-Humanus lingua (human language)!
-Hurry ... save my witch ... a male with a black looking heart ... took her away! These were the words spoken by the red dragon before the spell went off.
It was no time to waste because the Dark Lord began to interrogate the fire witch about her mentor’s place:
-I will ask you one more time little witch: Where is that old wizard hiding? His voice was loud and angry.
-Like I’ll tell ya, bad breath! Michaela responded looking without a fear into his eyes.
-Behave, darling! Trust me, Mister Coldblood is not the person you should be upsetting. Black Ace had tied her up with a silver rope that had a small red spot on it. It was Michaela’s blood. While she was asleep, Coldblood’s apprentice took some blood from her right thumb and placed it on the silver rope to complete the spell.
-Seeing you are a stubborn one, you leave me no choice. Enuntiatum secretum (reveal the secret)!
-He has an apartment in the center of Bucharest! Michaela was unable to hold her mouth shut after the magic words were spoken. Now she felt like a traitor and she closed her eyes disappointed of her weakness.
The wooden cabin door suddenly fall on the floor and three young witches came inside looking as if someone stole something valuable from them ... or someone in this case.
-Girls, I am sorry; Michaela said to her friends with tears in her eyes. I told him where the Wise Elder lives, but he cast a spell on me.
-Don’t worry, sweetie. We will discuss this later; Helena looked at her with understanding because she knew what happened.
-You picked on the wrong girl, old man! Laura tried to intimidate the Dark Lord.
-Did I? he asked with sarcasm. Why don’t we find out? Tsunami invocationem (tsunami invoke).
Two jets of water were streaming out of his palms throwing the girls outside. After it stop, they were on the ground all wet and shaking. The Dark Lord went outside to finish what he started. Before that, he ordered his apprentice to keep the fire witch tight, otherwise he would face his furry.
Ohoo, looks like a battle is about to begin. Chapter 9 - A sad separation
Seeing that her friends were in trouble, Michaela’s anger began to grow. Her glasses lenses were reflecting the flames from her eyes and soon her entire body was covered in tongues of fire. Black Ace tried to keep her tight, but the flames burned his fingers, making him to loose the silver rope. Once the rope unleashed her, the fire witch activated her torque:
-Michaela, Ignis (fire)!
-Ahhh, you naughty little witch! Aaahh, it hurts!
-This happens when ya play with fire, ya get burned! Michaela said to him with a grin on her face, watching the apprentice rolling down the floor because of the pain. His fingers had a shade of pink scares.
-You’re not the only water bender around here, Dark Lord! Oana said to him, then she took some of the water from her body and Laura and Helena’s too, making from it an iced sword.
-En garde! Said the Dark Lord making a bigger sword than Oana’s.
The two of them began to fight. Oana had quick, graceful and skilled moves learned from her fencing lessons.
Her cousin gave her the fencing lessons as a present for her fourteenth birthday. Oana hated this sport because it involved violence and weapons that could hurt somebody, but now she realized that they were very handful now.
Unfortunately, the Dark Lord’s sword was bigger, heavier and resistant to Oana’s attacks. After few more blows, Oana’s sword broken into two pieces.
-You are a wonderful opponent, my dear. It was an honor winning this duel! The Dark Lord raised his sword upon the water witch’s head, he was preparing for the final blow.
-Not so fast, ‘Zorro’! Flammeum gladium (flame sword)!
He had no time to strike back because Michaela’s sword melted his and he got burned with hot water resulted from their swords impact.
-Uuuhhh! The Dark Lord tried to not manifest his pain in front of his opponents.
-Let me cool your wound. Frigus aura (freezing breeze)!
A strong, freezing wind from Laura made the evil wizard look like Jack Frost.
-Herba creepers (grass creepers)!
Helena raised under the Dark Lord’s feet some creeping plants which tied him up from head to toe.
-Don’t worry, your apprentice will keep you company, he’s all tied up just like you. See? Black Ace stood behind the earth witch looking like a caterpillar in a cocoon.
-Is it just me or this fight was way easier than I expected? Laura asked looking amused at Helena’s loots.
-You are right, my dear! Dark Lord’s down voice spoke between the plant’s grips.
The four girls looked at the two wizards disappearing right under their eyes without a trace. Nothing was there anymore except the green trap that kept them hostage.
-Ya had to ask, din’cha?! Michaela shouted at Laura, spreading thin flame tongues from her curly hair.
-Ooops, my bad! Laura excused herself making cute puppy eyes, hoping for forgiveness from Michaela.
-Nope, this trick doesn’t work on me! She replied with her hair still flaming.
-Geez, girl! You may be the fire witch but your heart is as cold as the Ice Age; Laura’s face turned away disappointed.
-Ironic, isn’t it?! Michaela said with an evil grin.
Oana came between them to remind that they still haven’t finished the job yet:
-This is no time for you two to argue right now! We must find those wizards.
-And fast; Helena said scared. They could appear out of nowhere and hurt us again.
From the small wooden cabin’s rooftop, Black Ace shouted with tease at the group’s leader:
-Oana, you claim to be the smart one. You should know that the human body is seventy five per cent water!
The water witch came near the cabin, looking mood less at him:
-What’s that suppose to ...
She began asking but she immediately shut up at the sight of a water column spinning in front of her. Soon the water column took shape of a man’s body and then into Dark Lord’s apparel.
-Surprise, ladies! The elder wizard said ironically, raising his hands above his head. Tempestas (storm)!
The sky got covered by dark clouds, spreading loud thunders and bright lightnings. Cold rain drops were streaming down upon the four witches. This was no ordinary rain. With each drop that touched their bodies, the girls powers were getting smaller and smaller, until their magical outfits were replaced by their casual clothes. All of them were dressed in jeans, shirts, the shoes were different. Oana and Helena wore casual shoes with small heels, Laura had golden sandals with high heels and Michaela had her usual Adidas sneakers.
-What is happening to us? Laura cried with fear.
A loud growl came from the dark sky. It was the four dragons. Each approached the ground, grabbed their belonging witches on the fly and took them as far from that place.
-That old fool is getting on my last nerve! The Dark Lord said among the teeth.
The Wise Elder felt relieved at the sight of all his pupils:
-My dear girls, you are all fine, especially you my flammable child! He looked with lovingly eyes at Michaela, like a real grandfather who loves his grandchildren. His face changed into white when he saw the cut at the girl’s right thumb. Did it hurt? He asked taking her hand into his.
-A lil’ bit! Michaela responded with no emotion.
-Why aren’t you in your magical clothing?
After the girls finish recounting the events that took place earlier, the Wise Elder looked even sadder.
-Is it bad? Oana asked after a moment of silence.
-It is not bad, it’s worse! You have been cursed with Dark Magic to not use your powers without causing damage around you and to ... to yourselves.
Michaela couldn’t keep her tears from falling, she and her friends were cursed, their teacher was sad, all this made her simmer into crying:
-This is all my fault! If I have chick that Black idiot’s butt out, this wouldn’t happened.
-Don’t blame yourself. It is our fault as well; Helena tried to comfort her.
-Good try, red! But I've made up my mind. I quit!
-WHAT?! The others asked all in the same time.
-Child, please! You are not in the right mood to think clear now, you ...
The Wise Elder didn’t had time to finish his sentence, Michaela already put her torque into his hands and went near the red dragon:
-Take me home, please!
The dragon obeyed her with a heavy heart. While they ascend, Michaela turned her head around to see her short-time friends for the last time.
-Come back, curly! I swear I won’t tease you any more! Laura cried, kneeling on the dusty carpet. The fire witch and her dragon were dots in the distant and all her friends cries couldn’t be heard anymore.
Back home, Michaela was sitting on her bed with her head hanging at the end and her feet up against the wall. Her bed was practically a sofa because she had the living room as her bedroom, in her family’s middle classed apartment composed of: a large kitchen, a small bathroom, a medium sized bedroom, a large living room and two smaller balconies connecting the kitchen and the living room.
Her parents sleep in the bedroom, her twelve year old brother in the kitchen (on a folded sofa just like his sister). Her apartment wasn't that big nor fancy, but for Michaela this meant home, where she grew and was loved.
As she was sitting in this awkward position, her favorite band EVANESCENCE was playing ‘Going under’
