**TITLE: The Perfect 420**
**Ella’s POV**
“Well, it seems we’ve got ourselves a witch,” I whispered, my heart racing as the floorboards beneath us began to vibrate ominously. The air was thick with tension, and I could feel the energy crackling around us. Liam was at my side in an instant, his eyes darting out the window beside me, his expression a mix of determination and dread.
“You distract her,” he commanded, his voice low and steady, but I could hear the urgency lacing his words. “I’ll try to sneak up on her.”
I shot him a skeptical glance, my brow furrowing in disbelief. “You’re not seriously thinking of capturing a witch, are you?” I asked, incredulity dripping from my tone.
The look Liam shot back at me was all the answer I needed. Before I could voice my concerns, he had slipped through the back door, leaving me alone to face the brewing storm. I cursed under my breath, feeling the weight of the moment settle heavily on my shoulders. Gripping a nearby pillar for support, I felt the house shudder around me, dust and debris cascading from the ceiling. At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before the structure collapsed entirely.
With a deep breath to steady myself, I burst out into the bright sunlight and approached the witch. She recoiled, her mutterings intensifying as she turned her wrath toward me. Just like that, the quaking ceased, but I wasn’t given a moment to breathe. A sudden rush of air slammed into my chest, knocking the wind out of me.
I gasped, stumbling backward from the sheer force of the impact. Before I could regain my balance, I saw the witch raise her hand, preparing to unleash another attack. This time, I was ready; I rolled to the side just in time, narrowly avoiding the invisible blow that shattered the porch railing behind me.
“You don’t belong here!” she screamed, fury etched across her face as she hurled another blast of air in my direction. “This is our place! Not yours!”
I raised my hands, half-expecting her to strike again, but I dared not look behind her at the slender figure stealthily moving through the trees. Liam. I had to keep her attention on me.
“I’m just looking for information,” I called out, my voice steady despite the chaos. “Maybe we can help each other.”
“I don’t need your help!” the witch retorted, her voice filled with venom. She unleashed another gust of wind that grazed my shoulder, sending a jolt of pain through me, but I pressed on, weaving my way closer to her.
“Everyone needs something,” I countered, desperation creeping into my tone. “There must be some kind of agreement we can come to.”
“How about you just leave me and my coven the fuck alone?!” she screamed, her frustration palpable. In an instant, she began gathering a massive orb of air between her hands, far larger than any before, her arms pulled back like a coiled spring ready to unleash chaos.
But before she could launch it, Liam sprang into action. He tackled her from behind, and her terrified scream echoed through the clearing as the ball of air shot up into the trees, scattering pine needles like confetti. With a swift motion, he forced a gag into her mouth and pinned her to the forest floor. She writhed beneath him, a wild animal caught in a trap, but Liam’s strength prevailed. He bound her hands behind her back with a strip of fabric that looked ominously stained.
Once he had her secured, he sat back on his heels, panting heavily, and looked up at me, his expression a mixture of triumph and concern. I crouched down to meet the witch’s gaze, and my heart sank. She was so young—no older than sixteen, if that. The fear in her eyes sent a pang of sympathy through me.
“We’re not going to hurt you,” I assured her gently, trying to soften the situation. “We just need information.”
The witch glanced between us, confusion flickering in her eyes. Liam, sensing the shift, turned his head slightly as if listening to Julie, and then nodded at me. “Julie says we should probably get her inside. More may be coming.”
I nodded in agreement, and together we lifted the squirming witch, her body thrashing against our grip, and carried her inside. We settled her into a small armchair in the living room, where Liam quickly tied her down with the bloodstained rope he had found. I swallowed hard, not daring to ask whose blood it was.
Once we were finished, Liam leaned in to listen to Julie again, his brow furrowing as he processed her words. “Julie recognizes her. She’s one of Margaret’s.”
At the mention of Julie again, the witch froze, her eyes darting around in confusion. She began to mumble incoherently behind her gag, and when Liam cautiously removed it, she blurted out, “You’re clairvoyant?”
Liam blinked, exchanging a glance with me that spoke volumes before he replied, “Something like that.”
The witch’s eyes widened in disbelief, making her seem even younger than before. “So you can contact the dead, then! I’ve been trying to do it for so long, but it never works. If I help you, can you contact someone for me?”
Liam’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. He looked at me, and I shrugged, leaving the decision in his hands.
Finally, he straightened his posture, determination etched on his face. “We’re looking for Margaret’s safe, but it’s protected by dark spirits. Can you dispel them?”
The witch hesitated, her mind racing as she weighed her options. “I can’t dispel them entirely,” she admitted slowly, “but I can distract them long enough for you to get into the safe.” Her expression shifted, her eyes narrowing. “What do you need from there, anyway? Those were Margaret’s things.”
As the tension in the room began to dissipate, I felt a strange sense of camaraderie forming between us, a fragile bond forged in the heat of conflict. The witch, once a fierce adversary, now appeared vulnerable, her youthful face reflecting a mixture of hope and desperation. We were all seeking something—answers, closure, and perhaps even a sense of belonging. In that moment, I realized that we were not so different after all; we were all caught in the web of our own struggles, desperately trying to navigate a world that often felt hostile and unforgiving. The witch’s willingness to help us, despite her initial anger, was a testament to her resilience and desire for connection, and it filled me with a renewed sense of purpose.noveldrama
