Deadly Nightshade

Chapter Two

Tracey ran to the house were the sorcerer was picking some roots, and herbs for a potion. Tracey told the sorcerer about the pirates and the flower she found by the meditation rock.

"Tracey you need to be careful" the sorcerer explained "the flower means death,

You have to get rid of it before the magic as set into your destiny."

"I already did after I saw the pirate ship" the sorcerer heaved a giant sigh and gave a slight smile.

"That's good then you have at least 100 years before the actual death appears." Tracey was still in shock, was her destiny death? She pondered this in her mind as the sorcerer prepared the magic lesson for that afternoon.

"Do to the events this morning; I'll help answer your question and look in to your future" the sorcerer lay a square of pale blue cloth onto the floor of the kitchen table. In the middle, she placed a mixture of ash leaves, bay leaves, cinquefoil, heliotrope, holly, jasmine flowers, marigold flowers, mimosa, onion, and yarrow. She placed the bowl of mixture in Tracey's hands. Then, on a white piece of paper, she made Tracey briefly write and explain what she wanted to see in her future. When Tracey was done, She then placed the piece of paper in the bowl.

"Be wise and use what you learn to prepare you for the future!" the sorcerer warned. Take this bowl to the place you saw the flower and start to meditate. The ingredients in the bowl should help explain on what you should do next, for your future.

Sitting back on the rock felt unsettling, but she was curious to what the flower would ether bring her misfortune or something else. Tracey concentrated on the question she wrote on the piece of paper that lay in the bowl next to the rock. The aroma of the ingredients calmed her down as she concentrated harder on the future ahead. In her mind she saw a burning town and that was being attack by pirates, the image was hazy but she could see the captain clearly. He was indeed the same pirate who killed the sorcerer's husband five years ago.

Tracey woke up from a distant scream in the town, she was lying on the ground next to the bowl of mixture, and in the bowl was the question. The paper read "What can I do to change my death?" Tracy ran toward the town were the pirates were raiding everything, a tall man with a feather hat was standing with a mountain of gold was Hector Barbossa Captain of the Black Pearl.
