Chapter 4: The Supreme Has Fallen Part 2
Turning the news station on, they drove on the main roads towards the highway for a couple of miles. After getting on they drove around 20 miles until getting off an exit and drove another 10 miles before hitting woodland. No one said a word during the ride. Lost in her thoughts, Cordelia just watched the trees as they passed by.
They pulled up to a two story cabin, trees surrounding the place as far as she could see. As Cordelia eyed the beautiful cabin, she turned to look at Myrtle with wide eyes. "Whoaa, who's place is this?"
Myrtle parked, and turned to meet Cordelia. "Mine dear girl, but don't worry, no one will find you here. I have a protection spell over this land. The second we drove on the property your power source was protected, no one will be able to detect your power even if they tried."
The supreme looked by at the cabin; reaching for her door. "It's beautiful."
"Thank you dear, now let's get inside, turn on the news, and get you settled. This is going to be a long day." Getting out of the SUV, she helped Cordelia with her bags as they walked through the oak finished French doors, she then placed her bags by the closet by the grand open living room; grabbing the remote on the ottoman, she turned on the news.
Zoe, Madison, and Queenie were in the kitchen talking around the small table while the tv was on in the background. They always get together after each break during the day to talk to one another about the classes they had taught and sometimes about the girls or even just about personal things.
"I like that Mallory girl, she's very smart. Zoe looked up from her laptop towards Madison. Mads, Do you have her in your class?"
"Yes, I have her in one of my classes I think." She shrugged and looked over to Queenie. "How are you and that boo of yours?"
"He isn't my boo." She moved her fingers in quotation as she chuckled and picked up the papers in front of her trying to ignore anymore further talk about her love life.
Zoe threw her pen at Madison laughing. "Oh leave her alone, Queenie doesn't need a man or a woman a matter of fact." She winked at Madison as Queenie laughed.
Zoe started to say something but something on the tv caught her eye. She read the headline on the news. "Wait! SSshhh ssshhhh!" She reached for the remote turning it up.
[Breaking News In New Orleans!] The title read. Both Madison and Queenie turned around.
[The Supreme Witch Dead In Plane Crash?]
The reporter was at the crash site; flames were in the back. "As you can see behind me, the Supremes private jet is engulfed in flames. The authorities think engine failure was the cause.
Zoe stood up dropping her mug on the ground shattering into pieces; she put her hand over her mouth as she gasped. Madison looked at the both of them shocked as well.
"Is this true?! " She got up herself and started to pace. "Oh my god oh my god" she kept repeating.
Queenie finally out of her trans, got up and walked over to the tv. "Where's Misty?!" She asked as she turned to face the others.
Zoe picked up her phone and started dialing a number while trying to look up at the tv at the same time. "We can't let Misty see thi…"
"Can't let me see what?" Misty asked as she walked into the kitchen looking at everyone before the tv caught her attention. She took in a sharp breath as she stumbled back grabbing her chest.
"Misty we don't know for sur….."
"No no no no no, this can't be!" She started to look everywhere, tears running down her face as she started to breakdown and panic. "She was just here!" She started to get loud now.
Queenie walked over to her, putting her hands on either side of Misty's arms. "We don't know for sure Misty. Cccan you still feel her?"
Misty took a deep breath and closed her eyes trying to find Cordelia's power force. She sighed slowly dropping her head low, she cried out "I I can't feel her, ssshe's gone." Misty broke again falling, Queenie went down with her and held the swamp witch as her herself was crying.
There was a knock at the door and everyone looked over down the hall besides Misty. Without opening the door, Zoe already knew who it was.
"It's the police; they're here to inform us."
Madison glanced up looking at Misty in Queenies arms. "I'll get it."
They were in the living room when Cordelia grabbed Myrtles arm as she reached for her chest with a sad look in her eyes.
"She knows." She looked up in the older witches eyes. "I have broken her." Her lips started to tremble as she started to cry again.
Though Misty can't feel her, she felt every ache in Misty's heart like a fresh wound. "Oh god, what have I done?"
"You didn't do anything my dear girl" Myrtle reached to cup the other woman's face. "This was my plan, my idea, but it was the only way. When she sees you, and is told everything, she will forgive us both."
Cordelia just smiled lightly and nodded. She honestly didn't know what the outcome was of this, Misty's pain was deep.
After a while, Myrtle headed back on the road. It was time to return to the coven, and time to make this feel very real to everyone.
Misty was lying in the bed they shared, staring at the empty space next to her. She brushed her arm across the empty space feeling the cold sheets as Madison gently knocked, and opened the door.
"You doing alright? Do you need anything?"
Misty started to sob uncontrollably when Madison rushed over getting in bed, cradling Misty "I know I know." She began to rock her.
"I love her so much, and she just left me….."
Madison stopped and placed both hands on Misty's face. "She didn't leave, she's right here with you." Pointing one finger on Misty's chest "She's with you in here." Madison was crying again.
Hell really changed her as a person, and when she came back her and Misty slowly built a trust bond with one another and became good friends.
Eventually Misty fell asleep in Madison's arms, so she slowly got up and started walking out the door when she ran right into a taller girl. She had long brown hair, and brown eyes.
"Sorry to be in the way, I was just wondering if Ms. Day was okay?" The girl asked as she tried to look behind at Misty.
"Who are you? Are you new?" Madison questioned as she closed to door behind her and locked it with a flick of her wrist.
"Uh yes sorry" The girl extended her hand out for Madison to shake. "I'm Winter, Winter Rose. I got here a week or two ago. Ms. Day was helping me get settled here at the academy."
"Oh, well there has been an accident. We will be having a meeting in a few minutes; you should get ready and meet with everyone in the main foyer." Madison walked off a little then turned around. "As for Ms. Day, don't worry. We are taking care of her." She then walked off and down the stairs. When Madison was out of sight, Winter turned around heading back to the bedroom door.
She flicked her wrist unlocking the door in front of her and slowly walked towards the sleeping woman lying in bed. She stopped right beside Misty's side and looked down at the curly blonde.
"Soon you will be mine." She let her fingers trace up Misty's thigh.
Misty shot up looking around her. She swore she felt something but nothing, no one was there. She got up and walked out to check the hallway. She heard chatter coming from the downstairs hall, so she walked and sat on the top step to listen. She heard Zoe's soft voice.
"This news hits hard for all of us. Classes will be cancelled until further notice."
Misty heard some of the girls crying and talking amongst another. She couldn't bare the talk; she just got up and went back to the bedroom.
"We will be having a service to remember our supreme in a few days after we sort some things ou…."
"What about the next supreme, the seven wonders?" Winter came out from the back.
Before Zoe or anyone could say anything, Myrtle came in from behind them.
"There will be no seven wonders test until the service for our beloved supreme is long over. As for you, you should learn to show respect for your fallen leader." She then turned to Zoe, Madison, and Queenie with tears in her eyes.
"Oh thank god you're here!" They all ran to hug Myrtle. They then separated as Madison walked over to the girls. "Okay it's bedtime, everyone go to your houses and to yours rooms. Lights out, we have another meeting tomorrow afternoon. Goodnight girls."
Myrtle grinned over at Madison and chuckled. "I'd say Cordelia was coming right out of your mouth."
"I'd say." Queenie said smiling at Madison.
"Yeah I guess she has" She smiled.
Myrtle looked over at Zoe "Where is Misty? How is she?"
