Trapped in the Coven Chapter 10

Episode 9

Kate flinched and shook as she slept one morning.

Amy woke up, lying in the same bed as her. She sat up and called her name. "Kate? Kate!"


A few days before...

Luke stood in the control room just outside the room where Kate, Hannah, Amy and Harry were still asleep. He stared at the screen with Kate on it. She was practicing magic with Misty in the greenhouse. "How much longer are they going to be trapped in there?"

Sammie sat in a chair by the panel. Holly was there too. She stood behind Sammie.

It was the day before the coven meeting took place, revealing the truth.

"It's not like they're suffering this time around." Sammie said.

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" Luke asked. He turned away from the screens.

"This won't last forever." Holly said. "They're on their fourth season. We won't do them all."

"Kate hates me. Every day that I'm not there. They think I abandoned them."

"You did." Holly said.

"You woke me up!" Luke shouted. He got close to Holly's face.

"You served your time Luke." Sammie said. She stood up from her chair. "You helped us here. You got half the sentence they did."

"Half." Luke scoffed. "So this isn't their last world? Not their Last season."

"What are you so worried about? Time moves faster for us here. A season there is a month for us." Hannah said.

"You come here every day." Holly said to Luke. "Maybe you should take a break. It's not doing you any good to come here."

"I can't leave her." Luke said. His shoulders were slumped.

"You already did." Sammie said.

Luke glared at Sammie.

"It's not good for you to watch her there. Trapped." Holly said.

"Learning magic and what not." Sammie remarked.

"Maybe I should spend more time at home. I hate lying to them about where I am." Luke said. He slowly left the room. He didn't visit again until a week later, after the coven meeting revealed all.


Kate saw their whole conversation while she slept.

"Kate!" Amy called her.

Cordelia was in the room with her. "She's okay. Don't touch her."

"What's happening to her?" Amy asked.

"I think she's having a vision." Cordelia explained.

"How long will she be like this?" Amy asked.

At the moment, Kate gasped awake. She sat up all the way on her bed.

"Kate?" Cordelia asked as she slowly walked up to her on the bed.

Amy rushed over to her side. "Are you okay?"

Kate looked forward confused. It was like waking up form a dream. It didn't come to her all once. She took a minute to piece it all together. "I saw Luke."

"What?" Amy asked.

"Luke was in the control room with Sammie and Holly." Kate said. "He's awake."

The four youths were all gathered in Kate and Amy's room after breakfast.

"That bastard." Hannah said.

"Do we know that this is real?" Harry asked. "It could have been a dream."

"Cordelia confirmed that it was a vision." Amy said.

"So you have another power." Hannah said. She folded her arms and shook her head.

"Should we be focusing on that?" Harry said. "Queenie left. We're one witch short in the coven."

"This is Episode 9." Kate realized.

"We made it so far." Amy said.

"We made it far last time too." Hannah said.

"What else did you see in your vision?" Harry asked.

"It's not what I saw. It's what I heard. Holly said this isn't our last season, but they won't do them all." Kate said.

"Yeah I figured we weren't going to be in cult." Hannah sneered.

"What's left?" Harry asked.

"Murder house?" Amy asked. "Hotel?"

Kate took a breath. "They also said that our time was half over with the freak show. I'm guessing that means there are one or two more seasons left."

Hannah froze. "I. Can't. I can't handle two more seasons of this."

Harry rubbed her shoulders.

"We're all in this together." Amy said. She gave a small smile to Hannah.

Hannah ignored it and turned away.

"I also remember them saying how time works here. A season here a about a month in the real world." Kate said. She looked as though she didn't want to say these words.

"So those ten years I spent in asylum and with the Walkers..." Amy said. "That was just a month for them." She stared forward. "And what? They just watch the highlights?"

A tear fell down Kate's face.

Zoe opened their door. "Nan really wants to visit Luke in the hospital. Anyone else want to go?"

Kate shook her head.

"Sorry." Hannah said. "Not today."

Amy took a moment before deciding. "Thanks for the offer, but I should stay here."


The four youths spent their evening placing magic as usual. Each of them had acquired telekinesis.

"I think these meetings will be more effective if we try to master one power at a time." Hannah said.

"You mean one seventh wonder." Amy said.

"Yeah." Kate agreed.

"We should invite Zoe and Nan to these meeting."

"And Misty." Kate said.

"Won't that change the story if they develop certain powers?" Hannah asked.

"Who cares anymore?" Kate asked. "We can try to make changes. They've worked before."

"For tonight we should focus on..." Hannah looked at pie chart with the seven wonders listed on them and pointed to one with her eyes closed. "Concilium."

"Huh?" Harry asked.

"Mind control." Kate clarified.

About a half hour after trying exercises and warm up to unlock this power, some progress was made.

"If we do invite the others, Harry can't join us." Amy said. "Or are we finally going to tell them about his powers?"

Hannah sat back. "We'll worry about that later. Now get off my back."

Amy leaned back, as if compelled to do so. "Alright. Geez." She got up and went over to their food stash in the closet.

"Toss me a bag of chips." Kate asked.

Amy grabbed the small bag of chips and perfectly tossed it to Kate.

Kate's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. She looked over at Hannah and Harry.

Hannah smiled and looked up at Amy. "Amy do you feel okay?"

"Huh?" Amy asked. "I went to get myself a snack and ended up getting her a snack." She looked very puzzled and went back into the closet to grab herself a bag of Cheetos.

Kate and Hannah gave each other a high five.

"Fascinating." Fiona said, standing in the doorway.

The youths all turned to face her quickly. Hannah scooted away from her.

Kate cleared her throat. "Yeah. We're just practicing our very limited skills. Barely mastering one of the seventh wonders."

"That's why we practice together." Hannah said. She sounded unsure of her words.

"Don't ever doubt your power girls." Fiona said. "I've seen all the powers you each have developed. They may not all be a seventh wonders, but that doesn't make them unimportant."

"Thanks for the advice." Kate said. She seemed irritated. "We'll keep it in mind."

"I came in here to check up on my younger witches, especially after that very confusing video." Fiona said.

"It's a long story. It would bore you." Kate said.

Amy sat up. "She means that we're too tired to get into all that tonight."

"Very well." Fiona said. "If you change your mind, I'll be downstairs teaching our newest house guest how to play cards."

Amy's eyes widened. "Cards?"

"Who?" Harry asked.

"Kyle." Hannah told him.

"Need another player?" Amy asked.

Downstairs in the kitchen, Fiona, Kyle, and Amy sat at the small table. Amy shuffled the cards skillfully, to Fiona's surprise. She handed out the cards swiftly.

"Where did you learn that?" Fiona asked.

"Metal asylum." Amy answered. She smiled and looked at the two of them. For a moment, she saw her old friends Kit and Judy.
