I was in a field, alone. My eyes
stung as the hot sun's rays beat down on me." Tobias." I felt someone whisper in my ear.
Most people wake up to the sweet sound of birds chirping. Or they wake up to the smooth words of a loved one, or maybe the smell of their favorite breakfast wakes them up. I on the other hand woke up to the sound of my mam yelling at me." Come on hurry up we don't want to be late. You know Veronica doesn't like it when people are late!" My mam yelled.I swear to satan I've never gotten ready so fast in my life. I slipped don my last shoe as we left the house.My first lesson of the day is apparently with Veronica. She will probably just tell us how strong the bond with our familiar is or something that we basically already know.We hurried across the meadow. I'm frantically trying to keep up with my mam.I don't know why but a part of me thought that my mam would not go through Hawthorn, but she turned down the path into the village." I thought we weren't going to come through here. After w
" Are you alright master you look horrible?" Halin shrieked, his deep dark eyes shiningwithconcern.After the dream I had last night I h
Our eyes remained locked for what felt like an eternity. Her ocean-blue eyes sparkled in the bright rays of the sun." I am so sorry I didn't see you. Are you okay?" She apologized. Her voice was smooth and graceful.She pushed herself up then she held her hand out for me.
" Tobias are you ready?" My mam called.I tried to get Ava out of my head by practicing my fighting. When that didn't work I decided to have a nap.But not even sleep could rid my mind of the Ava and her soul branding blue eyes. My dreams were plag
I am alone in a dark room.The room spread over for miles and miles. Theroomechoed with thesoundoffeethittingthe glass-like floor.
I yawned as I watched the sun beginning to peek out from the horizon. The birds flew over our head chirping like mad. The ground was still wet from last night's heavy rain. The mud-stained the bottom of my boots and pants.Cleo and Naomi stretched and yawned, desperately trying to keep their eyes open. The rest of the coven sat to the side. Like us, they are waiting for Lizzie.This morning my mam woke me up a
Ever since I found that book I have been on edge.This girl I am seeing in my dreams and my visions is my mate. She is out there somewhere possibly looking for me or just waiting for me to find her.The book said that the dreams start when mates are close to each other so obviously I have probably met her.
* Lauren's POV*Ever since Lizzie told me that Tobias has been having visions I have been keeping a close eye on him.I was enraged that he didn't tell me about the visions. I became even more enraged when he lied to me about what they
" So what do you think?" Naomi asked.I gazed out at her masterpiece. After the engagement, Naomi insisted she had to be our wedding planner. Neither Ava nor I could disagree. It was very obvious that Naomi had a better flair for decorating and all that other important things than we did so we let her have free rein over this whole thing and I certainly don't regret it.The church looked unrecognizable. White and gold cloth hung over the ceiling and down the walls. A gold aisle ran along the floor up to the rose-covered altar. The back of every pew was also laced with the cloth and secured with blood-red roses." It is absolutely amazing," I smiled," Must have taken you hours."" Nope, it only took half an hour. Life works faster when you still have magic." She smirked.Ever since that night we defeated the witches Naomi has been droning me that now that I am human she is the greatest between the two of us. And technically she is right.Some
*Ava's POV*Eventually, after I don't know how long I stopped crying. Only letting out small sniffles and hiccups.I held the pendant in my hands. My father and the rest of the men had stepped back, letting me have my space.Naomi kneeled silently next to me muttering something under her breath." What are you doing?" I asked her." Praying." She said." I thought witches didn't pray to God." One of the men said.They all looked at her for her answer, for her explanation." We don't," She chuckled," We pray to many things. We pray to the Dark Lord when we want gifts. We pray to Lillith when we want protection. But in this case, when a witch's soul and in some cases their body leave this physical plane we pray to
*Tobias's POV*Many say time goes slow in the worst moments of our lives. Those people are right. The last thing I saw was my Ava crying, begging me to stop. But I didn't." I love you." I said then I went into the pendant.The fall from Earth into the pendant was slow. Slow and excruciating. And all I could think about was Ava and all I could hear was her cries, and all I could see were her tears.All I could see was Ava and then nothing.I la
*Ava's POV*I fell to my knees,crying. Large hot tears poured like rivers down my cheeks and watered the ground beneath me.I cried like there was no tomorrow. I punched the wet ground and swore to the heavens above. But it was no use, it wouldn't bring him back.How could he leave me?After everything we have been through why would he leave me like this?" Please give him back!" I screamed into the night air. My voice bro
*Ava's POV*" Why can't we go back?" I asked Naomi as she shut the door behind her." Because Tobias is handling everything. With Lizzie gone the threat is over. Tobias will be alright." She smiled as she gently rubbed my shoulder." Are you sure?" I asked." Yes, I am."I wasn't sure what the feeling was or where it was coming from but I am sure Tobias is going to do something. He will do something drastic and I need to stop him.But first I need to get away from Naomi." I'm starving," I sighed," Would you like anything to eat?"" I didn't even realize I was hungry until you asked." She chuckled." I'll see what's in the kitchen."When I was younger I used to get horrible nightmares
Rain began to pour down on us as we ran to the temple. Naomi and I led the charge. Lightning flashed the sky and thunder roared.When we reached the outer rim of the meadow where the temple sat we stopped and ducked beneath the tree line." What is the plan?" Naomi asked." I'll go in and when I give the signal you rush in." I explained." And what exactly is the signal?"" You will know when you see it." I said.I looked out at all the men. All of them were nervous and scared, but they were also very determined to stop the coven.And so am I.I took a deep breath then ran across the meadow and into the temple.The walk to the arena was filled with fear. I peered around every corner waiting for someone to jump out and attack me but nobody came.When I reached the arena the whole coven was sitting in their usual spots. Even my aunt who never showed a drop of malice was there, a glare of hatred in her eyes." A
*Tobias's POV*Thunder clouds roared in the distance and lightning lit the afternoon sky. The waves rose higher and higher and I fear my small boat sound hold on for long." Halin do you see anything?" I yelled over the waves crashing against the side of the boat.Halin swooped into the air above me then immediately came back down." Icouldfaintly see it master butIdon'tthink we will make it. The storm is vastlyapproaching."A giant wave crashed against the side of the boat. Halin shrieked as the boat tipped to the side, just before we fell into the freezing water the boat tipped back." We need to get off the water."" I agreemaster."I turned around t
*Ava'sPOV*I silently sat by the fire as I watched Tobias shuffle through the thick snow.The wind and snowflakes violently slashed against his body but he soldiered through it and he disappeared into the distance.Halin rushed into the living room and curled himself into a ball by the roaring fire." Did you sleep alright?" I asked him.He twisted his head towards me and let out a loud bark.
Peace. That word for me used to be me sitting by my oak tree in the hidden valley just to get away from my mother. But now peace is me sitting in my rocking chair reading my book.Great,Iused to doeverythingto get away frommymam and nowIam my mam.Lifesure does suck sometimes.The roaring fire crackling in the fireplace along with my fur coat are the only things keeping me warm from the raging cold outside.Last night snow began to fall harder and the temperature dropped significantly. It's a winter fucking wonderland outside.Ava and I have spent the last week doing two
