CHAPTER THIRTY NINE

Takashi looked at the scythe that just came out of his chest. "Crap you good have done that a better way." Takashi complained as he picked up the scythe and looked at it. The long handle was a deep purple the blade was black. "Careful not to cut yourself unless you want your soul reaped." The shinigami whispered. "Some scythe." Takashi said and sliced a merman's neck black blood spurted everywhere. The merman's soul left his body and went into the blade."Okay I take back what I said." Takashi said and went on a hacking spree. "It's only a handful let's end this!" Junior yelled as he took down three mermen at the same time.

Witch Covenant

Agnes watched as the mermen was completely cut down in a matter of minutes. "This is impossible!" Agnes yelled in frustration, her plan had failed yet again. "This detective is something else not only him but the group as well it seems they're determined to stop. Don't worry though I put a nightmare spell on the forest, that should stop them for good." Helena explained to Agnes. "Ah yes the nightmare spell let's see what they fear the most." Agnes said as she watched the last merman get killed.

The last was killed by Junior while, Tori, Alfred and Takashi sat on the ground exhausted. "Where's Àine and Zevrij?" Tori asked. "Right here lass we ran into a wee bit of trouble but Zevrij took care of it." Àine said to the others while Zevrij smiled weakly. "Are you okay Zevrij? You don't look so good." Alfred said as he walked over to see what was wrong for Zevrij was looking green in the face. Literally. "He's used to much of his power we gotta head back Junior." His father said and they headed back to the tree tents. Zevrij rested in a certain part of the tents while the others on another side talking and having their daily smoke session. "Zevrij will be okay he just needs some rest and on top of it seems like I have another adoption on my hands. So Junior and Tori what shall it be?" Alfred asked his adopted children the siblings looked at each other and started to laugh. "Look father we know you got this and from what I seen he needs some direction." Tori said. "Yeah and right now you're the only father he has. I wouldn't mind having a little brother. Ouch!" Tori telepathically threw a book at Junior hitting him in the head the others laughed. "Tori we are blood siblings but having a little brother wouldn't be bad." "Well lads at least we stopped the mermen." The room fell silent for they all knew those mermen where tricked out of their lives. "They were innocent." Zevrij said coming from the other side of the tent his face looked okay but his long ears flopped. His long black hair was unkempt covering parts of his face. "Zevrij you should be resting lad." Àine said. "I'm okay I have a headache though. I over heard you all talking and I am pleased to be accepted. Listen I had a dream about a place named Memphis and it was terrible really terrible. Demons possessed humans and used them like soldiers, hell hounds, and witches it was like hell. A witch demon hybrid is responsible." Zevrij explained as the others listened but Junior spoke first. "That wasn't a dream sounds more like a vision but either way we have to leave Salem. I know we're close but Memphis needs us and we still have to find Àloe." "Oh we forgot about Àloe. I wonder where she could be?" Tori said. Which she was right to asks they haven't seen Àloe since she killed Robert. "I have to find her before the PPD does." Junior was right if they find her they'll just exorcise her. Then they'll put the blame on me." Junior explained the others to which he was right. Letting a murderous banshee roam free is a crime and the PPD has it out for Junior. Zevrij spoke. "Well I know a teleportation spell but I never tried it but all ogre kind must know this spell. in case of interrogation." Zevrij explained. "The key to a successful teleport is having where you want to go in your mind. You must be focus or you'll be off course when you do the spell." Alfred explained also. "You know the spell he's talking about father?" Tori asked. "Yes and I have had to use it a few times, I forgot about the spell really until Zevrij spoke up." Alfred gave Zevrij a thumbs up. "Well I say we waste no more time here I'm pretty sure the witches got word on us." Takashi said and was right they couldn't afford any more surprises. "Alright we leave in ten minutes nothing more." Junior said and the rest agreed.

Witch Covenant

Agnes watched as Junior and his crew start their journey back into the forest where the nightmare spell has been casted. "Oh yes this will definitely stop the detective in his tracks long enough to grab his sister and bring her back." Helena bragged as she watched also from the cauldron. "Helena you've been a great help to the Wicca Witch Covenant and witch kind alike. Be my apprentice Helena and teach the covenant about demons and such like. With your knowledge the covenant will be unstoppable and will be stronger than ever. "I don't want apprenticeship my queen." Helena said. "Then what is it you want?" Agnes asked. "I want you to leave my daughter out of the witch trials it's only right my queen." Helena said and there was murmurs amongst the crowd of witches.
