Black Rituals

Chapter 4

"Let them go." I demanded, "They didn't do anything to deserve being held hostage."

"Yes, I know. But they're incredible creatures, aren't they? Who knew fairies and gypsies still existed?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Don't tell me you didn't know.. Your friend Vivian, she's a fairy."

I stay silent, it's better that I pretend like I didn't know.

"But you knew that. You knew that all along. And your other friend, I didn't quite catch her name. Was it, Sierra? Savannah? Serenity.. Who knew gypsies still existed, I thought they went extinct around like the pirate days."

"Serenity's not a gypsy."

"Oh but she is. I had to get samples of each one of your friends blood to double check. I really did think that they were both human. You almost fooled me."

"What do you even need them for? Just let them go before I call my mom."

"You know, I thought that you would actually be my second chance. I really did think that I could have raised you so much better than I raised your mother. She was a disappointment to all witches. You haven't completely disappointed me, you still have time. I want to make a deal, how's that?"

I sighed, "Okay. What do you want?"

"Let me be your guider. I'll teach you everything you need to know about magic. Say yes and I'll let your friends go both alive."

"That's it? You want to guide me?"

"Indeed, see, I'm not so much of a bad grandmother am I?"

"I'm on my way."

Vivian's POV:

"Can we just go? We won't get in between your stupid ritua-" Florence cut me off,

"You misunderstood me, Miss Booras. You are just leverage. You are the least of my worries, trust me."

"Then why are we still here? We're not even apart of a coven, we aren't even witches for God's sake. Let us out."

"You are not getting the point. You two are going to stay here until my granddaughter comes home and swears not to lie to me ever again. We're family. Unlike you both, I'll find out a way to get rid you."

"Wait.. what are you talking about now?"

"My granddaughter does not need you two. Family is important, family is always first. You can understand that, can you? Although, I cannot completely get rid of you. Which is why I will be getting someone else to do that for me. She should be on her way soon. Sweet dreams, Vivian Booras."

Estelle's POV:

As soon as I open the door, the first face I see is my grandmother's. "I'm here, happy? Now let my friends go. We can do this alone."

"Of course, soon. I am waiting for someone else."

"Who?"

*Knock Knock*

Florence opens the door, I've never seen this person before in my whole entire life. She has brown hair, green eyes, and she just stood there. Smiling at us both, "Hi, we haven't met before, have we?"

"No. We haven't. And maybe it's because I'm way too busy trying to save my friends, and I'm wasting my time talking to you."

She shrugs and says, "My name is Julianna, but people call me Julia."

"Great. Now, are you going to help me get my friends out or are we just going to stand here all day."

She laughs, "And I'm a vampire. Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

I sigh, "I'm Estelle."

"Better. Your grandmother sent me here to.. talk to your friends."

"You aren't with us, aren't you? You're on my grandmothers side, right?"

"Listen, I'm on nobodies side. I just came here to pick up what's mine."

"Excuse me?"

"Vivian Booras and Serenity Petrakis. I've tried Gypsy blood before, I wonder how fairy blood tastes like. Don't you?"
