Chapter 2 THE ENEMY WITHIN.

After the conversation Rebecca and Christine had; Christine went to her bedroom to pick up her hand bag. After she had picked it, she suddenly heard a sharp rap on the main entrance door. She went ahead too curious to know who was knocking. To her great surprise, it was David together with his acoustic guitar and an attractive pink packaged box.
"Good Morning Ma," David greeted Rebecca.
 "Morning  dear, come in,how are you doing?" Rebecca asked.
"Am fine ma," he replied, stuttered.
"Vanessa never told me you are coming over, I should have prepared something for you," she said
 "Oh thanks Ma, maybe it's might have skipped her mind," he said.
Rebecca called Vanessa, telling her David his around. She quickly applied a little makeup on her face, standing in front of her room mirror, posing. When she came out of her bedroom, she had a call from blessing.
 Hey babe, what's up? She asked
Morning, dear, Sorry for calling you late. I woke up this morning feeling weak," Blessing said.
 Oh, I woke up late and weak also . The activities we did at the meeting caused it. Vanessa said.
At that moment Blessing sounded so confused.
"What meeting?" She asked.
Vanessa went silent for some seconds, thinking of what to say to cover the words she said  earlier up.
"Hello, are you still there?"  Blessing asked.
 "Hey , I am," Vanessa answered.
"You were saying something about meeting; I don't understand," blessing said.
"Oh , I wasn't talking to you," Vanessa said, stuttered.
"I called to tell you we won't be coming over again; we are very sorry. Hope you are not angry?, Blessing asked. 
"Not at all," Vanessa replied.
" I am very sure David will be coming. At least the both of you we have a nice time together; I think he likes you," Blessing said.
Stop this joor, he is already here. Vanessa said.
"Wow so fast. But seriously, he likes you; everyone in school knows. And I know you also feel the same also; it is just that you are a good pretender," Blessing said.
Vanessa laughed, don't worry, I will pretend I don't hear what you just finished saying just now; bye," she said.
After the conversation, Vanessa went straight to the sitting room with a sharp smile on her face so happy to see David. Immediately David saw her, he stood up from the couch, walking towards her. They put their arms around each other hugging. They both went speechless, staring at each other untill Rebecca walked in.
"Vanessa, am already leaving for work, so, you guy should take care of each other," Rebecca said.
"Alright  mum, love you so much," Vanessa said
"love  you too," Rebecca replied.
As soon as Rebecca Left, they both gained the confidence to start talking to each other. Sitting tightly close to each other, holding hands.
"I seriously don't believe this is happening," Vanessa said.
Vanessa readjust herself on the couch looking directly into David's eyeballs, Admiring his look, trying to come more closer to him. Suddenly she saw a pink packaged box.
What is that? She said, Pointing at it.
"Oh, a little gift, David replied.
"Thanks alot, she said, smiling.
"Alright , you look more beautiful," David said, stuttered.
Vanessa moved closer to him, with the intention of kissing him. Suddenly David's phone made a sound." Oh, my mum, she sent me a message," he said.
Yeah, she is monitoring you. She has ability to see all things," Vanessa said.
David laughed, she told me not to come back home late.
They both smiled.
 12am.
Today is the day we have been waiting for; a few of us will be appointed to fight and retrieve our lost Crews, while the rest of us will be defending the coven.
The coven is our priority to protect because that is where sixty percent of our strength and power comes from. You might be wondering if there is any difference between strength and power. Strength is the ability of a body to overcome resistance, while power is the ability of a body to withstand hardship for a shorter period of time. For incantations to stick to us as a witch, it depends on our strength, why the output of the incantation to say depends on the power in us. So as a witch, both must be balanced.
Technology has really improved a lot about us, especially our mode of dressing. We learn martial art (fighting), incantation, past stories, and herbal medicine. Being a witch is something very interesting; I have never regretted for once being one. ( Vanessa opened the next plain sheet of her diary and continue writing). Many people believe witches and sorcerers are wicked and that we have to know the value of the human race. Most people say we make things more complicated. But seriously, not all witches are bad; not all witches make things more complicated. OLODUMARE ( GOD) called us the protectors of the earth.
Being a witch and a sorcerer is not something mostly given to by choice; it is something heritable. Witchcraft can be inherited through transmission from mother to daughter or a close relative or From father to son. And another way of transmission of witchcraft is through initiation based on mutual agreement between the witch and the one who becomes a witch. Although most of us believe that the first generation of witches and wizards in any bloodline are all initiated. But my own mode of transmission is different; I got mine from my lovely dad. I Never got it from any close relative because my dad is the only sorcerer in our family. My dad never inherited it; it is a mutual agreement between him and Christine, his first love. A lot of my colleagues believe that is the main reason why am special, because the mode of transmission is something that can never happen.
Christine taught me most of the incantation and some little healing manipulation I can do now. When it comes to me, she is not always busy at all. She once told me I will be taking over her position as the leader of the band coven when the time comes. Wow, I am seriously looking forward to that. I know it will take a lot of sacrifice and time, but I don't mind. Not all witches and sorcerers are good; there is always an opposite of everything. There are bad witches and wizards out there; they are one of our big problems. Our job as the good ones is to protect ordinary people from them. However, we can't protect everyone from them because we don't know their moves. But whenever they are about to do something that is going to affect us, we strike with full force. 
I know Christine would want to bench me today. She won't even want me to protect the coven, not to talk of appointing me for the rescue mission.  Seriously have been thinking all day about the those who the Water dominant held captive; it is like the Water dominant knew they were on an assignment. And for them to over come them so easily, it means they know our moves, weakness and more information about us. And if what I am thinking is true, it means THERE IS an ENEMY WITHIN. 
Vanessa closed her diary book and spoke out."Who can that be?".
AT THE GATHERING.
2:00am.
Everyone in the meeting looked very happy; they were all dancing and singing.The song sang, and the beat of the drum being played was in the form of warfare. Everyone was opportune to introduce themselves, praising themselves, showing how powerful they are to each other. A lot of activities were done, which involved; drinking human blood and eating human flesh and kidneys. 
All witches, wizards and sorcerers that belongs in the band coven were all present. Even the old ones who are weak physically turn into HAWKS and SNAKES just to be present. There was a violent wind with thunder and lightning in the town, but there was no rain. Christine was sitting in her golden chair together with her two elders sitting close to her. She was overwhelmed by the way some set of witch's were singing her eulogy, telling her how powerful, strong, important she is among them. 
Immediately Christine stood up from her golden chair; there was a sudden silence in the coven. She started moving around them, saying some powerful incantation. As she was chanting, everywhere was shaking, the wind and the lightning increases. She started invoking some dead Witch's spirit in their means for power. After she was done, she walked back to her seat, placing her two arms comfortably on the armrest of her golden chair and her two legs on the stretcher of the chair.
"I appreciate you all for coming; I am so very happy to see you all here. I sense no fear in all of you, and I really love that. It shows that you all are ready for war," Christine spoke at the top of her voice.
Our enemy has stepped on our toes intensionally and we are here to strike them down," Christine said.
She continued; 
 In the last meeting we had, I said the two elders and I are going to appoint a few people to fight and rescue our members who were kept captive by our enemy. So, it is time for us to strike back without asking them why they did.
We all know a popular man among us called The Piller; a great and we'll respected sorcerer in the magical Kingdom. Three days before the attack of the Water dominant on our members, I was told he was missing, kidnapped by those who called themselves the beast keeping coven . I organized a rescue team to save him, but on there way going, they were attack by the Water dominant," Christine said.
Christine appointed Three witch, two wizard and a male sorcerer to fight together with her. A special ritual was done for the appointed one's for self's power increasement and protection. After when the ritual was done, Christine spoke out aggressively," Are you all ready to fight along side with me,".
THE WATER DOMINANT GATHERING.
The lightning increases, the nature of the drum played was in form of a warfare. The coven was without pillars, the song sang was echoing back. The coven was covered with clouds without a solid surface to stand on.
The Witches, wizards and sorcerers at the coven are randomly putting on black,  having the power to stand on cloud without any physical support. All the Witches, wizards and sorcerers in the gathering looks prepared for something big and they are all without fear.
A human sacrifice was done at the alter of the coven. Everyone was moving down to the alter to take a part of the human body use for the sacrifice to eat and a cup of blood to drink. They look more violent and stronger after taking it.
There leader Margaret was sitting in front of the alter with her eyes widely open looking left and right. Twisting her neck as she was listening to the song the withes are all singing.
Her eyes are of fire, surrounded by lightnings.Her voice sounds like thunder, sitting on an unseen chair in between seven powerful elders of witch's. The words coming out from her mouth causes thunder and lightning.
"I appreciate you all for coming; your bravery impresses me a lot. I hope you all are prepared for what is coming, although we are not doing much of the work,"Margaret said.
Margaret continued.
We took something small from them; we stepped on their toes and beat them so hard with our teeth. So they are coming up here to fight us.
They might think they cause the winds and lightning to feel so powerful this time. But seriously, we've fooled them all.
Blessing's friend Juliet looks so confused, she went straight to Margaret, kneeling in front of her.
"What do you mean by we won't do much of the work?"Juliet asked.
Margret laughed.
"Yes, we won't do much. None of us will die today; I promise you all. We know all their moves and how many of them are coming up here. We also know those protecting their coven. We have a very big surprise for them; they have something we need, something very powerful, so for us to get it, we have to play so smartly," Margaret said.
" We've never won them for once, so what is the assurance we are going to get what we need from them this time?" Juliet asked.
"We are going to win this time because we have someone in the inside working for us," Margaret said.
Juliet looked lost immediately after Margaret finished talking; she was so curious to know more."Who? She asked.
Margaret smiled, she stood up from her unseen chair, working towards where Juliet was; she went on her kneel also, just in front of her ,looking straight into her eyes.
There leader is on our side. CHRISTINE," Margaret replied.
