Chapter 610

Blue
A week passes by and I think everything is starting to settle in this place. The bodies of the elders are found. They are buried and mourned as it should have been and everything seems to be going well. I have heard a lot of talk from the people in the coven.
They are all on the same page with me.
They all want Major to take over.
How do you even think about someone else when all the arrows are pointing to him? He literally saved this place from my mother’s terror and he deserves it.
I have mentioned it to him once but it doesn’t even seem like it is something that he wants. I don’t want to be the one to convince him because this has to be a decision that he makes for himself. The coven is scattered. Like it is going to have to be brought up from the ground up. The people are in shambles and there is a lot of instability.
I want to just ex the town and go back to my home but I also want to help get things sorted out. This might now be my fault but at the same time, it is my mother’s.
Major hasn’t figured out this thing with the book. So I have been in the potion room for a while, looking for a solution. I don’t just want to sit and be useless. If I can help, I want to. I mean this mess is ours to fix.
The door opens and I see Major as he walks into the darkly lit room. He smiles as he gets closer to me. I drop the book on the table.
“Any luck?’’ he asks calmly.
I shake my head.
“I wish we could just burn the book and be rid of it.’’
He laughs “If only it was that easy. Something so powerful can’t easily be destroyed.”
“Like my mother?’’ I ask.
There has been this thought in my head. One that has been on my mind ever since I killed her. What if she is not dead?
I mean it will not be the first time that she would surprise us by coming back. What if she had another body and we got the wrong one? I am scared shitless because I don’t ever want to have to face her again. I don’t want to think about her, I don’t even want to talk about her.
“She is gone Blue, don’t worry about that.’’
“How do you know?’’
I checked the mausoleum, I saw her body.’’
“What if it wasn’t the real her.”
He sighs. He doesn’t also want to think or talk about her. He is on the same page with me. “You have to let this fear go. Your mother is dead, don’t worry about anything.’’
I look at him and the expression on his face is fierce. “Are you going to take the title?’’ I ask him, changing the topic.
“I don’t want to.’’
“Why not?’’
He shrugs “Are you going to stay in the coven?’’
This is what he has been wanting to ask me. I have known for a while “I don’t belong here.’’ I tell him honestly.
He frowns “Because you are a werewolf?’’
I shake my head “Because of my mother. You know that the people in this place will never respect me. I will only bring reminders of the past.”
“Is that what you are worried about?’’
I shake my head “I have a family. They don’t belong here either.’
“What If things were to change? What If I take over and change all the rules that are in place?’’ He is trying to convince me but that won’t work. I can’t stay here because of all the memories. Because of all the things that have happened.
“It doesn’t make a difference Maj, this place is not home to me anymore.”
I watch him as he sits down opposite me and then he grabs the book in my grip. I let him because we are better off finding a solution with him helping “Would you come to visit? His eyes are fixed on the book, he doesn’t even look at me.
“I wouldn’t mind if you come to visit me at the community.’’
He looks up suddenly “Are witches allowed?’’
I nod my head “anyone is allowed. You are family.’’
My words are true and honest. I consider Major family. He deserves that title and more for all the things that he has done for me. I appreciate him. I appreciate the kindness and everything else.
“You are family too.”
He looks at the book again and I watch him as he flips through the pages. I grab one of the books on the far end of the table and I start searching through it.
The CURSE.
I see a heading and then a spell.
Every magic can be bound, stopped and destroyed. All you need is the source, the beginning and the inception.
Find what makes it strong and that will be its weakness.
“Look at this,’’ I slide the book to him and show him the page. He reaches for it and I watch him as he reads the page I just read.
“What does this mean? There is no explanation here. These are just riddles.”
He is not wrong but this is something.
“Do you think we can handle the book the same way that we handled my mother?’’ I ask him. He furrows his brows in confusion. “Like what if we just have to give in to the attraction that comes from the book. What if that is the only way we can destroy it?’’
He shakes his head “You cannot destroy a book of evil, you should know that by now.”
I know he is talking about the fact that I have one too but it is just a thought. “The book I have didn’t call out to me. It called out to Gyles, I don’t know why.’’
“You want the book to choose someone else?’’ he asks.
I shrug “Not everyone can handle that power. We will just find ourselves another Analise if we do that.’’ he tells me.
I know.
“So what do we do?’’
He shrugs “Let’s call out the book as this says. Let’s give in and then see what happens.”
This is a risk. Just like it was a risk to give in to the book we had. I feel like we have no other choice. There is no other way to end it all.
