Chapter 51
Chapter 51 Maria POV A puppeteer. This kind of magic is long forgotten and very dangerous but to think it is practiced inside the castle. What if it is Mia? But even if she had her pendant and full access to her magic, she isn’t strong enough for a spell like this. If not.. blood magic. But blood magic is even more forbidden and it leaves a trace. I contact Fan ny and she is on her way along with Carol and the rest of the elders of our coven. “Maria, what is going on?” Fa nny ask as she opens the door “A puppeteer spell is cast in the castle” I say and she sucks in a breath and stares at “What?” Carol’s voice is heard but I just nod and gather my grimoire along with a bottle. “Let’s go” I say and hold out my hand and when everyone has grabbed onto me, I use my own transportation magic and in a “whoosh” we stand outside the castle doors. “Maria, can you feel that?” Fan ny asks and I nod. This magic does not belong to Mia, it’s light magic, a very rare magic that doesn’t exist in our coven. “But who?” I begin to say but the door swings open and reveals the king himself. r “Thank the goddess that you are here Maria, we are in big trouble.” he says and I can see that he is not included in the spell.
I nod and we walk inside, the spell is powerful and everywhere but as I look around I notice a lot of bodies on the floor, unmoving and the smell of blood fills the air. I look at the king with an angry look. “Hey, they aren’t dead Maria. But I needed to break a few noses along the way to the door” he says and I tilt my head. but nod. “Maria, I think I know who did this. But I am confused as well because she is dead” Carol whispers. I look at her and she looks atwith tears in her eyes. Oh, her.
Well I will be da mned. “Let’s go visit my foolish granddaughter then” I say and walk between all the unconscious lycans on the floor. We walk as fast and quietly as we can towards Mia’s room. And when we get there, well the scene that is unfolding is scary. Ares, the prince, leader of the top warriors and one of the strongest lycan’s that has ever been born. Is lying on the floor with blood trickling out of his backhead andt there is a woman standing.. No floating in the air with her vacant eyes staring at Mia. Mia’s door is off its hinges and Mia is staring at the woman with horror on her face. I quickly gather my magic and send out a reverse spell that will make Mia speak again and when it hits her, Mia draws a 2/5 breath and then she say: “I will never be on your side, you psychopath” Well to say I am proud of my granddaughter is the least I can say. I smile at her and she glances over atand smiles back. Now is the tto draw the witch out and I do it easily with a minor spell. The floor is covered by fire as it is spreading rapidly from our side to the other. The floating woman turns around slowly, with a hollow look on her face when she opens her mouth and blood is pouring from it. “M.. a.. r.. i.. a..” she says and drags the letters out. “Yes” I say and don’t take my eyes off of her. “Wh.. at.. do.. you.. thi.. nk.. of.. th.. is..?” “I am not impressed by this disgusting stunt of yours” I say and look disgusted by this. “Ha.. ha.. ha.. It.. is.. not.. eas… y.. for.. me… to.. ma.. ke.. th.. is.. bo.. dy..” “Let her go and cand speak withthen” I say impatiently and the floating woman closes her mouth and then falls down on the floor and a white orb comes floating up from her body. I watch as the orb floats slowly against us and I step in the way of Ares’ body on the floor.
“Here, you can talk through me” Mia stretched out her hand. I try to stop her but she looks determined by her decision. ||| The orb floats in Mia’s direction and then she absorbs it into her body. She gains a white glow and her eyes becwhite and she starts to speak. “Hmm, you were right it was easier to speak in a conscious body” Mia’s voice is distorted. “Who are you?” I ask and she laughs “Don’t you recognize my magic, my old teacher? You taughtfor several years, just as my grandmother taught you” She says and stares atbefore she tries to move Mia’s body but gets frustrated as she whines a bit. “Mia let you use her voice and not her body and by the way I have created a barrier spell around her room so any second now..” I explain and she looks atconfused. “So your grandmother taught me, huh. Well in a sense she did since she is my mother as well, my dear daughter. How does it feel, using your own niece’s body to speak through her” I ask and finally it hits me “Haha it feels just fine, after all she is my daughter, don’t you remember mother? I gave her to my sweet sister after you senton my way to rehab. Like I am an alcoholic or something else.” She says and I just sigh at her and shake my head. “Lift the spell, Maya, or I will…” I begin to say when she disrupts me. “Lift the spell, you say? No this is my revenge, but I am almost finished and everyone will notice me then but first” she says and I feel her magic as Mia screams. ||| “Mia?” I ask as I see how Maya’s magic disappears. “Hurry..” She.. is.. going.. to.. kill. No.. ra..” Mia is trying to speak but she is having a hard time. “Now is not the tto stand around like idiots, hurry to Nora’ s room, now!” I yell at the king while I run toward Mia that slumps down on the floor as the exhaustion
took a hold of her. “Was she telling the truth, grandma? Was that my mother!?” Mia asks before she faints
