Chapter 16 Pt. 3

Raina had held her head down with her eyes closed while she yelled out her chant. After a moment had passed, and she completed her words, she opened her eyes and looked into the mirror that she and Meridian stood over. In the mirror she saw Warrick’s face with his long grey beard and evil eyes on the night that he had cursed Meridian. The events of the night at Aiden’s prom began to play out in rapid motion within the mirror, and Raina now saw everything. She pushed Meridian off the mirror and picked it up over her head. Selena looked into the mirror and saw Warrick. In moments, Meridian collapsed to the floor and the lights from the fairies disconnected and disappeared. All twelve other witches were knocked to the ground as the Earth shook.

From the dust everyone looked at one another in silence waiting for some thought or explanation to come from Esmra. Once they realized that Meridian had collapsed, they rushed over to her to make sure that she was okay.
