Chapter 14: The Blair Witch Project

"What are they all doing here?" Blair asked as Chuck came into the loft with Faye, Adam, Cassie, Melissa and Jake.

"Yes, Daniel," Chuck said, "What's the emergency?"

"I'm sorry I have to do this, but…" Dan said, "Blair lost her baby."

"What do they have to do with this?" Blair asked.

"Just a minute," Dan said, and took a deep breath, "I think that…that Mr. Harmon has something to do with this."

"And who's this Mr. Harmon?" Blair asked. "Wait…isn't that the man Serena was talking about?"

"He's my father," Cassie said, "And Faye's."

"Wait…" Blair said, "You're the so-called witch, aren't you?" She looked at Faye.

"When are you actually gonna believe that we're witches? Didn't I perform magic in front of you before? Or would you want me to do so again?"

"Faye," Chuck muttered and shook his head.

Blair sighed, "Dan, really, what's this?"

"Don't you get it?" Dan said, "Blair, when you told me that you lost the baby, just like that, and that Serena was talking about getting on Mr. Harmon's side, I felt like…that's it. That must explain Serena's weird behavior—"

"This isn't about Serena," Blair said through gritted teeth.

"Just let me finish," Dan said and went on, "I mean, Serena, she's not like this. She has her own mind. And now it seems like all she says is what Mr. Harmon wants. So I thought, what if Mr. Harmon, Black John, whatever you call him, did this? What if he casted a curse on Blair? It's dangerous. We can't allow this to keep on happening."

"Daniel, this isn't a work of that…that Harmon person." Blair said angrily, "This is insane."

"Dan maybe right," Faye said, "Black John…he's very powerful. And I told you, remember? Where witches go, evil follows. He may have though that you're important to us—"

"She is to me." Chuck stated, and caught Blair's eye.

"See?" Faye went on, "Black John will do anything to ruin us. To get his evil circle. He may be controlling Serena's mind now."

"And Diana's," Jake said.

"No Diana's." Faye said.

"And how can you be so sure?" Jake said, "She wouldn't have been there if—"

"She has a choice, Jake," Faye said, "This is her choice. Diana's powerful."

"You didn't see her last night," Jake said, "She was scared."

"But she chose—"

"Enough," Cassie said, "Diana won't betray us that way. She may be going through stuff and…She had to do this."

"Oh my God," Faye said, "When will all of you stop protecting her? Sugarcoating things?"

"Faye," Cassie said.

"Evil is evil."

"Diana's not evil," Adam said, "I should know."

"Okay, enough!" Chuck said, "What we need now is a plan. To protect the ones we love," He looked at Blair.

"I'll talk to Diana," Adam said.

"She won't talk to you," Jake said, "She's not even answering my calls."

"She'll talk to me," Adam said.

"I'll come with you." Cassie said.

"No, it's dangerous," He said, holding her hand, "Just trust me with this."

"Maybe we should go get Serena," Melissa said.

"Good idea, she's probably at that Harmon's office…" Dan said, "But what do we do? I mean, if he's controlling her…"

"I have a Chalcedony Rose stone," Faye said, "I'll see what I can do."

"Thanks," Dan said.

"Come on, let's go," Faye said, "Jake, Cassie, just come with us."

Chuck then turned to Blair, "B, a minute?"

Blair just sighed and nodded her head.

Minutes later, Jake, Cassie, Faye, Melissa and Dan were on their way to the school to see if they can chuck out Serena. Adam, was too, to see Diana, and Chuck and Blair were left alone at the loft.

"I can't believe this," Blair said.

Chuck laughed, "Me too," He said, "But…it seems that now, this is what we have."

"Look at us. Me, a divorcee, you…with witches and all…I just…This wasn't meant to be our future."

"Maybe, it's not yet our future."

"Chuck,"

"I still love you, Blair."

"I've always loved you," She said, "But—"

"Sssh…" Chuck said, "Just…" And then he leaned on and kissed her. She was surprised, but she kissed him back. And then they smiled.
