THE CLASH OF POWERS

MILDRED'S POV

In no time, I was able to battle through the barrier, listening to everything they were saying. Then I was hearing them clearly now as I immediately started battling to break up the spell completely. Half of the spell had broken already, and I just needed one more push. I would be able to break through this spell completely and realize what they were doing.

But I was able to hear them clearly as Marcella said, “They were about to perform the ritual on me.” The old witch started saying something to her. “We have to take all the powers from the remaining power of the twins. First, we have to take all their power before you kill her. I feel like there’s no longer time before performing the ritual on Mildred. Let’s first take all the power. Give me all the power from the twins. I will be able to take everything, and then I'll become more powerful before I perform any other ritual on Mildred herself.”

I heard her say, “No, I would not allow her to do that. I would not allow her to touch my babies,” I said to myself as I was really, really frustrated. I think my frustration made me able to break through the spell completely. As I felt my eyes open a bit, I could see everything they were doing clearly.

But then I had to play smart. I did not open my eyes or get up immediately so that they would not be suspicious of anything. I continued lying there as I thought of ways to save my children. Then I opened my eyes slightly and saw Marcella and the old witch walking over to where my children lay. Unconsciously, they looked so helpless. I was about to cry for them, but I had to keep my emotions in check. I had to save them.

I would not make the same mistake I made with my sister. I would do everything possible. Even if it costs me my life, I would do everything possible to save my children. As I made a silent prayer in my mind, I prayed to the Moon Goddess to help me achieve this and save my babies successfully. Then I connected to their minds and apologized to them for what I was about to do.

I opened my hand slightly as they started performing the ritual. I took the powers instead of Marcella. I could see her face change somehow. She could feel it; that power was not coming to her. The old witch kept on chanting the spells. Then I was taking all the power. I could feel their power coursing through me.

“Yes, I know I had some power. But even if it is a little, that power was really, really strong. What if it were that full power? How would it have been?” I thought as everything was coming into my body. I could feel the strength coursing through my veins, and it was really, really strong because I was feeling weak already.

Then all of a sudden, I shouted, “Stop! Nothing is coming through my body. It does not feel like the first time. There is something really wrong. Someone else is taking the power!”

Then all of a sudden, they both turned back to look at me. “Wait. Something is not right,” I heard Marcella say. “Could she be taking all the power? Could she have broken free from the spell?” she asked the old witch. The old witch just shrugged her shoulders.

I lay there keeping silent, not saying anything so they would not notice anything. “I just think we are not performing this right,” the old witch said as they both turned back to the twins. She started chanting another round of spells as Marcella closed her eyes, waiting for the power to start coursing through her veins also.

But then they did not know I was smarter than them as I kept on taking everything. “Enough!” she shouted at the old witch. “I think Mildred is doing something. Yes, I can feel it. I’m not feeling any power coursing through me. Nothing is happening to me. This is not going right. And I don’t think you are chanting your spells wrongly. You are doing it the right way, just like the first time. Something is really wrong. I think Mildred is already out of the spell. Let’s go close to her,” I heard her say as I started panicking.

But then I had to be strong for the sake of my children. I can’t allow what happened to my sister to happen to them also. I have to fight for them, I thought to myself as I immediately stood up before they got closer to me. Then I launched and unleashed all the power in me. I lunged at her immediately without her even realizing it.

She was really shocked, and she did not even know when I got in front of her. Then I started battling with her. She was also powerful because from the way she looked, she had taken half of the power from my children. And now her power was also double, matching mine also because she took half, and I took half. So our powers matched.

But I needed to know who was stronger. I needed to put in more strength for my babies. Even without their powers, I know I had more power than Marcella. So I believed I could do this. As I put all my full force into it, launching at her without even giving her any breathing space, attacking her back to back, not making her realize what was really going on.

I was counter-attacking every one of her moves against me. Then I wanted her to become weak over time so she would get tired. Even with my children's power, I knew that she could not battle for too long before she got tired. Once she got tired, I would look for a weak point and take advantage of her to win over her that way.

I thought to myself as I kept on battling with her, not giving her a chance to even relax as I kept on throwing blow after blow, pouncing on her. She was also formidable as she was not backing down. “There is nothing you are going to do about this today, Mildred,” I heard her say to me in between the battling.

“You are going to lose your children. Because I'm going to take all the power for myself, and I'm going to take revenge on all of you for what you did. Just watch and see.” She was saying in the midst of the fight. I did not say anything to her as I just kept my mouth shut, not wanting to lose focus on what I was doing.

We were both fighting against each other, attacking each other, counter-attacking every attack we were giving to each other. Then all of a sudden, she pushed me, and I stumbled and fell on the floor. “No, I can't really lose like this. I have to be strong for my children,” I thought to myself as I saw the old witch also stand up beside Marcella, trying to cast a spell to make Marcella stronger.

“Worry, she’s not going to win here today. You are going to take all the power,” I heard the old witch say to Marcella. “We are going to become stronger together. Now let me see how you save your children.” She said to me as I got really angry.

Now I remembered I am not really at my strongest in my human form. “It is time to show them what kind of power I really possess. Even without my children's power, I have an innate power.” Then I said inwardly to my inner wolf, “It’s showtime, baby.”

Then my inner wolf leapt for joy as if she was waiting for me to call on her. She was ready to back me up full force. Then all of a sudden, I changed to my wolf form. I saw the old witch trying to cast a spell to make time stop. But then I had to be faster than her, or else they’d win me in this battle and kill my children.

I could never let that happen as I immediately pounced on her, and before she could even cast any spell, I attacked her. All of a sudden, she fell on the floor, lying there unconscious. Then Marcella immediately rushed to her, shaking her body vigorously.

“Wake up! You can’t leave me right now, please! You can’t do this now. You can’t just fall unconscious. You have to wake up. You have to get up right now. You are the only one who can help me take all the power, and you’re the only one who can help me win this battle. If I don’t win this battle, then both of us are doomed for sure. You have to wake up right now,” she kept on shaking vigorously.

I used this opportunity, as Marcella was distracted, to take over full force as I readied myself. “Are you ready?” I said to my inner wolf, steadying myself as she was distracted. I immediately rushed up to Marcella and pounced on her before she could even do anything. She did not see me coming as she was already distracted, trying to wake up the unconscious old witch.

She did not expect the attack I was about to give her. I kept on fighting and battling with her as she was coming at me full force. I could see that she was becoming weak. But then all of a sudden, I thought that this was the time for me to really take her out as she was becoming weak.

“If I could delay it just a minute more, she might regain all her strength again.” As I was about to take on full force with her, she immediately noticed I was about to do something and she countered my attack. I could not really believe my eyes, and I did not know that she possessed such strong power to counterattack because it was really my trump card.

I thought to myself as she immediately attacked me while I was distracted by how she countered my own attack. Then all of a sudden
, I felt everything go blank as I fell on the floor.
