Chapter 10: Look Inside My Mind

Liam and Lisa sat in The Wheeler House but it was empty because Mrs. Wheeler was dead and Mr. Wheeler ran away. The house hadn't had people actually living in it for a  while as shown by the mass accumulation of spiderwebs around the corners of the house.

"What?" Lisa asked after noting Liam's eyes on her.

"I don't trust you," he said.

"I should be the one suspectant of you. How'd you even find out Ariana wasn't fully merged with Pheobe?" Lisa asked, returning the feeling of distrust.

Their conversation was interrupted by Ariana. "We were about to have sex but he ran off when he realized Pheobe wasn't quite around," she said, bewildering the two. She walked over to Liam and began to caress his hair gently, her eyes focused on his. "It's fine though. We still had fun. Didn't we, Liam?" She asked and winked at him causing him to blush uncontrollably as to his annoyance.

"We want Pheobe back," Lisa said.

"She doesn't want to come back," Ariana shrugged.

"How do you know?" Liam spoke up.

Ariana smiled at him. "Believe it or not, I can feel her," she chuckled and turned her attention back to Lisa.

"I thought you said you're fine with me taking over, Elisabeth – that she won't be able to handle it?" Ariana said with a smirk on her face. Lisa was clearly annoyed at her saying her saying her full name and Ariana knew that. "You're cute when you get all mad," she chuckled. Liam couldn't help but just watch as the two girls went at each other's throats.

Lisa took a deep breath of reassurance and got up to give Ariana her hand. Ariana accepted it and got up, still wearing her smirk. "Let's get her back," Lisa said.

"Um, sorry to interrupt, ladies but how?" Liam asked, still seated on the couch.

"We're going to find a seer and he or she is going to send one of you into my mind," Ariana simply said.

"Your psychotic mind?" Liam asked.

"Yes, my psychotic mind that you can't seem to get enough of," Ariana licked her lips and smiled. Liam scoffed.

"Gross. Let's go," Lisa said, quite detested. She walked over to the car quickly, followed by Liam and Ariana.

2 hours later
"Ah. Home sweet home, everybody," Ariana said as she joyously left the car. Liam and Lisa got out as well.

"This place looks like shit" Liam said worryingly. It looked like a sad place. Many of the houses lacked colour, most only painted grey. There were some trees but most of them were for herbs, presumably to make potions. You could however notice no homelessness as the witches actually made sure their people  had what they needed but when they got it, they had to protect it – fight for it or it will be taken from you. At one point, one could notice little kids bullying each other with magic and at another someone robbing an old lady.

"What's up with those kids?" Lisa asked Ariana.

"Around here, it's eat or be eaten. If you can't handle that, you're weak and if you're weak, don't expect to make it home for Christmas," Ariana smirked and chuckled. "I love it here," she smiled and earned corncered looks from both Lisa and Liam.

"Let's just find the seer. We can ask your dad," Liam suggested.

"Dad doesn't need to know a thing," Ariana hissed at him.

"Why not?" he asked.

"He'll think I'm irresponsible for suppressing the weaker side of his daughter," she shrugged.

"Don't call Pheobe weak," he said.

"Isn't she?" She shot back at him.

"My God. Just fucking kiss already," Lisa said in annoyance and led the way to a larger, distinct building as though she already knew where it was.

Ariana shrugged and followed her in along with Liam. There, they found the first room filled with about 7 people in grey robes, meditating each with a white mat. "I don't think we should disturb–" Liam said but got shushed by Ariana who pridefully took a stool to stand in front of them as though she was their leader. She began to clap her hands loudly in order to get their attention. At first they were annoyed but quieted down at the sight of Ariana.

"Hello, everyone. I'm sure you all know me – you know, daughter of William Preivah, your leader and of course," her eyes brighten up to a blue colour and her voice deepens as though her one voice turned to numerous different voices, "the most powerful witch in this coven and we've all seen what happens to those who defy me," her voice went back to normal and her eyes reverted to their brown colour, "I am, however, not here to scare anyone. I need a seer – any one of you."

Liam watched her in fear but Lisa seemed unshaken by her. Ariana waited impatiently for someone to volunteer until one rose their hand – a female blue eyed curly redhead with the fairest skin you could ever imagine and freckles as clear as day. She looked about their age. "I'll do it," she spoke up in a Russian accent.

"Meet me in my room then," Ariana winked at her and smirked. Liam and Lisa followed Ariana into her bedroom. They sat on Ariana's bed, waiting for the seer's arrival.

"What do you want?" A Russian lady spoke up.

"Thank you for finally arriving," Ariana smiled. "I want you to put her in my mind so she can find my worse half."

"Yes, kind of," Lisa said.

"Why can't I get in my girlfriend's head?" Liam protested.

"You're calling me that now?" Ariana asked, almost laughing. Liam rolled his eyes. Ariana walked over to him. "Honey, I feel like she'll be able to navigate it better," her voice grew lower, "plus, she's killed a woman before."

"I can hear you," Lisa said.

"Oh, I know," Ariana hissed.

"Let's get over with – I am very busy woman," the seer hissed at the girls in annoyance. She turned her attention to Ariana with a knife in hand. "Give me your blood. Now."

"Weird but whatever you say hot Russian girl," Ariana smiled. She took the knife and cut her hand, her eyes still focused on the girl. She put pressure on the wound and allowed the blood to flow into a clay cup. She gave the cup to the seer.

The seer put the cup in the centre of a triangle she drew from chalk. "Good. Now sit at opposite ends of triangle and I sit at tip," she ordered once more. The girls did as she said.

"Why is this hot?" Liam mumured to himself and quickly got silence by the redhead. He put his hands up in defense and mimed himself zipping his mouth.

"Count to 10", she told the girls.

"Why?" They asked. Before they could get an answer, she quickly began to chant a spell they could barely put into words. Her head went up as her eyes glowed white. She began to chant the spell louder and faster, worrying the two girls until they all went to deep sleep, Liam watching in amazement.

Ariana's Mind
Lisa found herself awake  in a dark room of emptiness but with two doors at it's end; a red one and a white one.

"Which are you in Pheebs?" Lisa asked herself.

Meanwhile
"Why'd I come in here?" Pheobe questioned herself over and over again as she sat against a corner in a room surounded by memories of all the terrible things Ariana had done after they split as children – one in particular haunting her deeply – replaying over and over again.

"I'm strong," she said to herself. "Just one watch won't hurt." She saw a younger version of Ariana shouting at her mother.

"Why'd you do it!" The little girl shouted, her eyes blue with rage and her arms glowing with blue flames ready to strike her own mother.

"I thought that making that spell would make you more stable – that splitting you would make you more stable but I was wrong. I realise that now. We can talk about it over biscuits and decaf, your favorite," a woman with dark blonde hair said, trying to reasonate with the little girl.

"Mom," Pheobe realized and couldn't help but smile until her smile disappeared when the little girl screamed in frustration. She caused a mass discharge of electric charge that literally fried her to her death.

"Sorry, mom," Pheobe frowned and noticed a glitch in the memory clip. Before she could figure out was wrong, Lisa came.

"Turns out the white door had all the good stuff," Lisa said, chuckling.

"I know. I tried. Turns out me and Ariana aren't complete monsters," Pheobe chuckled.

"She killed your mother, Pheobe," Lisa said.

"Yeah, well so did you, technically," Pheobe shrugged.

"She was going to kill you," Lisa shot back. Pheobe shrugged and turned away from her, removing a small tear from her eyes.

"Liam misses you," Lisa said.

"He can find someone else – maybe even her. I mean, isn't she technically also his girlfriend," she scoffed.

"What are you so scared of?" Lisa asked.

Pheobe shrugged. "Myself?" She shrugged. Before Lisa could say anything, Ariana walked into the room with the most enormous smile on her face.

"Come on. Quit being a pussy. Let's go," she said, looking down on Pheobe. Pheobe simply turned away from her. Ariana noticed where they were from the memory of her killing their mother. "Ah, so you've found my den of sins, huh? Having fun?" she teased only to get ignored by her other-half.

"We were doing fine without you," Lisa hissed.

"No we weren't, Lisa," Pheobe sighed. Ariana stuck her tongue out at Lisa in victory.

Ariana sighed and walked over to Pheobe. She rested her hand on her shoulder in reassurance. "I know we've never really seen eye to eye and the only thing we have in common is our attraction towards your admittedly sexy, but stupid boyfriend whom I hope we break up with, but whether you like it or not, we are the same fucking person and you're going to have to accept it. We'll do this together every step of the way. I promise," she held her hand over to Pheobe and smiled. "Deal?"

"Deal," Pheobe smiled. She got up to quickly hug her deeply. Ariana sighed and smiled. She hesitantly hugged her back. They closed their eyes and all woke up back to the reality.

"Are we done here?" The seer asked.

" Yes. Thank you," Liam said and walked over to Ariana/Pheobe.

"Are you okay? Are you fine now?" Liam asked her with concern.

"I'm fine," she said quickly getting up and leaving the room.

"Where's she off to?" Lisa asked. Liam shrugged his shoulders and ran off to her.

"What's up, Pheobe? Is something wrong?" He asked.

"I said I go by Ariana now. I'm staying here for a while. You guys should leave," Ariana said, keeping the door open for them.

"Um, okay. Take care of yourself, I guess," Lisa said and left unsure of her friend.

"What about us?" Liam asked worryingly as he stepped out of the door.

"I think we need a break, Liam," she said and slammed the door on the confused boy.

a.n: how was this? Too long?
