ones slain in last year's Good-Evil war.

"A prince and a witch, willing to kill each other for you," Anadil rasped in her scratchy voice. "If it was me, I'd feel faltered." She watched rodents disembowel the lizard and lifted her hooded eyes. "Thankfully I don't have feelings."
"Questionable," Hester murmured. "You just had to find exact replacements of those rats."
"Look, we're hungry, dirty, haven't slept, and an army of boys is willing to kill me for my girlfriend," Agatha said, voice cracking with stress. "We just want to go home alive."
"And yet she wished for Tedros," Hester pointed to Y/n. "Which seems to suggest you won't be going home anytime soon."

Y/n didn't say anything for a moment. "Can you please just tell me what to do so nobody gets hurt?"
"Whoa there, I thought you were the fairy godmother," Hester said, blowing smoke rings with her red fingertip. "Or whatever Sophie had been babbling about, isn't that right Ani?"
"I suppose so," Anadil said, and grafitied a skull in the sink with her glowing green finger. "Only not as ancient or menial."
"Please, you're witches. You have to know another way to take back a wish–"
"So earnest!" Hester whirled and carved a box around Y/n and Agatha's faces in the mirror with her lit finger. "Just look at these helpless, lost little souls. One back in an old uniform, one back in black, searching for the old them. Only, the old version is gone. You're both so desperately trying to escape, but be honest with yourselves, you'll never be able to forget this place. Especially not Y/n, she was born into this world after all, whatever you do, your souls will call you back here." Hester looked into their eyes, grinning. "The old yous are dead, princesses."

"That's not true," Agatha retorted, but Reaper's scratches seared her hand as if they were fresh.
"Dot was right about what she said of you in our first year," Anadil said, red eyes looking into Y/n's. "You would be such a perfect princess to capture, lock up in a tower. So meek and helpless, scared of hurting anyone, naive, such a typical Never."
"Nice to see you two haven't changed," Y/n muttered, taking Agatha's hand and walking for the door. "Reminds me why we aren't friends."

"Oh, now you're hurting my feelings," Hester purred behind her. "You know you'll have to choose eventually. The only question is, who?"
Y/n turned to see the witches slide off their sinks and circle her and Agatha like sharks.
"Sophie or Tedros?" Hester mulled.
"Tedros or Sophie?" Anadil stewed. The two witches leaned against the sinks side by side.
"This requires thought," Hester said, peering at Anadil. Their heads whipped back to Y/n–
"TEDROS," they chorused.
Y/n felt the flutter in her soul, still she ignored it and rolled her eyes. "I won't choose! I will find a way, some way. I will just talk things out with both and find some sort of agreement. Or I'll go back home with Sophie and Agatha."

Hester slid off the sink in one move. "Listen to me, darling. Unless you kiss Tedros, the schools stay the way they are," she hissed, suddenly looking like the dangerous witch Y/n knew. "Kiss him and everything is fixed. Prince with his princess, Witch gone forever. Evers over here, Nevers over there. The School for Good and Evil back in time for me to be third-year Captain."
"Hey, don't talk to her like that!" Agatha said.
"Oh shut up, you bug eyed tramp!" Hester said with a groan.
"I see. I'm worried about people's lives, and you're worried about school." Y/n said, crossing her arms. "Also please don't call my girlfriend that..."
