Chapter 13

Sheila P.O.V

"Theodore !" I enter the kitchen holding two grocery bags, I put them on the kitchen counter

" Hey mother" Theo comes strolling in the kitchen with Aurora

" Hi miss Rogers" I smile at both of them, they were always together since they were in kindergarten.

" Hello Aurora ,I didn't know you were coming over today, I hope you two were behaving while I was out." Aurora blushes and looks at Theo

" Geez ma, anyway we are busy with a science project so relax." I give them a doubting look and turn back to the bags on the counter, I start unpacking the grocery while they place them back in the wooden kitchen cabinets.

" Ma, can Aurora stay over for dinner?" I turn to face him as I am about to answer Aurora clears her throat.

" Unfortunately I can't stay that long Theo , I need to get back to the dorm." She looks at me and Theo grunts.

" You never stay anymore, what's got you so busy?" Aurora looks down as he asks her.

" Theo leave the poor girl alone, besides your both always busy but you don't see me complaining right? " I quickly add

Theo shrugs " okay fine... I just miss hanging around with you, I mean we barely see each other at school and if it wasn't for this project I don't think I would even see you." Aurora holds his hand

" Theo, I also miss chilling out with you but some things are keeping me busy, but I swear once I am free we will hang out." I stand holding one hand to my mouth watching this cute couple.

" Ok you two enough with this drama, anyway get back to your project." I scold them , they leave the kitchen while I finish putting the items in the fridge. My phone rings .

" Hello" I head to the bar chair.

" Sheila sweet Sheila" I sigh annoyed knowing who it was

" Luther what do you want?" I ask him sternly

" No need to be feisty, today is Aurora's initiation and I want you to grace us with your presence." I am repulsed but I know I have no choice on the matter.

" I thought Aurora's initiation was last week already." He chuckles on the other side of the line.

" Well that was the plan but she was too weak to handle it , but everything today should go smoothly and you will make sure of it." I sigh tapping my fingers on the kitchen counter.

" Fine, I will be there" I answer him

" Good, now I will send you the directions ,oh and Sheila make sure you are there because if you don't get there then be prepared to never see Theo again." he threatens me.

My body stiffens, I can't believe this bastard.

" I said I will be there!" I drop the call and pace around the kitchen, after a few minutes a text message appears, with GPS coordinates at the end was the time 20:30 PM ...only a few hours to go and Luther will have her soul.

Theo and Aurora appear in the kitchen, Aurora had her bag on her shoulder, she looked nervous.

" Hey ma, I am going to drop Aurora off, " I look at Theo and sigh

" Don't stay out too late, oh and Theo ... I won't be here when you get back." He looks concerned

" Where are you going?" I go to him and kiss his cheek

" I need to take care of something but I promise I won't be too long, now go drop Aurora off before it gets late" Aurora tenses and smiles back at Theo.

" Ok then, let's get going" Theo leaves the room with Aurora as soon as they leave, I head to my room,filled with a lavender scent.

I go to my drawer and get out a black trunk, I unlock the trunk, before I open it I look up the white ceiling, I promised myself to never touch this trunk but I have to. This is for Theo and Bonnie. I open it inside lies a black cloak, an ancient spell book, three glass bottles filled with cloudy foggy water each glass container contained a potent. And finally the Oracle chain.

I changed into warm comfortable clothes and wore the cloak, I placed the Oracle around my neck, the house suddenly went cold. I clutched the spell book close to my chest and kissed it's front cover. I meditated saying foreign incantations , I stood and looked at my reflection in the mirror, I felt repulsed but this was who I am, a witch who has terrorised many lives serving Luther for the longest time. I head out of the house and get in my truck and head to my destination.

After traveling for an hour, I reached my destination , in front of me stood an old building it was in the outskirts of the city , I locked my car and headed inside the building, the floor boards creaked each time I took a step, the walls were full of cracks , it was dark the moon light filled the room, I head to a door remembering the directions ,back centre behind the wing shadow. I continue into a black hallway two statues of Angel's

stood erect , one of the angels had a broken wing leaving it with one wing , I go behind it and notice a secret door, I go through it leading me to a room filled with candles everywhere at the end of the room stood an alter with a shrine.

I exhale and continue walking towards it, I see figures dressed in cloaks they bow their heads down as I head to the alter , I go stand next to Hilda the oldest ancient witch. She welcomes me and allows me to put my spell book in front of the table,no words are exchanged.

After a while Aurora emerged from a room wearing a white gown , the ten figures surrounded her forming a circle around her , she felt scared her eyes were red from crying. The ritual began immediately, incantations were heard across the room the figures moving back and forth , Aurora screamed except the more she screamed the louder the incantations. Suddenly they stopped when she collapsed, I quickly went up to her to check if she was okay.she looked at me with desperate eyes and whispered" please help me" a tear falling from her face. I couldn't stop it, we were already half way in it ,stopping would mean suicide,i helped her up took her hand ,Hilda gave me a dagger, I sliced her palm allowing some blood to drip ,I sliced my hand next mixing it with her palm . She jerked back and forth, and screamed like she was on fire then she stopped. Hilda came near us and took off the white gown she wore and presented Aurora with a black cloak , it was done ,she is fully transformed.

Luther came strolling in and stood in front of Aurora

" Aurora , rise , from this moment you are the Oracle and your loyalty lies with your master." He said this presenting her with a silver sharp dagger.

I felt drained but felt regret. The Aurora standing in front of me was a monster her eyes irises were blood red ,her innocence gone, she had no emotion she looked at Luther and went down on her knees.

" Luther her body has been through a lot , allow her to rest then tomorrow she will be ready" Hilda said this quickly. He nods.

"Luther, my...job is..is....done here..you got what you wanted." I pant , my breathing sounding heavy, I felt like I would collapse any moment.

" Not just yet cupcake, there's one more thing I need you to do." I eyed him

The figures around us took Aurora and disappeared , leaving the three of us. Hilda said an incantation after a few minutes my body felt warm then I got my strength back.

" Thank you Hilda" she smiled and left the room , Luther stood facing the shrine.

" What more could you possibly want?" I hiss at him he doesn't seem moved by my question, he turns to face me.

" You know exactly what I want!" He groaned, I feel petrified,he's body grows enormously, I take a step back.

" Luther what have you done to yourself?" I ask in a shaky voice, he just smirks and chuckles madly.
