Boiling Isles: The Next Generation - Act I.

Chapter XXIX. - The Birth of a Murderer Part VI.: The Decision

Priscilla was sitting outside alone on the terrace and watched from there as Taneisha was sitting on the grass with Ophelia. This time, Priscilla took some precautions and not only locked her scarf in her closet, but also placed her necklace next to the scarf. All this was necessary because the purple haired witch wanted to prevent her mother from having another seizure because of her.

While Priscilla watched with a sad smile on her face as her mother smelled a few flowers , she reflected to herself.

It had been four days since she met Kewok. During this time, Priscilla was thinking so much that it almost caused her physical pain. One minute she was still thinking that she would be unable to harm anyone, and the next she was thinking about how to drain someone's life energy. And she hated herself for it. Because how can you think of taking someone's life?

But like now, when Priscilla catches sight of her mother, who is barely healthy at the moment, the purple haired witch is filled with the desire to bring Darius back at any cost.

Priscilla's hand trembled.

The purple haired witch didn't dare tell her family the whole thing. Because how could she come up with such a thing? What would she say anyway?

Hi Mom! Hear this, I lied to you for weeks, because I wasn't actually hiking, I was looking for the cave where Dad died. And guess what, I found it! And in that place I met an ancient god who offered to bring Dad back if I killed four other witches in return! Isn't it great?!

As soon as she would tell her mother, she would immediately have a seizure, maybe even Ophelia and Anaya would be shocked by this information...

Then there was also the Blight family. Although Priscilla rarely met Alador, it seemed that the brown haired man was loved by her family, especially Amity. That's why she didn't understand how she could come to terms with his death after only two weeks and pretend he didn't exist... She wondered how she would react if she found out that she would have the opportunity to talk to her father again. Although now she is probably more nervous about the condition of her daughter, Lucia, who hasn't woken up from her coma since then...

Priscilla also thought about how her father would act in the opposite case. If, say, there was hope to bring Priscilla or Taneisha back, would Darius also choose a life-energy solution or would he consider it too high of a price for his loved ones?

"What would you do in my place, Dad?" muttered the purple haired witch to herself in despair.

"Did you say something?"

Priscilla lifted her head and looked to the side where she saw Anaya sitting on the rocking chair next to her. She smiled at her from there.

"Nothing." the purple haired witch answered immediately, but after some hesitation she said: "And I've been thinking a lot lately... you know, about Dad..."

Anaya's smile faded.

"Oh, I see."

"I wonder if Dad saw us now, what would he think of us?" Priscilla asked with a sigh. "Would he be disappointed in us for being so dependent on him? I mean, Mom literally got sick from him leaving us here, and I... you know..."

"He wouldn't be disappointed at all!" Anaya answered immediately. "In fact, Darius would be proud of you!"

"Proud?" Priscilla echoed in surprise.

"That's right!" Anaya nodded. "You remained strong throughout the difficult times, you helped your mother and you were able to overcome the whole thing."

Priscilla hummed and then asked the question she had been wanting to ask ever since she met Anaya.

"Do you think Mom will ever recover?"
