Avalon City Chapter Ten
Today was the day; the big day Avery had been waiting for, feeling both excited and terrified the closer it came. September 9th: her twenty-first birthday and the day Avery was supposed to be initiated into her late mother's Coven- the Faewood Coven. Or should she address it as her aunt's Coven? But how could she? Because the woman that raised her was the only mother Avery had known. And though she wanted to be angry, Avery wanted to hate where life had thrown her- she couldn't. Biological parents or not, they were the best parents a child could wish for. Besides, now that she knew that her biological mother had given up on her life to save Avery, no matter how hurt she was, Avery just couldn't feel any anger towards the mother she never got to know and the mother who never told her the truth. It had already been two days since her last dream revelation, two whole days since an unconscious state of Avery's mind had given her the chance to watch everything happen with her own eyes
Avalon City Chapter Eleven
Avery wiped the tears from her cheeks as she tried to take in Meredith's words. It felt weird how much the woman's explanation sounded like a confession as if she didn't want anyone to find out or swore to take the secret to her grave. "When I found Ellie in that village, she was sure you died with your mother and had no idea you survived. She hadn't spoken to the Coven since she left, so we came up with a plan. I couldn't keep running with you; that wasn't a life your mother wanted you to have, so Ellie and Jon adopted you before moving back to Avalon. We decided it would be easier to hide you from them right under their noses. Besides, since your mother and Ellie were twins, no one questioned Ellie and assumed you were her biological daughter because you took after your mother. The Coven thought you were Ellie's and Jon's biological child. They had no reason to dig into it as they believed I was still on the run with you, and they knew Ellie was pregnant when she left the city."Av
Avalon City Chapter Twelve
Once they reached the university campus, Avery walked Becca to their dorm apartment with Aamon close on her heels. He didn't back away from Avery even when she grabbed a few things she would need while she spent time in Aamon's home. Then, once Avery and Becca shed a few tears and hugged out another goodbye, they promised each other that they wouldn't stay apart for long this time. Aamon never tried to rush Avery or act as if the girls didn't need their shared moment. About ten minutes after they had arrived, Aamon walked out of the university dorms with Avery, following close by. They got in their cars and drove back to the North side of the city. Parking in front of Aamon's apartment building, Avery noticed the valet she had met a couple of times; she handed her car keys to the valet, the same as Aamon did and nodded before the guy sat in her car and drove away. She hadn't noticed when Aamon took her bag from the car, and honestly, she was more than grateful that he did because A
Avalon City Chapter Thirteen
TWO WEEKS LATER…Avery had spent most of her time with Meredith, training and learning how to control both of her sides. She was eager to learn more about her full potential, but she knew it would take longer than the week and some days they had spent together. Meredith had been showing Avery different ways to use her powers and strengthen them, along with how to protect herself and those she loves if needed. During this time, the Coven witches had been randomly showing up at Avery's university, looking for her, and trying their best to get Avery to join them so she could merge her power with the Faewood Coven. Avery knew that Agatha and the rest of the Elders had nothing but selfish reasons when they kept asking for her to join them- the more powerful witches they had, the more powerful and influential the Coven would become. Who knew, the Coven Elders could go as far as to attack other Covens if they became stronger than they already were. Becca held her promise and called Avery
Avalon City Chapter Fourteen
Avery woke up around the middle of the night. The sitting room was dark; no one had bothered to switch on a lamp for her to navigate around if she were to wake up before sunrise. Rubbing the remnants of sleep from her eyes, Avery grunted at the slight ache in her back. She had slept on the couch, and the pain in her back was reminding Avery of an uncomfortable position in which she had spent the last couple of hours. She couldn't get rid of the weird sensation that made her feel as if her mind was awake, but her body refused to acknowledge the face. Before Avery attempted to force her body awake, she overheard Aamon and Meredith talking in hushed voices. Avery listened in, and soon she was sure that her godmother and the demon were arguing over something, so she decided to pretend she was asleep and listened in on their conversation. Whatever was the reason for their argument had to be a big thing, especially since those two weren't on the best terms, but they still tried to hide s
Avalon City Chapter Fifteen
The following morning, Avery woke up alone, missing the embrace of Aamon’s warmth she had managed to get used to and carved more than anything. At this point, she knew she had grown so addicted to him, it had to be unhealthy. The first thing Avery did was reach for her phone as the screen kept flashing. Aamon had probably brought it to her from the bedroom since Avery had a habit of calling her best friend every morning since she had practically moved in with Aamon. With her eyes squinted as she stared at the bright screen, she noticed she had five missed calls from Becca. With her hands shaking, Avery fumbled with her phone, quickly hitting redial, well aware that Becca wouldn't call multiple times unless she had a serious reason. Biting her bottom lip, Avery listened to the phone ring, but the call rang out and sent her straight to Becca’s voicemail. Her heart pounded against her ribcage- this had to be the first time since forever her best friend didn’t answer the call. Worried
Avalon City Chapter Sixteen
After the call with Agatha, Meredith asked Avery to give her a day, but since then, it’s been a whole week and still no updates or news.Becca had been locked away from everything she knew and loved for a week now, and Avery felt like she was failing her best friend and their bond. They had promised each other to look after one another since they were kids, yet once Becca truly needed her, Avery couldn’t reach her. Another day passed until Meredith finally showed up. She told Avery she had planned to merge her magic with Avery’s, but what she failed to mention earlier was that once their magic was merged, Avery would be left powerless. How was she supposed to protect and save her best friend if she couldn’t do as much as create a light mist for their cover? How would Avery fight a whole Coven of witches with her bare hands?Avery actually considered Meredith’s idea, but once she thought a little more about it, she came to a shocking realisation. That had to be Meredith’s plan all alo
Avalon City Chapter Seventeen
The Coven house wasn’t what most people would imagine to be a headquarters of a whole Coven of witches. It didn’t look like any prehistoric building like some TV shows suggested. No cobwebs and rodents; it wasn’t nearly as dark and eerie as people would expect. As a matter of fact, it was a fairly new building in perfect condition, and it always was so darn clean, Avery would have sworn someone had licked the floors to check there wasn’t a speck of dirt. The house itself was white, with a huge cul-de-sac driveway and a colossal cauldron fountain out the front in the middle of the driveway. The property was surrounded by trees, providing a perfect hideout and privacy from the human community. Avery remembered the greenhouses out at the back, which had to have the wildest varieties of herbs and plants in them, because they looked more like a tropical rainforest than typical greenhouses. She had always hated the Coven house, and now, Agatha gave her so many more reasons to hate the pl
