I sat down on a beach that overlooked the Temple. I didn’t know what to do. Yes, I was desperate to get my magic back, but my reason for it has changed since I met Mark. Now it was all about survival. I could not allow myself to mate with Mark until I got my magic back so that my body wouldn’t perish from the lack of it. There was no way I would send Mark to an early death. He meant too much to me.
I was lost in thought when suddenly an energy scooped me up and the next thing I knew, I was standing in the temple. Hecate in front of me. She had returned to her more known form. A woman with a black dress and black hair.
“So have you decided what you want to do?”
“I can never betray Mark like that.”
“You’re saying that y
Helplessness filled me as Mark bent over in pain again. Cassie sat next to him, trying to sooth him with no luck. Leah had sprung into action and was currently creating some sort of potion.I thought about the energy that I had given to Sky that woke her up from her sleep. I neared the sofa. Mark growled at me. A clear sign he did not want my help. I back away again. I wasn’t going to force Mark to do anything.“Here, get him to drink this,” Leah said as she handed Cassie a bottle. She carefully poured some into Mark’s mouth. A moment later, his body seemed to relax.I looked over and gave Leah a smile. It died on my face as Cassie let out a shriek and the sounds of bones popping filled the air.I rushed towards the sofa to grab Cassie away from h
My crying got interrupted as someone placed their hand on my shoulder. I turned around, the high priestess was standing in front of me.“I have directions from Hecate to show you to your room. You must be very special to her. Normally we don’t let any of the girls that work under us stay here.”She offered me her hand and pulled me up from the floor.“I hope they are happy tears. It is an honour to work with such a powerful goddess.”She walked away, and I followed her. We walked past the door that led down to the lower levels. She stopped halfway down the corridor and opened one of the doors.“This is your room. Studies have been dismissed for the day, but there will be dinner ready in an
The cat walked into the forest, past the cabin and further into the forest toward the wolf village. When we were roughly between my house and the village, he stopped and let out a meow. A moment later several wolves turned up. The Alpha turned to his human form, however the others remained in their wolf form.“I got told that you needed assistance, not sure by who, but here we are. Happy to help.”A smile appeared on my face, “Don’t you know not to believe voices you don’t know. You’ll never know whether it’s a friend or a foe leading you to your death.”“Very truth in deed,” the Alpha responded.The cat meowed, and the Alpha turned towards him.“Yes, ver
I’ve been sitting in my room for a few hours, studying, when suddenly I hear a door open and close. My concentration shattered, I put the book away and listened for more sounds. I hear a second door open and close, this time I could feel the wall vibrating. whoever is looking through the rooms is not being careful. I try to think of who it could be when my door springs open. In walks a big massive wolf.My first instinct is to run and I jump up from my chair, ready to use my magic to escape. I looked over at the wolf and glanced into his eyes. A moment later I was running towards him and putting my arms around him.“You came for me. I can’t believe you came for me.”Mark responded by licking my face. I was so happy. I burrowed my face into his fur.
The high priestess glared at me with hatred in her eyes.“Maybe once you were, but I’m the one that makes the decisions now and I will not let the temple be tainted by your presence.”“Then how about you fetch our friend and we’ll be on our way.”“Demons don’t have any friends.”“Well, he has us,” Cassie spat out and put a hand on my shoulder.“If you don’t let us in, we will use force to get inside.” Leah said.The high priestess laughed at our faces.“You may be a witch, but your magic is no match for me.”
We had made it halfway to the others when a voice rang out in the air. For a moment everything was dead silent, and then everyone started using their magic at once.Mark pushed me to the ground, I barely escaped the fire that had been coming towards us. I jumped up on Mark's back and he ran towards the others. Leah and Leaf had created a protective barrier. We disappeared behind it and Mark dropped me to the ground before his head was all over me, sniffing and licking.I moved his head away “I’m okay. I didn’t get hit.”It seemed to calm him down. I got up and looked around. It was complete mayhem, the air was filled with colourful blasts of fire and water. I didn’t want to hurt the other witches, they were innocent in all of this, having been brainwashed, and it looked like the rest of
I made it to the front and watched as Hecate and Freya fought each other. Freya stumbled, and I made my way over to help her up. As I turned around, I saw Cassie in the crowed. She was helping a witch that was lying on the floor.I looked up and met the high priestess’s gaze, an evil smile appearing on her face before she threw a dagger right at Cassie. My heart stopped as I sprinted over to Cassie, but I was too late. The dagger had already hit her heart, blood streaming down her body as she collapsed on the floor. I grabbed her in my arms, a scream leaving my lungs. I have nothing left to fight for. The demon inside me gets to the surface, and for once I am not fighting it. I don’t care if my demon side takes over and kills everyone. I’ve already lost Cassie. I slammed the high priestess into a wall, the walls shook and she collapsed on the floor. I hope she’s dead, she dese
I looked toward the stage, Jax stood there in all his demon glory. It was a terrifying view, but the sorrow and sincerity that radiated from Jax made him less scary.Several memories entered my head and showed me Katie’s and Jax's journey together.Jax was walking in a field. A girl in her late teens came into view. She looked sad. Jax asked her if she wanted to come and get a horse with him, and she nodded slightly. As they were walking, Jax told her jokes to cheer her up. As they reached the horse, she was smiling and laughing. The scene quickly changed to another. They were sitting in the field talking and laughing. It was easy to see that they were growing closer.The next scene that turned up in my head showed Jax proposing to Katie. It was so beautiful, I couldn’t help the tears that fell down my c
