Chapter 4: Love Spell
Raven hurried along the corridor towards the elevator and the safety of her room. Behind her the sound of Robin and Shar chatting reached her ears. "So Robin what were you doing in there with her?" Shar said hinting. "We weren't doing anything" Robins voice sounded strained"Oh good" Shar giggled. "So Robin… do you want to come with me to see a movie or something?" The red robbed enchantress's voice rose louder as she said this, a part of her hoping that Raven who she knew was in earshot would hear.
She did
Spinning on her heel Raven raced into the elevator, her boots scratching on the dark floor in her haste to get away. Slamming on the door close button she sank to her knees on the elevator floor, wanting nothing but to get away before Robin said the words that she knew were coming and would break her fragile heart. Mercifully the doors shut abruptly and she was plunged into the kind of silence only found in an empty elevator.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Robin spun around at the sound of Ravens movement and saw her cloak fly into the elevator and a brief glimpse of two horrified lilac eyes. "Raven wait!" he started towards the elevator but Shar grabbed his arm "where are you going?" she asked widening her eyes into the traditional heart snaring "puppy dog" look. "Raven she's…" "Fine, I'm sure but right now walk with me" She started to slide her arm into his but he shook it off. "I'm going to see what's wrong with her" He said firmly.
As he turned the corner away from her an idea sprouted in Shar's mind, an image of a page with bright red writing on it formed in her minds eye. She grinned

As the sun set over the lake, it's last crimson rays were shinning through her window as Shar ran through her room to the bathroom door located at the end. Rushing in she ran over to the ornate blue tub and quickly turned on the hot tap. When the water had filled nearly to the top she pulled a small bag out of a pocket in her robe and threw it in the steaming waters. The bath let of a strong herbal sent and shimmered slightly. Sliding into the warm waters Shar emptied her mind and let her power over take her.
After a few moments Shar slid out of the water and walked over to the closet positioned on the wall. Reaching in she pulled out a long red dress which fell to just bellow her knees at the front but all the way to the floor at the back. After slipping it on she reached into one of its many pockets and pulled out a long chain with a silver star inside a circle on it. She quickly slung it around her neck then walked into the room barefoot.
Clearing the space in the center of the now dark room Shar pressed her palm to the floor and closed her eyes. As she slowly pulled up her arm, under it a small circular table came up. On it sat a clay disk with the same emblem as her necklace, an old fashioned glass goblet filled with water, a long stick of white wood topped with a crystal, a silver incense censer, and in the bottom an ornate double edged dagger engraved with golden runes. Walking calmly over to the cupboard she pulled out a red candle shaped like a heart and a small bowl filled with rose petals. Placing the items on the alter she sat for a moment and took a deep breath.
As the spark of excitement in her stomach grew into the fire that always signaled she was ready for magick she picked up the dagger and stood. Pointing it out the window she began walking a triple circle chanting.
"Power flow from sky to ground seal the circle thrice around!" The dagger glowed briefly before trailing a ring of spectral blue flames leaving the witch standing in a perfect circle of fire. She put the knife down and turned towards one wall. Raising her arms she intoned "Powers of earth join me here enter the circle without fear!" A green glow illuminated the corner for a second before flowing into a pillar holding up the circle. Spinning around to each corner The red sorceress went from earth to air to fire to water, ending with a four pillars, one green one yellow one red and one blue.
Picking up her athame again she slowly carved 5 letters into the candle. R-O-B-I-N. Pointing the edge at the wick it lit in a flare of golden sparks. Eyes glittering Shar continued her spell. "As this wax dose melt, you'll change what you have felt, My words make it clear, it's ME who you hold dear". With amazing speed the candle slid into a pile of red wax. But it's flame did not go out, it floated eerily above the puddle. Lighting the incense Shar began to hum an enchanting melody which seeped into the ears. The smoke swirled around her for a moment before drifting towards her door and sliding under it. Smirking Shar began the last phase of her ritual, picking up a handful of rose petals she scattered them on the pool of wax were they sparked then melted into it. "By roses seal invoke the dove, from now on I'm your true love. So Mote It Be!"
As she shrieked the last word the small puddle shivered then pulled itself up into a perfect replica of the boy wonder. As it stood there motionless the tiny flame, still burning by itself, shot down into it, embedding itself right where Robins heart would be. The wax figure raised it's head and yelled. "SHAARRR!"

"Raven let me in!" Robin stood pounding on the dark girls door trying desperately to get her to open it. He's been standing there for 20 minutes. "Robin I'm fine" Came the Raven said for the 31st time hoping against hope that he would leave her alone to her misery. She lay on her bed spread out, the violet covers rapped around her face, mopping up tears. He's nothing, he means nothing to me, I don't like him! The words had been Ravens mantra for the last half hour as she had tried to steady her unreasonably shaken heart.
"Raven let me….AH" Robins words ended with a sigh. Looking up in curiosity Raven gathered her robes around herself and glided over to the door in a swath of indigo. Pressing the key code she let the doors swing open and looked out to see what had become of her overly persistent leader. She turned her head to the left just in time to see him fall to his knees in front of a red clad Shar. "You look gorgeous" he said practically drooling on her hand, but Shar wasn't looking at him. She was leering at raven, a smug look plastered to her face. Raven felt something crack inside her.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Red lights flashed as the alarm went off. Robin looked up for a moment from his Shar induced reverie "trouble".
