Destiny

CHAPTER 13

He led her into a queer room, hidden behind shelves in his study. The place looked ancient but in a  modern kind of way, and send a rush of excitement through her, she looked around in awe,  she picked a book , it certainly looked weird, she opened it to find strange writings, but surprisingly she seemed to comprehend it,she opened another to realise, the words wrote by themselves, it was as if the book was talking to her , she dropped the book in shock, Ethan chuckled lightly.

There were plants there too,  but not like the usual ones, they were actually more of herbs than anything, she looked at him curious
" They are just for enchantments, spells, potions, you know-those sort of stuff, they can be used for domestic purposes too, but i mostly use them for medication" Ethan explained

" Medication? , you treat people in this school?" she asked astounded

"No , no, its just-i just, well the demons hurt me a lot, I most use them to treat myself after those encounters"

" But you are a witch too, why not make something to guard against them, a protection spell or something, such things exist too don't they? " she asked flustered

He nodded sadly
" Yeah i have , but those spells weren't strong enough to ward them off, at least it managed to keep me alive, but right now I'm not sure for how long"

A horrified look crawled unto her face
" You think they'll be back?" she asked almost in a whisper

He nodded
" There's no way they wont be, they are really angry this time, they want me dead" he confided

Freya now looked white, her mouth dry
" Let me help you" she decided

Ethan shook his head,
" No Frey, I don't want you involved in this"

" But i want to, and I'm going to, I'm not just going to watch you die,you know, while i might have been able to prevent it in a way" she said firmly

Ethan knew by the look on her face, there was no stopping her

"Fine" he decided

She stood aside as he set up, to help him they had to do a spell, a very strong one, she wasn't sure about it all yet but,  there was Ethan, she trusted Ethan.

Ethan got the candles ready, after he plucked a weird mixture of herbs , which he pounded , all the while chanting. Pouring it into a cup, he finished the arrangement and called her into the circle. He he handed the strange liquid to her, she looked at the stuff, then back at him, he nodded encouragingly, she took a few sips before finishing the rest in a gulp, her face showed no sign of enjoying it in any way.

She handed him the cup, which he put away, after which he took her hands, holding on tightly, he began to chant. It didn't take too long for everything to change, she was suddenly in a strange setting, Ethan nowhere to be found, she called out to him until they appeared, the demons, oblivious of what to do, she looked around again, there was now a cage, one she could swear wasn't there before, but she stopped the questions from flooding her mind, her task was now set. It was one hell of a fight, at first they tried to kill her, when they realised they couldn't, they tried running. It took a while but she got them in, locked and sealed, it seemed they'd be staying there for a while, unless Ethan wanted to play with them.

Ethan pulled her out of the trance, she'd gotten so hot , he almost let go, but letting go would break the bond, ruining the spell, he held on until the end, she was doing it for him anyway, that was the least he could do. It kind of annoyed him a little that she'd just put them in a cage where they could be released if anything was to go wrong, she should have burnt them or something, but he couldn't really complain, he was grateful after all. The girl was useful, very very, he almost let himself imagine the things he could cagoule her into doing, he shivered in excitement at the thought of what he could do when he got her powers for himself, he was almost there now, he was almost there.
