Chapter 8

And here the night of full moon comes, the wind is blowing, there is an immense silence outside. Only the rustling of leaves could be heard. The castle is secured, and the spell is ready.

The children are scared. Asking for their parents and crying. The sleeping arrangement was made in the hall for the children. Aaron's quite friendly with the children, he plays with them and read them stories, so they fall asleep. He's always been the kind one.

I was worried about mom and dad because somehow I knew that it's not gonna work. I should be out with them. But they always want to try making amendments on their own first. I would let them, but it's dangerous, but still, they're out.

"Boom"

The full moon showed, and the werewolves are heating up. And here they are converted into the werewolves. And my mom starts murmuring the spell.

The scent of my blood is driving them nuts. They are going crazy while running from one tree to another. It was quite strategic, at least it's buying mum some time to undo the spell.

Mum's murmuring but nothings happening. And all of a sudden a werewolves starts howling, and one after another, this goes in all the werewolves. They are howling in pain. It's just about time, but my mom fails to do it. She needs a backup, someone powerful enough to help her do the spell.

And here another full moon night passes and we failed again.

The next morning come when everyone's back to normal. I go out to see henry. I saw him, and he gave me a big hug.

"I'm sorry, we failed again", I said

"Hey, it's okey, it isn't yer fault."

"I don't know what should we do."

"Ye just go and take some rest, eh?"

"Yeah you too, you must be tired", I said. He kissed me on my forehead and left.

Everybody's resting now, I'm tired too, but I cannot rest until henry comes out of this misery.

I was trying to find a way to undo the spell and fall asleep. I woke up when my mum came,

"Hey, you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine", I said. "You good?"

And she nodded.

"Come downstairs; breakfast's ready."

"Yeah, okay", I said and went to the bathroom.

While on the breakfast, mum and Aaron were discussing the spell.

"Mother, what are the odds, you're the powerful witch in the world yet you cannot defeat a bunch of witches."

"Wicked witches," I said.

"Haha, yeah evil, wicked witches, we should name them something, right," my dad said, while he was laughing. He wanted to change everyone's serious and stressed mood.

"What do you say, Grace, should we call them WW?"

"WHAT WW", Aaron said.

"The great Wicked Witches", said my dad.

"Okay, apart from this, what should we do now?" Aaron said. "How can you guys laugh when we are under serious werewolf crisis."

"Aaron", dad said.

"What, we need to think something."

"Can't you see your mum's worried?. We can discuss it later, okay?"

"Okay", Aaron said.

And we continued our breakfast.
