Trapped in the Coven Chapter 7

The four youths gathered in Amy and Kate's room each night to practice magic. Hannah's telekinetic Powers got stronger. She was able to move the dresser from one side of the wall to another. She mostly used her telekinesis to do mundane activities, such as the laundry. Amy used her heating ability to cook food without a stove. Harry developed basic divination. The girls hid objects around the room and the house to test his ability. He knew where and what was hidden each time. Kate developed a new ability. She could create small portals to other rooms in the house. She used the ability to grab snacks from the kitchen without leaving her room.

Misty Day arrived at the Robichaux Academy a few days later. She resurrected Myrtle Snow and was led to the greenhouse by Ms. Snow.

Misty entered the house later that night. Kate was walking down the stairs with Amy when she saw her downstairs. Kate stopped in her tracks and a huge smile formed on her face. "Misty." Kate said quietly.

Kate gravitated towards Misty during her first few days. Kate sat with her during dinners. She spent hours in the greenhouse with Misty and Myrtle, growing plants and brewing potions.

Kate waved her hand over plant and the plant grew twice its size.

"You have Chlorokenisis." Myrtle said to Kate. "A rare gift. And now we have two girls in the coven with such a gift."

"Too bad it's not a seventh wonder." Kate said.

"There are seven wonders but there are far more than seven powers." Myrtle said.

"Like What?" Misty asked.

"There are uncommon abilities that aren't included in the test of the seven wonders. Lighter powers. Variations of other seven wonders. Lie detection, a form of Divination. The sight, which our Cordelia has developed. Also a form of Divination. Illusion manipulation. An ability I have acquired. Levitation, a form of telekinesis. And so much more."

"So anyone who can levitate is also telekinetic?" Kate asked.

"They should be." Myrtle said. "Why do you ask? Have you been-"

"No not me." Kate said. "My uh, my roommate has been floating around."

"So what is Chlorokenisis a part of?" Misty asked.

"Vitalum Vitalis." Myrtle answered. "On a much smaller scale. Reviving plant life doesn't count as resurgence when it comes to the test."

Kate nodded. "So I guess my abilities to create portals is a part of Transmutation." She said aloud.

"What power is that?" Misty asked. "I only have one power."

"Aw." Kate leaned forward. "Don't worry. I only had one power before coming here. Now I can open small portals around the house. I mean, I can only reach my hand through, but I'm hoping that will expand to my whole self."

Misty smiled at Kate. "That sounds like an amazing gift."

"Indeed." Myrtle said. "Like nothing I've ever heard of. May I see it?" She walked over to Kate.

Kate closed her eyes and scrunched up her face. When she opened her eyes, a small circular portal opened up with a purple outline. Kate stuck her hand through and felt around inside. A few moments later, she pulled her arm out and the portal closed. She held a cookie in her hand from the kitchen and nibbles on it.

"Where did that come from?" Misty asked.

"The kitchen." Kate shrugged.

"Marvelous." Myrtle said. "Truly spectacular." She stared in awe for a moment. "Does Fiona know about this gift?"

"No." Kate chucked.

"Good." She said.

Misty gave her a strange look.

"I mean, don't tell her yet." Myrtle said.

"Why not? I'm not the next supreme." Kate said.

"I don't know. That power seems pretty rare." Misty said.

"Oh come on. It's not me. It's literally not me." Kate said. "Come on Misty. We can practice other kinds of magic in our rooms."

Misty followed Kate out of the greenhouse.

Amy walked in the kitchen to find Harry and Hannah were kissing by the fridge. Amy raised her lip in disgust and opened the fridge. She grabbed a yogurt and closed the fridge door. They were still kissing.

"Don't you need to come out for air?" Amy asked.

Harry giggled and Hannah lifted her up. Harry turned to his sister. "We didn't know you were down here."

"Anyone could have been. It's the kitchen." Amy said, irritated. She grabbed a spoon from one of the drawers.

"If you're worried about PDA, don't go in Zoe's room." Hannah said.

Amy shivered. "Ugh. I'm trying to eat here."

Hannah giggled but Amy glared at her.

During dinner, the topic of the next supreme was brought up. Fortunately, Fiona wasn't there. Zoe, Queenie, Madison and Nan proposed the idea of them being the next supreme. Madison was brought back by Zoe the night she messed with the Ouija board. Kate sat back and listened to them. Misty sat by Kate, curiously listening in.

"Girls, being Supreme is not a gift. It's a burden." Cordelia said. "You will have to carry on the coven name. Lead the next group of witches to their full potential. Protect them at all cost. And when the next supreme rises, you must endure your powers slowly draining out of you. You'll weaken until the next Supreme has risen."

"So it's like condemning yourself to a slow death." Amy said.

"Well that's one way to put it." Queenie said. She looked a bit disturbed by the comment.

"Today in the greenhouse, we were discussing other powers. Powers outside of the seven wonders." Kate said. "It's got me thinking, what are all the powers known to witches?"

Harry stood in the archway, listening subtly.

Cordelia looked down at her plate. "There are plenty of uncommon powers a witch can obtain. Myrtle knows more about this than me."

Myrtle sat up and smiled at her girls. "I'm glad someone is interested in learned about their craft."

"Hey, we're all interested." Hannah said.

"Yeah." Zoe said.

"There are still abilities that we have not yet to learn about." Myrtle said. "Zoe has a unique power known as Black Widow. Only you and your great grandmother are known to have that power. And just today I witnessed a new power by Kate."

Everyone turned their eyes on Kate.

Kate's eyes got wide and she looked down at her food.

"What power is that?" Madison asked, annoyed.

"Ability to put up with you." Queenie teased Madison.

"It's a variance of Transmutation." Kate said.

"I'm not sure that it is." Myrtle said. "I think it's something completely new."

Amy squinted her eyes and tilted her head. "The bleeding apple." She whispered.

"But that power isn't even a seventh wonder." Kate said. "I'm not the next supreme. I can promise you, it's not me."

"Well it's not like you can choose it." Nan said. "It's chooses you."

"Anyway, so other powers include..." Hannah said.

"Clairvoyance," Nan said aloud.

"Correct." Myrtle said. "That's another uncommon power. There's also injury Transference like our Queenie has."

Queenie beamed and pretended to toss her hair.

"Resurgence, which our Misty has." Myrtle said.

Misty smiled sweetly.

"It's that the same as Vital Vita- whatever?" Madison asked.

"Vitalum Vitalis." Cordelia corrected her. "And no. Resurgence requires the body to be intact when resorting them."

"Lie detection is another ability. One I have mastered." Myrtle said.

Amy smiled at her. "You can tell if someone is lying? Even if they're a really good liar?"

"Why yes." Myrtle said. "I've been spotting lairs for decades."

"Too bad Luke didn't gain that ability." Kate said aloud.

"Lie detection is a form of Divination. As is the sight, which Cordelia has developed." Myrtle said.

Amy took a breath before asking her question. "So there's Pyrokinesis, but is there hydrokenisis?"

"It's possible to control the elements, not just fire." Cordelia said.

"But controlling water is more of a male's power." Myrtle said.

"Male?" Hannah asked. "Warlocks?"

"Why yes, of course." Myrtle said. "There are male witches too. But we don't like to fraternize with them."

"Why not?" Madison asked. "Imagine all the spells you could do with them." She winked.

"Madison." Cordelia eyed her sternly.

"Warlocks and witches haven't gotten along for a millennia." Myrtle said. "Such is not a topic for the dinner table." She adjusted herself in her seat and took a sip of her wine.

"Besides we have a more urgent matter to discuss." Cordelia said. "Taking down my mother."

Hannah and Harry talked upstairs in their room, regarding the dinner conversation. They talked in low voices. Whispers.

"There are warlocks in this world?" Hannah said.

"That makes me one." Harry said. "Oh, they would kick me out if they knew."

"Maybe you can show them they're not all bad." Hannah said.

"It's not going to be that easy." Harry said.

"But if you hide this and they find out... they'll think you're a spy or something." Hannah said.

"Is magic sensing a thing?" Harry asked.

Hannah paused for a second. Then her face sunk. "Yes. Misty can sense if someone has magic. And Fiona said she could sense my magic, but I think she was just messing with me."

"Great." Harry said. He put his hand over his eye, rubbing them.

"I have to go downstairs right now. We're all doing some ritual. Stay away from Misty until we figure out how to tell them." Hannah said.

Harry looked stressed. His face full of worry and panic.

Hannah kisses him. "It's going to be okay."

The witches of the Robichaux Academy performed the Sacred Taking Ritual. It was a way to get Fiona to graciously end her life for the sake of the coven. The witches all wore thin black robes with hoods. The held hand sin a circle and chanted. Amy was rather reluctant during the whole thing, knowing it would fail. Damn Spalding.

Fiona didn't know that Madison and Myrtle had been resurrected, so their job was to taunt Fiona who was dazed upstairs.

Myrtle left with Fiona holding a bottle of pills, ready to end it all. Believing their plan to be a success, the witches once again brought up the topic of the next supreme.

Nan suggested herself, but we shot down by Madison, Queenie, and Zoe. She left to visit Luke R. Next door.

Hannah, Kate, and Amy retired early to their rooms. As Amy walked by their room, she saw Hannah and Harry in a warm embrace. Amy glared at them. She looked Madder than she had ever been in her life. She barged into their room.

"Alright break it up." Amy said. She pushed them apart.

"Hey!" Hannah said.

"Amy!" Harry said.

"I've had enough of this!" Amy shouted. "You two are insufferable. You're all over each other. You have no self-control."

"We're married." Hannah said.

"Not here, you're not." Amy said. "Not legally."

"We've been together since Roanoke." Harry said. "Why is this bothering you now?"

"Because until Freak Show, I thought I knew Hannah. But now I have to question everything. How did Sam and Holly and the rest convince Luke? To the point where he would stab us all in the back?"

"Not this again." Harry said.

"Yes this again!" Amy shouted. "It's about time we all knew the truth. And now that we're here in the coven, we can get the un-doctored truth about Hannah and Holly and Sam."

"Has it really come to this?" Hannah asked Amy.

"Yes it has." Amy said. "I'm tired of the lies. It's time to know the real truth."

"If that's what it takes." Kate said, standing in the doorway.

Suddenly, they heard gunshots coming from next door.
