"Constance?" Rocky tapped on the door, "Constance, are you there?"
When there was no reply, Rocky tried the door and was very surprised to find that it was unlocked. She pushed it open slightly, just enough to see that the room was empty.
"After my possessions now that you've won my soul?" A shiver ran down Rocky's spine as she heard the cold voice of Constance, who had just appeared behind her.
"Constance," she breathed, "I was- I just wanted to find you. You disappeared"
"I'm perfectly aware of that fact," she said with her usual lack of expression.
"Are you ok?"
"Perfectly fine." The taller witch spoke tersely. "Although you are in my way"
"Sorry," Rocky stepped to the side, "I am sorry, Constance, I know you're not happy about what I just did"
"Not happy?" Constance turned, "I'm absolutely furious with you!"
"I know. I shouldn't have put you on the line like that. I had no right."
"Then whatever possessed you to do it?"
"I- I just- I knew I could beat her, I'm not weak like she thought. It was my chance to get rid of her. I know what kind of witch she is and she challenged me because she didn't think I'd have a chance, but I knew I did... You never have to worry about her again, now Const-"
"And in defeating her, you've revealed yourself to be just as capable as her of such atrocious magic. Congratulations." She added the last word with heavily emphasised sarcasm.
"Constance," Rocky realised then why the spell she had used had evoked such anger, "I'm not like that; you know I would never use that under normal circumstances!"
"Unfortunately, it appears that I am uncertain as to what I do or do not know about you. She said you're hoping to be something that you're not, and that's exactly what the two of you have in comm-"
"Constance-"
"No. Do not insult me with your excuses!"
"I- Constance, please-"
"Just- Stay away from me!"
With that, Rocky was pushed magically from the room and the door swung shut in her face.
