Chapter 15
AsonandIracetoward the library after leaving the Headmaster's office.
I’m still in disbelief that she is allowing me to be part of the secret mission to help save the students and the school.
Before we left, Headmaster Patricia handed us a paper that listed everything we needed to do to stop the curse. Without wasting any more time, Ason had taken my hand and we fled the office.
He had taken out his cell phone and texted something, but I didn’t ask what he was doing. I knew that in time, I would find out.
When we reached the library, we found a table in the very back of the room.
“What are we doing in here?” I ask, breathlessly.
“The rest of the team will be here shortly. I sent them a text in our group chat. We need to go over this list,” Ason explains.
The yellowed page sits in front of us. It is worn and ripped and appears to be hundreds of years old. The words are written in a faded black script that is difficult to decipher.
In a frenzy of excitement, I watch in awe as Candi, Kindle, Stella, and a guy named Leo enter the library. As they approach, their eyes grow large when they see me.
I can tell that the last thing they expected was to see me here, too.
“Wait, what is she doing here?” Stella asks, her fiery red eyes glowing in anger at me.
Ason stands moving so that he is between me and the rest of the group.
When I look at Candi, she glances away in shame. Even though I know now that she was sworn not to tell me, I hate that she held such a big secret from me.
“Farrah is a Seer, as you all now know. Her visions can lead us to where the potion is that we need to stop the Dark Magic Witch and end the curse over the forest. We need her help,” he explains.
I am grateful that he excludes the part about my demanding to be part of this plan or how he didn’t want to include me at first.
“She’s joining us?” Candi asks, slowly walking over to us. She sits in a chair next to me and I smile her way.
I don’t want any bad blood between us. We are friends and we will find a way to get through this.
Stella is fuming. I hadn’t seen her since the attack, and she doesn’t look any happier now than she did when she was storming toward me in dragon form.
“Does the Headmaster know about this?” Kindle asks, though her tone isn’t as nasty as Stella’s was.
Ason quickly explains everything to the group. They all nod and stare at me as he gets them updated.
“Why would you want to help us?” Stella asks, turning back to me again. “I mean, I get there is something going on between you two,” she says, gesturing between me and Ason, “but why would you want to risk your life? You didn’t know Lara or Lily.”
I hear sadness dripping from her words and I calm down, trying to find empathy for Stella. Even though she has been a raging, nasty monster to me, she, too, has lost a friend. Loss can tear us down and make us do and say things that we never once imagined.
Leo steps up next. His blonde hair is short and buzzed and his baby blue eyes sparkle as he goes to talk. “I’m not going to turn down any help. As a wizard, I know that my magic can help protect us, but we do need a Seer. The last group that had a successful Seer were the ones who saved the academy.”
I smile his way, happy to have someone else on my side.
Crossing her arms across her chest, Stella narrows her eyes at me. “Fine, I guess she can be useful. So, let’s get started,” she states, moving around me to sit in one of the chairs situated around the large table.
Everyone else follows suit and Ason sits close to me. He holds my hand while we all look over the page that the Headmaster gave us.
Ason reads it aloud, and we all listen intently. “To expel a potion created by evil, you must follow the instructions listed below. Only a handful of Witches and other Supernatural creatures have succeeded in stopping curses and wards meant to harm other Supernaturals. To gather the ingredients needed, you must visit a Gullah who will provide you with what you need. Next, you need the magic of good, and the skills of those who can quickly enter the woods.”
When he stops reading, I wait for others to interject.
“We know that the thorns on the flowers at the treeline are poisonous. Once we get the items needed to get inside of the forest, we have to know where to go,” Leo says.
