Alexandru Point of ViewCamille speaks "Okay, what do you want to know?"Adaline sits back, and I say "Let's start from Lily."There is silence, like they are trying to get their thoughts together, this must be hard on them."Lily is my sister, younger sister by two years. She was undeniably beautiful, red hair that flowed forever, and a mesmirizing smile, she was perfection." "When she became a Flower, I was jealous, because I thought as the elder sister, I should have been made a Flower, not my little sister who took everything from me, she made me hate myself, had the red hair I wanted, the name I preferred, and an extensive knowledge of magic." Adora says and we listen."It was a hard stage of my life, I made myself believe I wasn't enough and got angry at Lily's confidence and never failing self love. She was a bundle of joy, happpiness, she was everyone's friend, everyone loved her, and I was the ugly, sad and jealous elder sister." "It was just us, Our parents didn't have chi
Alexandru Point of View"They placed a curse on us, for my first born to die, for Camille first child to be cursed. They took Caleb's life, took Elena's Mom. They took everything from us, and we were left with nothing, just cursed, and we could do nothing about it. That was the saddest day in my life. Lily was inconsolable, with the choices laid at her feet, to save you, she must leave you, no mother should ever have to face that."Camille cries softly, then say "The decison was clear, they had to save you, but leaving forever, never contacting, never stepping foot in New Orleans again, I cried so hard for Lily, the beautiful Lily, how could that be her fate. After much deliberation by the family, after mourning our losses and burying the dead, it was decided, but first, she would enjoy every second of the two years.""So she did, spent every second with you, laughed when you laughed, and cried with you. When you became one year old, we tried to throw a party, but she couldn't do anyt
Alexandru Point of View"I had my first child, Luc when Alex was six, four years after Lily left, and I thought the curse would have faded with time, how stupid of me, so when he died, I was angry, blamed everyone and everything, blamed him, was angry with him, with Lily, even with Tony, I cried all day and night, didn't speak to him, and when I did, I was hostile to him, it felt like that hatred I had for Lily when we were kids.""Until one day, Tony was feeding me, and Alex came to me, with beignets and chocolate ice cream, he was Lily's child, so everyone loved him, at six years old, he was known. He came to us, gave me the chocolate and doughnuts, and told us to call him Luc, said he would be the perfect son, said he would protect the family, said a lot of things.""I broke down in happy tears, apologised to him, promised to love him forever, and I kept that promise. He took my baby's name in his honour, because even at sux years old, Alexandru was slowly becoming the best man I k
Adaline Point of View.He watches me walk inside Elena's, then he drives away. Now, alone with my thoughts, the chaos of it, I try to process everything they said, and I feel my head ache.I open the door, and they look at me, Elena, Alina, Blu, Selena, Lola and Francia, for a moment, feeling their gaze on me, I close my eyes, and I see Zoe and I, laying on my bed, singing along to Halsey, eating junks and leaving the wrappers all over my place.I close my eyes, and I see Zoe, dancing with me, getting drunk together, phone calls, text messages, all the ways we were, and there's a knot in my throat that never unwinds."Rory?" I hear, and flinch."Aurora." I say, eyes on Blu, who is frowning, I stare at the girls who share similar look."I don't like Rory, I prefer Aurora." I lie with a smile, lying is becoming easy for me, I guess years of practise does that."Are you okay, Aurora?" Elena says, holding a tray of meatpie."Yeah, let's party!" I exclaim, closing the door behind me, and t
Adaline Point of View"Don't laugh, I don't know what to do." She cries"Is he married?" I ask, smiling widely."No, I don't see a ring on his finger." She says."Have you guys ever had a conversation outside of school?" Blu ask."Yeah, we divert sometimes, talk about food, New Orleans, and Marvel Movies." She smiles at the memory, she's gone."My kind of man." I say, earning laughter from every one, even her."Does he give you vibes that he feels the same?" Lola asks, leaning on my shoulder."I don't know, I catch him looking at me." She mutters, and we go wild."Girl, bone him." Elena says and I am gasping for air, having laughed so much."His hand lingered the other time, on my back.""What are you waiting for!" I holler"Bone him!" We all chorus, then fall into a feat of laughter, this is nice."Hey, Don't tell Luc." She says to me, and I raise my hand in surrender, about to say something when a phone rings, my phone.We all turn to it, and it's a number I can't recognize, conside
Adaline Point of View"Tradition can and will be changed." I say, taking a long shot of Bourbon, then stuffing my face with a cookie after that, to avoid questions."Then," Elena continues."You will be crowned in front of the crowd, you will make a speech, say what the Ancestors told you, and we'll all celeberate, singing and eating into the night, the next morning, you'll move into the Witches' Quarter, and live you day forever as the ruler, till you die.""So many things wrong with that plan," I pipe up "I am not moving into the Witches' Quarter, nothing can make me leave Alex's home, a place that is slowly becoming my home, and like I said, Traditions can and will be changed.""First, you and my brother are becoming sickingly gross." Alina says, and I giggle."And, We do need some fresh blood, who won't lick the Ancestors' ass, so I am with you, however there's someything else." She says in an alarming voice, making us sit upright."I really have to pee, and sleep, I have to see
Adaline Point of View"So we laid a trap for them, got our plan in motion. We spoke to our witches, and for the first time, we killed a Vampire, Demon, and a Wolf, we burnt them alive and boiled their bloods from inside, we could have taken control of them all, but this was a trap, remember?" Gowdie looks at me, and I see something in her eyes, but I don't break the look, until she smiles and continue where her friends stopped."They came to us like we wanted, and united, they slaughtered the four of us, draining our bodies of blood, tearing us to pieces, how stupid of them, we didn't even put up a fight. It was all a ritual, so there, we were slaid, and their people were slaid, we rose.""Rose? You were dead." I say, sitting straight, looking at them."Before the killing, we had cursed the land, some countereffect, and active spells, so when they slaughetered us, they couldn't leave, and were trapped, there, the other witches came out, strenghtened the spell that kept them trapped w
Adaline Point of ViewI scoff "If you can, you would have, do not threaten me.""Yes, we shouldn't, what we could do, well," Boleyn laughs "We could tear Zoe limb from limb, I see the gears turning in Buckland and Ronan's head, they already want to dispose her, just thinking of the right way, make it look like an accident.""I see the thoughts she has, her guilt, and pain, how she so badly want to escape, and there's something else I see clearly, her death, nothing will stop that."My Heart skip a beat, and my face probably betrays me because she smiles."Or we could pay a visit to your new friends, the little witches and the tiny wolves, keep the wolves, forever in a state where they turn, the breaking of bones, the agony, imagine Alina in that state, what will Alexandru think?""We could also shun the witches from their covens, erase them from existence and trap in limbo, maybe Camille, Adora, or even the oh so precious Alexandru, he is isn't skilled in occulumency like you are.""
