My eyes, attached to Father Blackwood, my main focus.
He turned around slowly, reaching eye contact with my pointed, determined, piercing blue eyes. "Welcome, Daughters of Night." He said no emotion latched on to his voice as he spoke. I heard a small sigh come from beside me, Sabrinas breathe shortening.
"Who presents these children for unholy baptism?" He said, loud and clear. "We do, your Excellency." I heard the simultaneous voices of Aunties. The slight whisper of Aunt Zelda angry "Late for you own baptism, honestly." I fisted my hands angry of her anger, I had things to do jhhhheee. "You look lovely, my darlings." Aunt Hilda's more happy tone made Sabrinas breathing resort back to normal making me release a breathe I didn't know I was holding.
"Disrobe them, sisters." Father Blackwood stated in his still monotone voice. Aunt Zelda approached my back undoing the delicate matte black buttons keeping my dress together. I took of each of my chunky pale black heels. The dress dropped to the ground, and my black, lace slip dress was revealed. The thin, silk material only reaching down to my mid thigh was no match for the devilish winds, patrolling the demonic woods. I climbed over the puffy dress, which lay on the floor with my bare feet touching the leaves attached to the dirt filled floor.
"We are gathered here together, in these woods, in the presence of our Dark Lord, with all the souls, the living and the dead, of our coven: The Most Unholy Church of Night." He paused. "Kneel, child." He spoke looking between me then to Sabrina.
I took my cold knees to the floor, and in return so did Sabrina. Father Blackwood reached back towards a chalice filled with a dark, crimson substance, Blood. With his long pale, nail he dipped his thumb into the liquid bringing it to my forehead then too Sabrina's. "Our Dark Lord teached us. There is no law beyond. Do what thou wilt. Our Dark Lord asks: Would you like to be happy, child, to be free? Free to love and to hate? To be what nature meant you to be, true to her laws and yourself only?" Father Blackwood stared me in the eyes before I answered, clearly, confidently and loud. "Yes Father."
He turned is head towards Sabrina asking the same questions, " Blackwood asked in the same tone, a pause was emitted, before Aunt Zelda knocked Sabrina out of whatever faze she was in. "Yes, Father."
His pale features looked to me again, "Do you believe in Lucifer, the archangel, who preferred the loss of Heaven to that of his pride?" Yes, Father." I answered quickly. "In exchange for his belief, you shall be granted powers that will enable you to be of service to the Dark Lord. Scarlett Edwarnia Spellman are you willing to forsake the Path of Light and follow the Path of Night wherever it may lead you?"
"I am." I answer proudly and sure.
He turns towards Sabrina and asks her the same question, which leads to her answering a quiet, "I am." and when questioned again she stuttered the words out a long pause taken in-between two simple words.
"Then it is time to sign his book." A smirk added to his pale face. A flash of lightning helping strike the deal. He lets down his pale, twig like hands letting us come up walking towards the book. The book was in eye sight, many names hand written across the old, ageing pages. The bonish pen, alluring me to the pages.
He wrapped his large hand around my thin wrists, rose a knife to my warm palms, and blood dripped as the wound opened, I let out a squirm which succumb to a smirk after. The same happened to Sabrina our blood being reached to the page and the thick drops falling to the page.
He looked towards Sabrina first, this time. "In signing his book, the Book of the Beast, you swear to obey without question any order you may receive from the Dark Lord, or from any figure he has placed in authority over you." His words picked up at the end. "That's not what you said before." My eyes widened at my sisters words, oh no. "In signing his book, the Book of the Beast, you swear to give your min, body, and soul unreservedly to the furtherance of the designs of our Lord Satan." He carried on. I look to my sister opening my mouth ready to agree. But no words came out as my sister started to panic. "You said I would have free will", a tear falling as Father Blackwood took her hand guiding her to sign. Come on Sabrina I thought in my head she's got this!
She through the pen out of her and his hand. I sagged my head, looking to the floor, now giving her the 'are you serious look' even though she blanked it. "I cant do this." She stated as she started backing away. "Sabrina don't you dare." Zelda's cruel, cold voice sternly told her. "Darling?" Hilda asked more then said scared and worried. Sabrina looked at me with pleading and sorrowful eyes.
"Im sorry, Aunties. Scarlett." She nodded letting a tear fall as she set of running into the words with her bare feet. As soon as I heard the cold angry words escape his mouth "Get her." "FUCKK!" I Shouted before shouting a curse creating a ring of fire around the cult as I ran after my sister, wow I really have a thing for fire I thought as I ran towards my sister dressed in her white smock.
I caught up only to be dripped by the arch way which once led us here only now for it to capture us. "Well got myself in this one, well technically you did." I said struggling under the grasp of the veins scratching against my skin. I crawled pushing all my strength forward trying to escape and I finally did helping Sabrina as well only to shout a brisk "RUN!" before she could thank me.
"Ambrose! Ambrose!" I shouted scared for my life, little bit excited. "Scarlett?!" Ambrose questioned. "Ambrose!" Sabrina cried out. "Sabrina?!" Ambrose called out louder, his face full of shock, and fright. "Ambrose you wont believe what my nights been like, I fricken tricked over a branch how weird right? And you'll never guess wha-" I was interrupted before finishing my sentence "I can guess, cousin. Umm behind you!" He shouted out. Pointing behind us with even more fright on his face.
"While the blood moon still shines, you must sign the Book of the Beast." Blackwood lured. "Yeah, fine by me!" I answered smiling. "I will not." Sabrinas stern voice shouted. "Or not!" I finished dropping my smile.
"There is another path for me, just as there was for my father and mother. A third way. And even if there isn't my name is Sabrina Spellman, and I will not sign it away!" Sabrina lectured shouting her point a cross. "Yeahhh what she said!" I shouted adding on. Making Sabrina turn around to me and smile.
Slamming the book closed and approaching the house. "Girls." Father Blackwood said sternly looking towards the weird sisters before Ambrose face shifted. Pointing again. "A circle of protection rings this house! And no witch save a Spellman may cross it. Any unwelcome witch that tries shall burn! So please go ahead." Ambrose shouting wailing his arms about. "Hey burning people it my thing." I smirked staring at the weird sisters who had come to an abrupt stop from Ambrose's words.
Blackwood raised his eyebrow at the words before walking away with the coven following. Ambrose sighed shaking and Sabrina turned towards him asking "When did you put a protection on the house?" Sabrina asked cautious. "I didn't. Though I should probably start, hmm?" Ambrose was in complete shock scared raising his hand up to his forehead dropping it and turning around walking away, a long with Aunties who held no expression, Aunt Zelda walked straight through us.
