WINIFRED'S POV
We follow the red light coming from my book to a house in middle of the street. It's bigger than others around. By help of my sharp nails, I torn the window barrier and get inside. I rather slap both Mary and Sarah to make them be truly silent and don't make noises which would expose us. We're close to the book. My darling must be the room on left.
And I'm right. And even more than that. Because my precious is here as well. Caroline. She lies on the bed, along with that little girl.
"Bingo." Sarah chuckles. I command her to stay back and take the book instead. I doubt myself but I dedicate to sit on the bed in the end. She's so beautiful and innocent lying here like this. My little Caroline looks so out of touch, but I could make it happen just now.
I kneel and place my lips on hers, kissing her. "CAROLINE!" I turn and frown as I see the little bastard is awake. "Grab her!" I order, I'm ruined by a hysteric screaming. Caroline's screaming.
"DANI! Let her go! Oh my God, aren't you a witch?! OH GOD NO! Help me!" She screams in horror. "Caroline, stop! It's me! Me, Winifred." I assure her but it does not work as she pushes me away. "What are you doing?!" I turn angry as she looks like she's about to fight me.
"Let go my sister or I'll kill you, you monster! You heard me?! I'll kill you!" She shouts. These words stab me worse than a knife. Just like 300 years ago. I bursted in tears of anger. "And I thought you could have love me! Liar!"
She stares at me in shock, confused. "Dani! Caroline!" It's the thief and that girl of his. "Soon all of you die!" I shout and by wave of arm make me and my sisters be placed on our brooms along with that little bastard. "DANI!" Caroline yells and jumps out of the window with a desperate try to catch her. She fails and with scream starts to fall on ground.
I don't want to, but my book opens and places a spell that makes Caroline fall on ground safely.
"Who do you think you are?!" I fight my book, but in the end I'm somehow glad the book placed the spell. But why? She wanted to kill me. Now, it all was just an illusion. I knew it but I had hopes. I had hopes because I realized I actually do care for her. Now I earned it in return. Love will never exist for me.
No true love to save me and my sisters's lives was happening. I was blinded by my revenge, that I didn't noticed my book showed me the recent spell. The spell that was casted on Caroline.
CAROLINE'S POV
"We must save, Dani! Quickly!" Max orders. With Allison we follow him to car, but I feel very unwell. And confused. "Max, who are they? And why did one of these knew me in first place?!" I ask, but no answers. "She just wanted to manipulate you!" It looked like everything but manipulation?
"Caroline, you don't look your best, we can already thank God you survived the fall! It would be better of you staying here. You know this is dangerous and witches aren't your thing." Allison exclaims.
She is right. Witches were my greatest fear but somehow I wasn't fighting it that much anymore. I feel terrible anyway. "But Dani-"
Both of them start ro comfort me. "She'll be fine. We'll bring her home faster than you say Halloween." I smile as Max hugs me. "I promise." I trust him and let him go by side of Allison. He was in good hands after all. I believed them. Max drove fast so I lost them from my sight in a moment.
I returned home, sat on the couch, unpatient but playing it cool. "What's that?" I mutter when I see something shining on my wrist. It's a bracelet. Green diamond bracelet. Exact colour that witch had. I stare into it for a moment until a dark green sparkle surround me. I panically fight it but it is only a moment. Just a small puff. I was fine, but my mind wasn't.
"The witch. Her sisters. The City Hall. The dance. The hug. The burn...The kiss. Winnie?" I mumble and yell out "I REMEMBER!"
No! They used the forgetting spell on me. How naive I was! What am I gonna do? I must find her as soon as possible, the time is running out. But what is that actually happening to me? What will I prove if I find her? Nothing. The forgetting spell caused me to behave opposite and I broke Winifred's heart. Just like Katharina did. Oh dear.
This was losted. It hurted so much. It hurted because I knew now. I was actually in love with her. But what to do with it? She will never see me as anything as one of these from whom she will suck life. I can try fix it but what if it not works out? What if I make it worse? And what if she never felt a single feeling for me? Or what if she did? I stand up and walk out of the house, staring in the night that was about to end soon.
A million thoughts in my head
Should I let my heart keep listening
I can't decide
What's wrong, what's right
Which way should I go
If only I knew what my heart was telling me
Don't know what I'm feeling
Is this just a dream?
Ah oh, yeah
If only I could read the signs in front of me
I could find the way to who I'm meant to be
Ah oh, if only
If only
If only
(I start to run straight way. No clue where to or why, but I felt like something was moving me forward. Memories of mine. Memory of Winifred. My Winnie.)
Every step, every word
With every hour I am falling in
If only I knew what my heart was telling me
Don't know what I'm feeling
Is this just a dream?
Ah oh, yeah
If only I could read the signs in front of me
I could find the way to who I'm meant to be
Ah oh, if only
Yeah
(I smile with few tears bitching my eyes as I remember of the way I was scared of Winifred but then slowly taught myself to not judge each witch the same. How she tried to be strict and heartless, but I made her to soften up for me in the end. If the person can change for you, isn't it the most important act?)
If only I knew what my heart was telling me
Don't know what I'm feeling
Is this just a dream?
Ah oh
If only I could read the signs in front of me
I could find the way to who I'm meant to be
Ah oh
If only, yeah
If only, yeah
If only, yeah
If only, yeah
If only
I stop in the middle of the road and sigh. "This is hopeless. I don't know where to go." I jump back when voice appears behind me. "Maybe the way your heart leads."
I want to yell because all I see is a person, propably a ghost, levitating close to me. But I stay amazed and speechless when I notice the person is insanely similiar to me.
"K-katharina?" I ask, trembling. "The pleasure is on my side." I can't believe it's her. She really looked like me. I'd swear it's like my mirror reflection. They all were right. "How did you appeared here?" I ask. I have tons of other questions but I can't come up with them. "Because I won't let you make the same mistake I did many years ago." She answers.
"I loved Winifred and got blinded by what's right for others and not for me. I made the worst choice and mistake in my life, so I will stay as a ghost forever." The heartbreak haunted me. "Why? Can't you just rest?" She shooks head. "I can't rest in peace, people who commit suicide aren't allowed."
"Suicide? You..you commited suicide?"
"The night they said I broke Winifred's heart I took my life. I pretended to love Mayor's son to not get killed by the villagers for loving a witch. I realized it all so late. I'd rather die by Winifred's side, knowing she loves me, than like this. I couldn't bare to live with the fact I lost the love of my life, so I rather ended it. Now as my punishment I'm a ghost, who will never find way to heaven."
Poor thing. "I'm so sorry. I knew there was something more to it. Winifred loves you. She still does. If you appear to her, maybe it all can be solved!" She disagrees. "No, Caroline, it's not me who can solve it. No one, but you." I shiver.
"But I done my mistakes as well. Maybe even worse! And I have no gurantee she would feel the same way about me. Not now anymore."
"She loves you. And I know you can save her. Save her sisters. Thackery. And maybe even me. It takes only you and your golden heart to give." I can't believe it. "What if not?"
She touches me with her cold air palm. "There's only yes, my dear. Now head this way, to the cemetary." I turn the way to see some flashes coming. "I see. But, I need to ask. Is there a reason we look so alike? It's just-"
"What do you see in me?" I don't know where she heads with this. "Just say what you see. Just say." We make an eye contact.
"Myself." She smiles for herself. "And that's right. You are me, Caroline. And I am you." She flies closer to me. "We are one." I'm confused. "What do you think?" Then she goes through me and like a mist disappears. I shake as it happened to realize she's gone.
"Katharina?" Was she even real? Or a hallucination. This or that. She gave me faith. And I'll keep it. "I'm coming, Winnie." I whisper and run to the cemetary.
