Abigail eventually came out of her bedroom, searching for her mother. She looked around the house but couldn’t find her. She knew that the only other place she could possibly be was in their greenhouse where they grew all of their herbs and spices. Abigail made her way out of the backdoor of their house and walked the few paces to their greenhouse. As she came closer she heard her mother whispering to someone. Abigail peeped into the greenhouse and saw that Emerald was on a phone call. Emerald was speaking to someone with a heated tone. “I need you to keep a close eye on her. There is no way that they could ever meet. It would be detrimental to both of them should that ever happen. They can never know of one another for there would be great ramifications should they ever join forces.” Emerald sensed that she was being watched and immediately hung up the phone call. Abigail hid around the corner of the greenhouse but she knew that it was futile for Emerald had amazing powers and w

Leah woke to the feeling of being watched again. She looked over to her window sill but saw no Raven. She felt heavy in her heart as if something wasn’t right, yet she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Leah sat up in bed and wiped the sleep from her eyes. She hadn't slept well at all, nightmares stirred her from her sleep. She felt exhausted. The events from the previous day played through her mind as she made to get out of bed. Today was a big day for Leah. Today her training would begin and she looked rather forward to it. Leah stretched before swinging her legs over the side of the bed. She felt a bit lightheaded but thought nothing of it. She made to get up but had to sit back down for she felt rather faint. Leah sat for a while taking deep breaths before she made to stand up again, this time feeling fine. She made her way to her bathroom, combed her hair, and brushed her teeth. It was still so foreign seeing two different colour eyes looking back at her, but she decided t

Emerald knew immediately what she needed to do. She didn’t want to tap into the dark arts but the Goddess had left her no choice. She was desperate and desperate people did desperate things. Especially when it came to witchcraft. Emerald went down to the kitchen and retrieved her cell phone. She knew that there was only one person who could help her now… Mordechai Idris. Mordechai was an acquaintance of Emerald and he was well-versed in the dark arts of witchcraft. She had never called on his services before, but she knew that she now had no other option. It was Mordechai or nothing. Emerald took a minute to contemplate what she was about to do. Was it worth the backlash that she would receive from the Goddess? The Goddess did not take kindly to meddling in the dark arts. It went against all that she stood for. Emerald needed to think this through before she made a huge mistake. A mistake that could not easily be undone. A mistake that could cost her dearly, along with Abigail.

Leah diligently worked on perfecting her craft. She practiced light spells like those of lighting candles with her intention of bringing on a gentle breeze. She was even able to make it snow for a short while, but she was careful to keep it only to her relevant location. Leah had learned to pull on her earth element, as she focussed her intent on making a plant bloom out of only a tiny seed. She was also able to command the creeper in the greenhouse to extend itself and entwine itself around a stick planted firmly in the ground. Leah was learning fast and that pleased Amber. She, however, had a bad feeling that something ominous was about to happen, but she just couldn’t put her finger on what it was. “I am very proud of your progress so far,” beamed Amber as she sat having some herbal tea with Leah during her break, “but there is still much for you to master in order to keep yourself safe.” “I must admit that I’m really enjoying bonding with my different elements, Mom. Who kne

Emerald couldn’t believe that she had stooped so low. How could she have been willing to turn to the dark arts to get what she wanted? It was something that she had never done before and something that she’d promised herself never to do. She sat in her office at her desk and contemplated her actions. She leaned onto her desk, resting on her elbows with her hands in the shape of a steeple, leaning her forehead on them. “What have I done,” she whispered to herself, “what have I become.” Emerald had never been a vengeful person. Yes, she’d kept tabs on Leah, but that was only intended to keep abreast as to how her powers were progressing. She’d never meant her any harm, but she also couldn’t allow her powers to become too strong. She needed both Abigail and Leah to be on equal footing. One should never be stronger than the other, should this happen then things could spiral out of control. Abigail entered the room and asked her mother if everything was ok. She’d never seen her look s

Birchwood had many hidden gems. A small cafe called All Things Brunch and a flower shop called Dewdrop, just to name a few. Leah and Caleb met up at Dark Roast, the local coffee shop, where they liked to meet every now and then just to catch up on how the other one was doing. Leah took a slow walk to Dark Roast and arrived after Caleb, who had already booked a table for them to sit at. She entered the coffee shop, the welcoming smell of coffee assaulting her nostrils, and headed straight for their table. Caleb was busy looking at the menu and only noticed her arrival when he saw movement in his peripheral vision. “Hey, Leah, you took your sweet time getting here,” joked Caleb who loved to get a reaction out of her. “All good things come to those who wait,” teased Leah as she pulled out her chair and sat down. “What’s with the sunglasses?” Asked Caleb, “it's not that bright outside.” He noticed that Leah had been wearing them more often now. “It's to hide my different eyes,”

Leah lay on her stomach on her bed. Her legs were bent at the knees and she slowly moved them up and down. Her grimoire lay open in front of her and her pens were spread out on the bed above it, as she wrote in her grimoire and adorned it with sigils and drawings. This was one of Leah’s happiest things to do and she spent a lot of time adding items to her grimoire. She hoped that it would one day be as full as her mom’s was. Leah was busy concentrating on an intricate drawing when her mom appeared at her door. “What are you up to?” Asked her mom, even though she knew what Leah was busy doing. “I’m working on my grimoire, Mom. I just love filling up the pages with spells and all things witchy.” Leah had a smile on her face that could light up a room. Amber loved the fact that Leah was spending so much time with her grimoire as it would one day become an extension of her, holding much power and guidance. “I’m happy to see that you are spending time bonding with your grimoire, but w

Leah and Caleb entered Silver Stardust for their shift. Both were excited to see what the day would bring. As there were no customers in the store yet, Caleb went straight over to the werewolf section to see if any new books had been added. To his disappointment, there weren’t any. Amber noticed Caleb hovering in the section and went over to him. “I see that you’ve gone straight to your usual spot,” teased Amber, seeing the sadness on his face. “I have a new shipment of books arriving this afternoon. You can help me pack them out if you like and at the same time see if there is anything in there that will pique your interest.” Caleb’s eyes lit up and a huge smile crossed his dimpled cheeks. “I’d love to help. You know that I’m always on the hunt for any book on werewolves. Let’s hope there’s one in the box.” “Then it's settled then. I’ll let you know as soon as they get here.” Amber couldn’t help but smile at Caleb’s excitement. She knew how much it meant to him to be able to

The day of the full moon came and Leah’s nerves were shot. She knew that she needed to return to the compound but was hesitant to go. Seth came to fetch her and Caleb decided to return with her as well. He wanted to be there with her for moral support. “I’m scared,” Leah confessed to Seth, “what if I don’t turn? What will happen to me then?” “Don’t you stress about that now. Everything will turn out as it should be. I do however have a feeling that you will turn. You are stronger than you think.” “Will it be painful?” Asked Leah almost shaking with nerves. “Yes, your first turn is always painful, but it isn’t anything that you can’t handle.” Seth had faith in Leah and knew that she was up for the challenge. “We best get going.” Said Caleb as he looked at his watch. “We don’t want to be late as there are still preparations back at the compound that need to be made.” Caleb knew that if he got Leah there a while before her turn that she would feel less stressed about it.

Leah loved her training sessions with Caleb. It was not only a chance to better her skills but also a chance for them to spend extra time together. “Are you ready for the next training session?” Asked Caleb as he entered the store, excited to see Leah. “You bet your bottom dollar I am,” smiled Leah as she saw him walking towards her, “you know that I always look forward to our training sessions. Maybe this time I’ll get to kick your ass for a change.” They both laughed and Leah marveled at just how handsome Caleb really was. His bright blue eyes once again dark blue, signally trouble was on the horizon. “Then let’s go little Miss Smarty-Pants,” he teased as they said goodbye to Amber and headed for the door. Leah and Caleb took a leisurely walk toward to forest, in no rush to let their day together end. They held hands as they walked through the forest, knowing that no one was around to witness their display of affection for one another. Once they approached the clearing they mad

Leah loved her training sessions with Caleb. It was not only a chance to better her skills but also a chance for them to spend extra private time together. “Are you ready for the next training session?” Asked Caleb as he entered the store, excited to see Leah. “You bet your bottom dollar I am,” smiled Leah as she saw him walking toward her, “you know that I always look forward to our training sessions.

Amber had cleanly forgotten about the protection spell that she wanted to do on Leah and Caleb. She asked them to meet her at Silver Stardust after their next shift in order to perform it together. Both agreed and joined Amber in one of her workshop rooms. Once there they noticed that Amber had her altar all set up and her grimoire open to a certain page, the one holding the spell. Caleb was rather freaked out for he had never had a spell performed on him before. He trusted Amber but still had his reservations. “There is no need to be afraid,” mentioned Amber when she saw the look of dread on Caleb’s face, “this spell is perfectly safe. It is only for your protection.” Leah happily joined her mother, knowing that both she and Caleb could only benefit from the spell, especially with the stranger still on the loose. Amber asked them both to come closer and take their seats near the altar. Caleb slowly crept closer while Leah happily took her place next to her mother, and as soon as

Abigail sat at her desk, staring at the doodle of the two hands she’d drawn. Why did these hands have such an impact on her? She almost felt as if they belonged together. As if they were one. “Abigail, what are you up to,” yelled her mother from downstairs, “you’re supposed to be practicing your magic in the back garden.” Abigail gave an eye roll and knew immediately that her mother would sense it, not really caring if it pissed her off or not. “I know that you might not feel like practicing today but you need to keep your lessons up in order to become stronger and more comfortable with your elements. Listen to me and get down here immediately!” Abigail got up from her chair and placed her grimoire back on her altar. The image of the hands haunted her. Why did they seem so familiar and why did she feel that they belonged together? Making her way downstairs to the back garden, Abigail stopped by her mother’s office, still seeing that her phone book was open to Silver Stardust. Had

Leah sat eagerly awaiting Caleb’s return. He’d sent word that he was on his way back from the compound and would meet her at the store. Amber noticed Leah fidgeting at the main counter as she stared at the front door, nervous about Caleb’s return. “Caleb should be here any minute now,” said Amber who had gotten word from Seth that they’d left the compound almost an hour ago. “I’ve missed him so much. It’s crazy how you can get so used to someone always being by your side and when they’re away it feels as if you’ve lost a part of yourself.” Leah blushed as she realized what she’d just said. She hoped that her actions hadn’t given away her and Caleb’s secret too soon. “I’ve missed him too, to be honest. I’ve gotten used to seeing his mischievous face around at the store.” Amber smiled at Leah, seeing straight through her secret with Caleb for she had seen how close they’d become. How they looked at each other. Caleb burst into the store a few minutes later, making a straight line t

Darius stood leaning against the windowsill of Julian’s cabin. His lean physique was the envy of many pack members. “I hear that we have a new recruit,” said Darius as Julian leaned back in his creaking leather chair. “Yes, we do. Caleb seems to be fitting in nicely. He is keen to learn and that’s always a promising attribute of a new Omega.” Julian had been keeping a keen eye on Caleb and he noticed that Seth had taken him under his wing. “I see that Seth has taken a keen interest in the boy. May I ask why?” Darius had no clue of Caleb’s backstory and liked being in the know of all of the new recruits. “His father used to be an important part of our pack. I’m sure you remember Alex. His death still pains me to this day.” A look of sadness crossed Julian’s face as he spoke about Alex, one of his best friends and confidants. “The boy seems to have some good skills when it comes to fighting. I’m sure we’ll make a hunter out of him soon enough.” Darius had been keeping an eye on Cal

Silden silently watched Leah as she practiced her magic in the back garden from her perch in the tree of her own garden. Being neighbors had helped Silden keep an eye on Leah, something Leah was not always aware of for she was deep in thought while practicing her magic. Her attention focused and tuned into her elements alone, forgetting about the world around her. Protected in her own surroundings. Silden watched her intently, impressed by all that Leah had learned in such a short amount of time. Leah truly was a powerful witch and had come into her magic naturally, with no struggles at all. It was almost as if she had been doing magic most of her life. Leah took a break from her magic and sat down on the grass, soaking up the afternoon rays of sunlight, when she got the feeling of being watched again. Looking around, Leah found the Raven with orange-tipped wings. “Who are you and what do you want?” Asked Leah brazenly, fed up with being watched and afraid. No longer fearful of th

Caleb walked the short way to the store to meet Leah. He was meant to work a shift that day but needed to speak with Amber about him going back to the compound. The doorbell tinkled as he entered and Leah’s face lit up. She was always happier when Caleb was around her. He seemed to have a calming effect that she couldn’t quite place. “Hey, Cal,” greeted Leah as he made his way toward the counter at the back of the store. “Hi, Leah,” replied Caleb, a goofy grin on his face. He thought that things might be awkward between the two of them since their kiss, but nothing had changed. They’d in fact grown only closer, something which made his heart soar. “You’re late for your shift,” commented Leah, trying to act all stern but failing miserably as soon as she burst out into giggles. “That’s actually why I’m here. Is your Mom around? I need to speak with her.” Caleb fiddled with the tassels of his hoodie as he waited. “Mom! Caleb’s here to see you,” called Leah towards her mom’s office.
