Chapter 1: Deyanira
The music was loudly pumping from the speakers breaking through the silence that invaded the entire Chamberlain Residence. Faye and Melissa were dancing around to the beat of the music in Faye's room.
"Let's go shopping" Melissa suggested plopping down on Faye's bed. Faye stopped dancing at those exact instants to take another sip of her drink.
"Let's go!" Faye declared grabbing her cellphone and wallet before going out the door not even bothering to wait for Melissa. Melissa rolled her eyes at her best friend's action before getting to her feet and going down the stairs.
"Took you long enough" Faye says checking herself out in the mirror, that was close to the doorway. Melissa kept walking down the stairs. Once Faye was done using the mirror she turned around to look at Melissa, who rolled her eyes once again, giving her keys to Faye with a simple 'Fine!' before heading out the door and into her car to go the mall.
The girls were walking around the mall heading towards a Victoria's Secret store because Faye wanted to buy a Pure Seduction fragrance, when a blonde girl bumped into Faye and spilled vanilla ice-cream all over her shirt. "What the hell is your problem, bitch?" Faye snapped at the girl looking down at her vanilla ice-cream covered shirt.
The girl giggled and that made Faye's blood boil, from her slightly raising anger. "Actually your circle is" she spat raising her hand and showing her palm to Melissa and Faye.
For a moment the girls felt as if time had stopped, there, in the palm of the girl's hand was the same mark that John Blackwell had. The Balcoin mark. They thought that the other four children that Blackwell had mentioned were coming were lies, since it has been two weeks since his death and nothing unusual had happened, until now.
"What happened? not so tough now are you?" the girl mocked grinning like a Cheshire cat. Melissa gripped Faye's arm tightly but trying to not let her fear show, but failing miserably. Faye gulped now was not the time to freak she needed to play the mean girl card if she wanted to get out of this one. They were at the mall surrounded by lots of people, she knew the girl wouldn't try to use any magic if she didn't want to attract too much attention to herself.
"Just because you have some stupid mark doesn't mean I'm afraid of you" Faye snapped crossing her arms in front of her chest, trying to swallow the lump in her throat. The blonde smirks when she sees Faye's action and laughter exploded from her mouth, sounding more wicked than normal laughs.
"W-what do you want?" Melissa says trying her best not to stutter. After noticing that Faye's mean girl card didn't work she needed to do something so she'll try to talk her way out of this after all is not like the blonde would use magic in public and risk exposure, right?
"Oh... we want many things, but at the moment we just want to find our father and get our sisters to join us. Now I'll give you two choices, and believe me I'm not one to give choices so you should be grateful for that. One; tell me where my father and sisters are. Two; keep quiet and I'll play target shooting with you. The choice is yours" The blonde bitch, as the other two girls have been mentally calling her, offered with an evil smirk.
The girls just stood there, completely frozen and not because the bitch, as they call her, was using magic on them. They didn't know what to do, they couldn't tell her that her sisters killed their father, but neither could they risk becoming the target for this girl to use them for target practice either.
target practice
The idea hit Faye, it was like someone had just slap her across the face. Of course that's it. Target Shooting. If the bitch wanted to play, they'd play. "Are you done, gaping like a fish out of water or what?" the blonde girl said getting irritated for not getting a quick answer like she had been hoping for.
She wanted an answer Faye would give her an answer. "You want answers, then you got to answer my question. What's your name, bitch?" Faye asks trying to avoid the subject of having to give answers to blondie over there. The girl rolled her eyes at the question, the girls were clearly getting to her nerves, and that's exactly what they were aiming for.
"The name's Deyanira, now would you answer the damn questions. Where is my father? and where are my sisters?" the girl said the last part through clenched teeth, obviously she was one step from losing her cool and that's all the girls need.
Melissa smirked having already caught up with her best friend's plan, she wasn't so scared now, if anything she felt slightly more confident. Short temper and dark magic weren't things that were suppose to be together, but here it was a dark witch with short temper named Deyanira and if they aren't mistaken maybe one of four other people who could want to kill them, for God knows what.
"Your father" Melissa said the word father like if she had just tasted something awfully sour, "is where he deserves to be. Your sisters are God knows where-" the short dark-haired young witch rolled her eyes as her friend cut her in, but she didn't dare interrupt Faye knowing full well that what she was about to say would probably piss Deyanira off even more, so she prepared herself for whatever ridiculous words were about to leave her friend's mouth.
"-she's right. Evil princess number two; left town two weeks ago and by now she's probably in South America, she did always say she wanted to visit Brazil" Faye lied the last part, but the only other person present right now besides her that knew that part was a complete lie was Mel, and she wasn't going to deny it either. "Your other sister, Evil Princess number one, I don't know where she is. Though probably having a chat with social services since she doesn't have any family anymore, since you know your father was reported dead sixteen years ago" she said flipping her hair back, acting all casual and cool.
Deyanira glared at Faye, obviously not pleased with her answer. Melissa was just standing there biting on her bottom lip, something that she does everything she feels nervous about something. "Liars..." Deyanira growled, her eyes locked tightly on them both. Faye gulped.
"Big mistake" the girl hissed sending Melissa and Faye both flying into the nearest wall.
Everything seem to be on pause as the girls hit the wall. Every person around them stopped dead in their tracks, eyes locked on one person and one person only, Deyanira. The worst part is that she doesn't seem to care about it.
Deyanira raised her right hand pointing it at the girls, showing them her Balcoin mark. Faye's breath hitched, while Melissa started coughing, clearly the blonde wasn't playing anymore, as she increases the pressure keeping both girls flat against the wall.
Small cracking sounds echoed from behind them but neither one of them was sure if they were coming from the wall or of them. Melissa's coughs started becoming more violent and that's when Faye realised what Deyanira was doing, she was choking her, the bitch was actually planning on killing them, but why only choke Melissa and not both of them?
I'm so going to kill this bitch, Faye thought, closing her eyes and concentrating on a way to free herself enough to use her magic against Deyanira. As soon as Faye felt a little of the pressure lighten she said, "Burning star, blood-red eye" and smirk as Deyanira started closing her eyes losing her concentration on the spell keeping them against the wall.
"Burning star, blood-red eye" Faye repeated taking a step forward, since Deyanira was too involved rubbing her eyes to see her. Taking the opportunity Faye said the spell once more and went to Melissa's side. Melissa was kneeled with a hand covering her mouth as she coughed.
"Breathe" Faye said touching Melissa's arm, and just like that the girl stopped coughing. Melissa thanked Faye getting to her feet.
"We got quite an audience, what are we going to do with them? or her? that spell doesn't lasts long" Melissa indicated looking over at Deyanira, who was still rubbing her eyes trying to make the burning sensation go away.
"I know a spell to freeze time, but we need something to make them forget what they've seen. We don't want people going around calling us witches. Now can I burn this bitch alive?" Faye says the last part through clenched teeth. Nobody messes with her friends, except for her.
"We can't risk it, now help me before your spell wears off" Melissa said grabbing Faye's hand in hers. Faye gave her a nod. "People around here, hear my call. Forget what you've seen here, and move on" Melissa said alone, the first time.
"People around here, hear my call. Forget what you've seen here, and move on" Faye's voice echoed and Melissa joined in. "People around here, hear my call. Forget what you've seen here, and move on" both girls said in unison. Neither one of them knew if the spell had worked already or not so they decided to say it again, for the benefit of the doubt.
"Let's get out of here" Melissa commented looking over at the door.
Faye shook her head to clear her thoughts, they couldn't just leave and risk been seen by Deyanira, who was still rubbing her eyes. Wow that spell is lasting, Faye thought, "I agree with you, but I don't want to risk been seen leaving by Evil Princess number three" she said smirking at Deyanira's new nickname.
"fog?" Melissa suggested turning her head to look at Faye, who gave her a nod. The girl was about to say the spell when the realization hit her, "Hey, Faye? wasn't the whole point of doing the memory spell to make sure nobody remembers seeing us use our magic?" she wondered, eyeing her friend, who was just staring at the blonde girl, that kept rubbing her eyes.
"That spell doesn't last so long, right?" Faye asks eyeing Deyanira. A couple of moments ago she would've just ignored the fact that the girl kept rubbing her eyes, but come on, the girl's a witch. A dark witch in fact, and the spell wasn't so strong as to fry her eyes. "The bitch's faking it, isn't she?" she glanced at her best friend for reaffirmation. Melissa gave her a nod, and that's all Faye needed to confirm her suspicions.
"Still up for the plan?" Melissa asks her eyes locked still on Deyanira.
Faye nodded and grabbed her by the hand, "Water rise. Air flow. Temperature drop, and give me fog" she conjured, a dense cloud of fog started spreading across the entire area. The cloud of fog was so dense that they had to retreat against the wall in order to located themselves, luckily for them they had a good idea of where the door was.
They could clearly see the door now, just a few more steps and they could get out of this place away from Cassie's - and Diana's, they had to remembered themselves - crazy, psychopath sister, Deyanira. But just when they started think they were home-free, something pulled them back sending them crashing to the floor.
"Okay this is getting very annoying" Faye said irritated, getting back to her feet followed by Melissa.
"What do we do now? Deyanira is probably waiting for us to go running to the door so that she can attack us again" Melissa told her, her eyes flickering nervously all around the place, as if waiting for someone to come out and attack her. Faye sighed, placing a hand on her friend's shoulder, trying to bring her comfort.
It was times like this that Faye hated, she could act like a real bitch most of the time with everyone, sometimes even Melissa. But when any of her friends really needed her, she was there for them, no matter what and right now this was one of those moments.
"Try to relax, Mel. This bitch is probably just scaring into start throwing spells around, a good example for that theory is the fog" Faye said, her eyes also flickering around, when she noticed, "Mel? have you noticed that-" she didn't time to finish, when her friend cut her in.
"-it's been too quiet? Ever since she threw us against the wall" the shorter witch answered, moving to a crouching position, her light-brown eyes flickering from side to side. To say that the girl was nervous was an understatement. "Do you think that maybe she just wants us to run outside?" she wondered, her voice small, barely higher than a whisper.
"I wouldn't doubt it" the words flew out of Faye's mouth, the girl covered her mouth as soon as she caught up with what she just said. Damn it, way to go Faye, she metally scowled herself for that. Now is not the best time to negative, Faye reminded herself, when an idea pop in inside her head.
"How about a backup plan?" she suggested, glancing over at Melissa with a smirk.
