POV Narrator:

The fight between Bernadette and Daryl had started and it was very different from what was expected, the magic power of the younger sister was much higher than expected, so much so that Laura and the girls were in shock, specially McLaren who felt all that power circulating through her girlfriend's sister, she noticed how it was a little bit higher than all of Bern's power, things would be very complicated for her, It would be almost a sure defeat, to be decided in a rematch the next day, but the same Irish girlfriend didn't give up for anything and continued with her attacks, confident that she would win, or at least that she would make the best strategy to beat her sister, it stopped being something more about a fight to become something personal. The older Cavendish didn't want the fight to fall to her girlfriend, she let her pride take over, even more so because Laura would easily defeat Daryl. At that moment both were constantly exchanging blows, in magic the one who won was Bernadette with all the intelligence and strategy she had in hands to beat her own sister, but in matter of absolute power and physical strength it was Daryl who could guarantee herself and she was practically a train passing over her older sister.

POV Bernadette:

Damn... Daryl when she gets close to me can hurt me a lot... I am a long time trying to hurt her more than me, but I only end up hurting myself more, soon she appears again and starts to hit a sequence of punches on my face and then one in my stomach, I take this moment to use some magic creepers that came out of the ground, holding my sister's legs and arms as well, it was time to use more complete spells, I jump back a few times and from there I start to bombard her with very powerful spells cast with a lot of power towards my sister, I couldn't lose for nothing, I kept bombarding her with everything I could, until I felt her magic disappear and reappear, she had transported herself right behind me, I managed to realize quickly and then use a spell that raises a barrier of earth right behind me, she ended up punching and was strong enough to overcome the wall, but her hand went straight past my side what I take the opportunity to grab the side and with that grabbing her I push her with all my strength with the help of my magic and so the wall breaks, then I hit her with my back as hard as I can on the floor, making her hit everything on the floor and with that I use all my strength to spin her around and throw her away, succeeding with relative success, but before my sister came back normally I was faster, carrying me well behind her and with that the knee caught everything on her back... But how strange that I'm not feeling her magic from here.

Next thing I knew, I was taken by surprise when I noticed a flash coming from behind me... It was a spell cast that caught me exploding with everything, the impact was so strong that I was thrown with everything and rolled on the ground, taking some dirt, lying on the ground next to a pile that I lifted, besides my scratches from the fall, I had many bruises, I could not use a healing spell at that moment, she was too powerful for my magic ... Will I lose? No Bernadette... Don't give up... My hands are hurting and bleeding, but that's because hers are too, just think about it... I can still do it... When I least notice, I feel something pulling me by the head, when I open my eye it was Daryl who immediately looks at me with a malicious smile which made me even more scared.

- Pathetic... And to think that's how you defeated Clarie, now you'll know what real suffering is, start begging for your life Bernadette Cavendish! - she said, all frightened.

After that time I just felt her punching me intensely, I was feeling all those punches hitting me, they were powerful, they hurt a lot, she just held me by the neck and kept torturing me, punching me in the face or in the stomach, she didn't want to just win normally, she wanted to torture and humiliate me, I also looked around and noticed how angry Laura was getting, her clenched fists showed it, I could barely see because of the punches that already left my face swollen enough, until the moment she was going to punch me again I use a shock spell that makes her loosen my neck and with that I take the opportunity to hit a kick on her chin followed by a spell that gets her right in the face making her take a few steps back a little stunned. With that I heal my face at least, I needed my vision at that moment, and with that I didn't waste time while Daryl was still stunned, I used a much more powerful spell of roots and twigs to hold her? She had no way to escape, unless she used magic, I also took the opportunity to improve and with that the roots would discharge an electrical charge each time she used more magic.

Then I jump back confident that this time I had succeeded, I start to concentrate a ball of magic in my hands aiming very focused on my sister who was very hurt, I'm using all my power possible, it was all or nothing, it was either me or her, soon she started to try to escape using magic and took a very powerful electrical discharge, which worked well, my sister would need to use her intelligence, I soon noticed that she was slowly controlling that escape and as I didn't have time to concentrate more magic I decide to cast it all at once, with that spell that catches and explodes on the spot, it was much more powerful than all that collision, to the point of making some of the trees fall with the wind and Laura used her magic to hold my family watching. It was a flash that lasted a long time and the blast wave even threw me back a bit to the point that I was watching it all lying on the ground, until the blast itself passed... It was just a cloud of smoke, Daryl's magic didn't disappear... I knew, but I had hurt her quite a bit, unfortunately at the cost of quite a bit of my own magic.

Soon I feel an earthquake... Shit, she got really mad, I could barely use so much magic to hold her back this time... I will become an easy prey for my sister, as well as a beam of purple light started coming out of that crater I formed then she appeared floating little by little... Damn she was very intimidating, those eyes emanating a deep red light around her open arms emanating rays around her hands... She was going to cast a spell in my direction... She was not even saying anything, it was certain that she was going to cast something... All that is not just for show... So I soon began to concentrate all my magic into one spell, making my aura evident, that was the only chance, it would be another collision of magical energies by the looks of it, so I soon let my magic accumulate in the middle of my hands, as well as some lightning that began to appear, little by little I also compacted even more that magic which increased more the intensity of the energy ray that would be launched, I also knew that it could kill, but her attack can also kill me, I'm already running out of my magical defenses, she already broke many times and I don't know if I'll be able to stand it just with my human body to be beaten like that. I soon notice how she only raised one hand and all that energy accumulated into a huge purple ball of energy, which emanated so much power that the rays came out of it and went towards the ground burning all around... Laura was looking at it very worried too, I think she noticed how my sister's magic was a little stronger? But still I will try, I can pull beyond my limit here.

Then comes the long awaited moment, she and I cast our spells, she starts with that huge ball of magic which was huge, the whole thing was at least three times bigger than her, if it hit the ground it would make an even bigger crater, but she kept floating in the air, that's overconfidence, you use up magic if you float in the air, I was confident that she would at least keep floating. So I released my magic energy with everything, that wave was quite powerful, but soon I noticed that when it hit the ball of magic it made it grow even bigger, I could barely look around, just that huge purple thing coming towards me as if it was going to devour me, but I continued with my hand sending what I could of my magic energy to repel the thing? I had to do it, it was a matter of defending my honor and the honor of the whole Cavendish family, but little by little it was getting closer, I didn't know what was happening, until I heard the sound of it casting another spell and it was all coming towards me, when it caught the ball it increased even more in size, getting closer to me... If it explodes I'll be pulverized... Shit! Shit, shit, shit! Shit, shit, shit! Shit, shit, shit, shit! I had no choice! I pulled beyond my limit at that point at the cost that I would be extremely injured, after that struggle, I felt all my veins and arteries burning, as if they were on fire, they bulged a bit from my arms as well as my face and so I managed to repel a bit.

POV Daryl:

I'm not going to stand here torturing my sister anymore, she's already wasting my time, I'm already hurting myself just because of this damn thing, which is still strong as hell, I can't believe how she's holding on so long, that thing is so big that I can barely see her, but soon I see my ball of magic coming back to me, which makes me quite impressed? So she is really wanting to come back to me. She must be pulling at her limit, that's right keep it up Bernadette, that's what I want, it has happened a lot fighting Clarie, with her making me pull at my limit, she knew I could be injured and almost unable to fight, I can even now see the little blue thing covering her a little, that goes on, I won't even push, you can repel it all on me... That was the idea... Then when she repels it I let myself be hit after I use a spell to create the perfect magical barrier enveloping me, as soon as the thing arrives and explodes I just feel everything, even with the magical barrier it was not bad at all... That was more than I expected shit... Shit... I underestimated Bern. Ahhhh... Damn... She's gonna... No! No! My magic is much more than that I forced my magic defenses even more, she won't beat me hahaha!

POV Bernadette:

Did I do it? I thought she was going to try to repel all that magic. Oh, good... I felt her concentrate the magic, maybe it was just a bluff so that I thought I was losing and sent more magic and I confess that I fell right in, but at least this collision will have no way for her to survive, so much so that the explosion this time happens in the air to the point of creating a huge flash then a huge ball of magic exploding like fireworks everywhere and my sister falling to the ground after all that, I looked from afar and she was with her eyes closed, still had the factor of the fall that would make her lose even more, because it could hurt a little... I think I won this time... So much so that I just stare at that crater all breathless and then I fall to my knees too tired? My body felt everything... It was a huge pain circulating through it as I pulled it to the limits of what I had... Well at least I proved myself as the most suitable to succeed the position as leader of the family and so maybe also new times will come for the Cavendish... I have faith that I succeeded this time...

But... I was wrong... Soon I feel her magic and then all that aura emanating around her, little by little walking and getting out of that crater, I also noticed how she was hurt, there were parts that were quite open and even so she made sure to continue, appearing to fight with that arm all open and hurt... Her face too, even her legs, her pants were practically all torn, so much so that she uses a spell to repair her clothes and stares at me with a malicious look, as if she was going to suck my soul and kill me? She really wants at all costs to see me on the floor. I quickly get up and get into fighting position, she starts forcing her aura and it's emanating as she gets closer until she stops and starts to focus a little, then points at me.

- Did you really think you would break up with me? You thought wrong, you idiot! I will finish you off and I will decimate you little by little, I knew you would put yourself on the edge, now you can't even walk - she said as she started to carry herself towards me, teasing me to the point of doing this in front of me, she soon started punching me constantly which threw me backwards a little.

I had no more strength left to fight on... For the nine lesbian witches I must win this! I am Bernadette Cavendish! I am the one who will change the fate of the entire Cavendish family! I will not let myself be defeated just yet! I will show that I am the most powerful and give pride to the family and as soon as Daryl came to punch me when I was on the ground I don't know what happened, it was like something woke up in me, I stopped it all in slow motion and dodged it extremely fast, then the trinity of the Diana Cavendish came into my head! They are helping me with this! Just like they did against my mother, I am being blessed by them to show that my side will bring the fourth of these Diana Cavendish! Come on then Daryl! I'll take whatever it takes.

I stood up and immediately faced Daryl, it was as if everything had suddenly turned dark, I almost thought I was unconscious and she looked at me with a little scared, I didn't know what was happening, if it was a dream because I lost or if it was real, I only know that afterwards everything went back to normal and she soon tried to hit me, I could follow everything, but that was great, so I took the opportunity to try to counterattack, I felt more agile for a few seconds, this was great, she didn't seem to punch with such speed to the point that it made her even more angry to the point that she came with everything jumping on me when she fell sitting on the floor, I even stopped on the other side and when I looked back I saw her complaining of pain and some openings that started gushing blood everywhere and with that she uses a healing spell and turns to me all angry, she starts using all her aura to show that she still had more and more power, but then out of nowhere she stops floating and causing tremors, falling to the ground on her knees and then barely getting up to the point of fainting... She had a collapse of magic... So that means...

- Bernadette! Bernadette! B! E! R! N! A! D! E! T! T! E! Bernadette Cavendish! You won, my love! Daryl is unconscious! The victory is ours! We did it! We did it! - Said Laura who ran towards me and gave me a hug from behind which makes me feel comfortable, but at the same time I feel worried about my sister, she's all on the floor, she must be in danger.

- Yes, my granddaughter, you did it! You have shown that you are the best witch! Now let's rest and take care... - Said my grandmother while I could only see everything getting darker and when I least realized I blacked out... I wasn't taking it either... That fight was the end of me.

POV Laura:

She blacked out... Poor my fluffy cabbage, I picked her up in my arms and we took her to the room, where I stayed taking care of her, Isabella kept using healing spells on the wounds, which little by little were closing up, as I washed around, and also kept stroking my victorious one, she pulled a lot today, after the wounds were all healed, including even the ones we needed to take off her clothes, like around her chest and on her ass, I picked her up and gave her a bath, while I went to take a shower too, so we got out of there already with our clothes on and I laid my girlfriend on the bed who still didn't wake up even after the bath, Isabella soon took my shoulder and smiled at me.

- My granddaughter really does have the best girlfriend in the world, now take good care of her, we are going to have a full day in a few days... You know how things are, even more with all the ritual... I'm glad you were able to beat Daryl and Clarie, now please, recover until the 31st and don't push so hard, besides that, please, keep all the discretion about the ritual, only the three of us know about it, anyway, I'll be going, anything else I'll come here to bring non poisoned food here, since I don't trust anyone here - Isabella said to me which I just nod my head and see her leaving Bern's room that was still in the deepest sleep.

POV Daryl:

I lost? Just when I had the advantage... What a damn Bernadette! Why was she blessed by the Cavendish? Those aren't normal witches I'm sure! There were three of them! One blonde, another like us with freckles on her face and another wearing glasses, all three were staring at me... Like I was fighting more than one witch... How did she manage this? That's all that breaks the traditions the most! Bernadette is a lesbian! She refused to stay here to have sex with that McLaren... But what the hell, it seems that someone woke us up, and on Clarie's side. It must have been my great aunts... with something important to do.

- Wake up you two, we've given you enough potions, you're already recovered, we both have things to tell you, we know why you both came here - said my Aunt Amelia as I sat up in bed and soon saw my mother moving and getting extremely angry.

- What is it? Why are we here? I don't believe it! You put me through this shame Daryl? Your only job was to beat your sister and you still lose! Girl, you're fucked in my face - Clarie said, scolding me as usual, I don't give a shit what she says, fuck it, I lost, so what? What are you going to do, beat me like always? I feel like answering that, but I won't, I want to see what my aunts want to reveal to us, so much so that aunt Marie interrupts my mother.

- Listen here Clarie! This is no time to be fighting! This is serious! Stop fighting for a minute about Daryl's incompetence! She pulled a better fight than you who were defeated by only two punches coming from that redhead! She didn't even take the trouble to force herself to use more than the fingers on her hand, so stop diminishing your daughter, she is much more powerful than you, to the point of almost defeating Bernadette if it wasn't for her lack of control of her magic at extreme points, but that's not what I came to talk to you about... Amelia continues - Said Aunt Marie being nice to me and it impresses me how my mother obeys my aunts much more than my grandmother, she only kept quiet because she knows it's true, my aunts even complimented me, but what the fuck.

- Laura McLaren and Bernadette haven't just come to have a friendly New Year, they have come for what might happen on December 31st, basically they know as well as we do that there is going to be a blue moon and that means they are going to try to do the family leadership ritual Bernadette wants to become the leader of the Cavendish family and that is why she has come here! She just wants you to think that they have come to spend the new year! Please Clarie, it's now or never your chance, do this ritual, stop Bernadette from getting it, if she gets that far she will get it, her heart is pure and kind, she is a powerful witch, only you two are our hope to get revenge for what Isabella did to us in 1949 when our Aunt Meredith made her the leader, she fooled us and said it was just a little nonsense, when we least realized she was no longer the leader of the family and the one in charge was our sister who was only 15 years old at the time... Think how humiliating it was for us to have to submit to her, so please, let's just stay calm, I know what we are going to do - said my Aunt Marie until my mother interrupted.

- Let's not poison their food! Or kill them! Or do anything! Not a thing! At most we will interfere with the ritual! I am not a dirty person! I have my principles and morals! Don't make me act in a dirty way, if it is to fight against my daughter at the moment of the ritual I will accept, but I will not accept to poison her, or anything like that! I have every reason to hate my daughter and all the shit she can cause, but I won't break my promise! - I'm sure my aunt and grandmother were really thinking about it, they're not stupid unlike this one... Moral fuck is my fucking egg woman! Fuck you in the ass!

- Exactly that Clarie, we won't get in the way of your morality, your promise won't be broken, but we will need to defeat Bernadette, so at the time of the ritual we have to first get rid of Isabella getting her out of the way at the time of the ritual... Laura probably won't be a problem, she can't interfere in the ritual because she's not Cavendish so it's likely that she will be waiting outside, so when the two of them leave for the ritual we get rid of the older one who is weak and then the four of us take care of Bernadette, she barely held Daryl, so she won't hold us - Said my Aunt Amelia with all her confidence until my mother stands up.

- All right! That's how it's going to be! I don't want anything to happen in a dirty way, after all I am a pure Cavendish and I don't want to corrupt myself to the point of appealing to cowardice for the leadership of the family - said Clarie who then just left the room.

Honestly my mother is going to be our downfall if she continues with this morality of being pure-hearted and the fuck all. By the nine witches, I can't believe we're going to have to fall for her plan... Until soon Clarie comes out of range and my great aunts cast a spell on the door thus showing the real plan and I liked it! I loved it! They really think like me, I love my great aunts and how they think like people. And fuck morality! They quickly smile at me and give me a silent nod which I just shrug.

- Don't worry aunts... We think together, it even seems that I'm going to continue being all moral and correct, I just want Clarie to get out of here... So tell me what do you plan for me to do? - I tell them both.

- You are the most powerful Cavendish in the house, use these days to better control your unrestricted magic power, because you never know when a fight might happen, besides that we will need your help, your intelligence is something we have been analyzing besides your intentions, you are much more apt than Clarie to occupy this position, but your energies don't allow it, so let your mother win to be the leader and try to change your energies and intentions when you become the leader - said my Aunt Marie.

- Do what you have to do and then hold Laura locked in the room, in those days we will do nothing, we will beat the enemy by intimidation and the fear they have of us, they will never trust us to eat the food here, they will spend the days locked in the room practically, they will feel pressured, Bernadette will be all finished mentally which is what we want above all. When the time comes, you attack her from behind with this... A tranquilizer dart that no magic is capable of holding, she will fall unconscious in seconds and then sleep for minutes long enough to secure Clarie's place as head of the family - Aunt Amelia said, and I just nodded.

After talking to my aunts I leave the room and only agree with them with the dart in hand that I will use at the right moment, so she will never get through the ritual and we will preserve the family at the end of it all. Hahaha! I knew my aunts always had a plan in mind, after that I went out to my room where my mother was and soon put away the tranquilizer dart that I used to leave very well hidden from my mother's things, who always looked at everything, she soon looks at me with a bit of sadness in her eyes.

- Daughter... Look you failed today, but I also failed, but whatever it is, please don't throw that failure into the ritual of head of the family, I love you Daryl... I really love you, if you really held your own against Bernadette in a hotly contested fight then I will feel a little pride, it was my fault I didn't train you to get used to all the magical power, I thought Bernadette wouldn't be back anymore at least until 1993, where I intended to train you to get used to all the magical power... look I may be a strict mother sometimes, but I do it all for the family... If I could, I wouldn't be making them perfect, but life out there is very cruel, know that I only did all this to prepare you two for the world that is so cruel and can catch you at any moment, to bear the weight of life... Unfortunately Bernadette came to surrender for the world, she got carried away by corruption and became that... You have no idea how much this hurt me, I lost my oldest to the world and I don't want to lose her to Daryl... Please daughter... I love you so much, I'm sorry for all the times I called you weak, or incapable, you're actually the best witch of all, you're the strongest of the Cavendish - my mother said hugging me. For the first time I felt affection coming from Clarie... Clarie hugged me... I mean... Mother... My mother... She still has a heart, what is this I'm feeling? No! No! I don't accept this! I don't want to be a weakling and leave... Although the aunts said that I have to leave the corrupted side of me out if I want to become the leader of the family years later, I have to leave some love... So it's okay, I accept that condition.

- Mom... I love you too... - I tell her who had her hand on my shoulder and smiles at me.

- I promise that when I return as head of the family I will no longer torture her with hard training, because now I know that my daughter is powerful, but you will need to study, girl, you only studied at school and a thing or two at home, I don't want my daughter to be just anyone? Understand that I do this for your best, when you are an adult, you will be adored by everyone around you, you will get the best husband in the whole United Kingdom, and remember that it has to be someone related to a witch, we have to keep our purity.

POV Narrator:

Bernadette and Daryl's fight was extremely intense and bloody, both fought at a very close and similar level, the younger one being much stronger physically and in magic power, enough to defeat the older one who managed to win by the most pure strategy and intelligence, besides also the great blessing of the trinity of the Diana Cavendish. The other Cavendish girls are already planning how they will end any hope of Bernadette becoming the leader of the Cavendish family, and how they will sabotage everything to make all conditions for a possible revolution in the family impossible.

See you, fighter witches...
