Ava pointed to the altar, and it began to shake. The gold cup fell over, and Celeste’s blood dripped onto the floor
and stained it.
“No!” Mrs. Windsor cried. “I can’t leave until you help my daughter.” She turned to Celeste. “Please, is there
anything you can do that will protect her?”
The witch was silent for a moment, then she pulled out a string of white beads from around her neck and took it
off of her.
“These are necklaces that have been blessed by thirteen witches-our most powerful and sacred number. They
might help protect your daughter,” Celeste said in a grave tone. “But there is little | can do if your daughter has
secrets that she is trying to bury. Sday, those secrets will cup from the grave to haunt her until the day
she dies.”
Mrs. Windsor shuddered in fear, but she accepted the necklaces.

Ava nodded, going along with the act, and picked up a small, clear vial that had purple liquid inside. “This vial
has been blessed by the sthirteen witches. But it has already been reserved by a more devout believer, Mrs.
Allen. She has agreed to pay ten million dollars for it.”
Madeline took out her purse, and her eyes sparked with determination. “I will give you twenty million dollars for
it. | will pay anything to protect my Chole.”
Celeste pretended to ponder her offer. “Hmm, it is true that Mrs. Allen has already reserved that vial of

writea check for twenty-five million dollars for the necklaces and the potion.”
Once the purchase was made, Celeste warned Madeline that the necklace must be worn at all times and she
must keep the potion with her 24/7 or else Chole’s life will be in danger in less than three days time.
These words made Mrs. Windsor’s face grow whiter than I'd ever seen it. “Could my life be in danger, too? Is
there anything else | can buy that will help keepsafe?”
Ava began to shake her head no, but Celeste stood in front of her and blocked her from sight. “There is,” the
witch said. “We have many more protection jewelry and potions that are available to purchase...for the right
price.”
Twenty minutes later, Mrs. Windsor was loaded up with necklaces, bracelets, rings, and vials of liquid. And
Celeste was a whole lot richer.
“I'll see you again next week,” Celeste promised in a cryptic voice. “Then you can purchase more protection
items because these will lose their magic by then.”
Mrs. Windsor nodded, collected her purchases, and left the room.
After the two women were sure that she was gone, Celeste collapsed in
her chair.
“I hate these eye contacts,” she said and began to remove the contacts that made her eyes nearly black. “They
always make my eyes water.”
Ava was studying the white stone altar. “How did you make this shake on its own, and how did the cup fall?”

Celeste waved her hand. “It’s easy. Both are connected to a machine, and I hit this button under the table.” She
pointed under the wooden table. “It’s a neat trick that gets everyone to purchase a lot more protection items.”
My mouth dropped open in shock, and Alexander's expression mirrored mine.
Of course, Celeste wasn't a real witch. She was a scam artist.
