Author's Note: Hey everyone! It's been a billion years since I've updated, but whenever I see a review in my inbox it immediately makes me want to continue my fic, so I sat down and began writing! Thank you to everyone who has stayed with me throughout this fic (it's still not done yet!) and I truly hope you've enjoyed it so far! I spent a month in Europe this summer, then came home and spent most of the time working or partying! But I came back to update! Sorry for the wait, please read and review!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Sweep, I don't want to own Sweep, I'm simply enjoying the great plot and characters!
Four months later
"Come on, just try it one last time," my father said, patting my cheek gently. "Just say the words clearly: Saelia Olliaf." I glared at him. After having heard the damn words a hundred times now I was getting a little annoyed.
"I know how to say the words! I'm tired and I'm just not feeling the power," I complained. I was lying, I knew it, he knew it, but with my power he knew not to mess with me. Although I was his student, I still had a lot of knowledge locked up inside me that had a habit of getting lose when I lost control.
"How the hell do you expect to kill your old coven if you can't master a damn skinning spell? Just say the words and the skin will melt off the damn kid! I'm hungry and want to go to the mall to get a bite to eat before the damn place closes! Hurry up! I'm losing patience with you, daughter." I huffed and glared angrily at him. "Come on Morgan, just do it!" I nodded and said the words dully. Nothing happened.
"No no no! You're doing it all wrong! You have to say it with force, with feeling! You're supposed to be strong, Morgan!" he shouted at me. "Don't you remember what they did to you? Don't you remember the pain Hunter put you through? You deserve to get back at them, to have the final word! Do you remember how betrayed you felt when Hunter, your so-called soul mate, was going to strip you of your powers? Your entire coven agreed to destroy you! This is you chance for revenge, and unless you learn this damn spell you'll never be able to succeed!" I felt a fiery sensation in my body, felt it grow and stretch inside me, it's claws sinking into my flesh. Crimson dots blotched my vision and my mind was filled with so much rage that I gave up trying to control its power. And damn did that devastate the house's living room.
I could distantly hear Ciaran screaming at me to turn it off, but personally, I don't really know how. Nor do I really want to. I shut my eyes, enjoying the rush of power that was whirling around me; my heart was pounding, my head felt light. It seemed to go on forever, but then it slowly faded and came back to me, wrapping itself around me like a protective blanket.
It was the first time in months that I truly felt safe. No one could hurt me now. My eyes opened slowly and I found myself staring Ciaran in the face, and he didn't look too happy. But really, when did he ever look happy? It wasn't until a couple moments later that I saw his hand raised into a fist as if he was going to hit me.
"Oh Ciaran, father dearest, I wouldn't if I were you," I whispered out hatefully. "I have so much more power than you. You could never hurt me. You've spent these four months teaching me all you knew. What, you thought you'd be able to control me? I am my own person now; I have my own beliefs and morals. I will not kill the innocent, which means that this child here," I said, pointing to the little boy beside me, "is not going to die."
"Damn it Morgan! He's just some stupid homeless boy! He's like what? Five years old? He won't even notice! You need to learn to kill and this child is a perfect target! I never knew you were so weak!" he screamed, spitting fire. I laughed, dropping to my knees beside the shuddering boy who was curled up in the fetal position and sobbing into his arms.
"Shh†It's okay honey. This bad man won't hurt you. It's okay, little boy," I whispered to him. I picked him up gently and cradled him in my arms, rocking him back and forth. "Kalef Ofienday," I said soothingly as I leaned down to kiss his forehead. The boy's body immediately went limp, his face going slack as his head fell backwards.
"What'd you do? What kind of killing spell is that?" Ciaran asked me excitedly. I pushed the boys body off my lap, wincing inwardly as it dropped harshly to the ground. Ciaran had an evil grin on his face. I smirked at him, walking slowly towards him.
"Oh daddy, did you really think I couldn't do it? Kill a stupid little child? Did you really doubt me? You think my powers are strong, well daddy dearest, my mind is much stronger. I am a weapon, a beautiful instrument of malevolence and sin that is about to be unleashed to the world. I'm going to tear this place apart," I whispered as I ran a hand down his cheek. He shut his eyes, enraptured in his thoughts of gaining power.
"But Ciaran?" His eyes opened to look at me curiously as I pulled my hand back from his face. "Don't you ever doubt me again!" I said harshly as I backhanded him, sending power through my hand as it connected with his face. I giggled mischievously as he collapsed to his knees, screaming as his jaw shattered under my touch. "You do not own me anymore. Sure, you've taught me all you knew about power, but guess what? You really didn't know a hell of a lot. The only thing you've really taught me is how to hate. You've plagued my mind with sadistic thoughts, made me want to hurt people with the powers that I've been blessed with. That is the only thing I thank you for. You let me see the truth about my old coven, and I can't wait to kill their sorry asses. You will die, Ciaran, but don't think that you've failed. Hunter will die too. Your death will come easy, but trust me, when I'm done with Hunter he'll be begging for me to end his life. And I will, oh yes" I shivered in anticipation and shut my eyes, licking my lips. "I'll kill him so slowly and painfully that his forsaken soul will be forever trapped in the empty rooms of my house, still screaming in remembrance of the agony I have subjected on him. You created a dark queen, and I've come to rule the darkness. You were strong, Ciaran, don't doubt your power. I was just stronger." I said with a soft voice.
"You were a good witch, but you sucked as a father," I said, then whispered a binding spell. Ciaran was trying to talk to me, trying to beg me to stop. It didn't faze me at all. I leaned down and picked up the boys body and as I walked to the front door I trailed my left hand over the walls, the furniture, the curtains. When I got to the doorway I turned back around and looked at Ciaran from across the room. His eyes met mine, pleading for freedom. I simply smiled and picked up a candle from the table beside me. Blowing lightly on the wick, the candle ignited and flickered helplessly against my breath. One last struggled scream from Ciaran was droned out as I threw the candle in the room, watching as flames erupted everywhere I had touched. The roaring fire had just begun its feast when I shut the door behind me, walking towards the car that was packed with all my belongings. After setting the boy's body in the passenger seat leaned over and lightly kissed him on the lips, breathing gently into his mouth. His body shuddered and he began to breath again. His violet eyes looked up at me and as I whispered a sleeping spell his eyes got foggy and slowly closed. I wrapped a blanket around him, then pulled out my makeup kit and began re-applying my eyeliner.
"Widow's Vale, here I come," I whispered sweetly, then started the ignition.
