The creatures within TNN

Chapter 13

"Hey Charlotte, what was that about?" Holly asked when she saw Charlotte walk back into the room. "Oh nothing, my girlfriend just assumed something was wrong with you when I have the power to notice if something's wrong," Charlotte admitted to Holly, her tone dripping with annoyance. "I even tried to tell them nothing could be wrong, but Mia wasn't having it, that was so annoying, I'm so sorry if they now believe Mia," Winter told the vampire-siren half breed. "It's okay Winter, if they don't believe you two, then it's not your fault," Holly assured him.

"I'm telling you, something is wrong with Holly! I don't care that Charlotte can tell if something's off, her eyes shifted like her pupils turned into slits for a few seconds before going back to being round, it didn't make sense," Mia explained to the group. "Mia, are you sure about her eyes turning into slits?" Vivian asked. "Yes, I'm positive!" Mia practically shouted, trying to make her point even through the doubt. "I've heard about it on sirens, elves have the power to manipulate them, their eyes will be a slit for a few seconds, but as time goes on, the eyes will stay like that until it's over, but why would mom control Holly?" Delilah told the group, but asked because she didn't know why Willow would do that. She and Holly were best friends. "So I wasn't crazy, but why doesn't Charlotte know?" Mia asked. "She can't, that spells too old, I heard Roger talking about it while I was compelled, sirens can't notice a mind control spell because it's unknown of for a siren to be mind controlled, but Willow, she'd be old enough and strong enough to do it," Siobhan admitted, looking down as Vivian squeezed her wrist to tell her it'd be okay in a silent way.

"So, I overheard a phone call between Holly saying she'd do it, but I don't know what that would be exactly," Carly told them as she joined in the discussion shortly after Deliah came back in the room.

"I don't know, but Siobhan, can you go back to what you heard while my father compelled you?" Autumn asked. Siobhan just nodded as she started. "Well, once a month, he'd call this other person, he'd call them Auttie, at first I thought it was a nickname for an aunt, but the only family Roger truly has is his sister, and his children. I'm not saying it's true, but I think someone else may have been called Autumn, and that's who you got your name from," Siobhan explained, looking at Autumn as Charlotte and Winter joined the room to hear the discussion, sitting by their partners silently.

"Autumn was Willow's original name," Holly's voice rang out from the doorway before the sipire left the room again.

"Huh, guess that makes sense, but why would she start controlling Holly?" Reece asked as none of them had an answer. "Never mind that, continue on Siobhan," Reece said as Siobhan nodded, holding Vivian's hand tighter.

"Well, besides those calls, sometimes he'd sit by Janice's side at the events that were weekly, I never did hear what they said, but Roger seemed to know what to say that made Janice relax even if she never looked stressed herself, and there's still the matter of the person who turned her, according to the files I stole from Roger, whoever turned Janice is still alive, but they probably won't be interested in helping us out," Siobhan told the entire group except Holly because none of them knew where they went, and Willow because she was still missing, probably still talking with Janice.

"You could've told me you know," Willow said, annoyed to her ex-wife. "I know, but it was better that way, now let me out of your fucking mind prison," Janice replied, pissed because she couldn't escape an elf's prison. "Sure, only if you agree to an ownership spell." Willow just stated firmly, leaving no room for another way out. "You wouldn't, you love me for fuck's sake!" Janice shouted, knowing the ownership spell would make her have the same injuries as Willow, the same spell Siobhan was under, obedient to the one who did the spell once they saw that person. "No Juliette, I don't, I barely trust you right now, you broke my heart, and you expect me to act like I did before we divorced? Agree to it or stay here until you lose your mind, there's no way out." Willow replied. "Fine, do the damn spell," Janice replied, looking away as she held out one of her hands to Willow.
