Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 79

TANYA.

I had ignored the whispers, I had been hearing them the whole time that I had been here. Voices echoing in the empty space. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I felt the fingers touch my arm. My heart dropped when I saw that it was Kim. Why was she here? The only thing that had made my fate worthwhile was that my sister was still free. Yet here the i***t was walking herself into their prison. “I’m here to rescue you.” She told me sounding soo f*****g pleased with herself. I didn’t want to sound ungrateful, I know that she was trying to help but I was too tired to fight the look of exasperation that was on my face. “really? I suppose you have a plan then?” I asked, already knowing the answer. “Well…. not exactly. I figured that we would just figure it out as we go.” She said. “First we need to get these cuffs off you.” She announced confidently. She began trying to get them off using magic. Did she really think that I hadn’t already tried that. She looked confused when it didn’t work. I was about to say something sarcastic when we heard voices approaching. I whispered for her to go and hide further into the prison block.

COUNCIL MEMBER WHITE.

As Ruby and I approached the cell we saw the witch sitting up on the bed. I made the introductions and Ruby read off a list of offences that Tanya was being accused of. Tanya began to cry, knowing that she wasn’t going to get out of this. Her actions had caught up with her and now she would have to pay the price. I took a deep breath, trying to ignore the foul stench of damp and urine that hung in the air. I focused my thoughts and energy. “Tell us everything.” I told her. I could see that she had no intention of telling us anything. The look of shock and horror on her face when the words began tumbling from her mouth was priceless. I never grew tired of that.

TANYA.

What the f**k was happening? I couldn’t stop talking. I told these pricks everything. I told them about killing Mary because her birth led to the death of my mother. I told them about giving Kim the magic that had made Chris give in to her advances. I told them about my relationship with Jason. I told them everything. I couldn’t help it. I tried so desperately to stop but it was as if the truth was being compelled from me in some way. I thought that I was done when I got to the part where I’d been caught and thrown into this stinking cell. Then the words continued. My eyes were wide with horror oh no!! I was telling them about Kim coming to attempt to rescue me. I f*****g told them that she was still here. I wanted to bite my tongue off just to shut myself up.

RUBY.

I had listened intently to Tanya’s story. I had heard of this witch and knew that she was talented. It seemed a shame to waste her abilities, but unfortunately she hadn’t exactly left a lot of wiggle room for doubt. When she said that her sister was hiding somewhere in the building my interest was peaked. I should be able to sense her power. Either she was an exceptionally gifted witch, so powerful that she was able to hide her power even from me. Or she was an inept one with such a small energy that it hadn’t registered with me.

I suggested to council member White that we find this sister. Tanya fought against the chains attaching her to the back wall. She screamed at us, tears rolling down her face. I shook my head. What a waste. We began to make our way further back into the depths of the prison building . There she was, just standing in the corner of a cell. She had her eyes closed, almost silently chanting. Her hands stretched out in front of her. We stood there watching her bemused. She clearly hadn’t realised that magic doesn’t work in these cells. That’s why I had wanted council member White to take the lead in the interrogation. My magic wouldn’t have worked on her inside the cell, but his ability went beyond magic. At least this answered my question, I thought to myself. Clearly, it was that she is inept.

KIM.

Tanya had told me to hide. I was waiting a few cells back, waiting for them to leave so that I could resume trying to get my sister out of this horrible place. I heard everything. I couldn’t believe it when I heard Tanya admitting to all that. My heart stopped when she told them I was there. Why would she do that to me? I didn’t,

understand. I moved further back into the darkest part of the building. I heard them getting closer. They would find me at any minute.

I crammed myself into a corner, closed my eyes, and focused with everything that I had. I began to quietly chant an illusion spell so that when they reached the cell I was hiding in, it would appear empty. I stayed that way for what seemed like a long time. Surely, they had given up and left by now. I hadn’t heard anything except Tanya’s screams and tears for a while. It must be safe by now. I slowly opened my eyes, still chanting, and gasped in shock.

They were stood right in front of me. They looked amused. I didn’t understand how they had seen me. That spell should have worked. It was an easy spell that I had used many times before. The woman seemed to take pity on me, reading my confusion all over my face. “The cells are warded against magic. So that prisoners of a magical nature can be contained safely.” She informed me. I felt my cheeks flush with red. They had just stood there watching. Letting me make a fool of myself, all the while knowing that. The absolute f*****g arseholes!
