Trapped in the Coven Chapter 13

Episode 13

"I can't believe we're all still alive." Hannah said as she fell onto her bed.

Harry lied in the bed beside her. "I can't believe Fiona hasn't tried to kill us."

Hannah laughed nervously. "She's still out there."

"She won't come after us tough. She's after the next supreme." Harry said.

"It's the last episode..." Hannah said.

"Yeah. Today we find out who will be the next supreme. Even though we already know."

"There's no threat." Hannah said. "What could possibly kill us?" She turned her head to Harry.

Harry chuckles. "We could get hit by a bus or bit by a snake."

Hannah sighed. "I really liked it here."

Harry held her hand. "It was okay."

"I'm going to miss this place." Hannah said.


The witches gathered downstairs to being their test. Cordelia and Myrtle hosted the event. Zoey, Madison, Queenie, Misty, Hannah, Amy, and Kate stood in a circle. Kyle and Harry stood in the corners of the room, as spectators. Stevie Nicks sang "7 Wonders" around the house.

Telekinesis
All witches passed this round quickly. Kate was happy to see Misty quickly pass this first test. They moved a candlestick towards them.

"Guess all that practice paid off." Kate said to her.

Pyrokenisis

Using the candle the girls all brought to their hand, they lit it with their minds. Harry smiled when Hannah and Amy lit their candles.

Concilium - mind control

Hannah went up against Kate. Kate quickly got Hannah to fold her arms like a chicken and cluck. Hannah responded by making Kate do silly dance moves.

The other witches giggled at this.

"Very good ladies." Cordelia said. "Now for our last witch."

Amy went up against Mertyl. Amy stared at her nervously.

"It's okay dear." Mertyl said. "It's only for the test. I won't hold it against you."

Amy took a few slow breaths. She concentrated on Mertyl and thought of what she wanted her to do. Nothing happened. Amy closed her eyes and stretched her neck.

"You got this Amy." Hannah called out.

Zoe looked over at Hannah and back to Amy. "Yeah you can it." She called.

"Make her say something." Kate said.

Amy smiled and reached her arm out to Mertyl.

Mertly suddenly sat up and opened her mouth. "Fat Fannie fried fish furiously."

Amy clasped her hands together.

Kate giggled and clapped for her friend.

Mertyl gasped and looked around the room. "What kind of gibberish was that?"

Cordelia smiled at Amy. "Well dome."

The witches headed to another room in the house.

"Is it possible to have more than one Supreme?" Amy asked.

Madison quickly looked at Amy.

"No." Cordelia said. "Most witches pass the first couple tests before the candidates thin out."

Descensum (hell and back)
A large hourglass was placed on a table. Amy stared at it nervously. Her face filled with dread.

"Scared are we?" Madison teased her.

"Cordelia, can we do this part later? Let's do the teleporting one or resurrection." Amy asked.

"Bak bak." Madison made chicken sounds.

"Shut up." Kate said to her, annoyed.

"This is the way it has always been done by witches." Mertyl said. "It must be in this order."

Kate reached over and held Misty's hand.

The witches began to lie down on the floor with their heads touching, in a circle. Kate continued to hold Misty's hand.

"Misty it's not real." Kate whispered to her. "It may feel so real, but it's not. The frog isn't real. The teacher isn't. The class isn't. We're real. I'm real. Please remember that."

Misty squeezed Kate's hand before drifting into hell. Her own personal hell.

Hannah found herself in a familiar place. That high school with everyone laughing. Hannah quickly escaped and woke up shortly after Queenie.

Harry quickly ran over to her.

"I'm okay." Hannah said.

Amy descended to an old house. A man stood in front of Amy and her brother. She was a lot younger. The man was scolding them with a beer bottle in his hand.

"We're so sorry papa." She said.

"Sorry isn't going to fix this!" He said. "You ruin everything! You're clumsy. You don't listen. You're stupid."

Amy was sobbing uncontrollably. She looked devastated.

"And you don't shut up!" He shouted. He backed up and took a big gulp from his bottle. "Get over you little bastards."

Amy took off running across the house.

The man quickly caught up to her and pulled her by her hair.

"Ahhh!" Amy screamed.

He kneeled down and whispered right in her ear. "You stupid little girl. Where were you going to go?"

Amy took a few heavy breaths, panting.

"You can't run from me. I'll always find you. You can't stop me." He said.

Amy looked over at her brother. He was on his knees, hugging his gut. Something changed in her. "You're wrong."

"What did you say?" He asked, angrily.

Amy smirked at him. "We do escape from you. And you never find us."

He loosened his grip on her. "You're a weakling. You don't stand a chance. You or your pathetic brother."

Amy pushes him back, making him fall over. Amy ran into the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and stabbed him as he ran up to her.

The man gasped and took one last breath before dying.

Amy gasped awake. Zoe and Madison were already up too.

Harry went over to her.

Amy had tears coming down her face.

"What happened?" Harry asked.

She looked up at him. "I didn't have any of my powers down there."

"Well of course not." Mertyl said. "It's hell."

"It's was awful. But I broke free. I realized it wasn't real and I had to get out of there. It wasn't real, so what I did there wouldn't matter. Then it was over." Amy said.

Kate descended into her foster house. Everyone was still there, but something was off. There was a knock at the door. Kate slowly opened the door. It was Dr. Thredson.

Kate screamed and slammed the door shut. She ran across the house and bumped into someone. The butcher.

Kate ran into her room and found her roommate dead. She was all sliced up.

"Don't be scared," said Dandy in the corner of her room. "This will be fun."

Kate ran out of her room and into a closet. She hugged her knees and breathed very quietly. "Please wake up. Please wake up." She whispered. "This isn't real."

"Oh it's real honey." The Axeman's voice said.

Kate looked up and saw the closet door open. He was standing right there.

The axeman dragged her by her feet while she screamed. She tried to grab hold of anything on the ground but there was nothing. Finally, she grabbed hold of the railing by the stairs. "No. No. No!" She said. A powerful blast came from her, knocking the axeman back.

Kate sat up, back in the Robichaux Academy. She looked a bit confused.

"Kate." Hannah hugged her. "We were getting worried."

Kate looked over at the hourglass. Less than a minute remained. She looked down at her hand. Misty was still there, unconscious. Her body there, but her mind in hell.

The hourglass ran out and Misty began to turn to ask.

"No." Cordelia cried out. She held Misty as she crumpled.

Kate sat with her and held Cordelia's hand. "Misty..." Her eyes watered, though she tried to push them back.

The ashes vanished moments later.

Transmutation - teleportation
The remaining witches passed this task easily. They ran around outside, playing tag like children. The teleported around the front lawn.

"Can't catch me." Hannah teased Queenie.

Kate teleported behind Madison and poked her. "Gotcha."

Harry watched them from the porch with Cordelia and Mertyl. "Who do you want to be supreme?"

"It's not up to me." Cordelia said.

"Anybody but Madison." Mertyl said.

Harry chuckled. "Amen to that."

"My money's on Zoe." Mertyl said.

Harry nodded, "That's what Amy said. She seemed the most likely candidate..."

"What about you?" Cordelia asked. "You have your sister and your girlfriend in the running."

"Honestly, my sister would be a better supreme. But don't tell Hannah I said that." Harry said.

"Our girls are strong. The boys at the Hawthorn school could never compete with us." Cordelia said.

"Hawthorn school?" Harry asked casually.

"It's school for warlocks."

Harry's face flushed. "There's... they have thier own school?"

"Yes, but they're nothing special." Mertyl said. "None have ever mastered all 7 wonders in history."

Harry turned away and looked down. "I should tell you something..."

"Ahhhh!" Queenie screamed.

Cordelia and Mertyl ran over to Queenie and saw for themselves. Zoey's teleportation have gone wrong. She landed right on top of the gates, piercing her torso.

"Zoe." Amy covered her mouth.

They managed to get Zoey down using their telekinesis abilities. She wasn't breathing. Her body was brought to the greenhouse.

Vitalum Vitalis
Queenie was first up to try to resurrect Zoey. She was unsuccessful.

Madison refused and killed a fly in her hand. She brought it back to life, passing the test.

Amy went up next. She whispered into Amy's ear and waited. Nothing happened.

"No." Amy cried. "We have to save her."

"I'm sorry Amy." Harry said.

"I don't care about being supreme. Zoe didn't deserve this." Amy said.

Hannah was up next and failed too. "It's not as easy as it looks."

"Kate, you're up." Cordelia said.

The witches all gathered around as Kate approached Zoe. Kate noticed this and looked nervous. She put on hand on Zoe's arm and leaned over to her ear. She whispered the words and waited. Nothing happened.

Hannah tilted her head.

"It's alright." Cordelia said. She sounded disappointed.

Divination
Madison, the seemingly last remaining candidate for supreme, failed this task. She got pissed for failing, and stormed out of the room.

Mertyl convinced Cordelia to enter the running.

"If Cordelia was always a candidate..." Hannah said, "then why wouldn't you take the tests with us?"

"I thought my purpose was to help witches. And I didn't want my mother to think I could be the one to surpass her." Cordelia said.

Upstairs, Madison packed to leave town. Kyle was furious that she refused to bring back Zoey. She was the only one who could resurrect her (or so they thought). Kyle strangled Madison, killing her. Spalding witnessed this, and helped Kyle his her body.

Cordelia successfully brought Zoey back to life minutes later. During her Divination test, Kate listened carefully to the introductions. When asked where an item was hidden, Kate's eyes widened. Cordelia knee where the item was hidden quickly. When she said it aloud, Kate looked at Cordelia, worried. Cordelia was correct. She was the next supreme.


Harry and Hannah slowly walked into the kitchen the next morning while Cordelia drank her morning coffee. She looked up at Harry and Hannah.

"You're eyes are back." Hannah said quickly.

"Well, not exactly my eyes," Cordelia said, "but yes, I can see again. Again."

Hannah held on to Harry's arm.

"What's going on?" Cordelia asked. She placed her drink down on the table.

"I need to tell you something," Harry said nervously. He cleared his throat. "I'm a... I have magic. I've had it all along. I didn't know there were warlocks here. I thought I was the only one. I was afraid that if-if I said anything I might be killed or sacrificed..."

Cordelia gave him a smile. "I was wondering when you were going to tell me."

"You knew?" Hannah asked.

"I have the sight," Cordelia said. "Of course I knew."

"What does this mean?" Harry asked. "Why haven't we really talked about Warlocks before?"

"Because was they are hardly worth mentioning." Mertyl said, entering the room. "Warlocks have always been second class magic weirders. And usually hate witches."

"Seems we found a good one." Cordelia said. "You may stay here if you choose, but I can't properly teach you. If you wish to learn more, you may join the Hawthorn school of gifted boys."

Harry waved his hand. "No thanks. I'm quite happy here..." he turned to Hannah.

She smiled at him and leaning against him.


Cordelia went public with the witches, exposing them the world. Harry contoured to work at a servant, along with Kyle. After hours, he was allowed to train with Cordelia in the greenhouse.

Amy gathered the group in her room that night. Kate, Hannah, and Harry stood around her. "It's the end of the season."

"We're all still alive." Hannah said, happily.

"What does that mean?" Harry asked.

"What happens now?" Kate asked.
