27: Turning 18
*Soleil*
You have called for us child !
With a choked gasp I open my eyes, as someone is knocking at my door and my mum walks in, carrying a tray.
"Happy birthday to you, Happy ..". She sings and puts the tray on the bed.
Newly baked buns with butter, hot cocoa and a birthday flag in the middle, exactly like last year and the years before that, for as long as I can remember. I have to give in and admit that I probably like my mum's stubbornness when it comes to traditions, especially this one.
"Happy birthday my sweet girl. Now you're officially a grown up". My mum sits down on the edge of the bed and sends me a loving smile.
The strange woman's words from my dream are still in my mind and I'm not sure it really was a dream or if it was reality.

*Soleil* "Hi and welcome, I am Tanya". The woman's smile is friendly and she holds out her hand to me. "Mark told me it's your birthday today, congratulations". "Thank you". I say, smiling shyly as I shake her hand. Tanya exudes friendliness and warmth, and I immediately like her. My eyes slide down her dress, It really is almost identical to the one that Davina has made for me, but where mine has a flower bort, hers has silver Celtic knots along its edge. "Come on we are going quite far into the forest, it is this way". Tanya waves me along onto a path. "Mark told me that he has explained which special astronomical phenomena we are having these days. A super full moon happening at the same time as the summer solstice. Wow, it's crazy. I can't even imagine which fantastic powers are going to dance with us tonight, when both the
The witch and her wolf series 29: What happens to vampires in the sun ?
*The vampire*When I return home from my girls house, I throw myself on the couch in my private rooms and look out on the small lake. How can a cow have this effect on me ? It is close to even exceeding my feelings for… no nothing compares to her ! The woman that turned me, who granted me eternal life she is without any equals. But my girl, there is something about her, something I have never experienced with any cow before. The images of her naked body and the effect it had on me is right under my skin and I can't ignore the obsession that has grown inside me. She is perfection. Her scent, her innocence, and now her body and her real look, beneath the goth facade, it is all perfect.For a moment I contemplate calling one of the volunteers to satisfy my lust, but I do not want to ruin the deep desire for her; not when I have fought my desire for so long. All the bagged blood I have forced down is not
The witch and her wolf series 30: Birthday party surprise
*Soleil* What ? I blink feeling confused, but it is still the ceiling in my room I see. But it can't be. I cradle my head, trying to remember how I got home from the forest. Was it just one of my weird dreams ? "Damn, I am just about ready for the asylum". I mumble to myself, pulling the duvet off. My feet hit something soft on the floor. When I look down my stomach makes a backflip and I pull my feet back up with a yelp. In front of the bed is the white dress, as dirty as it can get. I try not to look down while I rummage for my phone and call Davina. "It's me". My voice breaks. "When are you coming over ?" "In a couple of hours. What's the rush, doll ?" Davina mumbles, sounding very sleepy. "Nothing really.. or well it can wait till you get here. See
The witch and her wolf series 31: A whole new world
*Soleil* "I am not getting any premonitions Elder. But it doesn't seem like anyone is following us". The woman behind the wheel says with what sounds like a Scottish accent. She puts the car in gear and drives out of town. I stare at the three women that crashed my birthday party and almost dragged me into the car, not sure if I should be scared. I have no idea where we are going and even less why I have gone with them. "I can't feel any presence either". The older woman in the passenger's seat says. "Whatever the darkness is, it isn't following us, not yet anyway". I flinch slightly when my eyes lock with the women sitting next to me. She sends me a friendly smile. "I know you are a bit scared right now sweetie, it's okay". Even as my mouth opens and I try to protest, not a single sound is
The witch and her wolf series 32: Luca’s secret
*Luca* I am running through the forest as fast as I can, looking over my shoulder again and again, panic and fear is gripping me. Slightly behind me and to the left I can hear a giant beast brave through the scrub and bushes, hunting me. I am running faster than I have ever done before but the beast still follows me easily. It gets up on my side and in three long jumps it is in front of me. It keeps running in front of me, pressuring me to turn left and run back towards where we came from. "Come on ! Calm down for shits sake. We can't have you running into town". A man runs up on the other side, slightly behind me. Oh God no ! This is the end. I almost can't run anymore, the pain in my legs about to overcome me as the last energy reserves disappears from my muscles. A fallen tree shows up in front of me, and I jump with everything I got to get over it. Before I can l
The witch and her wolf series 33: Welcome to Ballimore
*Soleil*I jump slightly as both the front doors open at the same time and I sit up confused. I must have fallen asleep, because it is light outside now. Yesterday comes crashing down on me and the insecurity creeps back under my skin."Morning". Gudrun says calmly."Where are we". I whisper, my eyes blinking against the harsh light.The forest is dense around the courtyard where the car is parked. The house in front of me is an old wood cabin painted in red and white with a big deck in dark wood. There is only one opening in the forest beside the narrow driveway, a wide path leading to a lake."Welcome to Ballimore". The red head says with a smile. She clearly sees me looking at the lake. "Please take a walk, stretch your legs, take a look at the lake"."I am no
The witch and her wolf series 34: Does this come with superpowers ?
*Soleil*The others are already filling their plates, when I come in. From the front door I step directly into an old fashioned combined dining and living room. I can see a kitchen through a door. I walk over to the table, sitting down at the empty spot.I suddenly realise how hungry I am and I start loading food up on my plate when Gudrun hands me the dish with the fish."I noticed that you made the wind blow back in your garden and when you received your calling there was a violent wind involved too". Siri says before taking a bite of the fish. "After lunch we better try to figure out where that comes from"."So that is my superpower or what ?" I say hasing a potato around my plate, finally spearing it with my fork.Gudrun coughs, almost choking on her fish. "I wish it was like that ! I could use
The witch and her wolf series 35: Meeting new friends
*Soleil*"Are you ready to get going, Soleil ?" Siri says, grabbing a sweater.We walk into the forest towards the north, a small downtrodden path that leads us deep in between the dense pine trees. The smell is different in the forest. Beside the scent of the damp earth and rotting plants that I am used to, it smells of tree sap.We haven't walked for long when we reach a small stream running down towards the lake by the cabin."If you should ever get lost in the forest, find this stream and follow the flow. It will lead you back to the cabin". Siri says."The forest stream". I say with a nod, stepping up on the old tree trunk that is laying over the stream as a bridge.We keep walking, getting farther into the forest until we reach a clearing. I stop in my tracks whe
