Path of Night

The prophecy

I teleported somewhere in the Forest. I just wanted to be alone. To be free of all the lies and half-truths. I need to find out what is going on, the Dark Lord's plan and what it has to do with Sabrina. My mom's Journals were a dead end. Wait... The scroll! I took it out of my pocket and unraveled it.

The prophecy of a Shadow-heir

And a shadow-hair shall be born and in mockery of the Nazarene, she shall perform Satanic miracles and profane acts. Her final perversion will allow the Dark Lord to return to Earth in His true form and open the Gates of Hell and enslave the tribes of both kinds, witch, and mortal. And once He walks on Earth, the girl will rule at His side, and the new Dawn will begin.

The Codex Prognostica

Satanic miracles

As I was about to read them, Paradox contacted me to tell me that Sabrina is asking Ambrose to help her make a double using the Mandrake. I just put the scroll back in my pocket not getting upset, because one, it happened so often that I just can't waste my energy anymore, and two:

"Sabrina, WHAT kind of an IDIOT are you!"

I teleported inside the Mortuary, but Sabrina wasn't there, unlike some people.

"What are you doing here Calisa? You made it perfectly clear that you don't want anything to do with us."

"True, true... But I am not here to talk to you, I am here for Sabrina."

"What has she done now?"

"That is for her to tell. I am not a messenger. I will wait for her."

Zelda just looked at me, and went out of the Mortuary, probably to the Academy. I went downstairs and saw a huge Mandrake about to burst. Oh, sweet Hell Sabrina! What did you do? I turned around to leave but it was too late. The Mandrake double was alive and she saw me. Mandrake doubles are very dangerous as they can make more of themselves and I was stuck with one. I tried to be nice to it, but it was of no use. As I turned around to run, she shot me down with a spell and everything went black.

I opened my eyes and saw only darkness. What happened? Oh no... Mandrake! I started to kick whatever I was in, and after a while, I broke out and saw another open Mandrake next to me, which meant that my powers are gone. Just as I was about to run upstairs, I saw my mom's scroll opened wide with added words near the Satanic miracles:

An exorcism                - Jessy Putnam
Crossing into Limbo   - Kinkle brother
Conjuring Hellfire       - Greendale Thirteen
Rising the dead           - Innocents
The ultimate perversion of sacrifice is .....................

"SUICIDE" - I yelled

Sabrina's birthplace. You are welcome

The only one who could have written this was V. I stormed out of the Mortuary. I am running so fast, I never ran this fast in my life, I always use magic. But, thanks to Sabrina, now I don't have any. When I got there I saw that Sabrina was about to pull the trigger on her pistol, I speeded up, but it was too late. Just as I touched the pistol Sabrina fired and both mandrakes dropped dead.

"NOOOOO!" - I yelled

I made my way to the Mandrakes.

"You can't die! You hear me!"

I tried to revive the mandrake clone, both of them, but it was of no use. No, no, no, no, NO! Great now not only is the Dark Lord coming, but I don't have my magic anymore.

"What are you doing Calisa? It's over, why are you trying to bring them back?"

"Because it is not OVER, Sabrina. This was the last step in the prophecy. You killing yourself."

"She is right Spellman. That was the last step."

I turned around and saw Nick and Lilith standing there. She looked scared to death, which I have no idea why, since she is The Lilith. I stood up and looked her in the eyes.

"And why are you here? To gloat? I bet you are really happy right now, aren't you!"

I mounted Lilith so only she could see, since I know no one else knows about her. She just stared at me in shock. Good. Now, I can't stay here, as a mortal I am vulnerable. I was about to go, when...

"Where are you going Calisa? We need to stop this?"

That's it. I am done with her.

"STOP WHAT SABRINA! THERE IS NO STOPPING ANYTHING NOW! HOW CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND!"

"There has to be a way, there..."

"No, Sabrina, there is nothing you or anyone else can do now. If you just waited for few more minutes, I can bet that Nick would come to you with answers. But no. You just had to do it your way! BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU WANT, DON'T YOU?!"

With that I turned around and started running, shutting out her screams. I felt tears starting to fall down on my face. Why, oh why did this happened? She just couldn't wait. She never waits. She can do whatever she wants and expect that I will be the one to fix the mess. Well, not this time. I hate being mortal more than anything right now. My anger is so boiled up I want to burst. But without magic I can't. The only way to do that is by letting my tears fall down. I didn't know in which way I was running, my vision was blurry from the tears. I just kept running and running until I bumped into something.

"Sweet Satan in Hell, this is just not my day!" - I yelled not seeing what or better yet who I bumped into.

"Well, you said that phrase more in these two days than your whole life."

Oh, no! I know that voice! Damn you, Sabrina! I raised my head and saw him.

"D-d-dark Lord"
