When they got to the back of the cave, Jamal was asked to check if anyone was close by. He left and after a while, he came back to tell them the coast was clear. Jasmine made a circle on the floor and Ariana furrowed her brows. "What's that for?" She asked. She wanted to know why Jasmine had done that. She could remember that Stella never drew a circle before saying the spell. She only made them stayed far-off and then began the spell.
Jasmine shrugged. "I don't know. My instinct thinks it's right. And my instinct never lie"
Ariana rolled her eyes. Her instinct?. Jasmine's instinct isn't what they need right now. They needed fact, not instinct. But right now, she knew they have no facts and the only thing available for them is instinct. She sighed. If Jasmine thinks her instinct is right. They will have to give it a shot. "Ok, let's gets to work"
Jasmine pointed to the right. "Ariana, you stay there". She pointed to the left. "Jabal, you stand here. I will be in this place". "Jamal you hold my hand but be on the watch. Notify me when there is danger". Jamal nodded and held Jasmine's hand. "Ariana, you know the location of the place right?". Ariana nodded. "You will think about the place while I say the spell. You can join me when you are sure you can say the spell"
"Sure"
"Jabal. You don't have to say the spell. Just power me up with your power"
Jabal nodded. "Ok"
When Jasmine was sure every one of them understood what she said, she closed her eyes. "Is everyone ready?"
"Yes" they chorused in unison
Jasmine sighed. "El kish aris mal ria lis". Jasmine began the spell slowly, while Jabal supported her with his power. Her hair raised to its full length. She opened her eyes which have already changed from their blue color to red. Her voice grew louder. "El kish aris mal ria lis!!"
Ariana joined her and they said the spell together. A little whirlwind showed up. They kept saying the spell until the whirlwind grew bigger and finally took them away. They landed close to a river. Jasmine looked around. "Is this the place?"
Ariana smiled. Yes"
"Yes!!" They yelled happily. They had succeeded with a spell.
Ariana hugged Jasmine. "You did it!!"
Jasmine smiled. "No, we did it"
Jabal batted his sister. "Good job, sis"
"Thanks for trusting me" Jasmine answered hugging her brother. She was happy they were getting along with each other. Jamal yawned and they laughed. "We should go. The place is getting dark. We won't want to lose our way"
Ariana nodded. "I will lead the way"
**
They could see the house a few meters away from them. Their eyes beamed with happiness. They were so tired but had to keep moving. They were happy they would finally be having a rest after a long day. They got to the house and Jamal frowned. "It's an abandoned house?".
Jasmine sighed. "It's better than sleeping without a roof over our head"
Jamal groaned as Ariana made to open the door. "It smells cold"
Jasmine rolled her eyes. "That's because it's been abandoned for a while"
"I don't want to stay here" Jamal whined.
Jasmine groaned. This isn't the time to be a cry baby, Jamal. We need to go in. It's getting cold"
Jabal patted his brother's shoulder. He needed to give his brother all the courage he could. "Don't worry, Jamal. We got you"
Jamal nodded. "Ok, we should go in but there isn't any light for us to see"
Ariana smiled. "Don't worry. I got that covered". She made light for them to see when they get in. She placed her hand on the door handle. "Door open. It's Ariana of the red-haired witches coven". They furrowed her brows and she chuckled. "Have to say all those words to open the door". The door opened and they batted their lashes in surprise. "Let's go in"
They entered and the door closed. Ariana placed the light on the light stand. She flicked her finger. "Bulb light on, other light off". The light they brought in offed and the bulbs light on. Jamal batted his lashes. "T-the house looks much better than the outside"
Ariana chuckled. "You can't judge a book by its cover". Jamal nodded. Ariana was right. You can't judge a book by its cover just like she judged the house by what the outside looks light. Jasmine jumped on the couch and got settled down. She smiled. "This couch is nice and soft"
Jabal who had sat on the couch opposite Jasmine's nodded in agreement. "It's so soft I felt like sleeping on it"
Jasmine rolled her eyes. Sleeping isn't what she wants now. She needs a nice long hot bath and a delicious plate of food. "I want to sleep". She stood up. "Ariana can you show us to our rooms. I need a nice long hot shower"
Ariana nodded. "Sure". she flicked her fingers. "Bedrooms".Jasmine furrowed her brows. What is Ariana doing?. Isn't she suppose to show them to their room?. Why did she flick her fingers and say bathroom?. They heard sound and two doors suddenly appeared. Jasmine batted her lashes. Did two doors just appeared?. Ariana pointed at the door by the left. "Jabal and Jamal, that's your bedroom. Jasmine and I will be in the other room"
Jamal raised his hand. "I don't understand what's going on there. You asked the door to open and it did. You said the light should be on and all the bulbs were on. Now you said bedroom and two doors appeared. What's going on?. I'm sure when you ask one of the couches to walk, it will obey"
Jasmine batted her lashes. "Look!!" She yelled. Everyone looked in the direction she pointed at.
Jamal held his chest. "O-oh!!. The couch is walking!!!"
Ariana laughed. "Chill. It's nothing"
Jamal frowned. "You call it nothing?"
Ariana chuckled. "Let me explain to you. Everything in this house obeys your word only if you believe it. When I said the door should open, it did because I believe"
Jasmine furrowed her brows. "What do you mean?"
Ariana sighed. "This house is an illustration of my imagination. It's a mirage. It isn't real. It appeared because I believe it and you believe too. That's the reason you were able to enter too. Those outside the house will never know this house exists because they know nothing about it and does not believe it exists"
Jasmine muttered an oh. "That's the reason you said it's the perfect place to be"
Jabal smiled. "Wow, t-that's awesome"
Jamal chuckled. "I love this place". He stopped chuckling. "But why is the outside looking so old and abandoned?"
Ariana smiled. "I made you believe it was an abandoned house and you believed"
Jasmine nodded. "Now I get why you said nothing when Jamal was complaining about the house"
Jabal narrowed his eyes. "You change the inner part when Jamal complained, right?". Ariana nodded. "But why were you able to change it when the rest of us did not believe it?"
"I have the creator of the mirage. I have greater access to the house than you have"
Jasmine rolled her eyes. "Why do you have to say your name before the door opened"
"Only a red-haired witch can do it. So..."
"So you have to say your name and where you belong?". Ariana nodded
Jamal groaned. "I am so hungry right now!!"
Jasmine rolled her eyes. "You can order. I am off to take a nice shower"
"Me, two" Jabal said
"And me, three" Ariana added
Jamal groaned. "You won't leave me here alone"
"You don't have to stay here. You can order the food. It takes less than the normal time it takes to prepare it"
Jasmine chuckled. "Thanks". Ariana nodded. "Mashed potatoes and chicken soup in my room"
The rest laughed. "See you tomorrow morning," Jasmine said and walked to the door to their bedroom.
Ariana followed Jasmine. She stopped walking. "I will be hiding the house for security reasons"
Jamal nodded. "For as long as I have food to eat"
"You can get in touch with us if you want to," Ariana said. They say goodnight to each other and retired into their rooms.
Jasmine jumped on the bed immediately after she entered the room. "Nice bed"
Ariana chuckled and sat down. "Nice imagination"
Jasmine smiled and stood up. "I need to take a shower. Please make sure food is ready before I come outside. I want Basmati rice and chicken soup. With a bottle of champagne. Gosh. I need good food"
Ariana rolled her eyes and flicked her fingers. "Macaroni and cheese with a freshly prepared pineapple juice"
Jasmine frowned. "Why did you order for yours alone?"
Ariana chuckled. "Because you already ordered"
"I did not"
"You did. You said you need. That makes it an order"
Jasmine chuckled. "Wow. i don't think I will get used to this place soon enough"
Ariana stood up. "Towel, please. Warmed water prepared in a jacuzzi". The bed disappeared and a jacuzzi appeared. Jasmine blinked.
"There is no bathroom?. You won't go to the bathroom.?"
Ariana smiled. "I told you it's an illusion. You can get whatever you want without moving an inch"
Jasmine chuckled. "If that is the case, hot water bath in the latest jacuzzi"
