Trapped in the Coven Chapter 1

Amy gasped away on a grassy surface. She clutched on to the tuffs of grass around her. She quickly got up and looked around. There was a large metal gate a few feet away. She was wearing a sleeveless black dress. Amy felt the smooth dress with her hands and smiled. "Oh my God."

She walked through the gate and down the front porch path. She smiled all giddy as she went up the steps. She could hear the Lala Lala song in her head. Amy knocked on the front door of the huge White building. The sign on the door said: Miss Robichaux's Academy.

Cordelia opened and smiled. "Amy, What are you doing? You know how to unlock doors."

Amy's eyes widened. "I can?"

Cordelia stepped aside and Amy entered the house. She spun around and laughed as explored the house. "I'm in the coven!" She shouted. "Woo!"

"Shut up!" Madison called, leaning from the banister.

Amy ran upstairs and peeked into the room. "Zoe!" She shouted.

Zoe jumped. "Hey."

Amy looked in the next room. "Hi Queenie!"

Queenie made a face at Amy. "Uh hey? What's got you all hyped up?"

"It's just a beautiful day. It's glorious!" Amy said. She twirled around the room.

"Whatever." Queenie said.

Amy skipper over the next room. Empty. There were a lot of empty rooms. The last two rooms were Nan's and Cordelia's. Where's everyone else? Where are Kate and Hannah? And my brother?

"Who's Kate and Hannah?" Nan asked Amy. She came out of her room.

Amy's eyes narrowed. She took Nan's arms wrists and pulled her back into her room. "Nan, you have to fill me in. How long have I been in the coven?" Amy asked.

Nan stared at Amy. "What happened to you? Your thoughts are all jumbled up and don't make sense."

"Long story." Amy said.

"Yeah I get that." Nan nodded. "You've been here for a month. Your parents dropped you off in their car and drove off before you knocked on our door."

Amy looked down at the floor. "No one else had joined the coven, besides Zoe? It's just us five?"

Nan nodded. "Unfortunately."

Amy sighed. Where are they?

"I don't know." Nan said, annoyed. She left the room.

Amy looked through "her" belongings in her room. She had a photo album with her fake parents. "Huh. Still better than my actual parents." Amy had a few books (Harry Potter, The Magicians) across her dresser. She had a cheerleading trophy. "What the hell?" Amy asked while holding it. There was an extra bed no one was using.

Later that night, Amy heard Madison and Zoe leaving the house. Amy chases after them near the front door. "Where are you off to?"

Madison scoffed. "We're going to a party. What's it to you?"

Amy gave a small gasped. Episode 1! "I want to come."

Madison tilted her head. "Really?"

"I haven't been to a party since... I've never been to a party." Amy said.

"Let her come." Zoey said.

Madison opened the door. "This is a real party girlie. With booze and boys."

"I can handle it." Amy said.

"Alright." Madison said. "I'm leaving in five minutes. If you're late, we won't wait."

Amy took off upstairs and quickly got changed. She found a silk green dress in her closet and threw it on.

Once inside the party, Amy broke away from Zoey and Madison go start dancing. "I haven't heard this song is years!" She alternated throwing up each of her hands. She jumped as the song played. Her hair moved from side to side.

Later that night, a frat boy started talking to her while she got a soda from the cooler.

"Rum goes really good with that." The frat boy said. He held a flask in his hand. He didn't look familiar to her.

"I'm good." Amy said. She raised her can and took a sip.

"Based on your dancing, I thought you were already plastered." He said.

"Gee thanks." Amy said. She took another gulp. "Holy shit," she blurted.

"What?"

"It's 2013. Netflix exists! YouTube! Once Upon a Time is on... season 3. Ah, my favorite season. I could totally spoil the series. I could make theory videos that are always right."

The frat boy looked at her so confused.

"Never mind frat boy." Amy said before walking away.

Amy walked outside of the frat house to get some air and finish her soda. A few minutes later, as she finished her drink, a bunch of frat boys ran out of the house and on to a bus. Amy watched as the bus drove off and her fellow coven sisters left the frat house. Madison walked out into the road and flipped the car over.

Amy binge watched Netflix the morning after the frat party. She was happy to have a TV in her room. She made popcorn (in the microwave) and ate the whole bowl of it.

Madison walked by and gave Amy a supporting look before moving on.

In Zoe's room, Madison said, "Amy is not even phased by last night. She's binge watching TV."

"Probably to get her mind off of it." Zoe said.

Madison rolled her eyes. "Or she's not dwelling on the past."

Amy went to talk to Nan again when Nan walked by her room. Amy paused Netflix and called her. "Nan!"

Nan turned back to Amy. "What is it? More weird questions?"

"What's my power?" Amy asked.

Nan giggled. "You forgot?"

"I think I know what it is. But I could only do it with my brother or with other people." Amy said.

"If you forgot how to do magic, I can't tell you what to do. It comes differently for everyone. You'll have to find it on your own. It's there." Nan said before leaving Amy's room.

Amy sighed and sat down on her bed. She looked out the window. No one was out there. "Where are they?"

She sat on her floor and tried to made something magical happen. She tried to move the TV remote but nothing happened. She scrunched up her face in concentration. She tried to pop popcorn with her mind. Nothing happened.

Later that day, two police officers visited the girls who attended the party. Madison didn't say anything. Amy shrugged during the interrogation. Episode 2 had already begun.

"You were there." One police offer said to Amy. "You didn't see anything."

"I was dancing." Amy said. She folded her arms.

"The whole time?" The other officer asked.

"I've been cooped up for a long time." Amy said. She leaned forward.

Zoe cracked under the pressure and outed them as witches. The Supreme Witch, Fiona has to step in and make the officers forget what they heard.

After the police officers left, Fiona lectured the three girls. Madison for being reckless, Zoe for outing them and "You." She pointed at Amy.

"What did I do?" Amy asked.

"Who goes to a party and only dances? That's not believable." Fiona said.

"That's what happened." Amy said.

"It's true." Madison said. "She was dancing like an idiot each time I saw her."

"Then you need to learn how to really have fun." Fiona said.

"We're working on it." Madison said.

Amy gave a small smile to Madison.

Zoe rolled her eyes angrily.

Amy continued to practice her powers that night. She was inspired while watching Once Upon a Time on Netflix. Each character with magic channeled their power differently. The magic flowed through their body before it was expelled.

Amy sat on her bed while watching the show and tried to mimic it. She sat with her legs cross crossed. Amy relaxed her body and breathed slowly. She closed her eyes and placed her hands by her knees.

Then she felt something. She felt weightless. Amy opened one eye and noticed the TV was lowered. She opened her other eye and looked down. She was floating! No, she was levitating!

Amy laughed and smiled. "Yes!"
