At lakshmi’s house; In Lakshmi’s room
“Mia what are you even saying to me? How can you decide to give Alyssa your necklace? If you do that then Alyssa would…” Lakshmi was protesting…protesting couldn’t even qualify how aggressive she was sounding.
“You have to calm down” Mia interrupted her and then something dawned on Lakshmi. She wasn’t the one who told Mia about Alyssa’s outrageous demand so how did Mia find out?
“My father told me” Mia read Lakshmi’s mind and answered her question even before she could ask.
“Hmmn” Lakshmi sighed before she closed her eyes very slowly and buried her face in her palms like she usually did when she was disturbed.
“You don’t have to worry she will be here soon with your brother. I already informed her that I was willing to give her the necklace” Mia reminded Lakshmi.
The room just screamed in silence because on one hand Mia was thinking about why her father hadn’t shown up with the fake necklace yet and on the other hand Lakshmi was busy thinking about the awful things Alyssa would do when she finally gets her hand on the necklace.
“Okay let’s get this over with. I don’t have much time. I am a very busy witch you know” Alyssa rolled her eyes and folded her hands as she appeared in front of the girls.
“We know” Lakshmi raised one of her eyebrows and pouted her lips.
“So where is my brother…I thought you needed him to be present or something?” Lakshmi asked and stood up from the chair she was sitting on.
“Uhh… I knew I forgot something” Alyssa growled and disappeared again before she appeared with Scott…he looked so tired and half dead.
“What did you do to him, you witch?” Lakshmi was angry and ready to attack Alyssa.
“I’m in charge here” she blew a heavy wind that made Lakshmi fall on her bed.
“Both of you stop it. You are here to free Scott from your spell and you are here to receive your brother so stop getting at each other’s necks’ ‘ Mia scolded the two girls.
She closed her eyes very tightly and took off her necklace…her original necklace…her father wasn’t able to make it in time to swap it and since she had already passed the message to Alyssa that she is going to give her the necklace…Mia was left with no other choice than to take off her original necklace.
But she remembered what her father told her.
“I will give you the necklace but only if you say that you will never be able to cast a spell on Scott or any other member of Lakshmi’s family” Mia jiggled the necklace in the air as if she was using it to call a puppy.
“How funny…. so autistic Mia is now bargaining with me hmmn funny…oh well so long as I can still taunt you then we have a deal” Alyssa admitted as she began to murmur some words to everyone’s hearing.
“You didn’t mention it in your chant?” Mia interrupted her and reminded her at the same time.
Alyssa opened her eyes and dropped her floating hands from the air to look at Mia. She scoffed and started to murmur each and every word Mia made her admit earlier.
Alyssa smiled as she looked at Scott who now fell completely unconscious.
“You will have to take him back to that mental hospital somehow and get your parents to let him go.
He is fine now but he won’t have any memories of the things I made him do…he won’t even remember me. As a matter of fact I don’t even exist to him” Alyssa smiled as she snatched the necklace from Mia.
“That’s even better” Lakshmi rolled her eyes just before Alyssa disappeared.
“Can you teleport us there Mia?” Lakshmi shook her friend’s hand.
“No I can’t…I don’t have my necklace” Mia was very sad…
“Dad” she looked at her father standing in front of her though only she could see him.
“Here is your necklace…I will explain later” he threw the necklace on the floor and she picked it up before she teleported herself and Scott to the hospital and then she teleported back to Lakshmi’s room.
Alyssa’s POV
I am going to make my mum swallow all the awful words that she had said to me before now…didn’t she say I couldn’t do anything right? Well when I show her this then she would regret it.
I was so happy as I played with the necklace while I sat on the couch in our sitting room waiting for my mom.
“You are back” I sprung up from the couch joyfully.
“Yes and why won’t I be back…and what is making you smile like you just won a lottery?” My mother looked at me suspiciously… as she scribbled her face.
I used my hands to fan myself and jiggled the necklace in mid air.
“OH MY GUSH” my mom gasped. She couldn’t believe it.
“You got the necklace?” She asked and snatched it from my hand.
“Yes I did” I smiled and jiggled my hips with my hands on my waist.
“So you aren’t useless after all?” My mum arched an eyebrow and that made me kind of confused.
“Did you for once think that I was useless?” I raised an eyebrow at her.
“Hmmn let’s leave that and celebrate this little victory of yours” my mum was so excited.
“No, let’s just test its powers first,” I suggested with a huge smile.
“You are right about that. There is an invisibility spell I have been wanting to try out…I have mixed the portion and all that is left for me to do is to add this necklace” my mum remembered and I escorted her to her potion room.
“I have never been more proud of you in my entire life. ” My mum stirred the big metallic pot with a wooden spoon.
“WOAH!… I have never seen any of your potions bubble like that before ” I moved away from the pot as some of its contents were pouring on the floor…the pot contents were over boiling.
“Yes because this is the most powerful spell ever…and it needs the most powerful and most indestructible item to complete it” my mum explained and looked at the necklace she was holding.
“It’s time,” she declared.
