I head downstairs and see my mom making breakfast. The kitchen smells of bacon, eggs and toast. I walk over to my mom and place a kiss on her cheek. She offers me a warm smile and engulfs me in an embrace. "Good morning honey.." She says "Did you sleep okay?" "The night was terrible and I'm still very tired but oh well.." I tell her with a shrug and a light grin. "You look different today. And your hair, how did you manage to get your hair like that."She asks knowing that I've never been good at styling my hair and I spin around showing off my new outfit and hair. "Magic mom, magic." I simply answer. "Magic?" She asks with a raise of her brow. "Yep." I say nodding my head like a toddler. "Since when do you use your powers for anything other than the assignments the academy gives you?" She implores curiously. "Since I discovered how beautiful being a witch is, since I discovered what I've been missing out
Holidays are over and we're starting once more with our normal human curriculum, having witch lessons now only during the weekends.It's going to be even more stressful because not only do I have to get good grades at geometry, I also have to worry about the sacred geometry we study for the witchy curriculum. Double work. I sigh in bed as I stare at the ceiling. During the rest of the holiday Kali and my mom helped me a whole lot, training me to keep my dark magic concealed and not let it take over me. I almost lost control one time when we were practicing a fire enhancing spell. My mom, as usual got paranoid and proposed we try and keep the black magic locked away in another box. But we all know how that went down last time. As much as I'm in control now, I still feel this great desire to keep the magic with me, to protect it from anyone who would want to take it away. She was able to do a cloaking spell on me though. She said it's r
The teacher is explaining something about Lewis structures when I feel someone poke my arm. What does he want now? I decide to ignore him not wanting the teacher to catch us both and give us detention. "Pssstt, Layla.." He says as he keeps poking my arm. I snap my head around and give him a pissed look. "Can you be quiet?" He sticks out his lower lip and pouts at me giving me puppy dog eyes. What is is problem? I stare at him and spin my head back around. He stops bugging me for a few seconds when I feel a piece of paper appear in my hands. We're not supposed to use magic during our human courses. Is he crazy?? I smoothen open the crumpled piece of paper curious to see what's it in. "You're beautiful and you're distracting me Layla.." I smile at the note and hide it carefully so the teacher doesn't see me being distracted. The door opens up and the principal walks in with a boy I've never seen
~~Eren's POV~~I have to go to a new school now because of what happened. Mom and dad think it should be a witch academy so we move to the closest city with one. They want us to stay under the radar for a while. The principal leads me into classroom with a few students in it. "Everyone, this is Eren Crow. He just moved here from a different city with his parents after a tragedy befell their coven. Him and his family are the only surviving members and they moved here. He's a new student at the academy now and him and his family will be assigned to one of our covens soon enough. Please everyone, make him feel at home.." He introduces me and exits the classroom. I walk over to the first empty seat I find and make myself comfortable. As soon as I take a seat, I feel her and I snap my head in hear direction. Black magic. I see her staring at me already and I quickly look away. What is a girl with black magic d
"Did you hear about the new student that transferred to our school mom?" Mom and I are having dinner and she made my favorite. I love this woman. "Oh yes I did, Eren Crow right? What an awful thing that happened to their coven. The poor thing.." My mom says with a sad shake of her head. "You don't think something is not adding up? Witch hunters haven't been heard of in a while, and they never leave survivors. They're not careless like that, so why are they alive?" I ask my mom while playing with my food. "Maybe they just got lucky.. Witch hunters haven't been heard for a while, yes, but there are still a few lurking around.." "But still, we should investigate them. Make sure we can trust them first.. " I defend "Layla, they just lost their coven. They're devastated right now. Plus if something was off, I would have felt it by now." My mom adds."Would you have? When I was close to him, I couldn't literally fee
"I think I'm going to dye my hair white..." I say to Kali as I take my physics text book out of my locker. Physics is the first class we have today with Professor Philips. He's scary and I hate physics, makes me think too much. I always thought it was cool how his name rhymed with Physics though."Not that I wouldn't like it, I think you'll rock white hair. But any particular reason?" He asks while playing with a strand of my hair. "Not really.. I just thought of it now and I can't stop thinking about how hot I'll look with white hair. I'm going to cut it short too, shoulder length..." "Pretty ironic if you ask me.." Kali says with a smirk. "A witch with black magic having white hair. Kinda ruins the whole aesthetic don't you think.." He chuckles playfully. "Shut up.." I say nudging his arm playfully. "And don't say that out loud. Someone might hear you!" "Someone might hear what?" A voice says from behind me and I turn
"Try again." My mom motivates me as I try to make the water in my half-filled glass grow. "It's not working mom." I say to her with a defeated sigh. "You just have to keep trying. Focus and steady your breathing. Feel the water, be the water, clear your mind, decide you want it to grow and it will obey you." She explains. I try to clear all roaming thoughts and instead fill my mind with thoughts of water, I think of ocean waves, and tsunamis, and pouring rain, I steady my breathing and imagine the glass overflowing with water. I open my eyes and gaze at the glass and a pool of water erupts from it. Suddenly, water is everywhere. I'm in a trance which I can't seem to stop. The water is pooling out of the glass aggressively, in abundant amounts and now the entire kitchen is almost filled with water. But I don't want to stop. I don't feel like I need to stop. It's almost like my powers have a mind of their own now and they're fighting to break free, but I don't want to control them.
Kali and I walk out of the house and make our way over to his car. It's a big black pick up truck his dad gave to him on his eighteenth birthday.I remember the look of joy and excitement Kali had plastered on his face when his dad handed him the keys to the truck. Kali has always wanted to own a truck and he was filled with happiness when his dad made that dream come true last year. "Ready?" He asks me as he opens the passenger's seat for me. I nod and he kisses my forehead and waits for me to get in before closing the door and heading over to the driver's seat. Once we're inside, he offers me a light kiss on the lips. "I've missed you." He says. "You saw me two days ago." I state. "So..?" He asks with a smirk. I just smile and shake my head as he bends the key and the car engine roars with life. It's a thirty minute ride from my house to our favourite spot and I can't wait for us to get there. I haven't eaten all day and my intestines are wrapping around each other begging

"I'm sorry too." She says while hugging me. "I should have never slapped you Layla. You're the last person in this world I'd ever want to hurt. Please forgive me." She says in between sobs. "It's okay mom. I'm sorry too. I was rude. I shouldn't have blamed you for what happened to dad." I apologize. "Your dad was a good person." She says while holding my face in her palms. "And he loved you so much, you have no idea." I don't know what to say to her so I just nod. "I have to shower and take a nap. I'm exhausted." I tell her and escape to my room. When I get in, I lock the door behind me and fall to my knees with my back to the wall, and I just let the tears fall. I don't know how long I cried for but I fell asleep on the floor. When I wake up, it's 2a.m. I change out of my clothes and put on my pyjamas and fall to my back in bed. I hurt all over, my head is aching, my eyes are swollen from crying and my feet
"Your dad died because of black magic." Those words leave her mouth and I can't believe my ears.What is she saying? She told me my dad died in a car accident when I was two years old? What is all this nonsense about black magic being the reason he died? Is she just making this up because I got my powers back? Is she that scared of me that she would stoop to making up stories? "Mom, what are you talking about? Dad died in a car accident when I was two remember?" "No, he didn't. Your dad like you was born with black magic. And he lost his life because of it. The magic consumed him Layla. It completely turned him into a different person. A person I could hardly recognize as my own husband." She explains. "You're lying!" I scream and the lights in her room start flickering. "It's the truth Layla. I'm sorry, but that's the truth. That's why I'm worried about you. I already lost one person to black magic. I'm not ready to lose another." She says. "I
"You just couldn't wait to see me huh?" Kali implores. "I miss you. Plus I have a lot to tell you." I state. "Come on, let's find a place to sit and you can tell me everything." He places his hands on my waist and leads me into the ice cream shop. We find a booth at the far end of the shop and cast a spell that allows no one to over hear whatever conversation we might have. A waitress brings chocolate ice cream flavor for me and strawberry for Kali. I waste no time to start digging into mine. I can't remember the last time I had ice cream and this tastes so good I think I'm going to have an orgasm. "Slow down or you'll have brain freeze." Kali mumbles. "It's so good." I moan"Kali, what do you know about black magic?" I implore, curious about what he has to say before telling him my big secret. "Well black magic has traditionally referred to the use of supernatural powers or magic for evil and selfish pu
