Faith and the three fates. Chapter 22
The water is cool and refreshing on my skin when I resurface from the jump I’m met with Atticus splashing me. I splash him back before our playful game is interrupted by Destin jumping into the water doing a Bombie between me and atticus. When he resurfaces he flicks his wet hair at me. The rest of the guys are at the other end of the rock pool and call Destin over for a bombie competition. Destin gives me a knowing look before he swims off. “So tell me faith I heard the news whirling around the coven and I’m intrigued how does a wolf such as yourself know enough about magic to reverse the effect of a new blood it’s pretty admirable” “Well nice to hear in the talk of the coven I thought gossip was more up the elves alley. But to answer your question a lot of training and education from a young age not just in shifter education but the other four supernatural fractions along with the ability to follow one’s intuition” Atticus is easy to talk to and get along with he seems pretty chi

The healers come rushing into the high priestess’s room with a few of the magic elders. I hold her hand the entire time stroking her hair at one point she places something in my hand but I do not peel my eyes off her to look what it is. the healers try traditional and western medics the bring her life force back but it’s all done in vain. She is gone my would be mentor leader of the midnight coven and friend to many lays lifeless on the floor it brings very little comfort knowing I was there to help her pass into the beyond. The tears start to pour and I can not stop them I look into my hand to find she placed a key in my hand I have no idea what the key is for but hopefully one of the elders do. We sit in silence for a while before one of the elders clears his throat. “We must prepare the ritual to have Delilah sworn in as high priestess immediately. We shall announce to the coven the significant loss of the high priestess and allow them to come with blessings before we send her off

Delilah has now come from the ritual and has come to bless the deceased. I’m still in shock that Atticus’s life had been cut short and everything after speaking to his mother was a blur. The pyres are lit and everyone starts to head off when Delilah announces a coven meeting in the main hall in a hour. Delilah walks in step with me thanking me for all my assistance she then asks me to follow her back to the high priestess’s cottage. We walk into the ritual room the pentacle laid in the middle with the elements on each star point there’s a table with feathers, water, animal bones, sand, ashes and all sorts of crystals spread among it. She asks for the key I told no one about so I presume I can trust her judgement. She knocks on the table three times then pulls it forward and lifts up an alter cloth that decorated the wall. She puts the key in and turns it in the lock and it soon opens. She clears the contents and sets them down on the dining table before wandering back into the ritual

Even though it has been a big day and long journey the midnight crescent swears in each member of the midnight coven who have now taken the name midnight crescent coven it seemed fitting then everyone was shown to their rooms. Unsurprisingly Marlene is also sworn in as a midnight crescent coven and pack member she already has been set up in a suite in the pack house but now she has a coven she wants to live amongst them and takes the last remaining cottage for her and Sophia when she awakens. It’s well past midnight when I take a shower and get into bed it isn’t long before the twins arrive together and with out a word get on either side of me in the bed knowing I don’t need their words just their company. That is until Destin farts and Dutch ovens me and for the first time in what seems like forever I laugh at his gross boyish antics. They both wrap an arm around me and I drift off to sleep. I feel like I’m in a deep sleep I’m not dreaming suddenly I feel prickles on my skin and the

I wake up the next morning to an empty bed I look at the clock on the bedside table and spring out of bed when I see it’s eleven in the morning usually it’s a six am start for me working out then study or school. I walk to the shower feeling a little swollen down stairs then imagines of last night rendezvous I smile at what the twins and I got up to but start to feel alone and used considering not one of them stayed with me until I woke up. Now I’m angry sad and decide to get dressed and head to the hospital to check in with Sophia before going down to the coven to make sure everyone including Delilah and Atticus’s family are settling in well. I finish up in the shower and decide to wear a red crop top my leather jacket and some high wasted black jeans with a pair of timberlands I throw my hair up into a messy bun add a touch of fire engine red lipstick. I take my phone before I leave the room when I look on the screen I have a heap of txts and missed calls from both Destin and Colton

I make my way over to Delilah as I’m coming the elders are leaving. I let myself in and call out to Delilah I throw myself on her lounge and she walks in and does the same. “How are you holding up and I’m not asking you as the high priestess but I’m asking as your friend how is Delilah holding up it’s been an intense 48 hours” She lets out a sigh and looks up at the ceiling. “It’s hard work but I’m coping I’ve trained my whole life for this moment yet I feel so unprepared. Add a move and grief into the mix im feeling a little flat” she perks up a little and looks at me “But you my girl are glowing” she sends me a wink and I feel my face redden she knows I wonder if she know with whom. “New moisturiser” I laugh and she laughs with me. “Keep your secrets if you don’t want to kiss and tell that’s fine but I have other ways to find these things out.” “Dont you dare want to take twenty minutes time out and go to the base for a while I haven’t been there in a while and all that’s hap

Delilah povI can see faith struggling she has had an eventful week she wears her strength well but I can tell she is feeling it all hit her like a freight train. She’s just moving her food around her plate and she doesn’t have her usual oomph not even the twins can bring her out of her funk which is odd. She leaves dinner early and doesn’t stay for the traditional f5 family games after dinner I can see the twins clearly want to go to her but can’t ditch everyone like faith did. Family games run until about 11 before everyone dispersed and went to bed. At about 12 I had a set of frantic knocks on the door. I unlock the door to answer but before I could open the door Colton and Destin push in through the door and barge into the house they walk around the house “is she here is she here Delilah” “Well hello to you too boof heads! Is who here why are you too here is the question” in unison they both answer “FAITH” Colton is more erratic than Destin pacing biting his nails. “She’s not i

I don’t know where I’m going to go I’m just running to put as much distance between myself and the pack. I need to stop for a minute to clear my head and work out an actual plan I’ve been gone now for about 2 hours so I should have put enough distance between myself and the pack. I’m so emotional I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders I shift back to my human form and find a hollowed out log to rest in if I put clothes on I would only have to take them off again and the plan is to rest for a few minutes make a plan of a attack and go from there. I have packed away some money but have little experience in the human towns where I plan to hid I don’t know how long my money will last in the human town but for now I need to think about food and shelter they are my main priorities. I could stay in a motel find a job and get an apartment in the long run I have enough money to last at least a month if I really skim down on the basics. It doesn’t take long for my intrusive thoughts to
