Dark Desires

Chapter 15

Flashing white lights. High pitched ringing noises. Pain everywhere. And his face. The boy wonders face.

"Your going to die."

He said it so plainly. Almost like he knew your future. Like he knew the future. You couldn't see anything but you knew he was still there, looking to see what you did next. You couldn't show him your full power but you needed out of that place. you still had no idea what you were doing, but with the little practice you have gotten everything else pretty much falls into place. Every spell is based around the basic spells and hand motions and so on. All you had to do was not think. Though that didn't turn out well last time. You thought about what would happen if you shot your hands forward with tons of power. It had to almost be like throwing someone across the room. When you just flick your hand that happens, but escaping something like this takes more power. You shot your hands forward and the power was almost radiating off of you. You could see it it was a neon blue color. "Leave me alone!" you yelle. You shot your hands out again. The color changes this time. It was neon blue now it was neon pink. "I don't know what I did to deserve this!" You screamed at him. You shot your hands out again for the third time. This time the color wasn't blue or pink but it was bright red. Fire truck red. You felt the hold of this place lessen. You shot your hands out again and again until you for certain that only one more time would break the whole place and you would be free for now. The hold of this place was very weak and about to break when he appeared again. "I may die, but i will protect those that I love." You said before shooting your hands out one last time.

The room disappeared, but the pain didn't. The high pitched ringing didn't. "Oh my god." You heard someone say. "Go get Cordelia and Myrtle right now!" It was Mallory. "AHHHHH!" You screamed. "Don't touch yourself you will burn." She said. "You have power radiating off of you. If you try and touch yourself you will quite literally explode." She said. "What happened?" You heard a new voice ask. You knew right away it was Cordelia. "I don't know." Mallory said you voice fading. Like she was walking away. "Myrtle what do we do?" Cordelia asked. "There is a spell, but you can't do it." Myrtle said. "What? Why can't I do it?" Cordelia retaliated. "It needs to be someone she doesn't know personally and I think make out sessions count as getting personal." You heard someone get slapped. "That was uncalled for and you will not talk to your supreme that way. Ever." You heard her say. "Coco!" She screamed. You hear the door open once again. "We need you to do a spell. If your not up to it I have other girls, but you are the only person she doesn't know yet." YOu heard coc pause as she walked into the room. "Guide me and I will do it." She said.

They guided her through the whole process and you felt your body start to relax. Your power calming. You felt your power come back into you. You felt the burning pain in your hands reduce to mild pain because of the burnes. "I am going to wrap her hands and let them heal." Cordelia said. "The men have called the council again." Myrtle said. "Damn it. Okay I will have Sally watch her." Cordelia said. "Does anyone know where Sally is?!" Cordelia called. "She is gone. Sally left. What is (Y/N) going to do? She is going to freak when she wakes up." Cordelia said. "We won't be here to find out. Just put her in your bed and lets go. We don't have time for this. We have to leave. Mallory will watch her." Myrtle said to Cordelia as she walked out of the room. "I will find Sally. I promise." Cordelia said before kissing your forehead and leaving.

You just laid there. You didn't know how much time has past since Cordelia and the rest of the council had left. All you knew was that every so often Mallory would come into Cordelia's room and put a washcloth on your forehead or reposition your body so you wouldn't be as stiff when you woke up. She was really a gift from god. More than anyone really knew. One night as you were lying there still unconscious, you were pulled from your conscious into your subconscious.

"I am your father. Yes I know I am not what you were thinking. You thought God would be white right? Yeah no. God is black. God knows all forms of magic as well. I know voodoo, witch, and medium. There are thousands of other types of magic out in the world as well, but that isn't why I am here. I am here to tell you that you are the next supreme, but you need to make everyone think it's Mallory. Yes she had unmistakable power, but you my dear child are ten times stronger than her. You will be the one that destroys the spawn of satan, but you need to make sure no matter what that people think it is mallory and not you. You will give your power to Mallory when the time comes because you will save the world while she kills the devil. I think your job is ten times bigger. You will kill satan himself while she kills satan's son." And with that your father left. Your father was god. Could your life get any weirder.

"I'm apoplectic."Myrtle said walking into Cordelia's room with her. "Yes, you mentioned that on the flight back. More than once." Cordelia answered her. "And you never furnished a sufficient answer." Myrtle said walking over to the furnace.  "How could you agree to allow a male to attempt the Seven Wonders? You know the Alpha is a child's tale, a lullaby impotent men tell flaccid little boys to make them believe one day they'll be something special. Time and time again, history has shown the hubris of men knows no bounds. Have we learned nothing from Attila the Hun, Herod the Great, Mark Zuckerberg? Men make terrible leaders." Myrtle said to Cordelia.  "I've seen what's ahead. Carnage. The end of the world. My girls dead. I'm scared, Myrtle. What if it's my hubris, my inability to cede my position to this boy that leads us down this dark path? I will not put my own selfish desires before the coven.I am not my mother." Cordelia said wiping her face and taking the clothes out of her bag.  "Let Fiona teach us one thing. Passing the Seven Wonders does not inherently mean one is fit to lead the coven." Myrtle said scoffing and turning to face Cordelia.  "There will come a day when I will have to identify my successor." Cordelia said walking over to the chair in the corner of the room and sitting it.  "When that day comes, cast your net wide. You, yourself were overlooked. No one even imagined that you would emerge until your power was undeniable. There's powerful magic within these very walls, my child. Our own Mallory, just one example. I was out with some of the girls, gathering herbs for a ratatouille, and she evidenced something most extraordinary. Mallory did not just heal the wounds. She undid them. It was unlike any magic I had ever seen."  Myrtle said walking over to Cordelia. "It was Langdon who brought Queenie back. You cannot deny his power." Cordelia answered Myrtle.  "Why are you so eager to affirm it? All I ask is that you delay the test, give another Delia time to blossom." Myrtle said now standing in front of Cordelia. This entire time during this conversation you were awake your eyes open, just no one noticed.  "There is no time. I'm fading." Cordelia said another tear escaping her eyes. "Nonsense. You've just been overstressed, my dear. Nothing a little Centrum Silver couldn't cure." Myrtle tried to deny it all she could. She didn't want Cordelia to fade this fast. "My powers are leaving me. I've been growing weaker. I feel it. I'm dying." Your breath hitched in your throat. "My poor dear. My sweet girl. You've only just reached your prime."

You sat up in the bed. "Delia?" You called. They looked over at you. "Your dying?" You asked very confused and sad. "Miss Cordelia?" Mallory called with soft knocking on the door. "Yes, Mallory?" Cordelia called out.  "I'm sorry to interrupt. The new girls are I guess, the old girls, they're settled." Mallory said to Delia. "Oh you're awake. Good." She said leaving the room. "Thank you Mallory." Delia called. "Yes. I am dying and there isn't a point in hiding it. A new supreme will rise soon and they will take ahold of the coven." She said a tear falling down her cheek.

     You wanted to tell her so bad that it was you. You wanted her to know that you were slowly killing her. You hated this. But you had to make them all believe it was Mallory. You had to save the world. But your were destroying yourself in the process.
