a/n: ill be writing in sophia pov for this chapter!

BEING stuck in a closet with my best friend was not fun at all while having our ankles, wrist, and mouths taped together for a whole night. Having too uncomfortably sleep against the closet wall was not on my bucket list, billy had been the one drifting in & out of sleep. Waking up to a loud scream from the outside of the door, i look at billy to see him awake as well. "You okay?" I mumble concerned due to the tape. "Yeah i guess, i hope the spell worked out." Billy says. I hum "Whoever screamed in rage 3 minutes ago is a sign it did." I giggle quietly, the scream was random and confusing. "Yeah, sorry for dragging you into this mess." Billy says with guilt lacing his words. "Oh don't be, more future stories for my kids." I look at him, trying to send a smile.

Suddenly I start trying to bang the door with any possible force in my body. Billy quickly understands what i was doing as he starts kicking the door. Minutes after that, the door flinging open and seeing the woman with a flower robe, a wooden spoon in hand, and long dark wavy hair. We mumble hi's.

"Oh.. So that arrest was maybe more of a....kidnapping." she says not amused by the fact she locked up two teens in a closet. "But if you two are real and not a figment of my imprisoned mind, then that means.." Suddenly a big explosion sends her flying into against the door. Me and billy look at each other crazy, then a figure with black clothing and a hood walks in her front door. I think to myself 'who is that?'

She then sends agatha against the wall and lauches at her. "I've missed you." The mysterious woman says to her as a dagger is against her neck. "I hate you." Agatha says to her. "How long has it been, Agatha?" Giving her a small talk but not sure. "Since you acquired the darkhold, you did behind all that dark magic, but then you lost it." She puts her knife more into agatha's neck, causing her to start bleeding. "Touch." The woman chuckles. "You're vulnerable." She laughs in her face. Agatha gives her a small laugh with fear lacing her voice. "Only physically." Then they start fighting even more.

Me and billy just watch as they go on at it, being interested in the fight between the two women. I start trying to take the tape off my mouth. I manage to take the tape off my mouth too afraid to speak while the women are talking about 'salem seven.' Then the woman leaves the home of the witch. She turns around spotting the both of us. "hi..." I whisper to her as billy mumbles still having tape around his mouth. "Oh right, you two."

Agatha then starts heading upstairs and comes back in a quick matter of minutes. I hear her complaining as we try getting up from the very small closet. "Look at my front door!" She says , she walks around the house and finds a pair of shoes to put on. I finally find the strength to say something, "Since you're finally not in a spell, maybe help us get out of this tape?" She doesn't even look or say anything just simply ignoring me. "okay..." Billy obviously trying to walk starts mumbling at her. Billy then leans against the wall to get the tape of his mouth. "The house is yours, random children. Be sure to tell the 'vengeance-seekers' I said hi." I was about to say something when billy says "Take me to the Witches' Road! Or us in this case." Looking at me. She freezes and walks up to us, ripping the tape off of billy's face. "Come again?" She looks at us with a look I can't read, a look of confusion or surprise. "The Witches' Road. I want you to take us there... please?" Billy shoots a smile at agatha. "The witches' road doesn't exist." She says. "You're lying." Billy exclaims, "Am I?" She looks at me "Do you think I'm lying?" For a minute i was silent as she raises her eyebrow at me, "Uh no? Yes? I don't know?" I shrug my shoulders. Billy speaks up "that's just what real witches say to keep the amateurs out." She looks at billy with a surprised expression. "The road will give you the thing you want the most. If you make it to the end." He smiles "And I can, I will." Billy says with confidence. "hmm.." she looks at us up and down. "The road is no place for kids." She walks away from us. "I'm 16!" I yell after him "And I'm 18!" She turns around "Oh, sorry a teen and a young adult." We start hopping to her since our legs are still taped up. "I don't know where you kids heard about the road..."

"the books, the ballad, legend, lore.." He ranted. "But it will kill you both." I wide my eyes and look at billy. "Didnt kill you." He says. "Well I'm exceptional." She tells us as she puts on a hat. Billy still not letting it go and still keeps talking. "That's why I came here last night, that's why we did. That's why we saved you from the spell you were under." Billy looks at me and a smile. I smile back remembering all what happened in the last 10 hours. Agatha smiles at us and hums. I speak up "No, please it was our pleasure." She looks at me with a look in her eyes. "Well if you two have the goods to break a spell of the Scarlet Witch," she gasped walking to go sit in her chair, "why do you need the road?" She motions to us to take a seat, which was pretty hot. We hop to take a seat on her sofa, "I mean, I've studied don't get me wrong, but that can only take you so far." She gasps again, turning to me. "And you?" I make eye contact with her "Oh I'm just here to be here to be honest.." I let out a small laugh.

"Hm." She shrugs, billy is still talking about the road with her as I'm just looking around the room. The decor is nice and it's a mess but cozy. "The road promises that what's missing awaits for you at its end." Knowing he was talking about a boy named Tommy, who was his past brother I guess? "Power is what I'm missing, sounds like it's what you're missing too."

I accidentally laugh at what he said, quickly shutting my mouth and looking anywhere but the woman. Agatha smirks looking like she's thinking about it, she quickly gets up from her seat and walks away. "Nope, too risky. No time" Billy gets up and hops after her, as I get up slower than him. "If you wanna run, fine. But these people who are coming tonight sound serious." I obviously really didn't care about what he was talking about and find a pair of scissors. With my more outer hand I manage to grab them and start cutting the tape around my semi-loose wrist. "Shit." I realize I cut a bit of my long sleeve. I manage to break free and start cutting the other half of tape. "Who are you?" I hear Agatha ask billy. "My name is William Kaplin." I hear billy say. The woman who walks up to billy slowly, "Say again." I look at her confused, how did she not hear him? "I'm Billy Maximoff."
