"What is that?"
"That is a ghost. I hate ghosts." So did Ellie, see ghosts and spirits were different. Ghosts stay on this plane through a tether of emotion. Ellie can't see them, but she can feel them. Unlike spirits, ghosts have not accepted their death and choose to stay on this plane. Makes it really inconvenient for her and Rio.
"Who... Who are you?" Lilia asked for the group, keeping both her arms out in front of everyone.
"Evanora Harkness of the Salemites."
"Hey, Mom." Agatha said from upstairs "It was nice having you in my body for a second there. I've never felt so close to you before." She jokily said to her mom though it didn't land. Evanora floated towards them, anger obvious.
"My coven risked everything to kill her. And you fools have willingly joined her." The last part causes fear in the coven.
"Stop embarrassing me in front of my friends, Mom." Agatha tries to joke again.
"So what do we do? Do we banish her?" Jen asked the ghost, looking at the others for help.
"Emotion ties them to this plane. They have unfinished business."
"So let's finish her business." Teen stated.
"Okay."
Teen stepped up to face the ghost "What do you want?"
"You must finish the Witches' Road without Agatha." Evanora told them her request.
"She means punish Agatha."
"Leave her with me." Evanora wickedly smiled at the thought of finally punishing her daughter.
"No!" Ellie screams, pushing her way to the front despite Alice and Lilia trying to get her back "No way am I leaving her!"
"A minute ago you were choked by her!" Jen retorted back. Ellie snapped back.
"That was her mother possessing her, you dumb bitch. And either way, her mom can't have her." Evanora growled at the witch, stalking up to her which made Rio push Ellie behind her.
"Mom?" Agatha intervened, not wanting Ellie to get more hurt because of her "Why do you hate me still?"
"You were born evil." Evanora stated matter of fact, her words bringing tears to her eyes. Her next words caused even Rio to look away "I ought to have killed you the moment you left my body."
There was a silence that covered the room, nobody knowing what to say. Ellie herself felt her heart break for Agatha, and from the look on her face, Rio did as well.
"We have to go." Jen walked away but no one followed her.
"Jen." Teen spoke up shocked at Jen's easy dismissal of Agatha.
"No, no. There's no flood here. There's no fire. The only danger to us in this trial is Agatha Harkness."
"Please take me with you." Agatha begged, tears almost coming down "Don't. Let me. Please. Don't go!
