Path of Night

Raised, but soon burned - part II

When I was on the other side of the school I figured that I have no idea where they are going.

"Hey, you know where..."

'There is a place that could be right, but I am not sure.'

"That's a start. Where?"

'The hanging tree'

"Of course! Hold on. Lanuae Magicae!"

I teleported near the tree, but they weren't there. I waited a bit, but they still didn't show up. I was about to leave when a thunder grabbed my attention.

"What was that?"

'She did it.'

"Who did what?"

'I believe that your cousin signed the book.'

"She did wha..."

I was interrupted by another thunder, and I saw Sabrina and that teacher. Oh, I am going to find out exactly who she is. I stayed hidden in the forest behind them listening to every word.

"Dig deep. It isn't just power, Sabrina. It's rage. It is the desire to change the world and the will to do it."

Oh sweet hell, how I cannot stand her voice.

"Command the Greendale Thirteen."

"I order the Greendale Thirteen to stop! Go in peace, or face my wrath!"

In a split second, the witches were around the hanging tree, and boy, they weren't happy. One of them spoke:

"Who are you to order us? We felt the wrath of Greendale once, child. We won't be hung again."

"No, not hung. Burned!"

Wait, what?! She can't burn them, only hellfire can.

'She will not be able to...'

"Don't I know it. Now what, only hellfire can burn them."

'Then burn them.'

"How? I can't do that, no one can."

'Do you trust me?'

"Well..."

'Pretend you do for a few minutes.'

"Ok"

'You can summon it.'

"Fine. How"

'You heard Wardwell. Dig deep, feel the rage, let it grow, let it consume you. And don't forget to time it right, they don't know you are here.'

I closed my eyes and focused. I could feel the power. It was hard at first, fire it's... well, it's fire. But then it felt good.  I heard Sabrina started the chant, so I began to parallel with her:

I, Calisa Persephone Dhark, daughter of Night, call forth Fire from the Pit!

At that moment, the witches began to burn in a beautiful blue fire. I continued with the spell at the same time as Sabrina:

Ater ignes, fusce fume.
Te evoco ut potentium tuam monstres.
Cupidibus flammis hic veni.
Caelo sub isto, harc arborem consumo.
Lucem tenerbrasque tuas monstra.
Impetuum tuum evoco ad devorandum.
Hanc arborem ac omnes hospitas devora.

In a few seconds, the witches were gone. Died screaming in pain. I turned around and teleported back to Baxter High. I ran to aunt Hilda, who was still holding up.

"It's over aunt Hilda, you can stop."

"Oh thank Satan! What happened love?"

"I went in the same way as Sabrina. She didn't see me, but she managed to get rid of the Thirteen."

"How did she..."

I didn't hear her anymore. Everything became blurry and I felt I was about to pass out. I guess I used too much magic today. In a split second, everything became black.
