Charlie Gyid by Anysia Eaton (i love reading books txt) 📕

“Miss Drew, you have visitors” shouted the young girl through the door.
“The door is open” Shouted back a very feminine voice.
The girl turned the knob and opened the door.
Laura’s room was bright, it was in complete contrast with the corridor outside. All four of us stepped in. The girl closed the door behind us, leaving us in the room alone with Laura Drew.
Laura was one of those beautiful Wiccans. Her black and long hair bounced down her back, her eyes glistened a ruby red – that must be the German colour. She was tall and slim and wore a long and flattering black robe. She was sat on a single seat sofa.
“Hello, who do I have visiting me?” she asked us.
“Gabby Galice, Wiccan from the Swiss Covert” said Gabby.
“Alison Florel, human” said Alison.
“Brad Walice, Warlock from the Swiss Covert” said Brad.
Laura picked up her juice drink and placed it on her bottom lip to drink the contents.
“Charlie Gyid Wiccan from the Swiss Covert” I said.
She spat out her juice at my name.
“Charlie..?” is all she managed to spit out. She stood and walked to me. She placed her hands on both my cheeks “Of course, how could I not have recognised you? You look so much like Sarah”
“Did you know my mom well?” I asked her as she removed her hands.
“Did I know her well?” she let out a laugh “I only grew up with her. I only shared a room with her and Tasha at school”
“I thought you were German and she was Swiss?” asked Brad.
“I am a German Wiccan but I moved to the Swiss Covert with my father – he wanted to teach Potions there – but I moved back here to start teaching here” she replied with a small smile on her face.
I looked around her room until I found the book Alison and Gabby showed me. It was stuffed into her bookcase.
“You wrote an article about the orb in that book over there” I said pointing at the book in her shelf.
She stood up and walked to the book and brought it over to me.
“Yes, I did, however, it was not the original draft. The original, Sarah and Jerome dismissed. They refused to let me publish everything they told me.” mentioned Laura.
I sat down opposite her.
“Well, that’s what I’m here to talk to you about. I want to know everything there is to know” I said to her.
“Well, I hope you have a lot of time as this might take a while.” I nodded. “Well, where to start, it was given to your mother when she first started to date Jerome. She was told that should she have a baby with Jerome, that baby will be the most powerful Wiccan or Warlock ever to have existed, and the power of this baby would be significantly increased when he or she opens the box on his or her sixteenth birthday. She was told that all matter of power would be placed into your body. When the box is opened by you, the orb will combine itself with your heart and soul increasing your power and knowledge of magic.”
“What sort of power?” asked Brad.
“Well, you’d able to control anything. Hang on, let me think of a good example, oh I know. An ordinary Wiccan or Warlock no matter how powerful can only control certain elements of the weather, they can never fully changed the weather, however, when the orb combines with you, you would be able to change the whole course of the weather. You could change the weather in the winter into summer weather. It could throw the whole world into chaos.” Explained Laura sitting up and leaning towards me.
“So you mean she will get unearthly powers?” asked Gabby.
“You could put it that way yes” replied Laura.
“No wonder they refused to tell you Charlie” commented Alison.
“Who refused to tell you?” asked Laura.
“Sir Mallot, Mistress Halsente and Jeff Ballon” I answered.
“Ah, of course they would. Sir Mallot and Mistress Halsente seem to think that with great power comes great responsibility and pressure, they wouldn’t want that being placed on your shoulders. And then Jeff Ballon, he would do whatever he was told to do when it involved the well being of Jerome’s baby” explained Laura relaxing back in her chair “I hope you are satisfied with what I had to say.”
“Of course, is there anything else?” I asked.
“I would like to ask you one question” she commented.
I nodded for her to continue.
“Well, what are you doing here when Malietta could be on to you?” asked Laura.
“We’re hoping we can be back before Malietta knows I’ve even left the covert.” I replied to her.
“So do I” Laura smiled.

CHAPTER 12
TAKEN
“Thank you” I said as Me, Gabby, Alison and Brad headed out of the room.
“You’re welcome, Charlie, wish everybody well for me” she replied standing by the door frame.
“I will” I said giving her a final smile and a wave.
I heard the door shut as we turned the corner in the corridor.
“I didn’t realise I was in love with a power freak to be” laughed Brad.
“A power freak is someone who wants to gain lots of power not someone who has lots of power” I laughed back.
His ears went a little pink. “Yeh alright”
On the way out we took several wrong turns. This place was just as hard to navigate as the Swiss Covert was.
‘You and I are going to have a very serious talk when you get back to the Covert, young lady, now tell me where you are so I can come and get you’
“They’re worried about us. Jeff has just called me” I said to the others as we finally reached the door to exit.
“Tell him we’ll meet him back at the Covert we’re on our way back” said Gabby as we took our step out into the open, outside the German Covert.
‘We are on our way back to the Covert’
‘Good. I shall meet you there’
We started our way down to the trees. The sun was setting. How long had we spent talking to Laura? We needed to start moving if we were going to be on the other side of the trees in time for the taxi to pick us up. The area of trees was full of shadows, it was hard to tell where the tree roots were, so we were moving extra slow. Had we not been walking in silence I wouldn’t have heard the slight whisper “Alect tresco remot hardesk ataske”
The trees suddenly started moving around us, enclosing us. As the trees closed in, the area darkened in shadows. I could just see a figure fit through a gap in the trees.
“flementa” the figure said. I swore I recognised that voice.
A flame came up on the figures hand, it was then we saw who this figure was. The wet sponge of realisation hit us all at the same moment. Malietta. All of our hearts gave a leap. The shock of her appearance left us all frozen on the spot, vulnerable.
“Telesca froza” The others turned a pale white, frozen completely on the spot.
“So nice to finally meet you in person” laughed Malietta as I looked around for any escape route.
There was none.
“I’m glad I can’t say the same to you” I sneered through gritted teeth. I was trying to make it powerful but my nerves showed through my voice.
“Ooo, you know how to play, it’s a shame your nerves aren’t as strong” laughed Malietta.
“Froscka momenta” the words just slipped out of my mouth.
The earth around us started to rubble but within seconds she stopped it with a counter charm.
“Telesca froza” she shouted.
Everything went black.
...
“She said she was on her way back. It’s been three days” grumbled Jeff, his voice squeaking with worry. He was pacing inside of my room, Mistress Halsente and Sir Mallot where sat on the sofa, waiting, not very patiently waiting.
“If she said she was on her way Jeff, she’ll be on her way” replied Mistress Halsente, trying to hide the fear from her own voice.
The door burst open and in ran Laura Drew, followed closely by Brad, Gabby and Alison.
“Where’s Charlie?” asked Jeff as all three approached them.
“She came to see me” explained Laura.
“Why?” asked Jeff.
“She wanted to know the full power of the orb, she left but I knew something was wrong, I just saw you know who carrying her off. I was able to unfreeze these. I don’t know where she has taken her” Laura spat out.
Jeff flopped on the sofa and dropped his head in his hands. Small whimpers could heard from him.
“Jeff...” started Mistress Halsente but Jeff interrupted “No, don’t. I wanted to protect her and now she’s...” he burst into more tears.
...
My eyes started to open, I could feel that my arms were strung up. I was being held in the middle of the room. I was facing a great big chair, and then in the corner a large black cauldron. Even from where I was I could see something was bubbling inside of it. I was suspended in the air. My arms were tired up by rope to the ceiling, and then my legs tied to the floor. I could see Malietta sat in the chair, staring intensely at me. I looked back at her into her pitch black eyes.
“You’ve been a pain in my life for over sixteen years, it’ll be good to finally be rid of you” hissed Malietta with a wicked smile on his face.
“You can’t kill me until you get the box and you know it” I hissed back.
She stood at my words and walked to me. Her face was inches from mine.
“No, but I can make you suffer” she whispered threateningly.
“You can torture me as much as you like, but even I know you can’t do that forever. You are no closer to getting the box now then you were the day you killed my parents” I growled.
“I would think again, Charlie, I am close to getting the box and you are going to help me” she laughed. She turned to the door and shouted “Geska”
A small girl came through the door. It was the girl who I had seen in the lounge in my house. She looked scarily like Malietta.
“Yes ma’am” Geska bowed to her.
“Get the tools” ordered Malietta.
I couldn’t help but let the fear flow through my body at the wicked smile that was shared between the two devils. The girl, Geska, rushed out and within a few minutes came back in with a tray of stuff, knifes, tubes, and blades.
I couldn’t help but gulp.
Malietta chanted “Alesheta gudar”
The large black cauldron lifted up and moved over to me. My legs could just about feel the side of the cauldron. The heat of it burnt the skin on my leg and I couldn’t help but let out a scream.
Malietta hovered her hand over the knifes obviously trying to pick the best one for the job. She finally chose one. It was a long curved blade and a round cylinder at the end of the handle. She lifted it so I could see the blade. Another tray was brought in with different ingredients.
“ A flower of a whitened rose,” she placed in a flower head in cauldron . As she said each thing she placed it in the cauldron, keeping the knife in her left hand. “a ruby from the reddest sea, a grain from the richest hayfield, a victory
