Chapter 5
The Blake Witch is Born
Daphne awoke to find herself in a strange house. There was very little in the house other then a shelf with a few bottles on it and a large cauldron on the fire in the middle of the room. She then saw the three witches.
"Oh that's just great." Daphne said.
"Welcome young lady to our humble home." the oldest witch said.
"That's a first." Daphne said.
"What's a first?" Elvina said.
"Kidnappers welcoming me to where they're were going to keep me hostage." Daphne said.
"You mean you've been kidnapped before?" Victoria said.
"Yes." Daphne said begrudgingly.
"I'm curious how do you escape from these kidnappers." Mary asked.
"Almost every time I saw the mystery with my friends." Daphne said gritting her teeth as she spoke.
"Do your friends come to save you?" Mary said.
"Of course they do." Daphne replied.
"Then why do you sound so angry that about it?" Victoria asked.
"Because ever time they do they call me "Danger-Prone Daphne" or "Helpless Daphne" and I'm sick and tired of it." Daphne said, tears ran down her checks as she finished.
"Oh you poor thing, if only there was a way that we could help Help you with your predicament." Victoria said. "Oh wait there is."
"How can you help?" Daphne asked.
"Why can't you tell? We're witches." Mary said.
"I'm not in the mood for jokes." Daphne said.
"We're not joking Daphne." Elvina said.
Daphne just raise an eyebrow. "Prove it." the redhead said.
Elvina used her magic in front of Daphne. At first the redhead only thought it was an illusion of some kind, but when she touched it she discovered it was very much real. She gasped. "Your… your… your real witches." she said in shock.
"Correct and we would like you to join our coven." Victoria said.
"You me to be join your coven, why?" Daphne said.
"Because we can see that you have great potential if given magic. So will you join us?" Mary said.
"Why would I join your coven?" Daphne asked.
"Because if you do you'll have a great powers. Powers that are allowed to never be kidnapped again Will be helpless again." Victoria said.
"Thanks but no thanks. I don't want to be witch." Daphne said.
Victoria expected to that this to be Daphne's reply. The witch then decided to use her manipulation skills to win the redhead over.
"Very well. I guess you can just go back to your friends… Danger-Prone Daphne." the oldest witch said.
Daphne's left eye twitched in frustration. "Please don't call me that." she said in a sad tone.
"Why not isn't it that what your friends called you?" Victoria asked. Then she used her magic to create puffs of smoke which formed into the shape of her friends who to mock the poor woman.
"Here look it's Danger-Prone Daphne." the one that looked like Velma said.
"Like a wonder how she'll get into trouble this time." the smoke resembling Shaggy said.
"Rt reast rill rnow rhere ro rind rer rhen rhe rcreams." the smoke Scooby said in a mocking chuckle.
Daphne looked at the smoke in horror as her "friends" mocked and belittled her for always being a damsel in distress. Victoria smiled knowing that very soon, Daphne would be joining her coven. Then a cloud of smoke formed into Fred.
"I can't believe she would fall for such such any obvious trap." he said in a mocking laugh. Daphne looked at him with tears in her eyes. "If it wasn't for me she be completely helpless. She's absolutely nothing without me." he said in a smug voice.
Daphne shock her head in disbelief before falling to her knees and cried, as the smoke disappeared. She was too angry and upset to know that Fred would never have said any of those things.
"There, there Daphne. I know you don't want to go back to them after everything they said." Victoria said pretending to care for the upset woman. "But we're offering you away out of it. Join our coven and show them how powerful you are."
Daphne looked up and thought about it, unsure if she should join.
"If you don't want to then you go back to being Danger-Prone Daphne." Victoria said.
Daphne glared at the witch and held out her hand. "I accept your offer."
"Wonderful." Victoria said, but before she could shake Daphne's hand Elvina spoke.
"Daphne before you join us you must understand that you must become a witch first." the youngest witch said, hoping this would make Daphne change her mind.
"How do I become one?" Daphne asked.
"Simple will make you a potion that will turn you into one." Victoria said.
"Whilst we make the potion why not you get into your new outfit." Mary said. Then she used her magic to bring over a traditional black, Victorian witch outfit and A traditional which is hat that had an indigo stripe.
Daphne left the room to get changed whilst the witches began to make the potion. They put in seven ingredients into a hard black cauldron. These included I dead newt, an eye of a frog and the tell of a rat. Then they poured in a bottle each of a dark green liquid except Elvina's which was purple. As Victor just stared at the green liquid they chanted a spell.
"May thee who drink this potion be thee a witch." They said together.
Daphne then re-entered the room now wearing the witch outfit and hat. In addition she was now wearing black shoes, grey pantyhose and no longer wore her headband.
"Here you go my dear." Mary said handing to Daphne the potion, scooping it up in a bottle.
"Once you drink this will be more powerful than you could ever imagine." Victoria said.
Daphne was about to drink the green liquid when Elvina tried one last time to make the redhead to change her mind.
"Daphne. If you do drink this potion then you'll be a witch, but you might never be able to turn back to normal." Elvina said.
Daphne looked at Elvina then at the potion, Then glared at the witch. "But at least I won't be Danger-Prone Daphne anymore." Daphne said. Then she drank the potion to the very last drop. Victoria and Mary smiled whilst Elvina looked in horror.
Suddenly Daphne felt a pain in her stomach as the magic took hold. She bent over to easies it, then she screamed in pain as she felt the changes begin. She looked at her hand and saw her fingers grow longer and her soft nails becoming long, sharp talons. She gritted her teeth in pain before her nose elongated and her nostrils widened with two warts growing, one on the left side and one one the right side of her nose, whilst her chin grew outwards with a wart on the left side. Her hair grew longer, going over her shoulder and became unkept and scruffy whilst her eyebrows arched and her skin turned green. She felt a headache as the magic entered her brain giving her knowledge and the ability of magic as well as twisting her heart to that of wickedness and cruelty.
Once the transformation was complete Daphne unbent herself and cackled in a wicked tone. The helpless damsel in distress she once was had gone, now she was a wicked witch. A woman with dark magic and a heart full of wickedness.
"Welcome to our coven Daphne Blake." Victoria said handing her a broom. "So what's the first thing your going to do?."
"I think I'll pay my former friends a little visit." Daphne smirked.
Victoria and Mary grinned in delight as Daphne hoped on her broom and flew off into the night sky. She cackled in a wickedly glee tone as flew in front of the full moon. tonight her friends would pay for what they said about her.
