Chapter 21 Siblings.
Flashback 8:
Back when Winifred, Mary and Sarah were young children. The three are playing not too far away from their home in the forest. The three young Sanderson sisters are dancing around in the autumn leaves.
"This is fun." Mary giggled.
"Not as much as it used to be," Sarah complained.
"Then what do you want to do Sarah?" Winnie asks in a rather rude tone.
"Something fun magic," Sarah suggests.
"Alright if you say so sister," Winnie responds. Winnie then makes a hand gesture using her magic she throws Sarah across the ground.
"OW," Sarah whimpers.
"You're right Sarah using magic is fun," Winnie said with a smile. Sarah gets to her feet and looks at her elder sister Winifred annoyed.
"I want to play with magic. I didn't want to be thrown by it." Sarah replies.
"We're only playing Sarah, you won't even have a bruize," Mary spoke up not wanting a fight between Winnie and Sarah.
"Who said I was playing sis," Winnie said.
"Why are you so mean to me, Winnie?" Sarah questions.
"This isn't me being mean. How do you expect to be taken seriously as a Sanderson witch if you're so pathetically sensitive." Winnie responded.
"I am not sensitive." Sarah snapped.
"Oh, please Sarah, you're lucky you get to be around us. You only live with us because mother couldn't bear to have a Sanderson witch even a pathetic one like you with your true father the town priest." Winifred snarls. Mary wouldn't stand up for Sarah it wasn't worth getting into a fight with Winifred. Winifred can be cruel to her sisters.
"She doesn't love any of us, all she cares about is power," Sarah says.
"I've had enough of your complaining. I've had enough of people saying you're beautiful that your looks are like no other. Let's see how people will like you when you have teeth belonging to a horse." Winifred shouts before firing a dark spell at Sarah aiming for her mouth. Sarah relying on instinct conjures an enchanted hand mirror which she holds in front of her face. When Winifred's spell hits the mirror it is deflected and hits Winifred! Green smokes come and goes and once it clears both Mary and Sarah are shocked at what has happened to Winifred, the mirror was only supposed to deflect the spell, forcing Winifred's body to absorb the spell. Instead, Winifred's dark spell has cursed Winifred. Winifred's rather straight teeth have become what she intended Sarah's teeth to become teeth belonging to a horse.
"Winnie, your, your teeth, they're changed," Mary pointed out with hesitation. Winifred puts her hands to her mouth and starts to touch her teeth immediately feeling the change in the structure of her teeth.
"My teeth, you ruined my teeth!" Winifred yells.
"I-I didn't mean to Winnie, I only meant to block your spell," Sarah said.
"I'll get you for this," Winnifred yells as she threw a blast of lightning towards her younger sister. Sarah flees, she must have been running with Winifred chasing after her for an hour.
The chase has resulted in Sarah fleeing deeper into the forest. If Sarah was skilled enough to transport back to the Sanderson home, she wouldn't she would have transported over to her father. But sadly that little magic trick is far from her expertise. The little girl is out of breath and stumbles to the ground. Taking a minute to catch her breath she gets to her feet only to find nearby tree branches to grab her by the arms and pull her into the air. Sarah fights to break free but is unable the branches seem to grow stronger the more she fights.
"Can't run anymore sis," Winnifred snarled.
"Let me go," Sarah yells.
"Not until I see you bleed," Winifred says, she then fires a bolt of electricity at her younger sister but before it can reach Sarah it vanishes. Winifred fires another bolt of electricity. Which just as the first vanished before it could hit the youngest witch.
"Enough!" A voice shouted each sister searched for the owner of the voice and found Dahlia Sanderson standing there.
"Mother, I..." Winifred gasped.
"Don't," Dahlia interrupted with a flick of her left wrist, the branches that are holding Sarah captive return to their natural state. But Sarah is dropped safely.
"You dare attack another with your gifts! You're sisters your sisterhood is supposed to be unbreakable," Dahlia snapped.
"She is not our sister, her father is some priest, her magic is non-existence compared to mine or Mary's, she's barely on par with a fairy," Winifred snapped.
"She is by blood my blood the blood which flows through your veins. Her magic will grow as she grows, you have yet to grow the power needed to create duplicates of oneself. Remember Winifred, your power is nothing to any of those that have come before you," Dahlia pointed out. Winifred looked away from her mother. "Now, mind telling me what caused this situation to arise?"
"She attacked me!" Sarah spoke up pointing at Winifred.
"It was game, we were simply playing," Winifred says.
"Game, you attacked me," Sarah snapped.
"You ruined my Teeth!" Winifred shouted.
"And that's how they will stay," Dahlia declared.
"But mother," Winifred and Mary said.
"Consider it a lesson to you all, sisterhood is each of your main concerns, the three of you have a special destiny. One that you will fulfil or you will suffer," Dahlia responds, she then clicked her fingers sealing Winifred's dark spell, so it could never be broken by the girls.
