Penny''s footsteps halted seeing the ck witch appear. She appeared to be around her age, not engaging with useless talk the ck witch said,


    "Hand over the package and the man, vampire," she looked at Elliot who had both the man as well as the element which was required to create the poison against the vampiress to corrupt the core. To the ck witches, it was nothing less to gold. An element that could start destruction and armageddon which would first strike a town, then thend before it would infect like the gue to the othernds.


    Elliot stared back at the ck witch, his features looking calm and poised without looking ruffled as if he had encountered plenty ck witches, "I wouldn''t mind handing you the package but why do you need the man for?" he inquired, engaging the ck witch in his conversation. He gave her a pleasant smile but the ck witches didn''t care for it. She was under orders by her other ck witch sisters where she had toplete the task of bringing the man as well as bringing the package.


    The boy! Penny remembered, they had the boy, "Where is his son?" Penny asked the witch who nced at her with an annoyed expression. She received no response, the ck witchpletely ignoring her and instead choosing to answer Elliot''s question.


    "He has much good intelpared to the other empty-headed magistrates," the ck witch answered. She took something from the pocket of her dress, something that appeared to look like ck dust or was it ash? Penny couldn''t tell until she brought her hand forward, blowing the dust and suddenly there was a fire where both Elliot and Penny had to move away from the fire which the ck witch had created.


    She was clearly using her elemental abilities. Penny frowned, she had thought it was only the white witches who could use elements.


    How was she doing it though? Asked Penny moving away from them. It looked like the ck witch who was interested only in attacking Elliot which gave her enough time to catch her breath as they had been running from the time they had left the town.


    She tried to figure out how the ck witch was able to make use of the ability. Was she perhaps a former white witch who could use the fire element? She saw the ck witch pull out the dust from her pocket, blowing air to it where the dust caught fire before causing an explosion.


    Quickly another ck witch entered the scene finding Penny with the book.


    "Alina, get her. I will deal with this one," said the older ck witch.


    The young ck witch switched position, onmand she suddenly came at Penny to attack her without wasting her breath.


    She wondered how things worked with fire against fire. Taking the little bottle in her hand from her pocket, she stood there as her footsteps went back one after another. The ck witch looked like she was some sort of small pest she could flick with her finger before squas.h.i.+ng her clean.


    When Penny had left the Delcrov mansion in the morning, she hade out prepared with her friendly use knives that she carried with her. She had to do something about her clothes, thought Penny to herself. Of course, when it came to hers and the ck witch who approached her, they had simr long dresses but Penny was still new.


    Just as the ck witch pulled out the heap of dust from both her pockets, Penny didn''t wait for her to breathe fire into it. She threw one bottle after another right at the ck witch who caught it.


    Well, that didn''t go as nned, thought Penny to herself.


    "So stupid," the ck witchmented taking a look at one of the bottles in her hand, "Is this your invention? Doesn''t even crack in a collision," unfortunately the ck witch didn''t know what it was and pressured the .s.ses that poured the liquid down her sleeves.


    She blew the powder on Penelope who jumped away from the spot and suddenly there was another collision but it wasn''t just the dust the ck witch had blown in her direction but also her sleeves that caught fire, sparking another collision, one after another where the ck witch had to throw the coat she wore away which had the ash-like powder in them.


    The ck witch looked irritated that she couldn''t use the powder as every time she blew the powder her own self caught fire and went to an instant explosion. As she was a fire element, it didn''t do much damage as the white witch only had to dust the fire off her body.


    This was going to be difficult, thought Penny to herself. If she were a water element like they had thought, there wouldn''t have been anything to worry but right now she had nothing but needles for an effective attack. But then Penny thought she at least had something. As it was already tested, all she had to do was pus.h.i.+ng it into the ck witch but with the fire around, she didn''t know how she would do it.


    Yet, Penny couldn''t stop the smile that appeared on her face, "How incapable of not be able to decipher that you will catch fire yourself every time you try to use it on me," the ck witch red at her. She pulled out a sharp butcher knife that was big and sharp, its ends s.h.i.+ning as if she had only got it chiseled this morning.


    Penny at first took out the coat from her body. Throwing it on the grounds where she stood. Her dress has pockets where she had ced the needles. She stretched her arms first, left hand and then the right to receive a more annoyed look from the ck witch who didn''t bother to wait for Penny to finish her exercise when she came to attack straight at Penny.
