A haze of smoke appeared over the palm and quickly reshaped itself into a plant in a pot. "What's that?" Caleb bit out, awestruck. "A gardenia. It'll blossom when she sets her eyes on it. Its lovely scent has been spelled to poison and traps her there. It'll weaken her powers and if she stays longer in its presence it'll mask her from the moon." Caleb nodded, he was very impressed. She dropped it aside and then produced a spell book that was thinly wrapped. "This one will do the rest of the work. She can't resist a good old spell book, especially this one that's an heirloom."

Alice stared at Alicia with fear in her eyes as the pain started to spread through her entire arm. Gia turned to look at Alice and a wide smile spread across her face. She started to recite the spell of the forbidden magic in a louder voice and the pain In Alice's arm became worse. Gia brought out the small bottle that contained Alice's blood and opened it. Gia poured the contents of the bottle on the page of the book and suddenly the book started to glow bright Amber. “It's working!” Gia muttered. Her eyes were filled with anticipation. “sectumsempra legilimens Avada Kedavra!!!!!”.

She jabbed her wand in his direction and he suddenly could not move his hands. "Like I was saying" she continued in a calm tune like she did not just yell a few minutes ago. "These herbs include the mandrake root, mugwort, sage, bay Laurel leaves, and Rosemary. There are many others but we will look into the ones mentioned for a start" she revealed and brought one of the plants forward. "This.. is the mugwort plant" she announced, raising it for everyone to see. I stared at the weird-looking plant before, it did not look one bit like the one in Mrs. Springwood's hands. As a matter, the plant before me had a strange phallic shape that got me wondering if it is natural and not absurd.

I couldn’t believe it. “That’s what it looks like, but there’s something else.” “Great, what is it?” “The base ingredient for the potion is frost berries.” I dropped the papers in my hand. “Coralridge frost berries are responsible for a habit-forming drug?” “The berries can’t officially be tied back to Coralridge because they do grow outside Pack lands, but I’m not a lawyer.” I steepled my fingers and pressed my lips against the tips. “Thanks, Sid. Any more good news?”

The moon spilled across the corridors of the packhouse, brightening the walls and keeping shadows on where the lights couldn't touch. My bare feet padded against the cold floor as I wandered, trying to clear my head. That’s when I saw her. A girl, no older than me, standing at the end of the hallway. Her back was turned, but in her hands she held a flower—dark, strange, with curling petals that seemed almost to bleed into the air. My stomach dropped. I knew that flower. I’d seen it before, hidden in Sarah and Thomas’s cave when I spied on them. I remembered Sarah grinding its petals, whispering incantations, her fingers staining black from its sap. A poisonous bloom. A flower of curses.

Maria hastened the process for us and had the potion ready by the early morning of the third day. She packed the bottle and handed it to me. Unable to contain my curiosity, I took it out for a closer look. It was a bottle of deep blue liquid, exuding an aura of formidable power even to the naked eye. I took a sniff and immediately regretted it; the stench was unbearable, far worse than the smell of decay. A potion like this, I thought, might just be lethal if consumed.

I drank it all in one swift movement. Jason, I wouldn't beg for your love again. I was going to love myself. So… Why are you the one who ended up regretting it? ... I looked at the crystal vial in my hand. The pale, pink liquid shimmered inside, giving off a scent that was both mesmerizing and dangerous. This was the legendary Love Potion, the forbidden magic of our world of Werewolves. Drink it, and the target would have "love" etched deep into their soul for seven years.

I felt helpless then, and even now, as the Luna Mother disappeared down the shadowy hall, leaving me alone with a heavy request and an even heavier conscience. With a sigh, I entered my quaint room again, heading toward the dresser. Inside the worn mahogany dresser were the ingredients needed to concoct the Potion of Charm. As I rummaged through the ingredients - elderberry twigs, bitterroot, petals from wolfbane - panic set in. I had run out of nightshade petals.

Cleopatra read through her fingers scanning through the whole book, she flipped a page, “The antidote! The antidote is what we need” *** “We need three herbs to make this antidote…”, Edgar began, “Fairycelery, a plant sold by merchants, stinklette a herb found near partially submerged flowers, Burrshoe, a plant found commonly growing in discarded armor…” “We are going on an adventure?”, Iris asked wide-eyed. Dylan shot her a look, “Where do we look?” “The book doesn’t not state…”, Edgar picked up a scroll tucked in a shelf, “This map will help you"
