Moon Phases (Agatha Harkness X Fem!Reader)

Chapter XXIV.

The sky was beautiful, at that time, and you let Teen in charge of the broom as you fell on the stars and the bright red full moon.

Your eyes closed, and you spread your hands, feeling the intense power of the full moon heating you with invisible waves.

A red full moon was rare and was the most powerful of moon phases, capable of even thinning the veil between living and dead.

Ironically, it was when your magic was also the most volatile, but you still took pleasure in its beautiful shade and that feeling of power that was bubbling inside of you like a filled cauldron above a powerful fire.you

"Mmm," you moaned faintly.

"Okay, this is creepy," Jen commented, watching your moon bathe in an ominous red mood.

You opened your eyes and looked at her, feeling amused. This was shown by the twinkle in your eye and that smirk you gave—one that definitely made Jen question your sanity for a moment.

The moment was interrupted by Teen, who had gotten the handle of controlling the broom.

"Why haven't we been doing this all along?" He asked, curiosity getting the best of him.

Before anyone could answer him, the world started to spin literally. As if someone was turning everything upside down, you all felt the gravity pulling you down quickly.

"It's The Road. It's forcing us down," Lilia shouted amid the screams of fear and shock.

"I don't think it's the Road," you exclaimed as suddenly you all started to fall straight for the ground, the brooms no longer able to fly.

"We're going to crash..." Alice exclaimed.

Screams followed, and only Rio cackled like a true evil witch from a children's fairy tale, enjoying the ride and the thrill of adrenaline.

You leaned forward against Teen's back and grasped his hands, helping him steady the broom.

"Everyone pull!"

By your order, everyone did their best to pull the brooms, and somehow, you managed to avoid crashing. You kept flying, the ground far closer now to you, but at least you were alive and unharmed.

Up ahead, you all noticed a wooden cabin with glowing lights in the middle of the dark woods; your next trial.

However, one of the Salem Seven appeared before reaching it and blocked your path. They opened their mouth, letting out a swarm of bees.

More screams followed. As you passed through the cursed witch, hundreds of bees tried to sting and blind you, causing you all to fall to the ground.

Left with no choice, everyone rushed for the wooden cabin while trying to push away any bee too close to their faces.

You entered last and closed the door with more force than intended, panting heavily as the adrenaline slowly left your body.

Agatha groaned, making you glance at her.

"Oh, my God!" She exclaimed. "Okay. All right. Okay. Okay. We're okay."

Jen did not agree, not that it surprised you. "No, we're not! The entire Halloween aisle's outside waiting for us."

"And it doesn't look like they can get in, does it?"

You turned your back on them and placed your ear against the wooden door, trying to listen. There was no sound outside, and you did not sense any magic whatsoever, which made you breathe a sigh of relief.

At least for the moment, you were safe, and you could breathe.

Agatha took your silence as an answer. "See, all good. So, all we have to do is complete the trial and continue on before they can reach us. Okay?"
