Chapter 3: Witches
"We're witches," Faye told Chuck again as Adam and the rest of the coven went away.
"Wait," Chuck said, "Did I just hear you say, witches?"
Faye sighed, "Yes."
"Look, I think you're drunk," Dan said, "Or highly imaginative coz—"
"Can you just shut up?" Faye said, "You were asking me to tell you what's going on. Now I am."
"Wait…you're a witch?" Dan said.
"Now this sounds weirder." Chuck said.
"I'm a full-blooded witch," Faye said, "The original coven were hunted in 1682, and some of them, those who escaped, were forced to leave and move into a new town. In Crowhaven Road. In New Salem. Well, being a witch is passed on from generation to generation. It's in my blood. And also in theirs…Those people who just left. We're witches together."
"But how did that happen?" Chuck said.
"It just did," Faye said, "Like how you're just ordinary human beings."
"Chuck don't tell me—" Dan said but was interrupted by Chuck.
"Well, if you are, prove it."
"You really want me to, huh?" Faye rolled her eyes.
"Well if you are, then surely you can do magic."
Faye sighed, looked at Chuck's car, and concentrated. It was hard for her to do magic alone since they bounded the circle. She needed the coven, but she had to try. If Cassie could do it, why can't she, right?
Earth,andfire
Come close to us
Earth and fire
Bring my desire
Light and Dark
Bring it to fire
And then it happened. Chuck's Toyota Hybrid caught fire.
"Shit," Chuck muttered, "How did that—"
"You wanted that to happen, didn't you?" Faye said, a smirk on her face.
"Shit, shit, make it stop."
Faye laughed. People started to flock near them.
"Make it stop," Chuck whispered.
"Fine," Faye said, and whispered.
Sky and sea, keep harm from me
Make it rain unto thee
Sky and sea, keep fire away
To thee I shall say
Nothing was happening.
"Faye!" Chuck said, "The fire's getting big!"
"You wanted this to happen!" She said, but she was panic-stricken, as well.
"Well, do something!"
"What's going on?" A security guard said, "Let's call the firemen—"
But before he could, the fire has stopped.
"How did that happen?" A girl asked.
"That's so weird!"
"Okay, enough, enough, people, we'll inspect this and—"
Chuck looked at Faye. The three of them came to the car, and after a while, after the guard called some back-up, after they inspected the car, everyone were surprised.
"Everything's fine," A mechanic said, "That was weird…"
"Must be the weather…" Faye muttered.
"Yeah, well…"
"Okay, just call us if anything, maybe take a cab for now…"
"It's okay, thanks," Chuck said.
As soon as the people left, he and Dan looked at Faye.
"You really are something, huh?" Chuck said.
Faye just sighed.
"So why leave New Salem? Why come here where everything's crazy different?"
"Because I had to," She said, "There's evil in there. Real evil. And…and my friends…whom I can no longer call friends…think the same of me. You saw them. You heard what they said."
"Sorry," Chuck said.
"Chuck Bass saying sorry, wow…"
"Daniel,"
"Sorry."
"So," Faye said, "Is it all good now? Coz I just really wanna go home."
"Yeah,well…that's weird but…fine," Chuck said, "Come, we'll bring you home."
"No need."
"I insist."
Faye sighed, "Fine."
