So I'm aiming to have chapters have over 1100 words, so you guys have more content to read in one chapter. Thanks for all you reviewers out there! You guys are the ones who really keep me motivated!
Chapter 4: Ground Rules
Fiona walked through the front door and into the living room where all of the girls were. Nan painting Madison's nails, Zoe on her phone, Misty listening to Fleetwood Mac on Queenie's phone and Queenie reading a book. Fiona sat on one of the couches and didn't say anything. Though her mind was racing with more than thoughts of the upcoming baby but, exactly about what these girls were doing. Which was nothing.
Queenie looked up from her book and set it aside for the supreme. "So how'd it go?"
"Well. I'm pregnant. So you girls succeeded. Congratulations are in order for both of us."
"Thanks." Madison said while blowing on her now shiny, black nails.
Fiona pushed herself off the couch and crossed her arms. "There are some things I need to say while I am here. First off, I plan on straightening you all out as far as being a witch goes. Secondly, I plan on having all four of you harness your powers before this baby is born. I mean is this what Cordelia had you do all day? Sit on your asses and do nothing?" Nan shrugged.
"What else can we do?"
"You can use your powers, or in your case learn to use them. It's more than just saying a few words and waving a finger."
"We don't have to do anything. It's not like we're superheroes saving the world. We're just different." Zoe exclaimed.
"I guess being the supreme means nothing to you?"
"It means alot to you though, doesn't it? Because without that title you have nothing." Madison smirked
"Listen here, little girl. You have that mouth talking but your actions show me nothing. If you're so good. Light that fireplace right now." Madison didn't think Fiona would make her do something. "I'm waiting." Fiona tapped her foot. Madison turned her head to focus on the fireplace, she made the wood turn a glowing red but didn't light a fire by any means. "I didn't think so ms. attitude. What about you Zoe?" Zoe turned her head.
"Hmm?"
"Light the fireplace." Zoe focused on the fireplace but did nothing. "Queenie?"
"Madison, pass me your lighter."
"Nah ah. Not on yourself. Use your mind." Queenie also made the wood glow but nothing lit on fire.
"Your turn, Nan." Queenie turned to Nan. The fourth witch wound up getting a spark for the fire but not a flame.
"Misty?"
"Me? Oh no, no, no. I know I can't do that."
"You girls know nothing, as I've said before, and Cordelia has taught you nothing at all. I should have been here from the beginning to actually teach you something useful." Just then Cordelia came home.
"Mother, here's the prescription." Cordelia handed her mother a white paper bag containing a bottle of pills.
"Thank you Delia." Fiona smiled at her daughter.
"You should rest mother."
"You're right, I am a little tired. Can you get me a glass of water?"
"Sure." Cordelia went into the kitchen to get a glass of water for Fiona.
"You girls are going to go through some major training starting tomorrow. So enjoy doing whatever the hell it is you do on a daily basis because tomorrow that is not happening." Cordelia returned with the water. "Thank you, Delia."
"You're welcome. Now get some rest." She pushed her mother's back, nodding her head.
"I am." Fiona headed up the stairs to her room and sat on the bed, taking one pill as instructed and drinking the glass of water. Fiona really was tired. She pulled her black pumps off and slipped under the covers. Fiona quickly drifted off to sleep after taking the pre-natal pill. Although it wasn't supposed to make her drowsy, she was anyway.
"Fiona, Fiona." Fiona jumped.
"Hmmm." She blinked rapidly.
"Dinner's ready." Kyle woke Fiona.
"Already?" Fiona stretched restlessly. "Was sleeping for that long?"
"Apparently. C'mon." Kyle took Fiona by the hand leading her down the stairs, into the kitchen.
"I hope you're hungry. I cooked your favorite. Fried chicken." Cordelia laughed.
"Who would've thought the supreme's favorite was the same chicken I fried my entire college life." Queenie hated that place, but fried chicken was always good.
"Yeah, I thought you'd like calamari or caviar or frog legs. All that rich shit that real people can't afford or wouldn't eat." Misty would never even think about eating those foods. She shuddered at the thought of eating a frog. Cordelia stood from her chair at the head of the table and raised her glass filled with champagne, all the other's filled with cider.
"A toast to Fiona and the baby. May you be blessed with a healthy, smooth sailing, pregnancy."
"Cheers." All the witches sipped their drinks.
"And I'd like to propose a toast as well. To the witches of this coven and in hopes of finding the new supreme before this baby is born." Everyone clinked their glasses together.
"Cheers." And that night all of the witches of the coven knew their mission for the next nine months. Fiona especially.
Thank you for reading! And I sadly did not reach my goal :( I'm sorry if this was a short chapter, I'm so sorry for another short chapter! It's just this is the boring part of the story for me and it's not easy elongating these parts of the story. By next chapter, they should start to get decent. But reviews are always welcome and thanks for bearing with me through these redundant chapters of this story, you won't regret sticking through these chapters, especially if you're reading my other story,Family Ties of Blood, because the connection of these two stories is absolutely huge. Anyway, thank you all for reading! It's greatly appreciated!
