Chapter 141
The witch didn’t say a word as she slowly stood from her chair. Celeste went to her altar, and as she made eye
contact with Mrs. Windsor, she picked up the dagger and slowly cut the palm of her hand. Then, she allowed her
blood to drip into the gold cup. As soon as the blood hit the cup, the witch collapsed to the ground and began to
convulse.
Mrs. Windsor gasped and stood from her chair.
“Stay seated, or else you'll mess with the ceremony!” Ava yelled.
For a full two minutes, Celeste convulsed on the floor. When she got to her feet, her cheeks were flushed, and
her breathing ragged. She began to chant in a language | didn’t recognize. It sounded like Latin. She pointed at
Mrs. Windsor and her eyes rolled back into her head. Celeste threw a circle of salt around her to end the ritual.
When the ceremony was finished, the witch pointed an accusing finger at Mrs. Windsor.
“You lied to us!” she burst out, and rage filled her voice. “You're hiding something! The magic won't work if you
are dishonest!” Her voice grew until it seemed to shake the small room. “Something has happened to your
daughter, and you have hidden it from us!”
Chole’s mother’s face paled, and she glanced around the room as if looking for an exit.
Celeste stalked toward Mrs. Windsor with rage burning in her black eyes. “If there's one thing that witches hate
above all, it is people who lie!”

Madeline put her hands together and begged. “Please, will you just save my daughter? | can pay you anything.
Money isn’t an object. | just need your help.”
Celeste only glared at Mrs. Windsor and slowly shook her head.
Madeline cried out in agony and collapsed to the ground just like the witch had a few moments before. Mrs.
Windsor crawled to the witches’ feet and grasped onto her robes.
“Please, | beg you!” she yelled. “My daughter needs your help:”
Ava stood from the table. “There's nothing that Celeste can do if you don’t tell us the truth,” she said in a
commanding voice. “Magic doesn’t care about money. The ritual won't work if you're not honest.”
Madeline's face grew even more white with fear, but her body collapsed with defeat. “Alright, Ill tell you
everything,” she relented.
Once the three women were sitting at the table again, Mrs. Windsor let out a loud sigh. “When Chole was in high
school, there was an... accident. A friend of hers tragically passed away very young. A few people thought that
Chole was involved somehow, but that’s not true!” she cried vehemently. “It was all just a big misunderstanding.
My Chole was and is-innocent in that unfortunate incident.”
The room was silent for a full minute.
