im backkkkkk

hehe

this will probably be a short chapter because motivation is nonexistent

you probably all know what's coming so

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

of course, Scott betrayed us. I'm not completely sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't that. he seemed pretty trustworthy for a necromancy witch, but he kind of proved that evil stereotype right. good for him.

I headed back to my castle to have some lunch. I'm honestly not too bothered about what happened, to be truthful.

oh, who am I kidding, I'm am bothered about it. he had lauren, but he was still my best friend. if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be in the coven, and even now, Eloise is still scared of me. lauren didn't care, but now that Scott's gone, and Laurens with him, I don't have anyone. As I said, Eloise doesn't trust me, and I sure won't be talking with the aqua coven. I guess I'm back to square one. it's fine. I never needed friends in the first place. besides Scott, I'm the second most powerful witch. I can still do this. I need to. if I want to be human again, I have to.

I miss my human life. I don't remember much of it, but I miss it. I'm tired of feeling like I'm burning in the sun, of having my body feel like it could fall apart any second, of having to wear the same stitched-together dress that I died in. I just want to be normal, sit on the beach, go swimming, make friends. is that too much to ask?

I could my castle in the distance. maybe I should go somewhere else for a bit. I need a break. maybe I should go to the grotto? yeah, I'll do that.

I turn my broom away from my castle and down through the trees, the wind blowing my hair behind me. I let out a laugh. I love flying through here, it's so magical. and that coming from a time witch. 

with a thud, I land in front of a tree. the tree's leaves almost sparkle in the sun, but of course that's just an illusion. grabbing my broom, I put my hand on the tree. with a glimmer, it fades to reveal a little clearing of moss and grass. is surrounded by trees, the branches letting in little patches of sunlight. it smells of morning dew and fresh grass. I found it while exploring one time, and I've been coming here ever since. it's just peaceful, and no one knows about it but me.

I laid down in the grass, taking a deep breath. this was my comfort place, my safe space. my area where I could be free to do whatever I want and not worry about being attacked or judged. no bad things here, nada.

although, maybe I was not coming here often enough. maybe that's why bad stuff keeps happening. I thought of Scott again. he wasn't popular, but he never cared. he was always so determined to win, maybe I should be more like that. no, he's evil Cleo, I scolded myself. don't say that.

I should head back now. I left the grotto, mounting my broom and flying back to my castle. I saw my castle growing closer and closer until I was right outside the front door. I sighed, dismounted my broom, and stored it in my hidden broom cupboard. I then opened the door and stepped into my house...

and was immediately grabbed.

I tried to fight back, but someone wrapped their hand around my waist, not letting me use my hands.

"let me go you-" I tried to say, but then a syringe sunk into my neck, and I blacked out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat up quickly, immediately regretting it as my head felt as if someone sniped me in the head. I was in a room with a green bed, that I was laying on, and a small table with a flicking lantern. I was in a cell, wasn't I?

"Alright, who is it now?" a voice echoed. I stood up and moved to the bars to see joey graceffa looking at my cell with a nasty black eye. his jaw dropped at the sight of me. "oh shit, we're fucked. why? who is it?" another voice that was familiar. was that pris? "it's Cleo. Oh fuck. that's not good. yeah, no shit Sherlock. now it's Tiff, El, or Scott, none of which are good options."

"where are we?" I asked. "we don't know. we all were just grabbed or knocked out. so far its me, pris, lauren, joey, and now you." a voice that i identify as shelbys responded. "also, our magic doesn't work for some reason so don't bother." joey added.

"ok then. um..." i sat back on the bed and just sat there.

i hope someone finds us soon...
