Chapter 4: Witches And Secrets
Even if all Adela wants is a family, Adela was now even more confused then she was a minute ago what did Genevieve mean by Jordan being unsafe and unstable. It was like she was talking about something other that him being a vampire. She was also unsure about Genevieve being her family since Genevieve was a werewolf.
"You have to explain more Genevieve why would you say those things about Jordan?"
"Listen the spell that you are told me about is unpredictable spell and who knows what it does. I do not not fully know what it does only high level warlocks and witches know. Also only warlocks who do dark magic know and dark magic is evil."
"So how did Jordan know?"
"I think it is because there is something evil inside him and that is why he is even able to be warlock and a vampire."
"Something evil? Like what?"
"Something evil from the underworld he has been in contact with someone or something there. He might have been born with it or something has taken over his body."
"Can we stop him from being evil without hurting him?"
"We cannot, only you can since I do not have a magical bone in my body."
"Adela, now you know what Jordan is but you do not even know who you are and I do not know who you are entirely either."
"What am I, I am a witch aren't I. I can perform spells."
"I am not sure but you might be something even more powerful than a witch."
"What do you think I could be?"
"All I do know is that you can save us all."
"Save you from what?"
"I did here someone from the nightmoon witches coven saying that 'Bella will destroy and Adela with restore' and that is all I heard."
"My nickname used to Bella but my father only used call me tha.." Adela stops talking.
"Why did you stop?"
"It is because I always can never remember anything about my brother and father I mean that I can barely recall anything about them but when I said 'Bella' I remembered something."
"What did you remember is it something about Jordan?"
"No it is about my father I remember he said that 'She is not the Bella I want' and that was the last time I ever saw him." Adela says about her past.
"What does that mean why does he call you that?"
"I do not know why but he did say that I was his only and her perfect Bella."
"Adela do you know anything else?"
"I do not know anything else but I do have another question, if Jordan is evil why do keep him here?"
"It is because we were not completely sure about him before you came and also we could sense your connection on him we could sense that he was a good person at least he could be, also he had no where to stay so my pack agreed to let him stay here until we found you to the evil out of him." explained Genevieve.
"Did you send him to find me?"
"No, the Alpha did he was the only one who knew about you. Well, I did to since he told me all about you but said to keep you a secret."
"Why did he tell you to keep me a secret?"
"He thought that we would hurt you and was even hesitant to bring you here. That was the moment we all saw."
"Saw what?"
"We saw his humanity for the first time and we knew he could be saved."
"Wow, but why are you doing this for us and him?"
"It is because you are family Adela you are my cousin."
"How is that even possible?"
"It possible when a pack has a lot of kids your mother has a sister who is my mother."
"Really my mom has a sister and I have an aunt."
"Yes, your mother and you are apart of our pack."
Adela was now more in shock and could still not believe what is going on.
Genevieve was now worried about Adela and about what she must be going through after all that she has learned.
Adela was planning on staying so she could figure out what is going on and some how save her brother from being swallowed by darkness, she would tell her mom and hopefully, she would agree. Afterwards she is being led by Genevieve to a room that looks incredibly beautiful.
When she enters her mouth is open from sight of an amazing looking bedroom.
"You can close your mouth now."
Adela slowly starts to speak, "Who's bedroom is this?"
"This is my room, we're going to share." Genevieve told Adela.
"You are really going to let me stay here? In this bedroom and with you are you sure you do not mind me staying?"
"Yes you can stay here as long as you want to stay here you can even stay here forever."
"Forever is a long time." remarks Adela.
"It can be but it won't be boring or anything when the pack comes back and when the witches come out of there rooms you will see how much you want to stay here. Just wait until you meet our omegas Oliver and Octavia they are really cute and they always want to be strong when I comes to protecting our pack."
"I have read about werewolves from books and aren't Omega werewolves the one who have the lowest rank and they are the weakest."
"They are but we do not treat them live that we treat them to be strong so they will become something more like one of our Hunters or even an Alpha werewolf."
"What do Hunters do?"
"They are for protecting us from rival werewolf packs because sometimes they come into our territory which is basically this whole town."
"You and your pack must be pretty powerful for you to own a town."
"Yeah I guess we are even if sometimes we need to protect it."
"You never told me and I was wondering since you are in a werewolf pack you must have a important rank what rank are you?"
"I am just a...never mind I am nothing special compared to the others." Genevieve can never tell Adela what rank she is because she thinks that it will shatter her.
"If you are nothing special then why do you know so much?" Adela was thinking that she seems to care about her pact and protecting it she thinks that Genevieve is special and she does have high rank in her pack.
"Trust me Adela I am nothing special and I do not want to talk about it." Genevieve said to Adela while talking in an aggressive tone.
"Fine I guess you are telling the truth but it would hurt me if you lied about it." Even though Adela is doubtful for what she is saying Genevieve is someone who you can trust by just being their friend.
"I would never lie Adela and I would never lie to you." Genevieve said looking at Adela with a face that tells her that she is telling the truth.
Genevieve keeps walking on and Adela follows her, it was a huge mansion house. Genevieve told Adela that the witches live inside and the younger werewolves do as well. However the other werewolves have their own section outside it is so they can protect the house from invaders. Adela was wondering why Genevieve sleeps inside she thinks that she is hiding something from her but she cannot figure out what.
"This is Leah's room, she and I were best friends even though we're complete opposites. Leah is really competitive when it comes to making her potions right and perfecting them. She was always in her room coming up with something new. I was someone who liked to do things outside such as train younger werewolves. I liked to hang out with her is because she was the only witch that let me help her with her potions and spells. I always got them wrong since I never knew how to do them so I either exploded something or made a huge mess." Genevieve slightly smiled.
"So you two were close." Adela thought that Leah's room looks like no one has been in here for a while.
"Yeah as close as a werewolf and witch could be. We did like each other a lot."
"I now I have more responsibilities to with hold since I am a... sorry I mean, but we both use to love watching movies together and we became best friends throughout time. She was a witch and she had her own duties being one. We did find time to spend together and we did date for a period of time." Genevieve told Adela.
"Wow." was all Adela could say, but then she thought about how Genevieve said 'were'.
"Leah was a witch and what were you saying?"
"I said nothing I think you are hearing things. Maybe you need to get your hearing checked."
"No, my hearing is completely fine you were about to say something and then you stopped."
"Oh, I was saying I am a big fan of reading about this book were people have to were masks so they do not get sick."
"Okay that is a weird thing to read about and I thought reading about werewolves and vampires was weird, but Genevieve you are even more odd than anyone I have ever met."
"Uh, thank you?"
"Your welcome. Anyways onto the topic of your dating life. Leah was a witch?
"Yes she was and we only dated in secret."
"Why did you only date in secret?"
"Well because werewolves and witches cannot date each other. Only witches can date witches. They also can date warlocks but most witches do not really date at all and vice versa for the werewolves."
"That is not fair you should be able to date whoever you want no matter who or what they are." Adela was displeased with these ethics and she always thought that you should date anyone you want to.
Genevieve looked sad and Adela was wondering why Leah was not here. Adela then looked at Genevieve and was about to ask her what had happened to her.
Just as Adela was about to speak Genevieve starting talking first.
"Leah passed away if you are wondering," Genevieve said.
"I'm sorry," Adela replied.
"It's not your fault," Genevieve tells Adela putting Adela's hands on hers.
After Genevieve was done doing the tour of the mansion Adela is going to live in, Adela asked her, "Can you bring people back from the dead?"
"Well, yeah but...oh." Genevieve looked at Adela who was so happy. Her eyes are full of joy like they used to be once.
After being in this house Adela knows what she wants she wants her father back so she won't feel so alone anymore. She still misses him as much as she did when she was at home. So she cannot miss a chance of bringing him back. She thinks maybe her father did not love her. Why did he leave her. Is it because she was not good enough for him. She is also wondering who in the world is Bella. Her father knows but does her mother know?
"Then let's get my father back!" Adela shouted excitedly.
"That way we can help Jordan and bring my father back." continued Adela.
"We're not supposed to though, it's against the rules and do you not know how many times I have thought of doing that," Genevieve said narrowing her eyebrows knowing that doing it can be challenging in every way possible.
"Then let's break the rules," Adela said quietly.
"The spirits will be mad, they will kill everyone who gets involved," Genevieve said. "They'll kill you first. They won't stop until they have." She said.
"Then I'll die," Adela replied.
Genevieve sighed. Then she said frowning she could see the Adela really wanted to it, "Let's do it."
Adela only fears one thing, not the dark, not heights she is scared of being alone. She fears being alone and with nobody with her. For eight years she felt like she was sad because she was alone but now she thinks it is because of being alone without memories of the ones she lost in those years. She loved both her brother and her father and losing them crushed her but she had to stay strong because she knew that she would not be alone forever and someday she will reach her happiness. All she has to is try.
***
They walked over to Jordan's room. Genevieve opened the door and inside Jordan was playing a video game. The blood on his face was gone.
"Jordan? Your sister wants to bring your father back from the dead." Genevieve blurted. He looked at Adela then at Genevieve and then back at Adela. He started laughing, he laughed so hard he started crying.
"I know it's stupid but, please?" Adela said her eyes filled with tears.
Jordan saw Adela almost crying he never saw cry and pained him to her this way so he stopped laughing knowing he had to help him sister.
"Ugh. Fine but, we need a plan. So the spirits don't kill you for doing it." Jordan said wiping his eyes.
Genevieve and Adela leave the room with Jordan and his thoughts.
"Why can Adela not see that this plan is stupid, I do not want anything to happen to her I will try to protect her and I will not let myself harm her in anyway." Jordan whispers to himself.
***************
"Genevieve how am I going to learn the magic to save Jordan without Jordan finding out?" Adela's worried about Jordan finding out.
Genevieve has already told the witches about her and about her plan even though they thought it is risky they are willing to do it for then they will be apart of saving Jordan. Since Jordan was actually compassionate to the witches and treated them with respect.
"There is way witches can teach you. I just realized that I have to introduce you to the nightmoon witches now since they are done with doing spells for the night. Come with me." Genevieve starts to walk away from the other end of the hallway.
"Okay I am coming." Adela was frightened for what was ahead. She had never done anything this terrifying before and even if she is willing to die was she is not willing to lose her brother again. There could be so many risks that they will have to face and she could not bear to lose him right after she got him back.
"Adela, hey where did you go?" Genevieve wakes Adela from her thoughts by shaking her lightly.
"I am sorry Genevieve but I was thinking about how Jordan could get hurt when we do this. Also you could get hurt too when you all are going to protect us." Adela says to Genevieve with sadness and with her heart aching for them.
"Yes we could get hurt but we could also be fine so far I have seen how strong you are and I know you will do the spell extremely well." Genevieve tells Adela.
"What do you mean I am strong I am the weakest person here." Adela replies with holding tears. She knows she is not strong she only knows that she only holds people back from being good at anything.
"NO, you are strong Adela you actually tried to escape from being kidnapped by a vampire and you almost succeeded."
Adela starts to feel better about the situation and she remembers she did do that. But she did also cast a unpredictable spell when she tried to escape. What if she caused something terrible to happen.
Genevieve tells the teary Adela not to cry even though she does feel better than before but she is still scared of something going wrong. She heads towards Genevieve and she leads her to a room where all the witches of the night are.
"Welcome Adela to the den of witches my name is Destiny Hallows." a witch with a black robe says.
"How do you know my name?" Adela is being weirded out by what she seeing there are witches who are surrounding a crystal ball that has her face on it of when she was a child.
"Child we are witches and we know everything about everyone my name is Celeste Spellstone. It is lovely to make your acquaintance my dear." another witch says.
"Okay but how?" Adela asks them.
All the witches laugh and then the picture of Adela turns into a picture of her with black wings. The witches look at the picture and they try to get rid off it but it does not work. Adela looks at the crystal ball and she says "Ut hinc Bella."(Meaning: Get out of here Bella)
The crystal ball is now clear of any picture of Adela. It is now a normal crystal ball. Adela is taken aback by what she did.
"Adela Rivers what did you do? Now there is no magic coming from it." Aura Darkwaters speaks with breathy voice.
The witches stare at her.
"I am sorry but I felt like I needed to do that." Adela tells the witch.
"It is fine we can always make a new one and why are you scaring the poor thing?" a younger looking witch says while coming in she looks like Adela and Genevieves age.
"This is the first time in years that a new person has came Cordeila, we had to have some fun." said Ophelia Moonlight.
"You all are getting rusty that girl fixed the ball when you couldn't." Cordeila complains.
"I guess we are but we did not know what possessed it so how could we have fixed it." Ravenna whispers.
"It does not matter now. Ravenna how are you my sister when you could not fix an ordinary possession spell." Cordeila said.
"I am sorry Cordeila, I mean we are sorry." Ravenna and the other witches say.
"We are supposed to be stronger than those morning sun witches and this is what I get useless witches. Come on Adela we have to teach you about the spell you are going to cast." commands Cordeila.
"I am sorry but why are you commanding the older witches?" Adela asked Cordeila as she was a lot younger than all the witches but it seemed like she was in charge of them.
"Oh that, I am the leader because I am much older than I look and I am younger then most of the witches it is because the youngest and the one who is in the family of great witches is the one who leads." Cordeila said.
"How old are you?" questioned Adela.
"I am fourteen in human years,"
"In human years?"
"Yes in human years, but in witch years I am about 114 years old."
"Yes, I am not that old compared to other witches."
"Your not that old?"
"Yes, I am not but also I am not immortal I will die when I turn 1,600."
"Why will you die."
I don't know why but most supernatural creatures do even vampires. Although it is pretty hard for them to die some can live with sunlight and when are stabbed with a stake do not die either. I think they are called 'The Immortal Demons'."
"The Immortal Demons, wait is my brother one and are you one?."
"I do not think he is since he was burning in the sun when he came here but then a few days later he stopped and he could walk in the sun freely. That happened without our help and we are almost all of us are cursed this fate and we can not undo it." Cordell
"Really that is odd for a vampire."
"Indeed it is for a vampire and us all knowing witches do not know. Adela we need to focus on teaching you the spell so we need to do it somewhere Jordan can see. Also he has to do it with you remember."
"Yes I do but, why would he need to see?"
"It is so he can see that you are actually doing a spell that can bring people from people back from the dead, which is an extremely stupid spell. It almost never actually works."
"Yeah I did realize that but saving my brother is enough for me so come bring on the magic." Adela smiles with tears from knowing that she would never see her father again as much as she learned about why he left she still loves him.
