After the meeting, Wicca waited until nightfall to initiate her plan, Thanks to a little magic, Wicca made herself invisible and was heading for the library.
She and Faybelle divided up their responsibilities. Faybelle was going to spy on the other students and see what they were up to while Wicca tried to find the spell book she needed.
Faybelle warned her about the Evil step-librarians. They were not only former villains but they had eyes in the back of their heads.
The door was locked, so Wicca muttered a spell to unlock it and she snuck into the library.
Wicca made sure she didn't walk too loudly. You never know when someone could be nearby trying to sabotage your plan.
The witch made it to the future villains section. She skimmed through many rows of books.
It didn't take Wicca long to find what she needed. She found three of the right spell books;
'Magic Consumption Vol. 1 and 2', and 'Becoming Your Inner Beast'
With her books in hand, Wicca hurried out of the library and went back to her room. She opened the books and read carefully.
Wicca was a fast reader ever since she was a little witch, so she finished them faster than you can say 'Ready, Set, Read.'
The first thing Wicca needed was something to feed that Daring Charming to transform him into a beast. But what? It had to be something that enticed you to consume...
Wicca thought back to how the Evil Queen put Snow White to sleep with the dreaded poisoned apple. Evil poetry at it's finest. Oh, how she would love to poison Apple White and be the next Evil Queen...
An apple would be too obvious, but this Daring seemed like a real numbskull. Perhaps...a candy apple?
"YES! A candy apple! Brilliant!" Wicca grabbed her broomstick and zoomed out her window.
In the Dark Forest, Wicca landed in front of a dismal, foul-smelling swamp.
"Excellent..." Wicca hissed. Potion making always brings out the wicked witch in her. "Now, for the ingredients."
Wicca took out the spell book and checked the recipe to make someone a beast. She needed a bundle of nettle, thorny vines, the fur of a savage animal, and one rose petal.
Wicca blinked at the last part. She checked the recipe again.
"A rose petal?"
Why would something pretty like a rose petal be in a potion like this? Wicca shrugged it off and began her search.
The young witch ventured through the Dark Forest, searching for her ingredients. She breathed in the night air that made her cape flow so wonderfully as she soared through the terrifying woods. Wicca felt right at home in the Dark Forest.
Everything was filled with foreboding mystery, deplete of cheer and hope, and who knows what evil lurks from within the shadows?
Wicca smiled. "What a beautiful forest."
ROOOOOOOOAR!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Surprised by those horrified screams, Wicca followed them to see what was going on. Her surprise grew when she saw Raven and Ginger running from something huge.
Wicca's eyes bulged out when a giant black bear came charging out of the bushes. It's amber eyes glowed with bloodlust, it's long, black claws were sharp and ready to slice something in half!
Raven and the girl were trapped at a dead end.
"RAVEN! Do something!" Ginger screamed.
Raven appeared hesitant. "I know but...I don't want to hurt him!"
The bear cornered the girls and raised his giant paw to attack. But a green hand grabbed his paw and threw him aside like he was a sack of nothing.
Raven and Ginger's jaws dropped when Wicca landed in front of them and aimed her broomstick at the bear.
"Wicca! Get out of here!" Raven said.
But Wicca didn't listen. The bear got back on his feet and roared before lunging at Wicca.
Wicca charged up her broomstick with magic, it was set alight with green. Wicca jumped up in the air and with a mighty swing, clobbered the bear across his face.
The bear was sent flying and crashed into several trees. It laid on the ground, defeated and out cold.
Wicca stood powerful over the wreckage, her enemy vanquished.
"Wicca!" Ginger ran up and hugged Wicca. "You saved us! You took down that bear no sweat!"
Raven was in such awe. "Wicca...that was amazing! You saved our lives!"
"Yeah, but don't tell anyone." said Wicca. "I've got an evil rep to keep up."
Wicca can't admit to saving someone, that would make her a goody goody, the very last thing she wanted to be.
But then, Wicca spotted a swan flying above the trees. A swan would never be in a forest like this.
It had to be...
Wicca pointed her magic finger and blasted the bird.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The swan became Duchess Swan and fell to the ground, burnt to a crisp.
"Duchess!" Ramona Badwolf leaped out of the shadows. She got on her knees to help her partner.
"WHAT. Is going on?!" Wicca growled, her eyes glowing and broomstick clenched tight in her fist.
Duchess coughed out the smoke from her lungs and glared at Wicca. "Well, if you must know, Ramona and I, mostly me, were going to get an A on our project and YOU ruined it!"
"What do you mean, Duchess?!" Raven demanded.
"Well, thanks to my killer spying, I knew you and Ginger were going to the Dark Forest to get midnight leaves for some evil food spell." She rolled her eyes. "So, we lured a bear to come out and attack you for our project!"
"How could you two do such a thing?!" Ginger huffed. "That's low! Even for a General Villainy project!"
Ramona scoffed. "Don't look at me. I thought my plan of putting ogre sweat in Headmaster Grimm's coffee was way better."
Duchess smirked at Wicca. "And since you, the not so wicked witch saved Ginger, a good witch. And Raven Queen, a princess, you're gonna get a DG from Mr. Badwolf!"
"DG?" Wicca echoed.
"It means 'Do Gooder', and it's the lowest grade in General Villainy." Raven said.
Unfortunately, Duchess kept gloating. "When Mr. Badwolf finds out, you are sooo gonna-HEY!"
With her magic, Wicca took Duchess's phone out of her hand and into the witch's clutches. She engulfed it in green flames, burning it to a pile of black dust.
Wicca leered her eyes at this evil ballerina and held out her hand.
WHOOSH!
A magical, green mist began to swirl in Wicca's palm.
Duchess, Ramona, Raven, and Ginger all gazed at the swirling magic, they couldn't look away.
"You are getting very sleepy..." Wicca said, her voice deepened.
The girls stood frozen with glazed expressions on their faces. Wicca was using a hypnosis spell. "When you wake up, you will not remember what happened here. You will not remember doing anything on this night. You will not remember me saving Raven and Maddie. You will not remember me destroying Duchess's phone. And you will not do anything for the General Villainy project. You will fail and accept it. Now, go back to your rooms and get into your beds. When you wake up, all will be forgotten."
They nod.
"When I snap my fingers, you will return to your dorm rooms."
Wicca lowered her hand and snapped her fingers. The entranced girls turned around and silently walked back to the school. Then Wicca used her all-seeing eye to scan the entire forest to make sure no one else was watching.
The coast was clear. Wicca went to the lying bear and clipped off a clump of hair. Wicca then searched the rest of the forest and found thorny vines and a bundle of nettles no sweat.
But there were no roses.
Wicca had to put the rose on hold. She flew back to the swamp, waved her hand and a big, black cauldron appeared before her and scooped up a huge heap of swamp water.
With most of her ingredients in tow, Wicca flew back to her dorm room through the window and locked everything in her trunk.
It was almost midnight and Wicca needed to get some rest. With a snap of her fingers, Wicca wore a long black nightgown with green lace. She slunk into bed, exhausted.
"I really underestimated the villains here." Wicca sighed.
To think that Duchess girl could be that evil. Not only that, Raven will have no memory of her being saved by a new friend...
Worn out completely, the young witch closed her eyes and fell asleep in an instant.
