Chapter Seventeen

The next morning over breakfast, inspiration struck and while Vinnie still had no idea what to do about appointing a new leader of the coven, she did know how to continue her investigation. There was still a nagging thought at the back of her mind that Thistle was not the one who had done this even if all of the evidence pointed towards her. There had to be something they weren’t seeing.

Thistle was not supposed to be sent away until later in the day, so Vinnie rushed Diggy through an unusual-for-them breakfast of cold cereal and milk before hustling them off to the coven headquarters via travel orb. Diggy was bleary eyed as she muttered the words to make them travel, but still managed to catch Vinnie before she fell over upon arrival.

Once Vinnie had her bearings, she rushed off to the room where Thistle was being kept while Diggy trailed behind her. The poor girl had been woken up so early that she had put her black sweater on inside out but since it was a homemade sweater, Vinnie was the only one who could really tell since she had been the one to make it.

Knocking on the door, Vinnie threw it open as soon as she heard Thistle tell her to come in. The poor witch was sitting on the bed, her head hanging down. She was wearing the same dress that she had been wearing the day before, but now it was wrinkled and made her look sad.

“I’m so glad you are still here because I have a few more questions,” Vinnie said.

She dragged the chair over to sit next to Thistle and plopped herself down into it. Thistle gave her a confused look which made sense considering Vinnie had been the one to accuse her of murder before.

“I wanted to ask you about the potions,” Vinnie said. “Before you said you are the only one allowed in the potion room, but is it kept locked?”

“I didn’t say I was the only one allowed in,” Thistle said. “I just said I was the only one who goes in there. Anyone can go in the potion room. It isn’t kept locked. If someone else wants to learn about making potions, they are more than welcome to.”

Suddenly it was like time stopped for Vinnie. She thought she had been doing such a good job investigating, but she hadn’t even been listening. She heard what she wanted to hear, not what Thistle had actually been saying. At this point, Diggy was slipping into the room to listen also.

“So you mean that any of the witches in the coven could have gone in and made that potion?” Vinnie said slowly.

“I suppose so, yes,” Thistle said. “I mean, they would have had to unless somehow they made it at home and brought it here.”

All of the evidence Vinnie thought she had to put Thistle away fro the murder was suddenly shifting. If anyone had access to the potion room, then anyone could have done it.
