Margareth had succeeded in her mission to distract the girls, so that they could later catch Claiomh Solais and then kidnap them, in a way that no one would be able to find the witch's trail, who hid in a very hidden place in Luna Nova, where it would be impossible to find it within the walls of the place, for it had not only been abandoned for a long time, but was also hidden in the middle of the buildings that had been built during the reforms over the years.
That day was getting dawn, Ford, took the opportunity to give a rest in the hiding place, already the trio of the girls was waking up little by little, in that dark room, where the only thing that beat were a few rays of sun in a very small frestra, what they were already noticing that they were tied up and without seeing anything, With all this commotion who ends up waking up is Benson herself who turns on the lamps of the place revealing to be nothing more, nothing less than a prison cell.
" Well look who's waking up, good morning to you three," said Margaret sarcastically as the three looked on in fear.
" What have you done with us? Where are we? " said Diana.
" Well from now on you will be my prisoners, it's like this, you will help me with whatever I need and you can get out of here, it's a simple thing, you are the witches of the seals " said the brownish witch.
" You'll pay for everything you've done Margaret, it won't stay like this! " Said Akko trying to get free of the chains.
" Oh don't waste your energy, from now on this will be your home, if you want to go back to your home just cooperate with me, I guarantee you will have good food, after all... I will need you healthy, especially Cavendish... Did you feel your neck lighter? " Said the green-eyed one who then took from her hands a large section of Diana's cropped hair in hand.
" What have you done to me? You... " Said the furious Scot without realising how her hair looked until Margareth levitated a mirror that went towards her.
" I need Cavendish genetics for my thingy, soon you'll meet her, who knows with more of this I might be able to improve the shape of the freak more, anyway... Enjoy your new home " said Margareth who then left laughing and closing the cell door.
The three were sitting with chains attached to their wrists and ankles, sitting on the floor without much to move, noticing that up there was a camera to observe everything, besides an empty room, with only a hole in the floor with a button, besides that the one with blue eyes notices that she is with her hair cut short, as Margareth passed the scissors up to the neckline, the trio was still in shock amidst the conditions they were put in.
" Damn it! I... I'm so sorry... I'm sorry you two, it's all my fault! I got you into this, I believed Nelson's manipulation, who was Margaret all along, it's all my fault, now we're in this hell " Amanda said.
" Hey, there's no way you could have known it was Margareth, it's not your fault Amanda " Akko said.
" I can even agree with Akko, it's not your fault we're here, but it was a mistake to put trust in Nelson, I really don't think you're someone Croix and Chariot use to take us places... My suspicion in the end was wrong," Diana said.
" I wish it was, but I was just curious, at that time of the summer we found it just to find it, now it was all a plan of Margaret, on top of that we are in danger of her doing everything bad to us, we don't even have an ounce of dignity, look at this camera, do we really have that hole there to have the privacy that we have? " Said O'Neill complaining.
" Let's not waste time now I'm without the magic seal... " Atsuko said.
The three of them sort of nod their heads in agreement, and start to concentrate, sort of trying to do a spell, only in a short time they start to feel an electric current, getting the biggest shock that makes them stop trying to use some spell, being quite painful even for the trio that ended up frying a little with the electricity.
[Voice of Margareth in a sound box: Oh I forgot to say, but my eyes are very much alive, try to use even a little magic and you will suffer, even if I am asleep, these currents detect the slightest magical presence and will trigger an electric current not only in one of you, but it will be in all three of you together]
" Oh, shit! Now how are we going to escape from here? " Complained the American until the trio suffered another electric discharge.
[Margaret: Correction, you are not going, I can hear every word you say, you better be very quiet and don't even try to plan anything, or else I can electrocute you at will, you are really barely awake and so rude, I think I will have to introduce you to Diana].
The three were getting kind of in doubt in who would be Diana, they were still recovering from the pains of the strong shock they suffered, while Margareth was walking with something by the corridors, it was possible to hear noises, until the door was opened, revealing Ford holding by a collar a half human creature, but that was all curved, with the skin literally white, the clothes was a shirt all torn, also of the white colour but full of blood stains, the creature was grunting, but then it was starting to get in a more bestial mode when seeing the girls, that were half shrunk with fear of the monster.
" You needn't be afraid, this here is Diana, now thanks to Cavendish of this generation she has now gained beautiful hair, which she didn't have before, it was just a few tufts, you see how we can work together to bring this creature to her glory " Benson said.
" That's horrendous! " Atsuko said.
" Don't talk that way about Diana, she gets offended, you don't want to join Rachel and become food for her, I kind of try to control some of my Diana's desires, but with human flesh she'll rebuild little by little, it was 10 years of torture that she endured eating rats and cockroaches, now she has the chance to have her beloved back " Said the brownish witch who walked a little further ahead.
The creature walked closer to where Diana was, she was getting more terrified to see that monster that was sniffing her, then licking her neck, grunting in a way that was less scary, where she was pushed back by her owner.
" She recognizes the smell, she won't attack you Cavendish, but her friends I don't know very well, that already shows that she sees you as an equal, anyway, I'll take her to watch the surroundings, if anyone comes close... You will become Diana's food, even more if it is Chariot, your mother or your sister since they have some of the Cavendish DNA that can be useful for the reconstruction of my beloved " Benson said.
From there she took the scary creature to the place where she stays and the three girls were getting even more scared knowing that they were going to have another hard time escaping since the creature was able to disappear with one of the girls from Luna Nova, besides that the lives of their loved ones were in huge risk.
Soon the scary English girl returned to the trio's cell using magic took an armchair to her sitting down facing them with her legs crossed and also drinking a glass of wine where she kept looking at the trio of girls.
" Why? Why all this? What did we do? " Atsuko asks.
" Well you didn't do anything but exist, you were just the ones chosen by Chariot, Croix, Laura and Bernadette to be the seal holders of the Claiomh Solais, it's not like it was your fault, it's theirs, they wanted you to never show any interest in magic for a moment just to hold me back, but then this whole thing came up, and we would say that now you can even use your magic, but they didn't want you to do that, including the one with the pulled eyes, she was put with the strongest seal so she could never use magic, their biggest fear was that I would go out to this world, but her friends' little plan didn't work out, heh... I don't know what happened exactly, but that was the intention, you are not special, you are not the chosen special ones, you were only chosen to rid the world of me, they used the staff seals because before the holder was Chariot herself, she didn't want to carry the responsibility and that's why she threw the weight today on you" Ford said laughing and giving a light round in her wine glass, the three of them were getting a little shocked with what they were hearing.
" And how are we supposed to believe what a witch who wants to use us says? " Amanda said.
" You may not believe it, but that is the truth, however painful it may be, anyway... That is not why I came to talk to you, but the reason why I arrested you, isn't it? Since you are going to be locked up for a long time I think it is good to know why your cooperation is necessary," Benson said, finishing her glass of wine.
" For your evil deeds, you want to end magic, you evil witch, that's what we wanted to protect, you're one of those cultists, you want the end of... " Akko was about to try to speak more, only to be electrocuted, along with the others.
" I am not with them, I care little for the fate of your magic or the witches, it has little impact on my life and my goals, although all that has happened has left me with more difficulties, I am not one of those cultists, I was also harmed by their presence and so I will tell you why my plans, because I need you " Margareth said.
" If you are not with them, you are making mischief with us, then whose side are you on? " Cavendish asks.
" I am on my side, simple as that, I just want your help as Claiomh Solais continues to refuse me having their power, so now I need you to reveal to me all seven words, one by one, I know that after I reveal them the staff can open the seal of the Gran Triskellion and grant me a wish and I only want one... Just one single wish... You know that creature you saw? Well she is Diana Cavendish, the body buried in the cemetery is another one, the real one was with me and I tried a mummification method before going to jail, I paid a lot, but I could see her intact after 50 years and with that I started my experiments, what I learned in jail, besides that I was rejuvenating myself with the years giving a well deserved rest, everything was going well here, under everyone's feet in Luna Nova, everything was going well, I managed to make the organs work again only that the event of 1999 happened... I couldn't get the magic available, she was left without a mind, without memories of anything, she became an out of control creature, she lost the beauty of her body, her hair all fell out, her skin was all degraded, she was a real skinny freak... I failed in the experiment, but I took it forward, I fed her as I could, I was trying to keep her alive, but all in all she just created a relationship of creature with master, she became a freak... And that's why I'm after the Gran Triskellion, I heard about it when I was going through the corridors of Luna Nova, when Chariot was already with the staff in hands, I spied a lot and got the information... In the end these are my intentions, I want the power of Claiomh Solais to bring my Diana back, you have no idea of the suffering I've been through " Said the brown haired one.
" That's against the laws of nature, you're bringing someone who died back to life," O'Neill said.
" You made a zombie, she could be dangerous if she's the loose one, why all this for just one person? We could work together for magic " Kagari said.
" All this is not justifiable when I know the true story of you Margaret Ford, my mother has told you countless times, you destroyed my family, why don't you tell how you influenced my great aunts Marie and Amelia to be terrible people, how they influenced my grandmother Clarie to treat my mother and my aunt like objects, how all the manipulation influenced my aunt Daryl to become a criminal, how all this culminated in the death of my grandmother for being blind of her ambitions, how my mothers almost died because of this aunt of mine, almost that the family split up, you are a monster, it was all your plan, you can speak, I even imagine what was in your mind, you wanted to destroy what would come after, to form a new Cavendish family next to my deceased great-great-grandmother, this all because... You've been dumped! Louise Du Nord was always what you never were! " Said the Cavendish which caused Margaret's anger to flare even more by electrocuting her along with the other three.
" And you think I don't regret it? I ended up having to kill Diana yes, if she won't be mine, she won't be anyone else's, Louise didn't deserve that happiness, she never made any effort, but I... I was beaten, I fought, I struggled, I suffered every second to be worthy of Diana's love " Said the Englishwoman electrocuting the girls and then lightening the load since they were already getting too much pain.
" You are a monster " the three of them said together.
" Monster? I'm not a monster, I'm god " said the self who then walked to the door.
" Damn... " All three said in frustration.
" Oh and Diana, you will be useful to me later, you are vital to Diana's reconstruction, so you will have the privilege of going in a slightly better cell for this afternoon " Said the brownish girl closing the door.
The trio was getting shocked, so much information was going through their heads, without having the slightest idea of where to start, the revelation of the seals, Margaret's plan, her true intentions and colours, the way she reacts in a violent way, all this at a short time being imprisoned in captivity.
" And now what? What do we do? " Amanda asks.
" I don't know, she can hear everything we say," Diana said.
" Hey... " Said Kagari hitting the wall with her handcuffs.
The Japanese woman was trying to use Morse code communication, but soon she was electrocuted, as soon as she was talking about the message that said something like "we can communicate this way, using Morse code", but it was no use, since Margaret saw and heard everything
[Margareth: When I get that I can listen and see everything you talk, Morse code is the most mangled thing you have, you won't get away with it that way, if I know what you talk about, I can decode your lines].
Then the trio turns their backs to the camera, where Cavendish uses a little magic enough to emanate lights, where they hide in a way that they can use it to communicate, through them it was even possible to make a message in Morse code, until the trio is electrocuted again "Let's use this method, she won't see or hear us", only that even hidden they were still punished.
[Margaret: Do things out of my eyes and you will pay too, it's not because I can't see or hear that I won't know that you are up to something suspicious, you will never escape from here, I already told you, you are three mere weak little witches and besides I can review everything that was filmed even when I am sleeping, so don't try to do anything stupid if you don't want to suffer pain].
" Oh, shit! Can't we at least have a modicum of dignity? We really have to do things over there," Amanda said, pointing to the hole in the ground.
[Margareth: You never know when you might slip up, it's always better to keep an eye out, soon you'll get used to it, this is a matter of doing everything to my liking, now I think you'd better hope the first word gets out, if you don't do anything right you'll suffer the worst, do you hear me?]
" All this just because you can't get a girlfriend, you manage to be more pathetic than anything " O'Neill said teasingly.
" You depend on three 16"year"old teenagers to do things for you because you're not good enough " Atsuko got in on the teasing.
" If she was that good, even Diana wouldn't have lost, she should have suffered more or learned to be a better person, then she would never be left for Louise! " provokes Diana.
The three of them end up being electrocuted by the provocation, lying on the ground crying with pain, irritating the woman herself who remains silent, leaving them suffering for a while with that pain until it passes, without enduring all the provocation, the three of them are even panting and weaker with the electric discharges suffered, but they show a smile to each other, showing that they are resisting.
And the dark captivity of Margaret is revealing what the witch herself has come to want for her plans to come true, to use the girls for the conquest of an unrequited love of a person she herself murdered, which comes to be something out of the control of the trio who have to do everything that was ordered by the cruel witch who keeps them in the worst of conditions.
See you, evil witch...
