Chapter one: Loss

Standing in her mother's outdated kitchen, Ivy took in her cream-coloured curtains with the lemon print and the orange wood cabinets. The creamy brown tiles on the floor needed new grout and a scrub. She sat at the round wooden kitchen table and watched the people walk in and out of the kitchen, placing casserole dishes on the countertops or finding a place in the large double fridge. Food seemed so unimportant. Why were her mother's friends and family bringing food?Today was expected. Her mother having cancer meant they knew at point she would have to say goodbye. Yet it was still a shock to her system. Her puffy eyes and tired body could only watch silently as people came in to ask, "How are you doing?"Ivy just sat there in silence, not wanting to answer. It certainly wouldn't be what people wanted to hear or care to listen to. "What a stupid question" Ivy muttered to herself. Waiting for people to leave the house, emptying it and leaving only the heavy silence. A new thing for

Chapter two: Questions

Ivy woke up to her phone vibrating against the solid red wooden side table in her childhood bedroom. The sun snuck through the purple curtains and settled a beam across the center of her room. Ivy slowly sat up, pushing the straight black strands out of her face. She checked to see William written on the screen of her cell phone."What the fuck does he want?" Ivy wondered to herself before answering, not bothering to hide the anger in her voice as she answered. "Hello William. What do you want?" Ivy answered the phone with no effort to hide her distaste for his name in her mouth."Ivy.... I know I wasn't there, but being the mayor, I can't just drop everything and go over to Shoreside city." Ivy couldn't hold back the irritated scoff that escaped her lips in response to his lies' an excuse to miss her mother's funeral. The woman he married. Even if it wasn't the best marriage, he must have loved her at some point. Otherwise, what bother with marriage at all?"William, this is total

Chapter three: Mayfair

The sun shone brightly. The sky was a clear bright blue, and a slight breeze that danced over the ocean delicately dancing through Ivy's hair. Yesterday's uncertainty was replaced with fear and anxiety. She had to go across the ocean to see the island where her family originated from. Ivy was happy about the opportunity to learn about her family’s history, more in depth. However, she was terrified of the trip she was about to embark on to see her aunts and other relatives.Climbing onto the boat felt like she was stepping into certain death. Her dad gently took her hand, guiding her to the indoor seats to help her forget the water that was all around them.Ivy sat next to her dad on the boat. It wasn't the newest-looking thing, but it seemed sturdy. Its red bench seats were soft and provided minimal comfort, not like that would change how Ivy felt at that moment. Ivy was feeling anxious and wished there was a flight to the island instead. That surely should be a thing now, she though

Chapter four: Detective Jack Marshall

Jack sat in his apartment in its dim lighting staring at the laptop screen with open case files and frustration etched across his face. He ran his hand through his chestnut brown wavy hair and his deep brown eyes focused on the location of the little girls' disappearances at Shoreside city park. The descriptions of the three girls were in front of him. Jack found himself rereading them hoping something would click into place. Surely a similarity to something they were last doing could be a clue as to where these girls ended up. Yes, they were all in the park with their mothers, but there had to be more. Honestly, Jack knew the only clue that these girls were at the park in the first place, apart from all three mothers reporting them being taken, personal items of the girls were found: a shoe being Anna's. Drew's scarf and Leah's watch. He wasn't sure if these were left as calling cards or if the girls or the girls lost them in the struggle, but the whole thing didn't sit right with de

Chapter five: Winter rose’s

The inside of the car had a smooth leather interior and William sat in a navy blue suit. It was pressed to perfection and his crisp white shirt was in contrast to the blue hue of the expensive suit that William wore. William was looking at his daughter, a small smile playing on his lips like a cat that caught the mouse as it was about to play. The look made Ivy shudder. Her skin pricked, and the air felt heavy and felt like it was buzzing. It was a strange feeling in the car with them, one she didn't quite understand and definitely didn't like.She looked at the streets they passed with herbal shops and boutiques, fruit markets and other small places to fulfill the various needs of the people that lived on Mayfair Island. The whole Island was relaxed and self-sufficient, it seemed that people rarely left Mayfair and Ivy wondered why so many seemed hell-bent on staying on this Island. What was it about this place that kept them content to stay here their whole life? Ivy couldn't help b

Chapter six: A Winter rose's past

Lillian knelt on the ground. Her pregnant belly was getting bigger. She felt the weight of the child growing in her womb. Lillian also felt her power double, a clear sign that the baby that grew in her was powerful too. The wavelength of the baby's power wasn't like Lillian's, it was closer to Williams and that unsettled Lillian. She had known William since she was sixteen, and he wasn't exactly a good warlock, but one that often delved into the darker magic. Not like hexes or banishment or a light curse. Something that made his wave length low and dark. His aura was murky and smokey, filled with images of death. Lillian loved this man and was well aware that he had been hiding things from her. Lillian, too, had hidden things from him. Her light magic was more than what it seemed, and she would keep her power to herself. So he wouldn't become cruel to her. He had a tendency to hate anyone that was a healer or a light magic worker. He deemed them to think they were above Mayfair's a
