I Am My Own Worst Enemy
The Wytch's Creed
Author's Note: Shadow-Spider- I am glad you like it. About Hecate's power, you were supposed to know in the previous chapters, but in this one you will, at least, get a general idea of what her power is.
The Prof. waited patiently as Kitty and Rogue walked into the library where he, Jean, Scott, Kurt, and Evan were waiting. When they were all together, the Prof. put his hands into his lap and began.
"I would like to talk to you all about our new family member, Hecate. As you all, already know, she is capable of tremendous power, and I don't think any of you know what her power is exactly, unless you have an idea?" when the silence continued without so much of an "uh" the Prof. continued, "First off, her name, does anyone know what it means, or has even heard of it? No? Well, in Greek mythology, Hecate was the Goddess of witches," everyone in the room gasped.
"Do you mean, like Wanda? Scarlet witch?" Kurt asked uneasily.
"Wanda has the ability to hex objects, and channel others' powers so that she can stop that body. No, she is not like Wanda, if anything, she is much, much stronger," when the Prof. received questioning looks from his students, he continued.
"That book that you saw Hecate clutching all the time, that is her 'Book of Shadows'. Witches, or groups of witches known as covens, follow the Book of Shadows. Either it paced down from witch to witch, or coven to coven; or a witch or coven make their own through trial and error. What the Book of Shadow is, is a book where witches and covens keep their spells, ingredients, chants, and such. The content can vary sometimes, some books may contain information on fortune telling, reading dreams, or using tarot cards. This new student is very mysterious, and has probably given her entire life force to being as powerful as she is now. Although I want you all to work your hardest at making friends with her, do be cautious about her," the X-Men hitched their breath at the same time at this subtle warning of what might happen if they decide to get on Hecate's bad side.
When they were dismissed, they each went their separate ways to their rooms, because they suddenly where overcome with exhaustion. When Rogue and Kitty made their way to their room, they noticed that one of the doors was a jar. The room had been empty for years because on of the younger students started a rumor that a ghost resided in that room.
When Kitty noticed a strange color light peaking through the door, she nudged Rogue on the shoulder and pointed to the door.
They both bent down on their knees to see through the crack into the room. Kitty gasped, and Rogue began to sweat, in the completely empty room was Hecate.
She was in the same black outfit as when she first came. She was kneeling on the floor surrounded by all the cards in her Tarot Deck. On the outside where strange cards that did not look like tarot cards. They had pictures of animals, mythical creatures, warriors, elements, deities, landscapes, and so forth. Hecate, who was sitting in the center of all of this was glowing a bright gray color, and seemed to be in the same trance she was In when the X-Men first met her. She was facing the window staring at the moon and speaking so quietly that a whisper could not be heard if you were sitting right beside her.
Besides the air of fear that radiated off the aura of Hecate, both Kitty and Rogue thought that she looked very elegent in this moonlight. It was almost like her pale skin was the light that made the moon shine. Her gray hair that blew around her face made a odd, yet beautiful halo.
The girls jumped when they heard the bells from inside the room, a sound so soft, you could almost imagine snow flakes falling in an open field. The wind also picked up and dropped so suddenly that it stopped.
Hecate turned around to the door and locked eyes with Rogue and Kitty. Their bones could have jumped out of their skin if that was even possible, but neither could move. They were transfixed on those glassy gray eyes, who's body was just as still and looked as a beautiful as a cobra ready to strike.
Hecate raised her palm to face the door, and the door began to creak closed, slowly. The two girls might have been seeing things, or perhaps the shadows on Hecate's face, made by the moon were causing some sort of illusion, but whatever it was.....Kitty and Rpgue could have sworn under oath in a court room, that they saw Hecate smile.
Even if they did see, it was over in the blink of an eye, for by the time they knew it, the door had already closed. Silently, they made their way back to their room. But, neither could get back to sleep, they had so much that they wanted to tell everyone.
