Hi, Jackfrostforever here. Sorry it took me so long. I had a lot of stuff to do and I ha writers block. I hope u understand. DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE BLACK CAULDRON OR ITS CHARACTERS EXCEPT THE PLOT AND SCARLETT. AND I AM REEDITING MY FIRST ONE.
My English teacher, Mrs. Decker, came into class with a creepy-looking stranger. "Alright class," said Mrs. Decker. "This is Mr. Cree from Perdain Industries and he has an announcement to make. I want you to be respectful to our guest. Am I clear, Miss King?" I mocked saluted her like always. To be honest, I would rather go find my birth parents then sit around here and learn things that I already knew. Come on let's face it, I'm a prodigy and my IQ is about 160 points. I am so close to graduating and leaving this place for good. "Thank you, Mrs. Decker. I came here because my employer, Mr. King, would like to hire an intern for one summer from the senior class. You have to be at least sixteen to apply for it. Unlike other companies, we only hire interns by essays answering one topic. They have to be turned in to your teacher in a couple of days. Any questions?" That perked my interests real well. Your see; Perdain Industries is company that handles DNA tests for situations like custody battles for court, heritage, things like that. If I became an intern there I can submit my DNA to find my family and be away from the crazy love-struck witch. I quickly raised my hand and asked, "Yeah, what's the topic Creeper?" Everyone laughed thinking it was a joke when I was being serious about the topic part. What surprised me was that Cree was laughing too. He calmed a little and answered, "The topic is the origin of Perdain industries' name." That made my chances a lot higher because my guardian told me all about Perdain. It would probably take me a couple of hours if I don't have any interruptions from work and home.
School was finally over for the day and now I have to get home and help at the shop/home. You see my guardian owns a magic shop that sells magical things like herbs to pendants. There is necklace in there that I want to buy, but I made a deal that I have to earn enough money before I am seventeen. My birthday is only a few weeks away and I am about a week away from buying it. It is purple that has pentagram on it with a few symbols on it. She told me a legend that it supposedly has a boy's soul in it and can only be released when his soul mate has it along with his body. I used believe in it and I still do. Right now I am an apprentice to that old bat. I will only be a full witch when I do something that will change some ones either it be good or bad. We get costumers like any other shop on our street, but a lot more on Halloween. I entered the shop with a smirk on my face and she always knows that I am up to something. She looked up and asked, "What's with the smirk on your face, Scarlett?" I didn't look up cause she'll know what it is by looking in my head, so I replied, "Nothing, ma'am. Just got an assignment that is due on Friday and it will only take me a couple of hours to do and no I am not using magic for this one." Then the door opened and she became tensed all the sudden. I looked up to see who it is. "Scarlett, go to your room and work on your homework. I'll check up on you in a few minutes." Now normally she wouldn't do that, but a day off is a day off, so I took it. Then I heard yelling down there and decided to sneak a peek. I was sensing magic and powerful one at that. I looked down and there was this creature that could possibly be the boogeyman. He looked like horned demon with hollowed out eyes. Him and my guardian were magic-blasting each other left to right and none of the things were broken. Thank God she put the non-break spell on the items when I was starting to walk. Then the horned freak noticed me and started to walk towards the stairs. I remembered what my mentor said about what to do when an enemy is getting too close for comfort. I quickly cast a shield field spell and it actually worked. He was about to blast my spell down when he was suddenly thrown across the room. The love-struck witch grabbed my wrist and the necklace and took me to our witch chamber. "Scarlett, I want you to take this necklace and this letter and go to Morva where Ordu lives. Give her the letter and tell her it will explain everything. I love you like a daughter, Scarlett. Be brave for me." Then she cast a portal spell. The last thing I saw was the love-struck witch dying by his hands with a smirk on his bony face.
