"Evil magic?" Selene creased her brows throwing away the pendant and it before it touched the ground the box it was originally in appeared and the pendant was nicely placed inside it revealing itself to Selene as it hovered in front of her to take.
The air around it felt wrong in a way she couldn't name, like something watching from behind glass. The red of the pendant wasn't just color anymore, it pulsed faintly, as if remembering it had once been something else.
The now blood red pendant scared Selene. Fang grabbed her shoulder as reassurance.
His grip tightened just slightly, steadying her without forcing her still. He didn't speak at first, as if words might make it worse, like naming fear gave it shape.
Rosalia tried to touch the box only have the box shut with magic crackling around that the witches could see. The other witches visibly ready now to cast spells. Rosalia sighs, "the pendant carries the magic of dead that I cannot take away. It has chosen you."
