XVIIA. The Prophecy For The Damned

Author's POV

She swings by the shadows,unseen. Drifts from death to the living. Hangs on the other side, entrusting commands to her chosen ones. She carries hatred over that one person,that one so-called innocent. But she believes that this innocent will be an abdomination to her kind, supernaturals. But are her intentions only to save the supernaturals? Is Clymene trying to get Elizabeth out of her way just because to be the one in power?

And soon in the abandoned factory,all of her followers gathered for the ritual. It was really happening.

For Veronica,the unknown place had given her goosebumps and her heart was throbbing with fear. She could only feel but not see because of the black hood covering her face from the light.

She felt strong hands holding her back,she knew that she couldn't make a magic move,as her wrists were handcuffed with anti-magic runes attached on it.

"Where am I?", Veronica demanded.

No answer.

She could feel the shots of pain on her neck and her blood which half-dried.

Then,all of a sudden,she felt someone push her hard on the ground as she fell down hurting her knees badly. She growled in both anger and pain.

She knew why she was here,and she won't do it at any cost.

Still handcuffed,her black hood was removed by Jason,"You know why you are here."

The light flashed her eyes and she could barely see Jason's face.

"Torture me all you want, I will never free Clymene."

"Oh you will.",Jason rumpled the back the Veronica's head and brought her face close to his.

She spat on his face.

"You little bitch.",he rose his fangs to her but someone called out.

"You already hurt her bad. If you do something else, she would not be pleased.",an unknown guy called out to him. Without turning back,he left her.

Jason glared at her as Veronica glared back fearlessly.

"Bring her in.", Jason ordered.

'Bring who?', Veronica wondered.

Chained like a dog, came in Veronica's mother. The flesh wounds in her body still fresh.

"Mom?!", Ronnie's voice stood feeble.

"Now the question is do you want her to die a terrible terrible death or will you just follow our commands and do as we please?",Klaus came in.

She knew she couldn't trust him. She knew what would he had said if she'd asked him"How can I trust you." and he would end it with saying that simple slight answer"You don't."

Her mother wanted to say her something but she was too weak and injured to.

Now would she save her mother by releasing the darkest powers? Or would she save her best friend later on by not practising the spell?

She said,"I can't do it alone. I did it with my mother earlier. So I finish it with her."

"Not an exception. I'm afraid,we can't let her go to you. However when we will release you, you won't do anything stupid to save your mother because we already have a spell on her which only can be broken by other powerful witches. Do you get it now?",Klaus asked.

"You deserve to go to hell. All of you.",she said shedding tears.

"She said yes.", Jason flinched a smile.

"Hey this is Veronica! If you are not one of those guys I met last night,then don't hesitate to leave a message!"

"Ronnie is not picking up.",Betty said slamming the door shocking Jughead.

"Umm..so?"

Betty rolled her eyes,"Remember she was supposed to be with Cheryl and Jason."

"Where is Cheryl?"

"I don't know!"

"Don't worry. Maybe they went to get an ice cream."

"Talking with you doesn't help.",Betty exclaimed.

After leaving Jughead,she started to become very anxious and restless she had even informed Freya about them.

Freya said,"If the situation is worse then my tracking spell won't work. You are more stronger than I am. You do it."

"Ex cinere, non oriri. Si vocare te sumus in hoc mundo prorsus." ,she chanted while her voice cracked. 

 She didn't have any other choice. She thought to herself,"Am I being selfish?"

"Ex cinere, non oriri. Si vocare te sumus in hoc mundo prorsus."

She could hear her mother groaning in pain. She knew she wanted Veronica to save her. Blood was swarming out of the sides of Hermione's forehead which was prodded by an iron spike-like thing. She was barely standing by the support of some strangers or you can call them the capta est[taken]. 

But Hermione managed to stifle her words,"Don't."

And that's when Veronica knew,

She was being selfish.

But she continued,"Ex cinere, non oriri. Si vocare te sumus in hoc mundo prorsus."

She knew what were the consequences, nothing but something close to an apocalypse. But if she could save a life she would. Despite the results,she would.

The coffin-like box had began to shake tremendously and lights of the abandoned factory had been flickering. The whole place felt like a victim towards an earthquake.

"What the hell? Why would she be in an abandoned factory?",Archie asked.

If only he would have been a little smarter..

Betty got up and hurried outside,"I must go before I'm too late."

The coffin-like box's overlay shot up and Veronica could already see the black-smokey fumes gushing out if it.

She let out a spell of shedding tears and stiffened her hands and hit the floor while she sat on the support of her knees and blood still seaming out her wounded neck.

They had left Hermione to fall down unconscious to go see the result. They had found that the Clymene who was chained with all the runes engarded in it had was gone. As soon as possible,Veronica dragged her legs near her mother and rested her mother's face on her lap. Still crying.

Everything felt so silent.

"Veronica.",Betty called out.

Veronica looked up to see her oblivious face. She wished she could undo it all. She wished that nothing would have happened at all.

Betty's eyes looked so desperate at once,she was about to say something but then,she felt someone drive their hand inside her back,crumbling her ribs and going further near her heart.

Betty turned behind to see Clymene in the flesh with an evil smile,"Aren't you going to greet your aunt, Elizabeth?"

She looked back at Veronica with grave fear in her eyes,"What have you done?"
