Chapter 19
Shane picked up a baseball bat right as Amelia reached the front door.
"There's no need for that." She looked at him. "You must be Shane. Hello. My name is Amelia." Shane's jaw dropped. "You can put that away." She motioned to the bat. "I can assure you, you wont need it."
Amelia walked right past everyone and up the stairs. I heard a faint click and knew she entered the hidden room. We followed her. "I think you have some questions," She called down when we reached the room. The son's joined us and I noticed that all of them were fine. "I have some as well, as it happens, and it would be prudent if we indulged each other. If not, then of course you are free to go-but I warn you Oliver is not happy."
Everyone was quite for a moment. "You have a question." Amelia said to Shane.
"How did you get in here? No one else could."
"This is my house. I built is, as I built several such in Morganville. The house will defend me against any enemy human or vampire."
"But the spell Claire did?" Caleb asked.
"It does not apply to me. I am bound with your Covenant. Which is why I come to you today for a favor."
"The book?" I asked. Amelia nodded.
"Yes Claire. I came for the book, and in return you and all that reside in this house will receive my Protection for as long as you should choose to have it. This will cancel any lesser contracts you might have made. Such as the one with Brandon."
"What about the Covenant?" Pogue asked
"My contract with the Covenant is still binding. You are under my protection no matter what. The Covenant of Silence have held up their side as I will do."
I looked at the Son's one by one. All of them nodding their head at me. I let my eyes bleed black and the book appeared in front of me floating mid air. I grabbed it and reached it to Amelia.
"Thank you." She stood and for some reason kissed the top of my head. She looked over at Caleb then left the room. Caleb and I exchanged looks not know what that was all about.
I snapped everyone out of their daze. "We need to take care of Chase once and for all." All the son's agreed. I told them about what I had planned. We found a clearing and I got everything ready for Chase.
The five of us stood in a circle ready to summon Chase. In the middle of us was a bowl with some herbs. I took my athame and sliced my palm and let it drip into the bowl.
Powers of the covenant rise
Course unseen across the skies
Come to use who call you here
Come to us and settle here
Blood to blood I summon thee
Blood to blood return to me
There was a glowing of the bowl and I stepped back with my brothers. Not five seconds later Chase appeared before us. Everyone's eyes were black. Chase went to draw his power but couldn't. I had a pentagram draw with different symbols with in to keep his power at bay.
I had candles set up at the five points. Yellow-east, Red-south, Blue-west, Green-North, Purple I held. I walked around and lit them starting with Yellow. "Air Love, Fire Knowledge, Water wisdom, Earth truth." I then stepped into the center with Chase and lit the purple candle. "Spirit power." I looked into Chase's eyes and he actually looked scared for once.
I sliced one of his arms to get his blood on my athame.
"Evil is a faithful foe, but good does battle best
We witches will with these words
Waste the warlocks evil zest.
Hell threw you from its inner core
But earth wont hold you anymore
Since heaven cannot be your place
Your flesh and blood we now erase."
Chase doubled over screaming in pain. It was like and ascension all over again. Only it was destroying Chase. I took my athame and drove it into his chest. All of a sudden a thick mist came and surrounded us. Chase disappeared right in front of me along with the mist.
