Half Witch (Editing/Writing)

Chapter Eight

"Your room, Priscillia. So do you trust me?" Urvale said stroking my hair. I bit my lip and stared at my bedroom. It was now mine. The beautiful bedroom was now mine but I am in the hands of my enemies which was proven to be good. Hundreds of questions was lingering in my mind. If I agreed to work with Urvale and abandoned my friends, will the quest succeed? Can I trust Urvale? How do I channel the power of the phoenixes? Must I fight against my friends when they arrived?

"Child?"

Urvale's voice brought me back to reality. "So, child?"

"I believe you. I agree to stay with you."

"Perfect! You may have the day off today and tomorrow, Uncle Led shall train you. Please, dress up nicely. Wear only the clothes from your closet. Shoes too. You can't wear clothes like this here. The maids will laugh at you. Okay? Goodnight."

Urvale closed the door behind her. I sighed and sat on the bed. I hope Jason, Ron and Victoria is safe. Maybe when they reached here, I'll convince them to trust Urvale. I know that day will come. I laid my head on the pillow and closed my eyes. Since we left Witch Academy, I never had a good night's sleep before but now, I can.

"Priscillia was captured by two men! One is her uncle and the other was her uncle's friend!" I cried. Victoria's eyes widen. "What? No! That means our quest...and Priscillia...." She gasped and began crying.

"Don't cry. She'll be fine. Let's rest. We shall continue our journey tomorrow morning."

"Do you know where she is, Ron?"

"Yes." I said, patting her back. "Jason? Why are you staring at the woods? Don't you want to get some sleep?"

Jason shook his head and pressed his hand on his forehead. "I feel dizzy. Ever since that attack in the woods. Like something else was in my body, trying to break free. I also had visions. Do you know why I know Priscillia was going to be caught by those two?"

"By...a vision?" I guessed.

"Yes. You are right. I don't know why I had those visions. It's weird."

Victoria rubbed her eyes and sat up. "Do you know what attacked you when you are in the woods?"

"A...black thing. Large and shaped like a...human."

"A human? Black? Well, that's weird."

Jason sighed. "Another vision is coming." He doubled over and collapsed on the floor, breathing heavily. "Jason!" Victoria screamed.

"Now that Priscillia is in my hands, we could use her to unleash the power of the potions. But that potion Helen created could not be mimicked. She used some kind of magic to combine the ingredients together. I must further my studies about the origins of magic. Maybe I can find some valuble information there."

"Oueen Urvale, Priscillia was tricked into believing you, am I right?"

"Yes, Jake. She was foolish to believe me. But I could sense her distrust of me in her eyes. Do whatever you could to make her fully believe me. Then when the right time comes, we'll unleash the power of the potion. Ambracow potion. One that could destroy millions. No, the whole world!" Queen Urvale laughed.

Jake bowed. "I shall train her tomorrow."

"Yes, Jake. You must!"
