Chapter 7

“No! Benji! No!”

“Miranda! Wake up!”

Miranda awoke with a start. She was sitting at her desk, having fallen asleep late that morning after barely sleeping the night before.

Leona squeezed her shoulder and sat on a chair beside her. “You have to sleep at night. You need to take care of yourself.”

“I know,” Miranda mumbled, smoothing back her disheveled red hair. “I just can’t stop worrying.”

Leona was about to leave for her afternoon shift at the tavern. She supported both of them, as Miranda had lost her job a few months ago after the business shut down. Miranda doubted she could have concentrated at work right now anyway.

“What’s wrong?” Leona asked.

“I—I’m just upset. I don’t know if I can defeat Erica. Her and the others might be too strong for me. They’re working together to stop us. I checked last night, and Gareth was watching James the whole time. I could hardly take control of him then. We had such a great plan, but it’s all falling apart.”

Leona shut her eyes for a moment. When she looked back at Miranda, her dark eyes were glistened with tears. “I know this is hard for you, and believe me, if I could do it instead if you, I would. It’s more my fight than….”

“No! We all suffered. I’m with you in this. I promise you.”

Leona nodded, wiping away a few tears. “I just don’t have your power. If only I’d been born a witch. If only….” She stood and walked away a few paces.

Miranda watched her, wishing she could heal the wound in her sister’s heart. All four of them were broken—Miranda, Leona, and their two other siblings. Nothing would really make up for what they’d lost, what they’d gone through, but Leona had come up with the plan to avenge the deaths of their family members. Two lives for three, one of those the most innocent of them all.

It had taken weeks for Leona to convince Miranda to go along with it. It seemed too abhorrent at first. Murder? But Leona said it was only fair. It was right, because what the witches had done was so wrong.

But they have children, Miranda had said.

Their children are nearly grown, Leona had replied. And they’ll still have their fathers. It meant so much to Leona, and she had sacrificed more than any of their siblings. Leona had raised them from when Miranda was six. She’d given up marriage and a family of her own to raise three children—three scarred children who’d been emotionally and physically abused. Miranda owed her sister everything.

Two lives for three. If her sister’s tears didn’t motivate her enough, her brother’s dying screams would kindle the vengeful fire she needed within.

Miranda walked over to her sister and placed a hand on her shoulder. “I’ll do anything you need.”

Leona turned and looked down at her. “I’m glad to hear you say that. I think I know a way around this.”
