Bloodroot Flower
Claire struggled to keep her head up as Jocelyn walked towards her. She could hear Colin growl, along with the sound of snapping bones. “What are you doing? Where are you taking her?” he snarled at the witches.
“I would never hurt my granddaughter, Mr. Lucin. But you on the other hand? Look at yourself! You can’t even control your own shifting!” Jocelyn countered after she marched up to his door.
He snarled in response, but Claire heard another bone snap. He moaned in pain, a pain that Claire could feel in the air. She tried to call out to him, “Colin?”
“Don’t worry about him, dearie,” the Priestess replied for him.
Her snide tone only made Claire push forward against the witch blocking her path. “Don’t hurt him!” she begged.
The witch, a short, dark-skinned woman with cropped curls, rolled her eyes as she moved closer. Claire kicked her foot out, trying to knock th

Claire slowly opened her eyes, wincing as the fluorescent light of the room blinded her. She tried to sit up, but a shooting pain ran down her spine, and she remembered the last thing that happened before she passed out. She wanted to growl and curse the old Priestess, but she felt too weak to do more than groan while rolling onto her side. The door slowly opened, and she stiffened, hating how fear coursed through her. Gritting her teeth over her throbbing body’s argument, she sat up against the wall on the bed, glaring at the entryway. It was the man, the one who brought Colin in. The one who Jocelyn sent after him. Claire growled softly as he closed the softly, staring at her. He rubbed the back of his bald head, a clear expression of guilt on his face. Reaching up, he snapped the vent shut, and almost immediately, C
The Legend of The Hybrid Magic
Jones’s words rang in Claire’s ears over and over again. “He decided to pretend that you didn’t exist. He gave up.” He gave up on the life of his child. She wanted to ask a hundred more questions; how long did he look? Where did he look? Did he really pretend that she didn’t exist? When was the last time he thought of her? Did he still love her? Did he ever love her? Claire hated how these thoughts wormed their way into her brain and tried desperately to block them out. All her life, her birth father had abandoned her birth mother. He had been a selfish specter, but not a haunting one. To say that he had occupied even the back of her mind offered him too much credit. But now, seeing a pair of eyes that looked so much like her own, she suddenly needed to know him.&nbs
The Legend of The Hybrid Love and Protection
Jones stared at Claire as she whispered, “What happened next?” Suddenly, she was a little girl again. He used to tell her scary stories about werewolves, vampires, fae, and warlocks. May hated it, but he couldn’t say no when his little niece looked up at him with big eyes and asked so politely for a story. He would always stopped at the climax, sighed dramatically, and say that it’s too scary. She would grab his hand and say she wasn’t scared, that she would be brave. She would ask, so excited, “What happened next?” This was not a little girl asking for a story. This was practically a carbon copy of his sister, the last family left from a life he tried so hard not to forget. Her leg was jumping in her seat, but out of agitation, n
The Legend of The Hybrid The Vampire King
Elias paced impatiently by the door. The sooner he came, the sooner all of this would be over, and he would have his child back. It pained him to think of what that witch was doing to her, what she was telling her. Elias had planned to eventually tell Claire the truth, but not until he was certain that she could handle it. And if she never developed any connections, he simply would never tell her. After all, enough of his lie was true that it would not be found out. The sound of a car turning up his gravel driveway did not put Elias at ease. The butler opened the front door with a deep bow as the master of the house sat in the drawing-room, drinking a cup of black tea mixed with enough laudanum to knock out an elephant. “Elias, my old friend!” a booming voice
The Legend of The Hybrid The Council Meeting (1)
The ceremony surrounding The Council was not particularly extensive, but it was too much for the thin patience Elias had for the situation. Since The Council Meeting was called due to a vampire’s misconduct, Ife was responsible for most of the formalities, especially pertaining to evidence. Only the truth would be tolerated, and to ensure such, each representative of The Council had ways to force the truth out. The High Priestess casted a spell based in blood magic. The Alpha King commanded it. The fae representative carried a book charmed by the first fae queen, Titania. As for Ife, he simply told the vampires that they could not lie. As one of the men on trial, Elias was closely guarded by soldiers of each species. He could not care less. “Why is none of thi
The Legend of The Hybrid The Council Meeting (2)
Ife Adeyemi stepped forward with a toothy grin. “Mademoiselle Claire, enchanté.” Claire looked hesitantly to Elias, who smiled encouragingly. “I understand that you are unfamiliar with The Council as a whole?” “I, um. Well, I,” she stammered, uncomfortable with the stares of so many on her. “I’ve done a bit of, I’ve read some.” Ife’s grin grew; he liked her. She was beautiful, yes. But too many vampires tried to stand too tall to him, tried too hard to seem confident. He liked that she was smart enough to be scared. “Well, it is my job to ensure that you do not lie. Unlike humans, we prefer to.” He
The Legend of The Hybrid The Council Meeting (3)
When Marwen decided that Jocelyn would ‘take the stand,’ as it were, Claire felt a bubble of hope flutter around her chest. She would have to tell the truth. She would admit that everything she said about Elias was a lie, and that Claire wasn’t really a witch with any powers, and that everything could go back to the way it had been those few minutes that she felt freedom. But the cruel smirk gracing her grandmother’s face quickly popped anything she felt. She wore that smile as the High Priestess created the same blood spell, pressing it against the Priestess of The Yew Coven’s forehead. The dryad faced the old witch with a glare; they did not care for her cocky attitude, nor the fear that she struck into the hybrid. “You were listening
The Legend of The Hybrid The Council Meeting (4)
There was a visible tremor of shock that ran through The Council Members after Jocelyn announced so calmly that Claire should die. A small squeak of fear escaped the hybrid’s lips, but she did not give the witch the satisfaction of looking in her direction. Marwen only narrowed their eyes in anger. “The Council did not ask for your opinion on the matter, Priestess. And we do not appreciate it. You may leave.” They raised their voice and spoke above the fire, “Elias Elhassan.” Jocelyn left, the matter-of-fact smile still on her face. Elias glowered at her as they passed one another. Immediately, he stood by Claire and reached his hand out to hers. Lifting her puffy face up from her hands, she stared at him blankly, ignoring his outstretched ha
