Eliza
“Now remember Eliza, that after he takes you away from here, you give him one of these fruits, but don't offer it to him right away or he will know that you are tricking him.” The woman held the bag out to the girl.
Eliza's doe shaped eyes twinkled with excitement.
“And this will ensure that he will forever forget Rhea and love me the way I want him to?”
The woman circled her and gave a small laugh
“Yes my dear, he will be whatever kind of man you want him to be.”
“I can't wait to show him the new powers you have bestowed on me!”
Eliza couldn't help but to be excited. A powerful Witch found her and offered her a priceless gift of endless magick and also the devoted love of Tyler.”
“Remember what I told you!” The woman said sternly. “He can't know. I will tell you when the time is right. Now let's go over it again.”
Eliza wanted to please her new mistress.
“Now that I have used the powers you gave me, there will be Bounty Hunters after me, but before they can do anything harmful, Tyler will save me. And he will travel hop with me for a while, so that we can't be followed, but then he will take me to the Oracle, the Oracle!" She clapped her hands together like a small child.
"Eliza, focus." The woman said rather irritated.
"Right. After he leaves me to go and locate her, I am supposed to drink this” She held out a potion. “Which you can track me with. I will give Tyler the fruit, and he will fall asleep, at which time I will light this candle." She held out the black candle.
"And you will come, and put Tyler under a spell, infused with your magick, he will take me to the Oracle, and we will travel, and then you will come to us at a later time, by then Tyler will be so infused with your magick and he will go with me to live in the School where we will teach the future generations of witches, and he will love me the rest of my days and never think twice about this Rhea girl.”
“Yes Eliza, that is very good.”
“But why do you want him to go with the Oracle?” Eliza asked "Won't she see the magick?"
"I will keep you hidden from her."
"But why will we go with her?"
"I want her." The woman said calmly
"Why?" Eliza asked
“Because she took something away from me that was not meant to be taken.” The woman tossed her blonde hair to one side causing it to fall behind her shoulder.
"Now remember Eliza, what will happen if you tell Tyler any of this."
“Yes, I won't forget that I am not to speak a word of this to Tyler, because if he finds out he will leave me forever and I will have to wonder the dessert for the rest of my days in a stupor.” Eliza quickly finished.
“Yes, well can you feel the energy change?”
“No.” Eliza frowned
“Soon you will my dear, soon your magick will be stronger than anything you have seen yet.”
the woman pulled a potion out of her bag
“The Bounty Hunters are here, and Tyler is not far off, stay in your room. He will portal here, and take you away, remember all that we have set into motion, girl, and mind you do not cross me, because I will find you.”
Eliza shook her head in acknowledgment. The woman slammed the bottle down and disappeared. Shortly after Tyler's portal opened in her room just as she was told it would, and he grabbed her and pulled her in.
