Hiding In Plain Sight

Traditional vs Cradle

Eden toiled through the night trying to find some of Dante's spells which she did but it was late so she didn't get enough sleep.

She and Bastian got dressed and ate the most delicious breakfast they ever had. Courtesy of Bastian. "Bastian when did you learn to cook?" Eden interrogated.

"I always knew how to cook but I have maids so I didn't think it was necessary." he answered. Eden knew it was a lie cause he was looking at the ground but she pushed it aside. She had more important things to do.

"Do we really need any of his spells." Bastian whined.

"Why so childish today?"

"Well his spells are never in English and the words are hard to pronounce plus we don't know how to use them." Bastian complained. "Bastian you're not going to do the spell, I am and the words aren't all that difficult. And he use to teach me how read or decipher his spells so don't worry love."

The married couple left their home to go pay the Bennetts a visit when they were stopped by Rafael and his brother Michael. Eden and Rafael flirted a bit while Sebastian and Michael talked about war tactics, hunting and all things bloody. The two seemed to have a lot in common and even planned to go hunting together sometimes. "Well boys we really should be on our way now. Bye." They bid each other farewell and went their separate ways.

After a minutes walk they were now standing in front The Bennett house. The door flew open before they could knock, the three smiling sisters greeted them and invited them to come in to have tea. They haven't seen each other for a while so they had a lot of catching up to do in terms of life and witchery. "So where is Patricia?" Bastian asked. Eden couldn't wait to hear the pathetic little lie they were going to tell.

"She went to New Salem for a while." Linda the mocha skinned one answered. Bastian snickered at their failed attempt to lie to the most bad ass witches in the kingdom. "Well that's funny cause people are saying that she's a witch and they're gonna kill her tonight in castle when the moon is at it's peak."

The room went silent for while till Carla the short chocolate skinned sister slayed the silence "You haven't touched your tea." Eden noticed she being quite pushy so she decided to ask what kind of tea it was to which they answered chamomile but Eden knew chamomile when she saw it and this definitely wasn't it.

"No I'm alright, I really don't like chamomile anyway." Eden refused politely. "It's really rude when guests refuse what their host has to offer." Carla snapped.

"You seem a little nervous Carla. Are you alright?" Bastian smirked. "No she's alright, she's just really sad that Patricia is gone." Linda answered.

"The next lie that crosses your lip will be the last you snake!" Eden threatened causing the sisters to gasp. "She knows the truth?! Invisique." Carla and Tiana disappeared immediately in fear of what the Countess might do to them, leaving their older sister Linda to pay.

"Yes I sold my sister out so I could steal her magic away when they captured her so you can't even fathom how strong I am dear Countess. If only 'Dante The Treacherous' were here maybe I would be scared but sadly he isn't so I suggest you leave before things get nasty love." Linda threatened ever so confidently earning a laugh from Bastian.

"You traditional witches always overestimate your magic." Eden giggled. "And no matter how strong you are....................." Eden disappeared then reappeared behind the chair Linda was seated in. "Just know I'm ten times stronger." Eden warned.

"Motus." Linda sent kitchen utensils Eden's way which Bastian stopped in mid air. "Vodus." she chanted sending Eden into the cupboard behind her before making a run for the door but Bastian created a seal on the door which threw her back into the hall.

"Phasmatos Morsinus Pyrox Allum." Linda said while getting off the floor. Bastian and Eden held their heads as the magic induced pain coursed through them. Linda ran towards to door and started her unsealing spell when Eden teleported behind her and bashed her head on the door knocking her out.

"Well what are you waiting for Bastian?! We have a celebration to attend."
