Since two days the demon has been banging at the wall, letting them know, it power has increased. In a day it will be the full moon. Hilda sighs, grabbing a new book. It's a diary.

"She's gone" is the first page, over and over written. The elegant handwriting telling the story.

Sabrina sleeps on the improvised bed, Stirling occasionally.

...

They can now see the cave. It's about 3 miles away.

Together they stumble, tired from walking the whole night, down a hill, more falling then walking, even Mary now showing more and more the effects of the trip. Then Zelda stumbles, her feet getting stuck in a branch, she's holding on to her companion, as she drags them both down the small hill, tumbling, rolling, getting dirty all over again. Finally the spinning stops and she lands, right above Mary, who exhales loudly. "Uff."

"Oh god, Zelda stumbles, getting of the brunette, tangling herself even more in the mess of limbs. Her hands finally grip the ground and she gets up. " I'm so sorry. I'm just so tired.", she apologises again and again, stroking her clothes, looking down. "Are you alright?" Mary looks up from the ground. "Lets take a small break. I think I need a bath and a small nap, before I can continue. There a hot fountain somewhere around here, it'll do you back wonders. She starts looking around until she finds the small pond. Zelda climbs up behind her, looking sceptically. The hot waters fume into the air so you could not see a hand before your eyes, the fog thick as a wall. She hears a splash, Mary must have lowered her body into the water. So she strips down, leaving on her underwear and slowly walks into the shallow water. It's hot, but not uncomfortably, and after the last few days have been so much colder then before, on behalf on the deep forest, she feels relaxed. Hugging her feet to her chest she asks into the void:" are you okay over there?" Mary's voice is deep and relaxed. "Yes, are you?" Suddenly self conscious she turns around not wanting the other woman to perhaps see her trough the fog. Her body has changed a lot over the last few hundred years. It's natural firmness had gone over to a few bumbs and her slender figure had changed into a body of a middle aged woman's one. She never cared truly, but remembering the slender silhouette of the woman somewhere before her she felt a bit of shame welling up. Suddenly she got out of the waters. " I think we should go." Drying of with a piece of cloth she puts on her clothes rather quickly, stumbling down the small elevation. Mary follows her after a few minutes, shaking her still dry hair. "How is she able to keep it so clean and pretty?"zelda thinks. Her own hair is wet from the water, hanging down. They then move on. "Wasn't the water heavenly?"

"Yes, I've really enjoyed it." Zelda tries to be positive. Her back does feel better. "I just wished the fog wasn't so thick." Mary winks at her before leaving her behind, walking fast down to a small black hole in a wall.

"This is the entrance to the cave." She states. "So we've made it?" Hope wells up in Zeldas Heart, her anxieties suddenly vanishing. "Yes, the easy part." Mary states. "Tomorrow is Tuesday, and the full moon. We'll have to reach the flower until midnight and come back until Thursday." "Wait, is the way that long?" Zeldas confused. "No, but the cave holds demons into them, haunting you. Most people don't make it out." She points at a few sculls casually lying in the entrance. "It doesn't want you to win." They sit down. "We should rest until tonight, then enter and then we'll see."

...

They enter together. It's dark in the Cave.

"It's a tunnel of different caves, connected by small paths." Mary's voice still sounds deep in her mind. They've built torches out of their remaining clothes, the fire lighting the stone walls, water dripping down. "We should not talk." Or else they will hear us. " who are they, Zelda had asked, fearful of what will come. "You don't want to know that." Had the cryptic answer been. Now they both moved in silence. "It will probably start around half way. First a small voice, then someone screaming. Whatever you do, don't let it win, Zelda." Mary had looked her straight into the eyes. The blue piercing deep into her soul. After half a hour Zelda thinks "maybe that's not the right way to go, we should turn around." About to turn a slender hand grips hers. Mary squeezes her hand once, walking faster. A drip of water falls down into Zeldas face running down her nose. She looks up. The ceiling is covered with creatures. Black shadows crawling over each other like arm long worms. Someone tears her face down. Mary shakes her head. She should not look at them. They cross a path, a huge bridge leases over a canyon, walking slowly over the bridge the voice grows louder. Squeezing the hand she fights against it. "****You are not worth it. " "yes I am." " You are fat and disgusting." "No I am not." Then Faustus appears before her "I'll never loved you." He says. She's passing him, dragging Mary alongside her. "This is not real. This is not real." She wispers to herself. Then Mary starts to run, stops halfway and starts climbing the railing." "She's going to jump." Zelda acts fast, running to her, trying to grab her, but she's to late. Her torch is going out. Mary has jumped. Zelda falls down to her knees. " see? You are not worth living. You are a disgrace for the coven. You ARE. NOTHING." he's right. She is nothing. She has lost everything. She won't even make it until the end, so she should just jump. "NO." She screams. "I WONT LISTEN TO YOU." she starts waking again, fighting the urge to jump. Crying, screaming. Then Sabrina appears before her. "You are not my mother." She turns around. Hilda passes her. "And not my sister anymore." They have all left her. Tears streaming down her face she tries to keep going. And suddenly it stops. No more canyon. No more Sabrina, no more Hilda. She's made it to the end. Mary awaits her there, sitting on the floor, inhaling deep. Tears streaming down her high cheekbones. Zelda runs to her. "I thought you were dead." Her arms fall naturally around the slender witch, holding her, sobbing and crying with her. Time is a weird concept. It could have been hours they stayed down there, holding on to each other, maybe it was only a few minutes, but the eventually get up, going into the last cave. On a small stone there stands a flower. On top of the round cave is a tiny hole in the dealing and right as they enter a stream of light hits the flower, making it bloom suddenly. Mary rushes to the flower, plucking it and conserving it in a small bag she has brought. They've made it.

The exit of the cave is small, climbing out they see the sunlight again. "Oh god, how long have we been in there? Zelda shields her eyes with her hand, the sun is brighter than she could remember it.

"Too long probably." Mary, starts to run. "It's a 4 miles march from here. We need to make it by dusk."
