Chapter 14

They split up into task teams. The witches were gathered in the slave quarters going over the spell that Sylvain had committed to heart. Occasional obscenities were expelled by Conall as they worked through the challenges brought by doing a spell cast from medieval Europe in modern New Orleans. Miss Suzette was amongst the witches as was Raulf, insisting that their own magick, bayou-born, could provide further input into a solution. The witches agreed with their thinking, adding that they were to contribute towards the channeling of good magickal energy to Anais during the unbinding.

“This is the first time I’ve truly felt that being a vampire sucks.” Marie grumbled, pink streaks stained her cheeks where tears had fallen mere moments ago as she watched her friend battle for her life. “I get that they say that the dark vampire magick may negate the good magick or be drawn into the dark magick that binds her but I can’t help but wish that we could do more than just errands.”

“Don’t see it that way. What we’re doing is needed and it frees them,” V flicked her head in the direction of the witches, “to figure out how to approach the spell. From what Sylvain said, time is critical and in this way, we do help. But you’re right. It does suck. I wish we could do more too. I wish that it was as simple as a vampire turning. If it was, we could give her some blood and she’d heal.”

“Well, why don’t we?” Sophie’s question drew raised and questioning stares from her friends. She responded to their tacit skepticism, waving an arm towards the slave quarters where the witches were gathered in spell dichotomy. “They are powerful witches and obviously have Anais’s best interests at heart. For that I’ll be eternally grateful, regardless of the outcome. We, however, have something they don’t. We have her love and she has ours. V, you mentioned blood and you’re onto something there. We share her blood and she ours. That is a connection that nothing can alter. Witch magick is old and strong but vampire blood is just as old and powerful and I’m willing to bet that the love we share, the blood we share, is stronger than any witch dark, white or royal magick.”

Marie nodded, “I agree about our blood link but what if we’re wrong? I couldn’t live knowing that we contributed to her death. I’m not ready to see her ghost flitting around the plantation. Knowing Anais, she’d stick around once she’s gone to watch over us. I love the dead, y’all know that but I’m not lovin’ the idea of seeing her flit around with our ghosts here.”

“We’re not going to lose her. There’re too many of us here that will fight for her to live. We can’t lose her.” Sophie wrapped Marie in her arms consolingly. “Didn’t Sylvain say that light and dark exists in all?” Sophie’s question was rhetoric, so she continued, “Then that must be true for us too.
