Midnight: You Haven't Seen The Evil Yet

Chapter Forty-One

~Previously~

Midnight paced around in the baby's nursery planning, planning ways to become human. "A spell perhaps will do the trick." She muttered before teleporting into the library. As she did so she scanned the shelves lined with books. "Come on where are you?" She mumbled continuing to search the shelves. "Ah ha! There you are!" She cried pulling out a spell book, Midnight quickly threw it down onto a table. She flipped through the pages searching for a spell. The spell that would give her and her children, the best possible chance at having a normal life. She froze once she laid eyes on the right spell. She started to chant then began to question herself. "If I do this it'll benefit towards my children and I. But if I don't what will happen? What if I'll miss being a Brine? What am I saying?! Of course I won't miss it. Come on Midnight get it together. Just do the spell." She thought then sighed and began to focus, she had to put in her best effort. After all it would be the last time she would ever be able to use magic. Midnight then started to chant again this time she felt different. Maybe the spell was starting to work, but so quickly? She glanced up a mirror hanging on the wall. and saw her eyes. They were beginning to turn back to a dark brown color, a rush of excitement overcame her. Just one more sentence and she would be human. Then a sharp pain made itself known, Midnight immediately knew what it was. She began to panic. "Oh no. Please can't you wait a few more seconds? Or even a minute at the most?" She thought before screaming from another sharp pain. Ignoring it was what she decided to do and kept trying to chant. But the pain became more and more intense. To a point she could no longer bear it, and she was familiar with this pain. The last time she recalled experiencing it, was when she had her son. As much as she hated to admit it, it was now obvious that Willow was coming.

Abigail rushed down the hall with a look of panic; while she heard Midnight screaming from a room. She missed the last time her best friend went through this. And this time she would be by her best friend, no matter what. She was eager to do something else though she dared not tell a soul. Plus it was unlikely that it would work too. As she strolled into the room, the castle nurse and a few staff were gathered around the bed; busily getting everything ready. Abigail froze when she saw Midnight, she was sweating and looked like she was in a world of pain. "Midnight?" She said softly as Midnight turned her head to the side. "Yeah?" She answered back. "Are you going to be okay?" Abigail's lip quivered as if she were a terrified little girl again. Midnight let out a small laugh before replying with a nod of her head. "Yeah." She smiled and motioned for Abigail to come forward. "I know what you really want to do right now. Go get Zero back and get my son back." Abigail smiled a little. "Stop reading my thoughts." She said before laughing. "Are you sure you'll be okay I don't want to miss out again-" She started before Midnight cut her off. "Abigail I want my son back, as much as you want Zero back. Go." Abigail sighed with defeat before teleporting to Ivy's cave. Where she was greeted by Zero who's eyes were duller then usual. "Zero." She whispered as he continued staring at her, it was like he was a robot. No...It was like he was Ivy's puppet. Abigail stroked his cheek and sighed. "Well if isn't the little mob that cried human." Said Ivy who stepped out of the shadows. "One that's the worst insult anyone has ever tried to give me. Two I'd be very careful with what you say if I were you before you 'spontaneously' combust." Ivy tilted her head back and laughed. "What do you want child?" Abigail cleared her throat before replying. "I want Zero and Aaron back. And with the spells you put on them taken off." She stated with a blank look. Ivy then noticed the way Abigail was looking at Zero, she smirked before walking over and circling the Blaze girl. "Hm. Interesting but you must know it'll come with a price." "I know." Replied Abigail as Ivy continued to circle her. "So why do you want Zero back? For your friend Wolf right?" Ivy questioned. "Yeah Wolf misses him." She answered quickly. "Oh really?" "Mhm." "Or is it really because you miss him?" Said Ivy. "What?! No!" Cried Abigail who was blushing. "Yeah you do. You love him." "No I don't!" "Yes you do." "No I don't!" "Admit it! Or he and Aaron will be mine forever why is it that you want him back?!" Screamed Ivy. "BECAUSE I LOVE HIM!" Wailed Abigail. She had only a few seconds; to realize what she had just said, before she covered her mouth. She then dropped to her knees and began to cry, as the tears began to burn she screamed in pain. "Please. Let them go. I'll give you whatever you want. Just let them go!" Sobbed Abigail as Ivy kneeled to look her in the eyes. "Very well." She snapped her fingers and both boys fell to the ground. "T-Thank you." Stammered Abigail whose face was tear strained, and covered in deep cuts. "Don't thank me yet dear. It's time to discuss what I want from you now. I told you it would come with a price." Abigail paused before making eye contact with the witch. "What is it that you want from me then?" She whispered. Ivy grinned and stood up, she circled her once more to add a dramatic effect. "I want your pendant." She said as Abigail froze.
