Charlie Gyid by Anysia Eaton (i love reading books txt) 📕

sunk into the ground, like it had never spurted out in the first place. I lifted Geska up and carried on with my walk through the mountains.
Once past the big bunch of squashed in mountains I looked back the way I came. I had seen three mountains between the Swiss Covert and the big bunch of mountains. I counted three mountains as I walked along. It took me three hours to pass all three mountains to reveal an extra large mountain.
This was it. I was sure of it. I started to walk towards it when I spotted a small rectangular stone. I couldn’t say why that particular stone caught my interest, it just did. I walked to it, slowly. I looked closely at it. I balanced Geska on my left arm and right leg, while I knocked on the stone. I flipped Geska back into both of my arms.
A small part of the rock vanished to reveal a face poking through it. A face with emerald green eyes – the Swiss eyes.
“Can I help you?” he asked.
“I wish to enter” I replied.
“Name..?” he asked.
“Charlie Gyid, Wiccan of the Swiss Covert.” I replied.
“And her...?” asked the man staring down at Geska.
“Geska, a wiccan, but I don’t know where from” I replied being completely honest.
“You both may enter” he said. The whole rock vanished revealing a tunnel. I entered being careful not to knock Geska on the rock wall. I only had to walk a bit further until I reached another door with guards.
“Name..?” they asked together.
“Charlie Gyid, Wiccan of the Swiss Covert.” I replied.
“And her...?” asked the man staring down at Geska.
“Geska, a wiccan, but I don’t know where from” I replied.
“You both may enter” they chanted together.
The door opened revealing the welcoming corridors of the Swiss Covert. Before I stepped though I asked the guards “Which way – from here – is Room 4?”
“Straight down the corridor, eighth right and then seventh left miss Gyid” replied one of the guards.
“Thank you” I said stepping in.
Geska was still completely out of it. She lay dead-like but still breathing, like she had been paralysed. Of course. Alecta Momenta was the paralysing spell. I took the eighth right but didn’t have to move much further until I saw someone I knew. Billy came out of the fourth left. When he saw me a large smile came up on his face. He rushed to me and wrapped his arms around me trying to avoid squishing Geska.
“Are you ok?” he asked “Your kidnapping has spread through the whole Covert. Everybody is so worried for you. Mr Ballon hasn’t left your room since Brad, Gabby and Alison returned”
I had forgotten completely about Brad, Gabby and Alison. I had presumed they got away ok. It only struck me then that something could have happened to them.
“There alright aren’t they?” I asked.
“Yeh.” He replied a smile still on his face.
“Where are they all now?” I asked adjusting Geska’s position.
“I think they are all trying to cheer up Mr Ballon in your room” he replied.
“Thank you” I said as I squeezed past him.
I headed down the seventh corridor on to my corridor.
Room 4.
I moved Geska again so she was lay on one arm and one leg as I placed my right hand on the door and said “Malestra Voltra”
The wall around my hand melted away to reveal the all too familiar door. I turned the handle and pushed the door open slightly. I picked Geska back up in two arms and pushed the door open with my foot.
Everybody was shocked when they saw me at the door. Even though Jeff was the furthest away from me he was the first one to reach me, he moved so fast. He pulled me into a hug not caring about Geska.
“Jeff, I need to sort Geska out” I said pulling away. “You can hug and yell afterwards”
He pulled back and nodded. I walked to my bed and lay Geska onto it.
“What happened to her?” asked Mistress Halsente.
“The Paralysing spell” I replied.
“Here, I’ll do it child” said Mistress Halsente moving to my side. Brad rushed to my side and took me in his arms. I couldn’t help but smile when I saw him. He grabbed the sides of my face and kissed me. He kissed me like he hadn’t seen me in a whole lifetime.
I broke it off when Mistress Halsente said “Momenta revecta”
Geska spurred to life, she shot up, a worried look in her eyes. She looked about until her eyes locked with mine. I gave her a little smile. Her worried expression softened into a small and sweet smile. I untangled myself with Brad’s arms and walked to her side. I sat next to her and asked, “Are you ok?”
“Yes” She replied in a new sweet little voice. She swung her arms around me in a tight hug “Thank you Charlie”
“You are more than welcome. I couldn’t have gotten out without you” I Replied.
“Who are you?” asked Gabby.
“Geska, Wiccan of the fifth dynasty.” She replied.
Everybody but Alison and I gasped.
“Are you really, child?” asked Mistress Halsente coming to my side.
“Yes ma’am” Geska replied.
“What’s the fifth dynasty?” I asked. My head was spinning. There was more than I didn’t know already.
“There was a selection of Wiccans and Warlocks that broke off from the ordinary Coverts. They called themselves the dynasties. It was to be one big group but they could never decide where to call home so they broke into five different dynasties. My parents were both in the fifth so I am from the fifth Dynasty” explained Geska.
“How did you two come across each other?” asked Jeff.
“In Malietta’s layer” I replied.
Geska hung her head in shame.
“I was fool. I was only two when I met Malietta. She destroyed the whole of my dynasty, leaving me to die. I didn’t want to be the only one not to so I went after her hoping she would kill me too, but she was impressed and gave me an offer. She said she could bring them all back. But she would need me to aid her...” Geska started but Brad interrupted “You work for Malietta.”
He grabbed my arm and pulled me back away from her in a protective fashion. I pulled my arm out of his grip and hissed at him “She doesn’t anymore. I wouldn’t even be here if it wasn’t for her”
“I’m sorry” he said hanging his head.
Guilt ran through me. I placed my hand on his cheek and said softly “It’s alright. You just want me to be safe”
His eyes shot to mine. I softly touched his lips with mine. When I pulled back he gave me his dashing smile that always made me blush.
I turned back to Geska. I sat next to her and said “Carry on Geska”
“She made me do the blood connection with her, so then when I finally realised what I had done, I couldn’t escape it. I had to do what she said. She put a spell on me that stops me from ageing and growing in power. So I’ve been three years old for longer than twenty years. It wasn’t until Charlie came that I was even offered a way to get away. And Charlie saved me.” Finished Geska.
“But the only way to override a blood connection is by another blood connection” gasped Sir Mallot. All eyes fell on me. I starred sat each one in turn as I said “I couldn’t just leave her there”
“So you two now have a blood connection?” asked Brad sitting down next to me and taking my hand.
After a few minutes of silence it was Jeff to break it.
“Can I have my hug now?” asked Jeff.
I literally ran to him and hugged him. He squeezed me tight.
“You got me so worried” said Jeff “Please, never do that to me again. I thought I’d lost you.”
I couldn’t talk. My head was buried in his chest as he squeezed me tight.
“You’ll never lose me dad” I whispered to him as he started to relax.
“Did you just call me dad?” he whispered back in a confused tone.
“I have all my life, and I’m not stopping now” I replied. He smiled and squeezed me tight again.
“Charlie, the potion. We should have got rid of the potion she hadn’t drunk yet. She needed to drink all of that bottle for it to work.” Panicked Geska, realisation hitting her.
“What potion?” asked Mistress Halsente.
“The potion of Elisha” replied Geska “A forbidden potion. When she finishes the bottle she will be able to enter the Swiss Covert”
Literally everybody gasped.
“Hazel, go and warn security. Jeff, go and test the warning bell. We will need to know that the students know what to do. Give us twenty minutes, though.” Ordered Sir Mallot.
“Of course” echoed both of them together as they headed out.
“Geska, what happens when the other side of the mirror is smashed?” I asked Geska.
“Then the mirror is useless” she replied “Why?”
“As soon as we crossed through I smashed the mirror” I replied.
A smile came up on Geska’s face.
“Then she will have to repair it, that could take months” cheered Geska.
“Brad, go and tell Jeff to return, we do not want to stir panic months in advance” ordered Sir Mallot.
Brad headed out but not before giving me a kiss on the cheek.
“Sir..?” I had to ask as he slumped on the chair.
“I’m too old for this sort of excitement” he laughed.
“Will you be ok sir?” asked Gabby.
“Of course” replied Sir Mallot.
I went and sat next to Geska.
“Can I go back in my old room but with two beds? One for me and one for Geska” I asked him.
“Of course. I’ll sort out your room once Jeff is here” replied Sir
It was then I felt Geska’s head drop onto my shoulder. I looked down and her eyes were shut. She was asleep. I lifted her up in both arms.
“Ali, get the bed covers” I said as Alison flipped the bed covers off my bottom bunk. I lay Geska in and wrapped her in the cover.
“She’ll wake in a few hours” mentioned Sir Mallot.
I stayed sat next to her even when Jeff and Brad returned.
“I thought you said...” started Jeff but Sir Mallot interrupted “Malietta has a few month repairing a mirror before she can enter this Covert, we don’t want to stir panic months in advance”
Jeff – as we could tell – wanted to argue but Sir Mallot was Warlock royalty so he kept his mouth shut. He walked to me and sat next to me. He took my hand.
“Your very brave to do a spell like that” he said.
“I agree, especially with the fact you got no advantage out of the spell yourself” agreed Sir Mallot.
“But I did, I never would have found my way out of that place without Geska. I owe my life to her right now.” I replied watching Geska sleep.
And within a few hours both me and Geska entered room 31. I looked about and gave out a sigh. It looked almost exactly the same except now there was two double beds instead of just the one.
“You didn’t have to move for me, Charlie” commented Geska.
“I know, but from now on you are my blood sister, so get used to it” I replied.
“You have lots of books, Charlie” commented Geska looking at a collection of book that were piled in the corner.
“There not mine. They
