The Blackening Of Olive Lane Chapter 1
5:45 am, Lane Residence, Ravenwood. She was being pursued, she had to keep running. Why was she in a forest, the last thing she remembered was falling asleep on her bed and now she was here. She didn't even know what was pursuing her but she knew she couldn't let whatever it was catch up. She looked behind her and it was getting closer and in her panic, she didn't see the elevated root and she tripped. It was over, she had been caught. Fear gripped her, she could feel it behind her. She raised up her head to see what had been chasing her... "Ahhhhh" she bolted up from her prone position on her bed. She was shivering, her body and clothes soaked in cold sweat. "It was just a dream Olive, just a really bad dream" she tried to comfort herself but no matter what the terror would not go away. She tried to calm her fast-beating heart. This was the fifth nightmare in two weeks and they always ended the same way, her waking up before she could see the face of her pursuer. She kept convinci

"Ashton, always on time to bully me I see" Chelsea said with a mock hurt voice making Olive roll her eyes at her best friends drama. She kissed Ashton on his beautifully carved jawline and Chelsea couldn't help but be pleased with the fact that these two gorgeous people were her best friend and cousin.Ash had fluffy black hair and deep blue eyes that carried on to his form as a werewolf, a smile that could kill off the school's female population and a personality that could make anyone fall in love with him. Olive on the other hand, had straight blonde hair, a heart shaped face, hazel eyes, a smile that lit up any room she walked into and a personality that was sweet, so sweet that Chelsea sometimes wondered in her head if Olive really was that sweet or she was just manipulating everyone around her. Chelsea snapped out of her thoughts and saw the couple being all lovey-dovey. "Okay, okay stop it with the PDA" she said while giggling at the the embarrassed blush on Olive's face. "Com

Once they were done, Rosabella finally served dinner which was Mac and Cheese. They decided to eat in the kitchen and once they were done Rosabella finally let Olive put her hand in the cookie bowl, letting her take it to the living room for some post dinner entertainment.As Olive took the bowl to the living room, Rosabella poured the both of them a glass of soda and while she was alone, she did something extremely strange. She took out a vial from her pocket and pored it's contents into the glass meant for Olive. The red liquid fizzled and glowed ominously before fading and integrating with the transparent liquid. The smirk on her face was ever so discomforting. As she heard Olive's footsteps, she wiped the smile of her face and grabbed both glasses. The minute she turned around and took a step, Olive came into the kitchen a smile on her face. Rosabella handed her the glass with the liquid mixed in. "Here you go, have you set up the movie?" She questioned in order to distract Olive

"Olive, don't you ever think of yourself as a burden to me, do you understand? You can never be anything but a blessing" Rosabella's words made Olive teary eyed once again. "How long have you been having nightmares?" her concern obvious." For about a two months now" was Olive's reply making Rosabella suck in a deep breath. This was impossible. If Olive had been having nightmares, why hadn't she noticed? How had she hidden it from her? "How and why did you hide this for me?" the question made a chill go down Olive's spine. This was it, her mom was going to murder her for keeping it a secret for so long."I... It... I used a silence rune" she finally spit out. "It's carved into my bedposts. Every night after you leave and before I fall asleep I activate it so my bed becomes insulated and noise can't escape from it even though noise can come in."If it was at any other time and with any other person, they would have been proud that their child had been able to use such a common thing

Jessie went to the door and opened it. Standing in front of her, was a woman the same age as her mother with blond hair that looked so shiny she became jealous and eyes green like an apple. "Are you Mrs. Ross who spoke with me on the phone?" The beautiful woman questioned, her voice crisp and clear but also elegant and refined. Jessie quickly refuted the statement and welcomed the guest in. "This is the Mrs. Ross you spoke with, she is my mother" she pointed at her mother who walked towards her guest. "Hello, my name is Eva Ross, you can call me Eva or Mrs. Ross,I don't really care." she introduced while stretching her hand out for a handshake. "You can call me Rosabella or Mrs. Lane, then, whatever suits your fancy" Rosabella took the hand and reintroduced herself in return. She then took a look at the house she was to decorate. She was impressed with the furniture arrangements. "I have to admit you did a terrific job with the furniture. I might even say you've lessened my work
The Blackening Of Olive Lane Chapter 6
And so Olive, Chelsea, and the less talkative Rosie spent the day watching one Disney movie to another. Rosie and Olive were having the time of their lives, Chelsea, however, was still stuck on how her friend had so casually used wordless magic. It wasn't that she was sad or mad her friend could, she was rather worried because witches at her age could not activate their ability to use wordless magic until after their Coming of Age Ceremony. She didn't think Olive even noticed it, meaning that she had been doing so for a long time.She kept ruminating on this all through Frozen 1 and 2. It took Olive asking her friend to refill their chips stock for Olive to recognize that her friend was in deep thought. Dragging her friend to the kitchen, Olive started another round of questioning."Are you okay? What's wrong? " Her worried tone while asking the questions made Chelsea feel bad for worrying her friend so she decided to tell her the truth."Nothing's wrong, I was just surprised at how e

Dinner was a fine meal of Spaghetti and meatballs. In order to cater to Rosie's childish senses, there were also Dino nuggets. Rosabella was interested in how they spent the entire day, which Rosie was very happy to share."We watched Frozen and Captain America and Captain Marvel and Thor and Avengers and The Black Panther... " and so Rosie began to list every movie they had watched, everyone cooed at how cute she was."That's right, mom how was the client? "Olive asked as Rosie decided to focus on her Dino Nuggets. Rosabella was in the process of eating a forkful of spaghetti so she put it in her mouth and drank some water to wash it down."It was great. Luckily for me, this customer knew what she wanted and didn't make any outrageous demands like others tend to do. And to make things even better she already had a great majority of the furniture arranged before I got there. Honestly, it was the easiest job I've had in a while." And Rosabella wasn't lying, she did have fun working wit

Ross Residence,"So how did you spend your day Jess?" Eva inquired as they sat down to watch a movie after dinner.Jessie turned to face her mother. "Well, I walked around our block for a while. The neighbors are really friendly. I went to check out the school, I would have done my enrollment but I didn't have any of my papers. I met a werewolf, he was nice, even though he was there in detention. He showed me around town once his detention was over. We even had ice cream. " Jessie narrated.Eva turned and looked at her daughter, her eyebrows wiggling. "Was he cute?" she asked referring to the boy she spoke about. Jessie had nev|er blushed as hard as she was blushing right now in her entire life."Mom!" she exclaimed lightly whacking her mom with a pillow." That's not the point.""Then what is the point my darling?" Eva batted her lashes at Jessie making her blush even harder.Knowing her mother would not stop until she answered her question, Jessie murmured almost inaudibly. "Yes, he w

"Ow!" Olive let out a yelp almost crushing Chelsea's fingers from where she was holding it. The smell of her pain punched Chelsea in the gut. It was sour. More sour than the grapes she had last week as part of her dare. Chelsea could only squeeze back, hoping the gesture was enough to comfort her friend. After a while, her scent shifted from sour to stale telling Chelsea that she was no longer in a lot of pain but was still uncomfortable. "Hey Olly?" She tentatively called out. "Yeah Chelsea?" Was the response. "Do you think you'll be okay if I go grab us something from the cafeteria?" "Yeah. Sure." And with a smile Chelsea was sent off leaving Olive alone with nurse Winn. Ten minutes later, Chelsea still wasn't back from the cafeteria and Olive was progressively getting sleepier which was odd as she could never fall asleep in any sort of medical space because of her psy experience. Trying to fight the sands of Morpheus and failing woefully, Olive

During the lunch break, Olive decided to invite Skye to join them at their table. To her, Skye looked shy, if not a bit wary of them, and she wanted to change that.As they moved down the line, it was finally her turn, and as she grabbed her tray and began to move towards their table, the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to her since kindergarten happened.She tripped.She tripped and landed face-first on the floor, with her body squashing the food tray.The hall was quiet, as though its residents were trying to process the sight in front of them. At once, like a flipped switch, loud laughter flooded the room.Embarrassment like never before ran through Olive as Chelsea, who was already sitting, ran to help her up. Ashton had gone to the bathroom, and Olive was thankful he wasn't there to witness it."Are you okay?" Jessie asked as she rushed to Olive's side as well. She had been distracted by a text and thus had missed the sight of Olive tripping. She was only made aware that s

Jessie woke up Monday morning and for some reason, she felt off and her magic wasn't afraid to show it. It started with how she almost tripped because of a pillow that appeared out of nowhere on her way to the bathroom, then her magic setting the water too high and almost burning her skin off, then nicking herself with a knife with her magic bending the knife in her anger and finally, checking her bag before realizing her homework was on her reading table in homeroom.Banging her head on the desk, she attracted the stares of everyone and worried looks from her friends."Hey, what's wrong?" Olive asked softly in order to not be caught by the teacher. Jessie raised her head revealing her eyes that had gone red from frustration."Today has been the absolute worst. It's been one horrible moment to the other." Jessie whined. "I just have this feeling that something is going to go wrong today and it keeps making my magic go nuts."As she spoke, her desk promptly exploded into a shower of fl

Monday,At the ring of the bell signalling the end of the school day, students couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Jessie who had sat down in front of Olive looked up from her bag at Chelsea who was slumped over her desk and then at Ashton and Olive who were being all lovey-dovey. She grasped the concert tickets and summoned her courage."Hey, guys?" Her questioning tone bringing the other's attention to her. "You know the Enchantia Concert coming up this Friday... " She wasn't expecting Olive to let out a squeak. "Oh, my sweet candy fluff unicorns! I have been so distracted lately that I forgot their concert was this Friday." Her voice quickly morphed into horror. "I don't have tickets, I'm a terrible Chantia" she groaned slumping over her desk."Umm... I may have a solution to your problem." Jessie said and brought out the tickets from her bag.Olive looked up and lunged at Jessie pulling her into a dramatic hug. "You. Are. My. Saviour." she punctuated each word with a sque

And just like that the week came to an end. Jessie had somehow managed to carve out a space for herself in their little gang earning her envious eyes everywhere she turned.She could now proudly call Olive and Chelsea her friends without feeling awkward. They had made her feel so welcome it was like they had grown up together.They had scheduled a group outing at the arcade wanting the group to be complete and have a fun time celebrating the upcoming weekend.They had played all sorts of games before finally agreeing to play a game of laser tag. Huddling down together in the dimly lit lobby of the laser tag arena, Olive, Jackson, Jessie, Ashton, and Chelsea kept grinning at each other. Their adrenaline was pumping as they prepared to enter the neon-colored battlefield."I call the blue team!" Chelsea declared, snatching a matching blue laser tag vest from the pile."No way, I'm captain of the blue team," Jackson countered, trying to grab the vest out of Chelsea's hands.The two sibli

"It couldn't have been a dream, could it?" Olive asked already beginning to doubt herself. Grabbing her forehead, she rested her back on the wall and slowly slid down to sit on the floor.Rosabella spoke almost immediately," It has to be because I didn't hear a thing and the wards didn't pick up on any foreign magic."And just like that Olive was convinced that her encounter had been a figment of her imagination. She was sent back to bed and even though something at the back of her mind kept whispering that it wasn't a dream, she ignored it and settled down to sleep once again hopefully, without any bad dreams.Later in the day,By the time she got the school, Olive had already left the last vestiges of her dream at the back of her mind. Ashton had asked her out on a date and she was excited about it since their last date had been cancelled due to her panic attack.Once school ended, Chelsea bullied Jessie into joining her at Desiree's so Ashton and Olive could have time to themselve

Going into the house, Olive was met with silence. Her mom's car was in the driveway so she was obviously at home but for some reason, the silence made her extremely uncomfortable.Moving further into the house, she saw her mom passed out on the couch, documents all around her. Immediately she sighted her, the unease she had felt all day dispersed.She moved towards the kitchen trying her best to minimize her noise so her mom wouldn't wake up. It was, however, all for nothing as her mom stirred from her slumber."Olive..." Rosabella called, her voice thick with sleep making her pause and turn back. "Hi" Olive whispered as she move closer to her mother. "Sorry if I woke you.""It's okay, how was school today?" Rosabella asked as she stretched her back and her waist let out a loud crack making Olive choke on a giggle."It was okay, Ashton didn't come to school today and refused to tell me why, but he made up for it by meeting up with us at Desiree's." Olive shrugged."Oh, and there was

In Jackson's car,Jessie had thought that with them alone she would finally be able to summon the courage to speak to Jackson but she was wrong. It had been over 20 minutes and they were yet to even look at each other.She knew if she didn't speak to him, her mind would torment her later. So, she summoned her courage and turned to look at Jackson...Only to find him staring at her intensely.Her courage failed her and she looked away, grateful for the cover of fast-coming night to hide her red cheeks even though it was useless as Jackson's werewolf heritage gave him the ability to see clearly at night.On seeing he had been caught, Jackson turned his face to look at the road, a light pink dusting his cheeks. It was the first time in his life that both he and his wolf had been so intrigued by someone. The car was silent for a moment before two voices rang out simultaneously."So...""I..."They looked at each other and both let out little giggles that eventually morphed into full-blow

Desiree's Lounge,Jessie was having the time of her life. Never had she been accepted so fluidly into a pre-existing group. However, she noticed that the longer they stayed, the more Olive seemed to glance at the door."Are you waiting for someone?" She decided to bite the bullet and ask. Her response was a flush from Olive and a snort from Jackson."She waiting for her boyfriend and my co, Ashton. He didn't come to school today so they decided to meet up here." Chelsea was kind enough to explain."Ohhhh. Okay." She might have spoken in a calm tone but inside she was bursting with joy. Was this what Kpop fans who had avenues to meet their bias felt like? If Olive looked this good, wouldn't her boyfriend be an Adonis? While she got lost in her fantasies, Jackson studied the girl beside him. Jessie Ross. Even her name sounded cute. When he had bumped into her during his detention, he had decided to give her a tour purely on impulse. He was stumped after she left and he realized that th
