Billie looked in the mirror holding her head up with confidence. She knew she had this, there was no other way this could go down.

"Don't look so cocky Billie, you might not even get passed the first trial." Wendy said closing her book.

The girl rolled her eyes turning to the other brunette. Her eyes traveled up and down her body. "Oh please. Due continue, I would love to have a reason to burn you when I'm named supreme."

Wendy opened her mouth to fire back but the door to their room was swung open letting light in. "It's time girls. Are you ready?" A woman much older than them said.

Billie and Wendy walked out bumping shoulders. They walked down the stairs looking at other hopeful girls.

Smiles of enthusiasm plastered on their faces, until Lawrence walked in, the whole room went cold. She was bitter and mean, today she was obviously raging that someone else would take her crown.

It was about time, she was as old as they could get, everyone knew once the new supreme was sought Lawrence would die. That's just how it worked.

"Today, is a very special day. These 5 brave girls will put their lives on the line. They will commit to the 7 trials. 5 enter 1 rains as supreme. Let's all wish them luck." Lawrence spoke stepping aside.

"Pyrokinesis, control fire with your mind. Take control of the flame." Lawrence said walking around the table with the 5 young girls eyeing them like a predator would pray.

The girls stared at the candles each of them had that were placed across the table, out of their reach.

With ease all of them lit up, Billie added something extra. Dragging the whole stick towards her blowing it out giving Wendy a smirk.

"Divination the ability to receive knowledge through magic." Explained the supreme as she placed small object like beads on the wooden table after the candles were removed.

"Each of you will have your chance. We hid objects around, that belonged to previous leaders. Only we have knowledge of where they are hidden. You will tell us where it is with precise directions." She told them spilling the beads on the table looking up at the first girl.

They went, one by one. The last was Billie, all the girls staring at her hoping at least one girl would get knocked out of the competition.

Billie closed her eyes, both hands hovering over the beads taking a breath in. As lawrencium was about to speak, telling her the person she was assigned to the young witch spoke instead.

"Samantha Samon." Billie breathed out as Lawrence was taken a back. "Supreme before you, the object is her hair piece, warm on the day she was crowned. It's in the attic in a small box in the left corner." She stated opening her eyes. She always seemed to surprise them.
