Hey Guys,
Sorry I haven't updated in a few days, been really busy... But to make up for it, Ill be uploading two chapters tonight, so hope you enjoy.
Looking at the confused expression on Scott's face, Aria knows that she needs to put him out of his misery. There's so much about his cousin that Scott has just learned, and even more, that he still doesn't know... Like, why would the Demon want Maria's body so badly, that he'd possess her dad, to kill her Mom, and then have Maria kill her Dad. None of it makes any sense to Scott. He needs to know the truth, and Aria's his best chance.
''When my sisters and I, first got our powers, it was cool''. Aria is sitting in the bleachers, in the Gym. ''We didn't know much about them... But they were fun... We didn't do much, only pull pranks and stuff... We'd pull a prank on someone, and they wouldn't have a clue what was going on.. It was just innocent''.
''Wait, so you guys weren't born with your powers''. Scott, who is standing on the bottom step of the bleachers, cuts in, curious.
''We were but, they were dormant, until the last child turned 15''. Aria explains to him.
''Oh right... Carry on''.
So Aurora, worked in this local diner, part time, while she was at college, and myself and Astra used to hang out there everyday after school... We'd do our homework and stuff... So, one day we were at the diner, as usual, when this new girl walked in. Myself and Astra were at the counter doing our homework, and Aurora was making coffees... I mean, where I come from, it's pretty small, so everyobody knows everybody... So if someone's new, you'll notice... So Aurora being Aurora, decided it was time to welcome the new resident, to our little town... So, we pulled a prank... Thing is, it got a little out of hand... The next day we were in the diner again, and the girl walked in''.
''Wait, what was the prank?'', Scott asks curious.
Aria just smiles. ''That's irrelevant. Let's just say, it was really stupid and move on... Anyway''. She continues on with the story. ''Again myself and Astra were sitting at the counter, and Aurora was serving another customer. We were minding our own business, trying not to make ourselves obvious, so we didn't look over at her... But needless to say, ignoring the new girl, wasn't going to be that easy''.
Scott sits down on the bottom step.
...
Flashback...
(This is a flashback of when the witches and Maria met.)
Maria, walks into the diner, and subtly scans the place. Then she walks down the steps and heads towards the counter. When she gets to the counter, she sits down beside, Aria and Astra, but doesn't address them.
Aurora reluctantly walks over to her and takes her order. Maria doesn't order any food, just a coffee. Aurora pours the coffee, not saying anything else, then starts cleaning down the counter.
Finally, Maria speaks. ''I know what you are''.
They three girls all look at her. Aurora walks over towards her. ''I have no idea what you're talking about''.
Maria just smiles then changes the subject. ''hmmm, they look really good''. Maria notices some chocolate brownies on display on the counter... ''Oh, I really shouldn't... Oh what the hell''. Maria orders something from Aurora. ''Can I have one of those brownies please?''
Aurora looks at her, a little on edge, while getting the brownie for her.
Aria and Astra are also a little uneasy around Maria.
About a half an hour passes, and Maria is still sitting at the counter. She hasn't said anything since ordering her brownie, when out of no where, she whispers something, that gobsmacks the sisters. ''So, how long have you guys had your powers''.
The three girls look and her both shocked, and a little freaked out.
Maria pauses for a moment, letting them sweat, then breaks the silence. ''Don't worry... I'm one too''. She just smiles.
...
Back to the present.
''So, that was it... We all became great friends with her after that''. Aria concludes.
''Okay... But what happened? I mean, there was a lot of tension, between Maria and Aurora''. Scott asks intrigued.
''Maria's hunt for answers, of course led down a dark path... When she discovered the Demon, someone was bound to get hurt... And''. Aria pauses for a moment. ''And that someone was, Lee... Aurora's boyfriend... The Demon sent a message... And someone had to pay the price... Aurora has never forgiven Maria for that... In her eyes, Maria should stopped it''.
''Then why didn't she?'' Scott asks in awe.
''She couldn't... It wasn't Maria's fault... Nor Aurora's but'',.
''Aurora still blames herself... And that's why, she's weak to the Demon''. Scott assumes.
Aria just nods her head. ''So now you know''.
''Yeah... There's just one more thing... Why is Maria, so valuable, to this Demon?''
''That's simple... Power... Maria's power is never ending... And with power like that... You become never ending''.
Scott just looks at Aria, with a vacant look on his face. Because at this point, he has no idea what to think.
So that's it, short I know... But as promised the other chapter will be up straight away. hope you all enjoyed.
