New circle of Curses

 
       The night of full moon was going to be a nightmare to Angelique. Barnabas couldn't stop repeating his questions did she sense any different in Victoria.
 He was desperate with his wish Victoria to wake up.
Angelique didn't have a heart to tell him that she was perfectly, completely dead.
  "Is she changing? What she needs to eat?" Barnabas asked, probably for the five million time.
"I don't know Barnabas, I don't know... I'm not werewolf, I can't tell." She sighed.
As the moon raised above the Collinwood manor, Barnabas kept staring at Victoria's body.
They heard wolfs farther away howling.
 Barnabas turned to look at Angelique, "Why she doesn't respond? Why she does not get up and answer others call?"
Angelique placed her hand on his cheek, "Barnabas... She's not answering to them because she was too weak at the begin with."
 Barnabas step back few steps, shaking his head, "No... No, she's not dead."
"Barnabas... She is."
"No!"
Before Angelique was able to do anything, he knelt down next to Victoria, piercing his fangs into her neck.
"No, Barnabas! Stop!"Angelique tried to pull him away from the body. "She's bitten by a werewolf, she's poisoned! Stop it Barnabas!"
 As soon as he pulled back, he placed his hand to his throat, trying to breath.
"What... What?! Angel.. Angelique.. Help me!"
Angelique watched him in shock as he fell to the floor, fighting to breath.
She kneel down and pulled him close, resting his head on her lap and tried to calm him down.
"Shhh... I will not let you die. Bite me Barnabas, bite me."
"You.. no blood.."
"I have."Angelique nodded, making the spell to fill her heart with blood. "Bite me now Barnabas!"
She didn't need to ask twice. He pierced his fangs to her wrist, feeding thirstily.
As Angelique looked around, she saw Josette standing near to Victoria, watching the girl with sad look in her eyes.
 "Get out" She hissed to the ghost.
Josette turned to look at Angelique, "Your jealousy is stronger than your love for him?"
"Never!"
Barnabas let go of her wrist, "Wh-What?"
Angelique kissed his forehead, "Nothing my love. Do you feel better?"
He nodded, breathing deeply as he closed his eyes for while, relaxing in her arms.
 Josette shake her head, "You keep hurting him... " After that, she disappeared as fast as she was appeared.
 Angelique swallowed her anger and focused on Barnabas.
He seemed to recover quickly, and as he got back to his feet, he looked at Angelique, ordering her sharply; "Bring her back to life Angelique. Use your horrifying powers to good purpose for once."
"Barnabas... I can't bring her back. Or I can, but she would not be Victoria you knew. She'd be a zombie."
"A zombie? Are you telling me that those exists as well?"
"Yes, if they're summoned. They doesn't exist without a Witch to command them. Though if the Witch dies, after bringing them to life, they keep on living as living dead, looking for their master."
 Barnabas sighed. "I shouldn't have ask you to turn her back to human... She would be still a Vampire, she would be fine."
"Barnabas, she was bitten by a Werewolf. Vampires dies to Werewolf bites. Though Werewolfs dies to Vampire bites as well."
"And what bite kills the Witch?
Angelique raised eyebrow, "You're planning to kill me now?"
"No. I am curious." Barnabas answered looking at her sharply.
"Witches don't die for bites. You have bite me, Carolyn has bite me, and I don't die. Ghosts however...."
Barnabas narrowed his eyes "Ghosts has power over Witches.."
"No. Witches and Ghosts are like Werewolfs and Vampires. Witches can destroy the soul that still keeps wandering through this world. But Ghosts can also affect on Witches... You see, Witches are spiritual creatures. Ghosts are rulers of spiritual world...."
 "I see... But Witches can harm Vampires and Werewolfs as well as Ghosts. It makes you rather powerful compared to others." Barnabas said.
"I have my weaknesses." Angelique smiled a bit, for while looking as innocent and sweet as she was before. Looking at him lovingly.
 "Hm... You seem to know how to use your weakness as your strength." He said, noticing her loving, gently admiring look. "I like your weakness, Angelique."
 "Sometimes I like it as well." She nodded.
Soon Willie came to the room, gasping his breath "Miss Elizabeth is crazy! Help her! She is insane!"
Barnabas and Angelique shared confused looks and left. On their way to find Elizabeth, they saw Carolyn running out side through the forest with her wild furry form.
 "She doesn't look like creature I would like to pet" Angelique said.
"Yes, better you keep your wicked nails away from her" Barnabas nodded.
Angelique looked hurt, "You think it's my fault Elizabeth is crazy?"
"No. I am simply not in mood for your twisted jokes Angelique, my family is falling apart." He answered, walking faster.
Angelique keep up with him until they noticed Elizabeth walking out of the doorway, through the forest, towards Widow's Hill.
 "I swear, that wasn't my idea." Angelique said.
Barnabas looked at her, "I thought it's your specialty to sent people there..."
"Not anymore. I almost liked her work she did to my folders. I thought she might actually be useful in business."
Barnabas raised eyebrow, "You are changing."
"I promised you."
"Yes you did. I am proud of the step you have taken."
Angelique looked up to his eyes, "It doesn't mean I like her."
"I did not ask you to like them, only live in peace with them."
"That's what I'm working on"
Barnabas smiled, "I am most glad of it."
"Alright daddy, are you done with speech or will we just stand here and watch as she jump?" Angelique asked.
Barnabas blinked and looked at Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth! Elizabeth no! Come back!" He run after her and took hold of her arms.
"Angelique! Come help me!"
Angelique came to them and took good look at the old woman. "She's not crazy. She's asleep."
Barnabas looked at her surprised. "Asleep?"
"Yes..."
"How can she still fight back so much?"
"I don't know..." Angelique said, looking slightly curious of this as well. She snapped her fingers in front of Elizabeth's eyes and the woman opened her eyes, looking around.
"Why I'm here? Angelique? No! I don't want to die! I don't want to fall!.... I must.. I must fall"
Angelique and Barnabas looked at each other.
From Angelique's perfectly surprised expression, Barnabas was sure she didn't have anything to do with Elizabeth's strange will to die.
 "Elizabeth? Elizabeth, you must come home with me now." He said.
"No! I must jump!"
"No, you do not do such thing."
Angelique took hold of Barnabas's arm, whispering, "We have to take her back to Collinwood even by forcing her, otherwise she will find way or other to jump. With or without us."
 "How you know?"
"With that insane desire, she can do it."
"Hm,.. You must be right. " Barnabas nodded and lifted Elizabeth to his shoulder. "We go home."
"No! I know you two are planning to kill me! Let me choose my way to die. I want to jump! Barnabas let go!" Elizabeth screamed.
Angelique sighed, "Let me put her to sleep."
Barnabas looked at her. "Just to sleep?"
"Yes, so she'd shut her mouth."
"Very well." Barnabas nodded.
Angelique hold her hand to cover Elizabeth's eyes and whispered the spell, making Elizabeth fall into deep sleep.
 Barnabas looked over his shoulder, "She is in peace."
"For while. That spell doesn't last long. Just so we get her to Collinwood."
    "Mother?!"
"Carolyn, stay where you are." Barnabas ordered.
Carolyn looked shocked, and saw Angelique then. "What have you done to my mother?!"
"Nothing!"
Barnabas looked at Carolyn sharply, "Be quiet Carolyn, we will explain everything to you later. Now step aside so we get your mother safely back home."
"Right, you defend that bitch who cursed us all! You're such a freak!"
"Hold your tongue young lady!" Barnabas growled.
"In your dreams." Carolyn hissed.
Barnabas shook his head and kept going.
"Hey Angie! If my mother is cursed now, I make sure you suffer." Carolyn yelled after them.
 Angelique sighed, "I will never be in peace with that dog"
"Do not call her dog, she is upset. I shall talk to her later. She have to learn to hold her tongue as you need to learn control your jealousy and evil thoughts. You are proving it is possible, so it is possible that Carolyn will learn to act as polite people should."
 They settle Elizabeth down and go see Victoria.
Angelique stepped into the room first and froze. Barnabas nearly walked on her and looked at her curiously before looked into the room. "Where is she?"
"I don't know.."
Barnabas smiled, "She woke up!"
Angelique looked at Barnabas and then the empty table where Victoria was supposed to be.
"Did she?..." She thought aloud and looked around, she had feeling that someone else than herself was playing around with Collins family now.
