18. Deadly Memories

SKYLA.

Why am I feeling like this?

I stop in my tracks, wanting to tell them about the voice I heard. Of Apophis and what he said, but how do I tell them?

Hesitating, I stop before the witches, and Raihana gives me a small smile.

“We got this.” She says confidently.

“Yeah, I just… before we begin, I want to tell you I heard a voice… and it came from the snake.”

I hear a murmur go through the room and know it sounds bloody unbelievable.

“And what did this snake that only you can see, say?” Sephora asks.

“It said, Daughter of Selene… and I replied, servant of Apophis-”

Sephora cuts me off, making my eyes flash with irritation.

“And how do you know that it was the servant of Apophis? Is this a web of lies that you have spun after we mentioned the visions we’ve seen. If that is the-”

“This is a trial, and every side is allowed to speak in their own defence. Do not pressurise the suspect into not stating vital information, it’s almost as if you have something against her. Do you?” Leo asks coldly.

“And for someone in your position, you should know that this was already shared with the council.” Grandad El says and I look at Magdalene and Janaina.

So they know?

“That is correct. Sephora, please, calm yourself or I will have you step out.” Janaina says warningly.

“Her eyes are the same shade as the unseen monster. What proof is there that they are not one and the same!

Leo cocks a brow. “I understand that this is upsetting for you, considering you are the aunt of one of the deceased.

However, if you can’t behave professionally, then I would suggest the same as High Witch Janaina. And I’m sure the jury would agree. So, step the fuck out if you can’t behave professionally.”

“You are not a prime member of the council. In fact, until now you refused to even join and now that it’s convenient, you simply step in?” She says.

Dad growls as Leo cocks a brow, not phased. I glance at Azura, who’s watching him with damn googly eyes.

I wish Royce was here… Fuck, I’m jealous.

“I’m stepping in as a substitute, please calm yourself, Ms Sephora. You’re only embarrassing yourself.” Leo says calmly, only making Sephora look fucking pathetic.
