Cherry and the Twitches

chapter 12

Back in Coventry...

Alex was trying to run out of the door and get out of this place.

"Alex, slow down!" Patch called out.

"Alex, where are you going?" Atticus asked.

"Oh, come on, how can that place not be magical?" Patch asked.

"He's right, how could it not be magical?" Camyrn asked.

"We were all there!" Mo added, opening the door to show her for herself. "Karsh, Ileane, come out! Remember we--" she then looked inside to see a bunch of clothes and it was like a normal closet.

"They promised..." Camryn lowly whispered.

Alex noticed something. "Look!" she rushed to the corner of the room to certain pictures Camryn had on her walls. "This is why it seems so familiar!"

"Wow, Camryn truly has the gift of sight." Patch said.

"I drew these two or three years ago," Camryn looked to her pictures. "I wonder if all of these are of Coventry?"

Alex looked horrified of some images. "Let's hope not." she said lowly.

"I swear, you are the only person in the whole world who can make finding a twin and discovering magical powers negative." Camryn shook her head.

"Nah, I think Cherry could beat that." Atticus commented.

Cherry then shoved him slightly.

"What? It's true." Atticus said.

"He's right." Patch said.

"I'm sorry, but knowing that it's real, seeing it," Alex continued. "l never imagined that this is what it looked like."

"Alex, come on..." Camryn sighed.

"If what I wrote is true, then our father didn't just die the day we were born..." Alex continued. "He was killed... Trying to protect us."

"Oh, dear...." Patch said.

"Us?" Camryn wondered. "Who would want to harm us?"

Alex looked to one picture and saw a frightening shadow figure.

"The Darkness..." Cherry, Atticus, Mo, and Patch whispered.

"Hey, girls, why don't we get out of here and get a bite to eat?" Atticus suggested.

"Now that you mention it, I am a little hungry..." Camryn held her stomach then after it growled a little.

"I guess we're all a little hungry." Alex smiled.

Alex was still unsure about this twin witch thing, but she agreed to get some food with the others.

Unfortunately, in the Barnes house, the Darkness was starting to spread.

"I'll be right with you guys." Cherry said before going off. "Um, Camryn, where's the bathroom?"

"Down the hall, twelfth door on the right." Camryn informed.

Cherry nodded and went to go to the bathroom.

"I guess she must really need to use it." Atticus said.
