After using the sleeping potion on Viola, I felt horrible. I hated doing this to her, but I wish she wasn’t going to be the queen of the prophecy. If it were anyone else, I probably wouldn’t be worried, but Viola. Man, I feel like there is a pit in the bottom of my stomach. Something about it didn’t feel right here.

Master Freyer opens up the door and walks outside the compound, his navy robe with a yellow corded belt that holds the robe to his tiny frame sweeping across the ground. His eyes are a very light blue color, almost a milky white. He is an elderly man with greying brown hair which looks like a monk’s cut from the middle ages.

Coming around the SUV, I hear his vexatious voice creeping into my ears, “Good. I am glad you were able to get her with no issue. We’ve been watching her for far too long to let those idiots get in our way. Now why don’t you take her down to the transformation chamber and lock her up. She should be awake soon,” he says pushing up his wire framed glasses. It seems no matter how much he doesn they just seem to keep falling down his leathery face. “Yes, sir,” I say before turning to more members of the coven coming out the door behind him. “You and you, come with me. I am going to need your help.” They both jump up and follow me out to the SUV. I open the back door. Viola’s head falls from its resting place against the door and onto the seat. I quickly move my hand under her head to slow the fall before she hits the seat too hard.

One of the members opens the other side up and gets in while the other grabs Viola under her arms and drags her out of the SUV. Damn, I must have used more of the sleeping potion than I thought. She is out like a light. The coven member who got in the SUV slides through the vehicle and grabs her feet before they flop on the ground. They are holding her and both look at me for commands.

“Follow me,” I say with as much command in my voice as I can muster. They don’t argue, none in the coven argue. They just do as they're told. I wish just once, someone would fight back. But no one does, they are lemmings following the lead of Master Freyer.

We head back inside the compound. As we enter the door, we go to our left and down the stairs, circling on ourselves as we travel deeper into the earth. It is cool and damp down here. We use this part of the compound to help those shifters who transform during special times of the night. We also like to use them for when transformations are hard for the individual. It’s also used as cells to house witches who have gone off the sacred ground, so to speak.
