Raven

XII- Bethany

I walk through the forest and search for the stupid witches cottage.

I hope she can end my problem, my Raven problem. That stupid bitch has Tobias under a spell, I swear, but I'm gonna put him under a love spell of my very own.

I find the small cottage and knock forcefully on the door. From inside I can hear something being knocked over and a strain of cursing in another tongue.

The door swings open to reveal a tiny old lady that looks particularly deformed by the hunch on the back and the rough skin on the side of her face. Her long nose has hair on the tip and her one eye is sunken in a beady.

"What!" She screeches. "What do you want?!" Her horrid voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

"I was told to come to you about love potions," I say a smile on my face before I move my jacket to the side slightly to show a pouch full of coin tied to my hip.

"You came to the right place deary. Come inside but don't touch or drink anything." She says turning on her heel and scuffs further into the tiny shack she calls a cottage. 

I look around at all the things she has lying around. Pots collecting dust, books that haven't been read in decades maybe even centuries, bones litter the floor and they are all messed about to make it hard to defer which bones belong to which animal if there is even more than one animal. My nose crinkles in disgust and I can't help but choke on the smell of rotting flesh and something else I can't quite place but it's nasty nonetheless.

I keep following her till we get to an awfully narrow staircase that has cobwebs hanging down from the tiny roof that a foot shorter than I am. I crouch down and crawl forth on my hands and knees trying to avoid anything that was wet or too dead to be acceptable. 

Finally, we are down the staircase and a that has door awaits us. The witch opens the door and we enter the tall room and in the middle is a monster cauldron that takes up five feet in diameter and is almost taller than the witch.

"What's your name?" I ask.

"Hagetha." She croaks and walks towards the wall opposite to when we came in. The whole wall is full of shelves that are full of liquids of wild hues. Each jar is different than another and I don't know what is in any of them but then Hagetha starts grabbing liquids and pouring them into the pot.

It bubbles and broils and finally when Hagetha ladels it into a wine bottle so I know it will work.

Raven's P.O.V.

Ally and I made up and are really close now.  It's been forever since I've seen Tobias I think a couple months. I won't lie, the late bond is searing a hole right through me. I lie in bed next to Ally her arms are around me and mine around her as we watch some romantic movie she chose.

"Hey, are you okay?" Ally says untangling herself from me and sitting up.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I lie.

"No your not tell me what's wrong." She demands and I groan before rolling over so my face is in the pillow.

"No, I'm not telling you," I say but it's muffled by the pillow.

"It's it Tobias?" When she says his name I cringe into the pillow and whimper a bit.

"We are going to your old pack." Ally says smiling. "You and me."

She leaps off the bed and rushes around the room packing two bags of clothes and when she's done she takes that bags and leaves. I don't bother trying to protest as I know that she won't listen to any voice of reason. 

I hear the roar of my car and I get off the bed and head out after her.

She sits in the driver seat and I get in the passenger side. It's only after I put on my seatbelt does she speed off.

This is not going to be good.

Bethany's POV

It's easy to break him down and make him love me. It's easy to slip the potion into the bourbon he's been drowning in he doesn't even the strange taste of the potion. It's easy to convince him to do things, and it's even easier to wake up right where I want to.
