Star crossed | Agatha all along

016| Knowledge is power

"That boy is not yours."

Rio's words rang through Agatha head as she went to collect Billy it was time to move on to the next trial. Agatha knew that boy wasn't hers Valentina was still talking to her brother there was a sliver of hope that teen was her son and that Valentina was loosing it but that sliver was gone now.

"Come on, teen. Time to move onto the next trial."

Agatha said as she pulled the boy up, they had to get a move on she felt like something was coming.

"Okay. Okay. Who do we think's trial is next?"

Teen asked Agatha who looked down at the leaves of the road, they were now silver, the usual colour of a healing witches powers.

"I'm going to hazard a guess and say Sofia's."

Agatha said picking up a leaf from the ground to show the boy who seemed to agree with her now.

"Time to go, gang."

Agatha told the group who were all still sitting around the fire, Valentina could see the worried look in her mother's eyes.

"Let's go."

Valentina said as she stomped out the fire, everyone looking at her very concerned.

"Relax guys. That didn't hurt. Come on it's time for the next trial."

Valentina told the group who all begrudgingly getting up from their seats and following them. Rio was at the back of the group, thinking about what Valentina had said before when they were sat around the fire. As the group was walking suddenly a rehab looking kind of hospital building appeared in front of them. Sofia letting out a sigh of relief, the road didn't seem to know about the house, unlike it did for Alice.

"Whose trial is this?"

Lilia asked, she was genuinely confused, Agatha and Valentina letting out a laugh, they thought knowledge must be power at least in the case of the road.

"Isn't it obvious? It's our healing witch's trial. That is a hospital building after all."

Agatha said with a laugh, the group looking over at Sofia who now had to put a scared look on.

"I mean, maybe we could go around it."

Sofia asked semi scared that when she got inside the road would actually know the things that scared her.

"Yeah cause that worked well for Alice last time. Come on Sofia, let's go."

Valentina said playing into Sofia's pretend scaredness, Sofia letting out a sigh before they all continued to walk towards the building. There was a moon phase on this door but Valentina didn't care to pay enough attention to what it was.

"It's-"

"We don't have to do this dance every time. Let's just get on with this."

Valentina interrupted teen's attempt to tell them about what phase of the moon it was and what it meant. As the door got pushed open and they all forwarded in, they seemed to all get separated. Only Sofia stood in front of the door they had just come in, the road not having changed her outfit like at all. As she stood there the door shut itself behind her causing her to jump, in front of her there were three separate ways she could go but she didn't know which way to go, she had no idea where the others were.

"Valentina? Alice?"

Sofia called out, she was slightly panicked she hated being alone, almost as much as Valentina hated it.

"Sofia you have to save us!"

Sofia heard the sound of Valentina's voice call out but she couldn't tell from which way it was coming from. Suddenly Sofia heard humming coming from behind her, she immediately knew who it was, starting to run down one of the three corridors. Sofia opened every door as she ran past checking if any of the others were behind but she was extremely conscious of the humming coming from behind her. These corridors were so dimly lit that it made it hard for Sofia to see where she was going. Finally she opened a door which had someone behind it, it was Jen who appeared to bleeding to death on the floor in this otherwise completely white room.
