coven ☠ calum

chapter seven

"Calum!!" i yell, finding him in the front door. I was actually about to hug him until I realized it would be awkward. I just never interacted with anyone outside the coven except him.

"You told me to be here.." he shrugs with his hands in his pockets

"Oh..yeah." i sigh. Am I actually gonna tell him?

"Well..?" he says impatiently.

"Alright. Be quiet. No one knows I invited you." i whisper, heading him up. I'm actually glad Mrs. Murphy isn't here. I was going to bring him to my room but then I remembered Thalia and Klair was there. But where else can I go? Janette goes around everywhere. Maybe Thalia and Klair would help explain anyways.

I did bring him to my room, making him sit on the bed to wait. I headed to the closet, ignoring Calum's reaction.

"Tha-" The closet was a mess. There were unfinished voodoo dolls everywhere, spilled materials and ripped pages. "What the fuck??"

"Nadine! I met your friend Thalia. " Klair grins. A devil grin.

"I see..." i trail off "What's going on?"

"It's the condition remember." Thalia pats me on the back.

"Wha? nevermind.Okay, Calum's outside, he's here to know what's going on. Should I tell him?"

"About voodoo??" Klair drops her jaw

"Uh I don't know? Could I?"

"Nadine, this is why we have a coven. If it wasn't for this we would've had a sorcery subject for public. Of course you should not tell anyone. What were you thinking?"

"Sorry, I just wanted to talk to him." i shrug

"Well then change the topic." she snaps and I leave

I found him sitting on the corner of the bed, looking down on his feet. What was he thinking? Janette would know. She could. He looked terribly sad and still injured.

"Hey." i smile

He smiles back shortly.

"How are you feelimg?" i ask. "Nevermind don't answer that."

"How come you still remember me?" he asks

"I've been stuck here all my life and when I met you.. you're the person I've ever talked to."

"Why can't you talk to anyone else? Why are you stuck here?" he says, obviously confused.

"It's a rule." i sigh

"Oh. Strict parents." he nods.

Yeah not actually "parents"

"Yeah I kinda feel the same. I got all the people to talk to but they don't wanna talk to me."

"Why not?" i furrow my eyebrows

He lets out a laugh, "You're lucky you've never experienced bullying or love."

"sounds dangerous..." i mumble

"Oh it is!" his eyes widens "You're so lucky!"

"Now you're all injured" i say, feeling guilty.

"No need to feel guilty. It isn't your fault." Oh what if it is

"I'll get you some.. uhm coffee or tea?"

"Coffee." he answers

"Right." i nod once "I'll be back."

-

We did have coffee and talked about our best and worst moments of our lives. I actually talked to someone about me. I've never done this to anyone even in this coven. But soon, I heard a doorbell, signaling Mrs. Murphy. She's home so soon??

"Calum you need to go." i panic

"Oh, your mom's home."

"You can't pass anywhere!" i start panicking even more, pacing left to right.

"Chill." he says and I stop, staring at him.

"What?"

"Relax. I'll just pass by your window."

"But you're injured!" i remind

"It's better to try." he starts going off.

What the fuck he's gonna kill himself. Is he actually sweious? Of course he is! He's already going outside of the window! fuck!

The voodoo doll.

I quickly went through my cabinet and found his voodoo. I don't even know how to use it. I'm controling his life.
I slighty moved it a bit to test it and it did. It freaked Calum right away.

"What the.." he blurts

"What?" i ask innocently

"Nothing." he shakes his head, making his way fully outside and I began controling him again, guiding him safely.

"Are you okay?" i watch through the window but secretly controlling him

"Y-yeah." he says and lands perfectly down.

"I'll see you soon?"

"Yeah." he smiles and waves then leaves.

I'm glad it worked. I'm glad I talked to someone. I'm glad we're friends. I'm glad he came and I'm glad he forget the main reason he came here.

"Nadine!!" I hear Mrs. Murphy knock loudly through the door "Is Thalia in there??"

"Y-Yeah." there was no point in lying.

I went through the closet and called Thalia out. Klair was asleep and so was she. I did wake her up and they both looked tired with all the voodoo.

"Nadine!!" Mrs. Murphy continues to knock

"What??" Thalia slurs, opening the door

"Come quickly." she panics "Janette's murdered."
