Notes: barack-rocks asked you:
Hi i have a prompt! Can you please do one where Mercedes is a young witch in training to a evil witch that want to eat Sam's siblings to gain everlasting life? Mercedes helps Sam get them back. :-)
Nose bleed again, Mercedes thought as she cleaned herself up in the mirror. Mercedes began to wonder if she was even cut out for this whole magic thing. Well dark magic thing. When she'd agreed to train, she didn't know that dark magic was what she'd be learning. She didn't know that Lorena was an evil witch, but she was in too deep. Mercedes was too afraid to stand up for herself. That is until she happened upon a man in the woods with golden hair and emerald eyes.
"I don't mean to sound rude, but you're traveling down a hell of a wrong path here," Mercedes told the man.
"Yeah, I might be, but my sister and brother are here....somewhere. The last text message I got from Stevie - my little brother said 'Hansel and Gretta all over again'. I tracked his phone here. Do you know what that means?"
Mercedes hadn't been too sure, but she could take a wild guess. She could bet it had something to do with Lorena. She knew the woman was heartless, but eating children? What kind of person - witch or not - would do that. The man standing in front of her studied her, he raised an eyebrow. "You know something, don't you?" he asked. Mercedes opened her mouth but closed it. She wasn't sure if she could betray Lorena. The witch was someone that she didn't want to go up against. She knew that she'd lose.
"Listen, I suggest you turn back before you get hurt," she offered trying to save herself.
Sam shook his head and Mercedes gave him back the ability to speak. "No. That's my family in there. The only family I have. What am I supposed to do? Leave 'em without a single try? Have you lost your mind, Lady?"
Mercedes raised a finger and silenced him."Have you lost yours? She's going to kill you, if you don't run now? Run, okay?"
Sam shook his head. "NO. Why are you protectin' this children eater? Are you a children eater? Maybe you're a man eater? Maybe that's not even your true form. You're just tryin to calm me with your beauty."
Raising an eyebrow, Mercedes found him amusing. "Someone here watches entirely too much Sci-fi. And calling me a man eater? Yeah that's not the way to get me to help you. I live with this woman. I know how to get in. I know how to stop her." She chewed on her lip. Could she really help this stranger? Did she really want out so much so that she'd betray Lorena, who taught her everything she knew?
Mercedes didn't know if she could trust this man, but he had something riding on this - his family, and she had her freedom. "Look, stay quiet, do what I say and we'll get along great.
He had no choice but to stay silent, she'd silenced him as they made their way around to her cottage. She couldn't afford to get caught before a plan was in action. After planning they decided to strike after midnight. She'd done a locator spell to find out where in the house the children were. They were in the basement. Their next plan of action was to put a spell on Sam so that he could be invisible temporarily. Mercedes would be a diversion and maybe...hopefully the plan would go off without a hitch.
Too bad the kids had been moved from the basement, to the kitchen with the witch. She was attempting to fatten them up. "No moves until I say go, okay?"
She walked into the kitchen, looked at the witch. "What is this? You're harming kids now?" Mercedes asked, catching the woman's attention and trying to lure her away from the kids. Lorena smiled "I am. You should go on about your day, Little Mercy. Don't worry about what I'm doing here, it's none of your concerns." Mercedes gritted her teeth. "No."
Turning, Lorena faced her full on, walking out toward her. Mercedes's head nodded slightly, letting Sam know it was time. The silencer spell was put on the kids as he whispered in their ear, telling them to leave unnoticed. Just as a chair scrapped too hard against the tile, Lorena's attention followed. The small window of opportunity they had was gone. Mercedes had one millifraction of a second to get the upper hand. When Lorena turned, she used her force, the magic she'd learned, tossing a caught off guard Lorena against the wall. "Run!" she screamed out to the three she was trying to save.
Mercedes truly pulled from everything she'd learned, everything she was holding back she brought to the table. She was quick, not letting Lorena get up before she twisted the woman's arm, crippled her legs, sent searing pain through the woman's body so excruciating that she wouldn't be moving for a while but it was too much for the young witch. She couldn't kill Lorena, but she could get away unscathed, and that she did. She ran into the woods, bumping right into something. The boy. She took off his invisibility spell, looking into his green eyes. "The spell would have worn off why are you not long gone?"
"I had to make sure you were okay. And I wanted to thank you for what you did," he told her. "I'm Sam by the way."
The young witch nodded. "Mercedes." She took a moment to catch her breath. "I can't kill her. What I did...it'll only last a few hours. I'm not strong enough for another fight. You better go."
Sam held out a hand to her. "Come with us."
Mercedes glanced over her shoulder once more before taking his hand and putting the cottage and Lorena far behind her.
