Hiding In Plain Sight

A Lot Will Happen Tonight

Eden rubbed her perfume coated pointer finger on neck as she looked at her dress in the mirror."What do you think?" Eden asked poor Linda who was tied to a chair in her room. Linda strung incantations together like pearls on a necklace but the special ropes that bound her neutralised her magic. 

"What is it that you desire of me?! Just end me quickly." Linda begged but Eden played dumb and continued to check out her dress.

"You would love that wouldn't you? For me to end you quickly so you won't feel anything for what you did to your sister? But that's where you're wrong Linda cause if both of you die she will be waiting on the other side with other Bennett witches and I heard they don't take kindly to traitors." Eden gave the revelation causing Linda thrash around trying to break free. "Don't worry love I won't kill you ............but rest assured you traitorous little bitch. Once your sisters have tasted my malice, you will choke on it."

Bastian walked in with a bowl and a puppet. He then proceeded to drain some of Linda's blood ,after cutting her, into the bowl while Eden took a lock of the Bennett witch's hair pasted it on the puppet's head with candle wax, dipped it in the bowl of blood then gave Bastian to drink.
Bastian's body began to disfigure as his body tried to take on Linda's appearance. After a few minutes he was an exact replica of Linda. "Why does he look like me?" Linda questioned.

"So he can bring out your sisters and then................kill them." Eden informed. "They're not stupid, they won't fall for it! And Patricia will die unless you're willing to expose yourself." Linda smirked, she thought she'd won the battle but Eden had already thought three steps ahead of her.
"................You know my cousin was so skilled in spells he actually figured how to create them. He created this spell to prepare another's body to act as vessel for another's soul, for instance Patricia's soul." Eden smiled. "No you can't! Just kill me!!" Linda screamed.

Eden cut herself and smeared her blood on Linda's face "Carama Sae Au." Linda's eyes rolled back as she sat there unconscious just waiting for Patricia's spirit to occupy her body. "Bastian did you let him out?" Eden asked to which Bastian nodded. "Then go find the sisters and I'll be waiting for the both of you at the celebration." she ordered and started her journey to the castle.

Eden was now at the party, there were lights everywhere, dancing, laughing, food and music. Eden wished Dante was here to enjoy it with her but it wasn't to be so she went around socializing, she spent most of her time talking with Magistrate Hale who had the most interesting opinions on witches and where they come from. They danced and laughed till Rafael came in the picture making the magistrate lie to give them a little alone time.

"You look beautiful." he complimented earning a bright blush from Eden. Eden didn't like when she blushed she thought it was something only teenagers did. 

"Thank you." They were silent for a while before Eden decided to make conversation. "So where's the witch?" Eden mused.

"She's tied up in The King's study and when the full moon is high enough she will be publicly executed." He smiled and Eden wondered why she was so taken with him, he was a witch killer after all. "The other day when you asked about werewolves I forgot some information on them but you probably lost interest them by now."

"No no by all means lay the knowledge on me." Eden said taking another drink from a waitress. "Well a werewolf's bloodlust is at it's peak on a full moon so they lose control and slaughter everything, that is if they don't have control." Rafael informed. The Dumonts have been here since they were boys and no one has been slaughter so Eden just assumed they were in control of themselves.
