Frank and Hazel looked at each other. Both of them were shocked of what happened. Hazel kissed Frank. And now they were both just staring at each other.
"Uh, um, I should get going." Frank got up.
Hazel looked at him. "No. Please stay with me. Your soul mark, my mom will see it."
"Oh, right." He looked down at it. It was easily visible.
Hazel looked at the mark. She was suppose to be with him forever. She was his soulmate and now…well it seemed like they couldn't be together. But that kiss, it was nothing like she experienced before in her whole life.
She took his hand and waved her free one over the mark. Her name disappeared.
"How did you do that?" Frank asked.
"Camouflage spell. That should fool my mom until we get rid of her." She looked up into his eyes.
"That potion, it's in something more important than a standard potion book." He told her.
"Let's just say, I have relatives that use to be on the council. So my mom should have the forbidden stuff in there somewhere."
He nodded. "We shall look for it when your mother is gone."
She nodded in agreement.
Frank looked down at the floor. If she was suppose to be his soulmate, why was he being so awkward around her? They should be able to click instantly. Maybe it was their situation. She was a witch and he was her mother's spirit slave.
"Um, Frank, I'm going to bed now." She told him.
He looked back at her. "Right. Uh, goodnight Hazel."
"Night."
Hazel was looking through her mom's closet. She knew the books had to be there somewhere. And she only had an hour to search. Her mom and Frank were doing work in the garden, well mostly Frank.
She was about to give up when she saw a chest that was locked up. She easily did an unlocking spell and went to the chest. She opened it and looked through it.
There were books there that were older than her mom, older than her grandmother's mom. She looked through there and noticed found the book she was looking for.
She grabbed it and locked the chest. She took the book back to her room and hoped it had what she wanted.
She flipped through the pages, skimming them to find the right potion. Her mind was focusing on something else though, Frank.
She wished last night wasn't awkward. They were soul mates. And she's pretty sure she loved him.
She looked through the book, three times. As she was about to give up, she found it. The potion to strip away powers. Smiling, she went to work, finding the ingredients.
