POV Narrator:

The first night was spent in the Cavendish family residence, what had been a tremendous tense night, since Laura and Bernadette were in constant fear of Marie and Amelia plotting something against them, like poisoning the food, or even harming their sleep, so much so that they barely left the room, staying only in that place for the rest of the day, which wasn't too bad for the couple that took advantage of all that to make as much love as they wanted in that place, They were so well prepared for that situation that they even took some food for themselves in their luggage, so they prepared a romantic dinner in that room, including a cheese fondue with bread and grape juice, since they didn't drink anything. Clarie and Daryl, the older Cavendish only focused on healing all her daughter's wounds at once, so that she would be fully recovered from the training, besides that she would come back stronger, forcing what she could and couldn't to leave the girl in that state, besides that she would wear normal fighting clothes, which would already give a huge jump in power since both trained with weight and restricting magic, The older one restricted less magic in relation to the younger one since she was extremely confident of the victory she would have, thinking it would be very easy, even more so because she wanted at all costs to face Laura to get revenge for her daughter, to defeat the witch blamed for leaving her in that condition, in her logic.

Saturday, December 29, 1990

The day of the fight arrived, both girls are getting ready for the event that morning, Laura and Bernadette's couple, are just getting everything ready to face both girls, since after a lot of teasing the day before there was no way to escape that fight was imminent to happen, by all means it would happen and there was no way to escape, It was the great destiny of the family after all, a defeat could cost the ruin of all the Cavendish, the two put on very discreet clothes, with sports pants and a tank top with a fireproof top and magic underneath, since they could burn the clothes during the fight due to the spells that were cast by Clarie and Daryl. And they also put on fighting shoes that were more like boots, but gave them more agility when moving, and a jacket over them because it was extremely cold outside and they didn't want to get hypothermia on the fighting side, plus hits usually hurt a lot more when they are hit in the cold, so this made them both prevent themselves from all that. Daryl and Clarie also put on similar outfits, with both of them going more with camouflage suits as if they were going to war, while the lesbian witch duo opted for a more understated look wearing an Abidas ensemble, which would be good for striking.

POV Bernadette:

Although I am the first person to be against violence and this kind of fight, I think that there is no escape from it, it will be a necessary evil, even more so because there is no escape from all the violence that is devastating my family... Well, at least I have to keep confident, calm and above all not be extremely anxious and scared to death... Fear I can have, which is what controls me so that I don't die, but what I can't do is to let it take over me to the point that my psychological state is destroyed? And come on Bern, you've defeated your mother before, it's not the end of the world, I'm much more trained than I was that time, I went through real training this time... If having sex between training sessions can be called training since both Laura and I are a little too perverted to get to that point of having sex every single day... Although... We are still like that... But let it go... At least we were lucky to make love yesterday before our periods started... Fighting with colic would have been a terror... We were lucky in this one, well, let's go, I know it's only one fight... Of many yet, but it is to fight so that I can have peace in this place, it is to fight so that our history is not erased... In this reflection, while I was bandaging my hands, Laura hugged me from behind, passing her hand around my waist and I thought it was very cute? She was feeling the worry and also wanting to worry me.

- Don't worry love... If we lost today we won't give up... We'll come back the next blue moon even stronger and we'll do it until we save your family, since your mother can't talk... But relax... Today we can do it, I'm confident that we will, that your mother will leave us alone at least for now and so we can do the family leader ritual without her noticing, if she even knows that we came for this or about this ritual - Laura said comforting me, and I felt a little better? I admit, Laura's hugs are always an extra comfort in my life... That cute little freckle.

- Without a shadow of a doubt my love... She does know about the ritual, but not that it can be performed in three days, but anyway, let's go for this fight once and for all, the time is coming - I tell her that she continued hugging me, I even felt her face touching my back... As if she were leaning on it... How sweet... I love this girl... She is always my safe harbor.

POV Daryl:

What the fuck! My sister had to come back just now, I didn't expect this, a little bit actually, but it was back in June when she had just graduated, since there would be enough reason for her to come here, she is already 18 years old and Clarie's authority doesn't work on her anymore, this girl doesn't lower her head for anything? This could be something bad, I am totally sure that she didn't come here just to talk and visit us, it would be stupid, it would be a tremendous waste of time, this woman who is our progenitor is all stubborn, she doesn't change her mind for anything in this world besides thinking she is the owner of the reason, so I'm sure she just came for something more, she must be trying to do the ritual of the head of the family? But when is it going to happen? Well whatever it is I don't care if she fucks up, even if she beats us she will never manage to do the ritual, we find out and interrupt, of course I will do everything to prioritize that the one who is the leader is my mother, because then who knows with her authority, she will force my sister to leave this redhead and on top of that force her to marry someone I would love to see this, or not ... Because if not she might end up having offspring... That sucks, whether she wants it or not her lineage still has more priority than mine... I just know that now it is only a matter of time for this fight, I soon finished getting dressed and Clarie came to me.

- Look brat, this is not a walk in the park, this is not a joke, this is a serious fight, for the honor of the Cavendish, don't let for anything in this world that victory get out of our hands, it's our chance to expel the girls from here... Know this well... Well, I will face the girlfriend of Bernadette, she seems to be stronger just by the magical presence I could feel that, besides the physique of a runner she has, that arm is not pure fat, I will not underestimate an opponent like that, as you are the weakest blow up the face of your sister and make your mother proud ... If we win this one we'll stop training for a whole week and mom will even be nice enough to make ice cream for dessert... You are the future of our family my girl, so get your hands dirty and let's rub those two damned bitches' faces in the grass - Clarie said all motivated... Wow, now I could even call her mom in my head, it seems that she stopped being less of a bitch, but what an evolution... Wow... She is less worse, fuck you... I really hope that redhead is strong, I want to see my mom get beaten, besides I want to leave them both on the floor and take all the credit for this victory, little does Clarie know... But I'm already far beyond her, nobody told me to torture myself, now that I'm without those tortures my body is unrestricted, I can feel that my magic will be immense, I could take them both down at once, but I will fight like brains, I know how important a victory like this is for us.

- Thank you mom... I will win this fight for sure, I will make you proud... - I say to her already a little embarrassed, just waiting for this fight.

POV Narrator:

It was one hour away from the big fight between one side and the other just for a silly reason which was only with the mission of making them spend the week in peace and along with it the New Year's Day, which Clarie still didn't understand the reason why they were there, thinking that maybe it was just because of the Scottish New Year that has a whole party involving it, but in fact it was because of the leadership ritual that the girls would do well at that moment, while the fireworks were fired, they were assuming the leadership of the Cavendish family. The hour soon arrives, the four of them were gathered outside the mansion, along with them were also Marie, Amelia and Isabella just watching that imminent duel between women.

POV Laura:

I just stared at Clarie, soon she came to me from Bern's sister's side, probably she will define how she will follow this fight, she can be a real bitch, but at least she can even have some standards and be a person who follows morals... As ironic as this is, she really is that way, good that she is, as soon as they arrive the two of them face us and soon the cabbage's mother starts talking.

- Listen well here Laura McLaren, this will be a fight one against one, the first will be me against you, let's see if you are all that against a lieutenant colonel of the council of witches of the Weddinburgh barracks, I am the most powerful of my division, you are here facing a witch trained by the army, do not think to underestimate me, look at the honor you will have to fight me. Now the two sisters will define who will win. In case we draw one to one there will be a rematch, but this time it will be two against two, and there will be no way to hold the teamwork between me and Daryl ... So... Do you accept my conditions? - Said Bern's mother all thinking, I don't care much for her, it doesn't matter what the fuck position she is in the witches' army, if I take her down that will be shameful, losing to an 18 year old girl who runs on broomsticks... Besides it will only show us how unprepared we are against a war... In case those Lhotus cultists show up.

- Right! - I say to her with all conviction and then we soon waited for Bern and Daryl to leave the front, this would be a decisive battle, as soon as they left she started to stretch her body as I did too, then she stepped on the ground and started to face me with all the intimidation to my side, I just kept my seriousness, she started to increase the magic power, but I stayed the same... She is quite powerful I would say... It could make for an interesting fight.

I continued in the same position but soon she started to put her hands up and add magic, as soon as she finished she cast a spell that caught me with everything, I continued in the same position, I waited to get very close and as soon as it arrives almost in my body I just take my right hand and shoot a ball of magic that makes it all explode and with that a curtain of smoke appeared, in the middle of it I found Clarie appearing from nowhere, she thinks that the surprise effect is going to result in something, well now let's analyze calmly her fighting style, it must be very similar to Bern's I'm sure, she started punching and kicking me and I just dodged with extreme ease, she may be all muscular and tall, but she is not agile at all, I could dodge with such ease that I could even roll... But I won't do that because I'll be mocking the opponent and the last thing I want is to face someone angry right now, better just to give her a hard time. I also looked around and they were all watching, some scared, because I was managing to keep up.

After so many exchanges that she was trying to hit me, she concentrates her magic and casts a spell that I let myself be hit, just to test her magic level, which left me a little disappointed, it was high, but not so high as to penetrate my magic defense field, so I escaped unharmed, but soon I felt a punch hit me, again did nothing, stopped at my invisible defense field, but was very accurate almost in my face, not to think that she hit me I soon use my magic to transport me and I appeared a little away from the fighting zone where I stood with my arms crossed just waiting for her. Until she made the smoke dissipate and looked around somewhat enraged.

- What? How is this possible? A fast witch like that is humanly impossible! I hit your face! Stop playing with me and come fight - she said angrily after noticing that I wasn't any closer, so I concentrated all the magic on my right index finger just to see if it would really do anything, kept my arms crossed and then she came all the way to me.

As soon as she got close she tried to throw a punch and I dodged it like it was nothing and it went straight past my side which made the girls around me even more shocked, Bern's mother turned around and tried to punch and kick me and I continued to dodge just moving my body keeping my arms crossed with my finger still raised, until I uncrossed my arm and held her forehead using my middle finger and then I hit a slap on her forehead that flew away and then fell rolling on the floor, I then transported myself and sneaked up behind her who was trying to get up and with that hit Clarie in the back of the head with all the magic I concentrated on that finger, just a single explosion of nothing, which raised a lot of smoke and dust, I soon transport myself out of it and just walk with my hand in my pocket as if nothing had happened going towards Bern and the Cavendish who were in shock. I wanted to end this as quickly as possible, I don't want to give them the opportunity to analyze me and discover my full potential, this is giving these two a chance to know where my limit is, as I used only a part of my magic so I'm relaxed about it.

- What? How do you think you won? Is this overconfidence? You underestimate Clarie! She's a lieutenant colonel, a teenage witch like you could never beat her! - Said one of the older Cavendish women who was angry until I just smiled at her and sat down quietly in my chair.

- So why aren't you feeling her magical presence? I hit her exactly in her spinal region, I short-circuited Clarie's nervous system, she won't wake up for at least an hour, the impact was very strong and I even took it lightly, now go and trim your niece, the poor thing is on the dirty floor - I tell them that they still look disbelieving and furious.

- No! You must be... - Said the other that is just like her until I hold out my hand to all that dust and smoke to dissipate and there was Bern's mother all stretched out on the ground bursting on the sidewalk, the two were dumbfounded and surprised, went running to see how the niece was and then took her to us the same was just pampering and would not get up so soon.

- Well now you believe me... Now let's go to the attraction of the day, Bern versus Daryl, what are you waiting to fight? Just wait a little while and I'll give my cabbage some emotional support - I tell them until I pick Bern up and we go a little further away from the Cavendish so that they don't hear us. This girl has no idea how strong we are too.

- And then love, from what I've seen then I can take it easy on my sister I'll beat her - said the cabbage until I give a little snort.

- Not so much, Clarie is actually the weaker of the two, I feel that Daryl has a latent and hidden power beyond our comprehension and she must have learned how to mask this power, she is not stupid at all, I don't know why, but I feel a very bad energy coming from your sister, as if she kept something from us, so don't be too confident, fight seriously, measure your opponent as you always do, don't underestimate your sister and even if you lose I will be here to guarantee our victory in case you want a rematch tomorrow and another, don't give the two of them a chance to analyze you, I have strong suspicions that your aunts grandmothers want to analyze our potential - I tell my cabbage with my hand on her shoulder who just nods her head.

POV Bernadette:

Great, now it's my turn to fight... I am against violence, but this will be enough to put an end to it... Well about what Laura said about analyzing the potential, I am calm, my aunts do not know how to measure these things and hardly know how to feel the magic potential, at most they control here and there their potential, but it's no big deal, after all I will try to see what Daryl is capable of and will fight the way I always fight, the most pure strategy, so let's go there, because things are going to catch fire. I soon head to the arena as well after giving my freckles a kiss and then she and my grandmother are watching and cheering for me while my aunts and grandmothers do the same and cheer for Daryl, now that things are going to start.

- Finally here Bernadette... Now I can break your face and I am allowed to do so, you have no idea how many years I have waited for this moment, 15 years and finally I am here and I can sink the face of my sister who was so spoiled these years, I know that your redhead girlfriend can make sure with me, but still I admire the attempt of you ... But before the fight, tell me why you came, it was not to visit us and that I am sure - she said trying to get something out of me Spoiled? Who was very spoiled are the McLaren, they are spoiled by their mother, there is real affection there... I practically did everything against my will to be perfect, I hate that... I am not spoiled, I suffered years in an abusive family, I received attention only because I was seen as a trophy...

- I won't tell, not even if I lose, it's none of your business Daryl, now let's get this over with - I say as I get into a more fighting pose, my sister just got angry, almost gritting her teeth and clenching her fists.

Then she starts to open her arms concentrating all the magic, I noticed how her eyes even started to emanate a red light at the same time that her aura turned a purplish color, she really corrupted herself, this is the magic of a Cavendish who surrendered the energies of hatred and pure greed for herself, she really changed for the worse? And soon I felt all that magic power and I was shocked, it was very high, and it kept increasing, I had to keep an eye on it myself, until she stopped screaming and soon started to gesture a spell that made some snakes go in my direction and I quickly start to react taking my wand and making a familiar unicorn appear and with that caught all the snakes impaling them with its horn, but soon I notice that Daryl appeared behind me and with that he started to shoot purple balls of magic in my direction I had to transport myself and when I changed direction thinking that she didn't notice while throwing the balls of magic the same one appears on my side hitting my face with everything.

- You came with all this? - She said underestimating me, and I quickly reacted by hitting back with another punch right in her face and then we started a fight, only that our punches met, it hurt a little, but at the moment I didn't feel it, the hands met with punches, the kicks also until our hands ended up getting into each other at once with open palms and with that we started pushing each other as hard as we could.

We started to increase the magic power, our auras met and were also facing each other, I noticed how in Daryl she was with an expression of purest hatred, but at the same time I also noticed a little pain coming from her when she increased even more the magic power, I tried to keep up using more magic and she pulled more, with this she pulled more until with this she releases the defense with everything and this was my gap, I hit a punch and then a volley with both feet that made her be thrown back. With my two hands I concentrated a spell and with this I launched with everything towards her the light blue ball of magic that exploded with everything, I even got a little out of breath, I couldn't imagine that Daryl was so strong, but soon I am caught by surprise being hit in the back by her, it was an explosion of a spell and when I turn around she hit me in the stomach with the same two feet volley that I gave her... only it was much stronger to the point of throwing me backwards a little, I was being thrown backwards and when I saw her she elbowed me in the face as she moved in front of me and started bombarding me with spells... I am in a very complicated situation, I had no idea that Daryl was at that level? Wow, what a brutal fight... She really doesn't want to waste time.

After all that bombing I felt everything I only saw smoke and nothing else, besides a pain that was being felt a little bit, I didn't imagine so much for that one and with that I stood up and soon made the smoke dissipate, I looked at my arms and noticed that my jacket was all torn besides noticing some bruises, so I take it and open the jacket taking it off and throwing it to just make a little style in that fight, even though I am already a little hurt.

- Hahaha! Do you still intend to fight? That's great! I really want you to fight! Don't ever give up, I want to make you suffer everything I've been through! - She said until Daryl carried herself right in front of me, but this time I wasn't so merciful and immediately punched her in the face, then I started to give a sequence of blows, but in the middle of it she started to be able to defend herself gradually, I also noticed that my fists were bleeding? Damn, she doesn't even get hurt, she holds one of my hands, but with the other I cast a spell very close to her face that explodes making her stunned.

That left me with the gap... I attack her with a sequence of blows that will save magic or I cast a spell... Ah goes the spell sequence I don't want to waste magic now that she is not even hurt, it will have no effect, so I use magic to propel me with everything hitting a two-footed volley and so she gives a few jumps back holding her hand on her stomach and spitting a little, I hit a punch on her chin and cause the defense in her stomach to open and with that I use a little magic with my punches hitting her fists accelerating with what I could and I just after shoot her stomach with my fists, I give a kick to the face that catches my sister's face and I start to give a possible sequence of kicks while concentrating a ball of magic that I throw after some kicks given to her which catches with everything in her stomach and makes her be thrown a little away, with this I start to concentrate a little magic... I knew I shouldn't go easy on Daryl, she is stronger than I thought.

I was already panting, when the smoke dissipates I notice that Daryl was a little hurt too, her forehead was bleeding, her nose too, besides some bruises and tears on her clothes and with that she starts to get even angrier and concentrate her magic with everything, I noticed that she was holding a purple energy ball in her left hand so I started to concentrate some of my magic too, into an energy ball... But soon she launched it, I did the same and with that I see that it was a whole wave of energy that she intended to unload on me... What generated a collision, each one of our sides had to hold it, she started with the advantage and little by little I saw it all returning to my side, the worst is that I tried everything to throw more magic and hold it, but it was too much magic, I had no choice ... I couldn't hold on not to go with everything, so as soon as she sends more magic I just give a call and go with everything, casting my magic on top of that collision that comes back with all the power towards my sister... It was huge magic, I hope all that didn't kill her.

When it hit my sister that magic exploded making the biggest flash along with a bang, besides appearing a dome of the explosion and then shrinking to the final explosion that made a mushroom cloud, it seemed almost a nuclear explosion so strong, the wind was pushing the trees around and the girls were holding on not to fly away, I did the same trying to keep firm with my feet ... After the explosion a crater was formed along with a cloud of dust... I think I won... It was a tight battle, but I did it... Hehe... I was already panting because I put my magic with everything at that time, but soon all that smoke dissipated and I was in shock, then jumping out of that crater was Daryl who was extremely angry staring at me, I noticed that her clothes were torn all over, so much that she took off her coat leaving only her top, and also her face that was very wounded... Wow... She is really a worthy opponent.

- Damned! Damned! But at the same time I think it's great! I finally get to fight with someone... Not bad Bern, but that's not even all I have to offer yet! I wasn't mutilated by my mother all these years for nothing, I still have a little surprise to give you - she said as she started to stretch and then slowly walked towards me while opening her arms and her purple aura emanated around her... I just continued in a defensive position... I don't think I can now follow through on the strategy I did against my mother... She is pure strength... This girl is a monster.

She soon started to move in my direction but I could still see her, it was just a way to deceive, I then started to do the same, but in the end I got the worst of it with a knee that she gave me in the stomach and that alone made me spit up a lot of blood, she was fast and powerful, I even tried to move, but soon I started to take a sequence of blows that I barely noticed, she was much further away than I could understand... That girl was a real monster... a real war machine, until I was able to react by using a magical force field that repelled her away a little... Those blows hurt a lot, I would not guarantee myself with my hand against her, so I will guarantee myself with magic.

See you, sister witch...
