It would be decades before the next Diana Cavendish was born into the family, as the latter moved to France with Maria Du Nord and she left the diaries and the book of the fertility stone with her, and everything stayed with the Du Nord family, who moved into the large house that had once been near the old Terre Sapphique, this time near the town of Loperèc. Because of this all the descendants that came with the surname Du Nord in that residence.
In the Cavendish family, the offspring came from Sarah Cavendish and Caroline McLaren Cavendish, who did not pass on Diana as much, leaving only a story about how Victoria and she had a hard time during the time of the lesbian witch hunts. Also the fact that the descendants who came along gradually forgot about this story, 100 years after Diana II was born, the Cavendish family could no longer remember anything about the legendary witch, even though she was still very much alive in France.
Alice Cavendish II, a student at Weddinburgh Academy born January 29, 1860 was studying for college as usual, she always went to the library to get some more books, since she was a medical student and intended to become a great doctor. The year was 1880, she was in the library and went after a book that was on a higher shelf, but she accidentally lost her balance on the ladder and fell, but luckily a boy came to her rescue. Herald Morris, also a medical student, born on March 18, 1860, was a beautiful boy with long red hair and some curls, and a somewhat defined body, since he used to play many sports. That day was what made Alice fall in love with the boy, who seemed to be just a clumsy guy with glasses who was knocking over books, but in fact was quite the opposite of that.
They met a lot during this period of university, and sometimes they also went out with the intention of having some more romantic encounters, and their courtship was only a matter of time. What really happened, after a few years, was the wedding on November 17, 1884. Born on August 17, 1885, Meredith Cavendish was their first child, and it would be a long time before they would have another, since they preferred to wait until their eldest was a little older to make their second child, so they would help teach little Meredith how to care for a child in the future, as well as having someone they could trust to give love and care to this second child.
Meredith was a curious child and fascinated by stories, so much so that she enjoyed reading books that were scattered throughout the Cavendish family library, until she accidentally found a book called "The Fertility Stone" and it was the book of the first Diana Cavendish that was written in the 17th century, The little girl who was 10 years old by then was amazed, that book told in detail about the magic stone that could help couples of women to have a family, so much so that she went running to her mother and showed the book to her that at first she was a little bit disbelieved.
Until she went into the family archives and noticed that the story matched the names in the family tree, that indeed Diana Cavendish I and Sarah Campbell had daughters between them using magic and that made her somewhat impressed, unlike other mothers who would find it absurd because it was a lesbian witch, but Alice reacted differently, because one of the couple's daughters had the same name as hers and the woman had no idea that it came from an experiment on the fertility stone. Because of that book, little Meredith asks her mother to name her next child after her.
September 22, 1898, after a few years Alice got pregnant and that day she was having labor to have her second daughter, the midwives were asking the woman to push harder that the child was about to come out.
- Come on Alice, keep going, breathe some more, the child is almost out.
Says the midwife.
- Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Hmmm!
Alice says, pushing hard.
Alice keeps pushing for a long time, until cries could be heard, it was from the little Diana Cavendish III who came into the world, after hearing those cries, Alice even gets relieved, while the nurses took care of the little child, cutting the umbilical cord and passing a towel over her body.
- She is a very healthy girl, I wonder what her name is?
Says the midwife.
- Diana Cavendish, her name will be Diana, after a great witch she had in this family... My Diana Cavendish was born...
Alice says breathlessly.
Diana Cavendish III, was born on September 22, 1898 at 6:44 pm, by normal birth, the girl weighed the equivalent of 3.22 kg and was very healthy, with some greenish hairs showing that she had a lot of family genetics, which had everything to have such a great name. Meredith and Alice already knew that this would be the third Diana Cavendish as they pulled from the family timeline, there was another Diana who was in this case the second, that they didn't know much about, they only knew that she was of great help to the supreme leader Victoria McLaren, who until that time was still alive, but no longer held her position.
Diana was a very healthy baby, being cared for with all the love in the world by her mother Alice and her older sister Meredith, who was 13 years old at the time. Unfortunately, the girl ended up with a problem that left her sterile. Meredith didn't menstruate, she even went through puberty and developed her body, but never menstruated, it was a genetic anomaly she had that prevented her from getting pregnant by traditional methods, being necessary the stone of love in the case of her relationship with a boy or a stone of fertility in the case of a girl, but she herself never wanted to have children, since taking care of Diana was practically like having a daughter.
The little girl in the first years of her life was a very active baby, she ran around the house, played games, sometimes flew with her broom, and cast spells, showing that she would also be a very talented witch, which grew some of Meredith and Alice's attention on the little girl, so much so that they began to train her more carefully to give Diana's magic more control.
In September 1901, Meredith started to study at the Luna Nova academy of witches, since it was her dream to enter the largest academy of witches in Europe and her mother would not fail to fulfill this request, since in the future the girl would have a great career ahead of her when she graduates, since a diploma at the grandiose academy of witches is worth a lot, giving the Cavendish family quite a return for the famous academy since it had been decades since she last studied there.
December 11, 1901, it was an ordinary day at the Cavendish family mansion, Meredith was enjoying the winter recess, taking care of her sister Diana who was playing in the backyard with snowballs, trying to make some sculptures with the snow, but they always ended up falling. Until a group of policemen arrive at the residence and go to Meredith who was sitting on a chair reading a book.
- Are you Meredith Cavendish?
Says the policeman.
- Yes. Why police officer? Has something happened?
Says Meredith in all innocence.
- Alice Cavendish and Herald Morris... Their parents ended up dying in a carriage accident last night after a very heavy rain pushed them down a cliff... My condolences girl, but when we arrived they were already dead... Excuse me for asking, but we would like to know where you were last night?
Says the policeman.
- What? You cop... Are you serious? My parents... Are you sure it was them... No...
Says Meredith beginning to cry in shock.
- Sorry girl...
Says the policeman.
- I was at home... Sleeping or reading a book... Why... Why... If I knew they were at risk I would go by myself to get them... But there was no way for me to know...
Says Meredith crying as she looks down.
- We know enough already... If we care, we're going out to continue the investigation of this accident, and my condolences to Meredith Cavendish...
Says the policeman.
After that moment Meredith was a wreck, she couldn't stop crying, while the policemen rode away on their horses. Diana noticed that her sister was crying and went over to her to find out what was going on, looking with all the innocence in the world at the older girl, but she was still very worried.
- What's wrong, Sis?
Diana says.
- (What I say... She's only three years old... How am I going to tell my little sister that mommy and daddy are dead... Come on Meredith Be strong... Better to speak now than never to speak and she will be angry with me for the rest of her life).
- Diana... Daddy and Mommy... They went on a trip, but they won't be back because something happened... the great witch Lilith ended up having to pull her into her kingdom... Unfortunately our parents have to stay there... But they said they love us very much...
Says Meredith until Diana makes a crying face.
- Are Mom and Dad dead?
Diana says almost in tears until Meredith hugs her.
After that moment Diana ended up crying due to the loss of her parents, as did Meredith. The next day was the wake for both of them, where the whole family that until then only consisted of Meredith and Diana went, plus also some family friends, including the best friend of the little girl's sister, Gabrielle Benson Ford, who had a daughter the same age as Cavendish named Margareth.
- My condolences Meredith... I'm sorry about your parents... If you want I can visit you whenever I can. I can imagine how hard it must be for you to have all this responsibility on your back.
Says Gabrielle with her hands behind her back.
- My condolences Diana... But don't be so sad... Your mommy and daddy are now in the kingdom of the great witch Lilith... they are in paradise.
Says Margaret with her hand on Diana's shoulder.
- Thank you Margareth... I just wish they weren't called into Lilith's kingdom so soon... Because she wanted them so much... Are my parents too important?
Diana says holding Margaret's hand until her father separates the two and smoking a pipe starts laughing next to Gabrielle and Meredith.
- The girl managed to pull off one of those stunts! Hahahaha! Look how wonderful, she's got the whole family fortune... Look, Gabrielle, if I were you, I'd stop talking to this woman, she's already done it to her parents and it won't be long before she does it to us... Who would have thought that Meredith got so lucky that she was the lucky one who got the entire Cavendish family fortune.
Says Keith (Margaret's father) smoking a pipe and throwing the smoke in Meredith's face, then he took it and kissed Gabrielle forcibly.
Little Margaret looked fearfully at her father, while Meredith was disgusted, while Diana was worried about the little girl, until she noticed some marks they had on her cheeks, red marks, where the younger Cavendish decides to touch Ford's cheeks who ends up taking the green-haired girl's hand away.
- Don't touch, it hurts!
Says Margareth.
- Sorry I didn't know...
Diana says.
- All right...
Says Margareth.
After the wake had passed, Meredith did indeed end up becoming the head of the Cavendish family having the fortune in her hands, besides that she performed the ritual to become the leader of the family, even because of this, she had to stop studying in Luna Nova, since she had the responsibility and a whole family fortune on her back, besides also having to mature very early because of what happened, since she started taking care of little Diana in all these years.
September 22, 1903, was Diana's fifth birthday, she was running around the house all happy, Meredith was organizing a small party, but no one came, only Gabrielle who came with little Margaret, who soon went towards the youngest Cavendish and gave her a box with a present.
- This gift is for you Diana.
Says Margareth.
Diana opens the box and finds a broomstick, wand, a spell book and a witch's hat, which makes Cavendish jump with happiness, even hugging Margaret and then kissing the girl's cheek, who ends up blushing a little.
- Thank you so much Margareth...
Diana says.
- Eh... You're welcome? I... I just wanted to give a gift to someone I love so much.
Says Margaret blushing.
- I love you too, Margareth.
Diana says, smiling.
Diana starts playing with the broomstick and flying around, as well as wearing the witch's hat and starting to try some spells while flying, as she read the book, testing the ability of that broomstick. Margaret was just looking at her friend and kept clapping her hands for the spells she was doing, until Benson goes over to her mother and starts pulling at the hem of her dress.
- Mommy, can I fly with Diana?
Says Margareth.
- Okay my little love, but be careful, don't hurt yourself, and don't let your father see, so enjoy the flight.
Says Gabrielle stroking Margaret's head.
Margaret then grabs a broom and runs to Diana, who was trying every spell, but she could barely read what was written, trying everything to get the book closer to her face. Meanwhile Benson starts flying towards Cavendish until the green-haired girl crashes into a tree, but is saved by the brunette who arrives in time, using a spell to move her friend's broomstick that stops in the air. While the two were flying the two women were talking to each other.
- Is Keith still the same horrible man as always?
Says Meredith.
- His father's death has only made everything worse... I'm afraid of his onslaughts Meredith... I'm afraid of what he might cause Margaret more... I always stop him from hitting her, but I end up getting hit too... Margaret is only five years old... She is treated very cruelly and there is nothing I can do about it... You know how I'm a bought woman...
Gabrielle says.
- Gabrielle, try to separate and keep Margaret in your arms, go to court, Keith cannot continue to abuse you like this.
Says Meredith.
- And you think I have never tried? That bastard can buy off even the judges... He's powerful and rich Meredith. He can do whatever he wants...
Gabrielle says until Meredith puts her hand on her shoulder.
- So let me take care of it, he is rich, but so am I... The freedom of my friend and her daughter is something I would pay to see... This Keith doesn't deserve you... He may be rich just because he bought you as a wife, but he can't pass the power of a Cavendish too.
Says Meredith smiling at Gabrielle.
- Thank you... But please don't talk about it too much, or Keith might overhear.
Says Gabrielle smiling at Meredith.
The two are left talking to each other about something else, since there was a risk that Keith would show up and overhear that conversation Gabrielle and Meredith had had between them. Meanwhile, Margaret and Diana were having fun in the air, playing at flying behind each other on a broomstick, until the sound of gunshots could be heard. It was Keith, who fired his revolver in the direction of his daughter, who immediately fell to the ground and then the mother went running after her daughter.
- What have I already said? This daughter of ours is not going to be a disgusting witch! Let this be a lesson.
Says Keith kicking Margaret who was lying on the ground.
- Have you gone crazy shooting at your daughter?
Gabrielle says.
- If she's a witch then one shot won't kill her, but it will be enough to hurt her, let this be a lesson and I didn't hit her in such a good place, it was only a superficial shot in the back, don't tell me what to do Gabrielle.
Says Keith putting away his gun.
- Shooting your own daughter is a crime, you know? And you can go to jail for murder.
Gabriella says angrily.
- Hmpf! Fuck it I'm going to the car and you better be there within ten minutes or you two are going to pay dearly.
Says Keith walking away.
Diana was horrified by that scene and immediately went to land, as well as ran after her friend who was crying in pain, who luckily was alive, the shot caught her right in the back and luckily it wasn't in the spine, so the younger Cavendish started using magic and managed to get the projectile out, so she turned her friend around and started using a healing spell while she was crying.
- Margareth! Margareth!
Says Diana as she heals Margareth.
- Diana Did you cure me?
Says Margaret, wiping her tears and smiling.
- I don't want to see this man mistreat you... My friend can't die... My best friend Margaret.
Says Diana hugging Margareth.
Margaret blushes a little more while Meredith and Gabrielle were unresponsive, but then Ford's mother is relieved that the girl was alive and well, even congratulating Diana on her wonderful attitude, then she stands up carrying her daughter in her arms and says a tearful goodbye to Meredith and Diana.
See you, lesbian witches...
