It seemed to Shady that Sam was behaving more like a stalker than someone with insecurity issues, but she wisely kept her peace, because she was determined not to offend Moni. Moni was the closest thing to a sister she’d ever had, and the fact that she was intensely attracted to her was just a bonus.
“You know what?” she said as if she’d just had a brilliant idea. “You should invite me for a sleepover in your brother’s room tonight. He’ll be out on a date… And we girls can have cocktails and some girl fun! I bet you are in need of a massage, Moni. You’ve had such a tense week. And I don’t know if you remember, but I havemagic hands!”
Moni turned to smile at Shady.
“That sounds perfect. How about nine pm? I’ll bring in some fruity beers and we can relax!”
“So how is your Vantablack Level I Course coming?” Shady asked Moni sometime later when they were both comfortably ensconced against a huge bank of damask pillows atop Moni’s comfortable mattress.
“Too slowly,” Moni said, flashing a grin. “And I have very mixed feelings… I had no idea how dark Vantablack is… I’m not a prude but I am surprised they allow Sophomores into such an advanced class! How is your Level II Vantablack Course going, by the way, Miss Advanced Magical Studies candidate?”
“I know what you mean about it being darker but that’s what I like about it,” Shady replied, swilling down her beer and thenemitting a small ladylike burp. “It’s exclusive, and different. And it often requires the practitioner to shed a few drops of blood... But, Moni, that’s why it is so much more powerful than other forms of Magic… That’s what makes it unique!”
“I know,” Moni said dreamily, starting to feel a buzz from her second beer. “And I wasn’t going to ask, but… Do you think you could teach me a few tricks from the advanced class? I don’t mean to take advantage of our friendship or make you feel uncomfortable… Please, feel free to say no!”
Shady turned to Moni, her perfect brow slightly buckled.
“If it were Broody my brother or even Luca asking I would have to sayno, she told her. “But I think you have a penchant for it, even agiftfor it… So I will sayyes, on one condition… I will only teach you Vantablack Magical Charms and Spells as youneedthem. I mean,reallyneed them! It is a heavy magic, and can backfire on you if you try to become proficient at it too quickly! Have you ever heard the story they tell about George Tinklemiss?”
Moni shook her head as she uncapped another bottle of fruity beer.
“Well, school legend has it, that he was at the top of the Vantablack advanced studies. He was a whiz at memorizing even the most complicated of spells and casting. Anyway,” she continued. “He got ahead of himself—some say he had memorized even the most arcane Egyptian papyrus scrolls from the House Of Books—well, that’s what the Egyptians called libraries and they just had scrolls up to the 17thcentury. Old George was fascinated by the discipline, and I also think drawn to the mystique and danger of Vantablack Magic, just as I am and you are, but he got ahead of himself when he started Casting to summon dark entities and trying to control them. They say he called one too many of them, lost control, and inadvertently unleashed an evil into the witching world that still exists in theRebel and Underground Covens.” She reached for Moni’s hand to grasp it.
“Iwillteach you some useful enchantments and spells, because I believe your brother’s abduction sounds like so many others that happen to our auspicious and highly gifted magical families, but you must be careful… If that was the case, they have undoubtedly figured out the fact that any casting by a pair of twins becomes more than twice as powerful… Moni, what if they let Sam return just to lure you back to wherever they were keeping him, so that they could have thepairof you?”
Moni returned Shady’s worried look and asked, “Whatever became of George Tinklemiss, Shady?”
“Oh, they found him face up and stone dead in the Refractory Practice Tower, an area they had set up in one of the towers away from the rest of the school for students to safely practice less manageable magic. Since his death, because they removed most of the more dangerous forms of magic from the curriculum, it is rarely used, and only with permission, however…” Shady slipped her hand into her cleavage and pulled out a copper colored key on a long silver chain.
“I happen to have a key to it! Why don’t we practice every evening right after supper! But in the meantime, let me share a secret that will vaporize any entity in its tracks. It takes three drops of your blood and you must cut yourself and be bleeding when you recite the Spell! Now pay attention, it could save your life someday!
Moni was great at memorizing spells, and good at Latin, so she quickly committed what Shady told her she had dubbed theLifesaver Spellto memory.
Facti sunt sicut pulvis malus unis
Pulvis moes in radium solis
Denigrati
Shady explained that, like many of the Spells and Incantations in Vantablack Magic, it was the shedding of her blood that gave it such tremendous power.
“Do you know what you are asking the Magiverse to do?” she asked Moni. “I know you won an award in the Witches Latin Tournament last year, it was mentioned in your write up in the Pitchfork Press as a newcomer to the Academy!”
“Basically, it says to smash my enemy to smithereens,” Moni said, nodding. “And don’t worry about the blood part. It’s not something I am used to doing but I have found that in a situation that calls for extreme measures, I do what I have to do!”
Afterward, after the impromptu tutoring session, Moni threw her arms around Shady in sheer gratitude, and soon the two young witches were kissing.
No words were spoken as they removed each other’s clothing because no words were necessary. Their very closeness and deep affection for each other granted permission for the mutual tactile exploration of each other’s bodies.
Moni moaned and grasped handfuls of Shady’s hair as she trailed her tongue down the center of Moni’s body and began lapping gently between her thighs.
Not wanting to be selfish, Moni gently moved into a sixty-nine position, so that she could give Shady similar pleasure. They rocked together for an interminable amount of time, and finally spent, fell asleep in each other’s arms.
Behind the slightly open door of a closet situated opposite the mattress they were lying on, a shadowed figure licked his lips as he finally stopped filming the video of Moni and Shady, usingthe cell that Moni had gifted him with, and then stealthily let himself out of the room.
He had someone to meet and someplace to be. He hadn’t canceled his date, just postponed it in anticipation of catching histwinand her best friend making love.
Sam had a wide and satisfied smile on his face as he made his way across campus to the Charms Café.
