Saga started walking down the beach and every now and then she would stop and look over at the cluster of trees. It broke my heart to watch her and when I caught up to her, she started talking and I listened. She had really thought this through and she had been busy with a plan of her own for the last three months. Her plan also scared the shit out of me.

“We have to do something, Kai,” she said and her eyes seemed to plead with mine.

“I know, Sis, but luring them out to the forest and killing them? That’s murder. How are you planning to kill them once you have them here?” I asked her.

“Dad has journals, death spells…” Her voice trailed off and my eyes widened.

“No way! You know what happens when you do that! He almost died using death magic!” I said to her.

We both grew up hearing the stories of the twelve witches that came to Seward to kill him, his time in Helheim and the physical pain you feel when you use that type of magic. Kiran had closed off that part of his life and he had never again used death magic, promising our mother that he would never teach it to us.

“Then you kill them as a wolf!” she said emotionally.

She had started her club at school, using an interview as cover as she entranced one girl after the other and delved into their memories. She found five more girls at our school that had been raped by Greg and his friends. Their two friends, Steven and Mike, were still out there.

At first, the search for Greg, Kyle and Pete took the town by storm and their pictures were posted everywhere. They were last seen at our birthday party and Malachi had handed in our statements and told them that we didn’t know anything. Everyone had been questioned, and according to them, everyone had started to leave by two a.m. Most of them didn’t remember if we had left with them or not because most had been too drunk to remember.

As the months passed by, the search slowed down. They were still looking for them and they were still listed as missing but most people thought they had run away. I didn’t really feel bad for anyone, not their families or their friends. They deserved to die and I wondered sometimes if that made me a bad person.

“If you don’t want to help me, I understand, but they have to die. They’ll never stop doing what they’ve been doing because it’s been too easy for them. How many more girls have to go through this, Kai? What if it was Kari next on their target list?” My head snapped up toward hers as she said Kari’s name.

“That’s not fair,” I said. I already suffered through my own guilt every single day that I looked at her. “Let me just think because nobody can know about this.”

Saga bit her lip and looked down briefly. “I did a seance.” 

White hot anger shot through me and I glared at her. “Why would you do that?” I was yelling now and she got that Kiran look in her eyes.

“Because two years ago a girl killed herself after she was raped in Sterling…by them!” She yelled back and I looked down. Shit. This was just getting worse and worse. “I made a deal with her that they would die.”

“You know you can’t make deals with the dead! They always want more and more,” I said to her.

“I have to do something or I’ll scream or stop breathing or something!” she said defiantly. “The fact that they still walk around at school and I see them every day, knowing what they’ve done and will do again…it’s sickening!”

“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” I asked her angrily. All this time they’ve been sitting at our lunch table and now I know why Saga didn’t eat in the cafeteria anymore. It deflated all my anger instantly knowing that her trauma never really stopped. She was staring at it every day and I’d been oblivious, again.

“Because I wanted to know for sure that it was Mike and Steve,” she said softly.

I pulled her against me and hugged her tightly. “Okay, just don’t do anything stupid, until we at least have a better plan.”

“You’re the best, Kai,” she said.

We stood on the beach for a long time while I held her. I knew we had to go home at some point but Saga and I had reached a pivotal point in our relationship. I drove us home and Kiran shook his head when Saga walked in with me.

“Helping your sister skip school?” he asked me with a smile.

“Love you too, Daddy,” Saga said and went upstairs as Kiran smiled and looked down at this phone.

“Your mother’s on her way,” Kiran said and seconds later I heard her car in the garage. Great.

Adara walked into the house and glared at me as Kiran picked up the newspaper and hid behind it. “Kai Gabriel Sinclair!” Kiran chuckled and Adara turned toward him. “I see you, Kiran! This isn’t funny anymore! Bubble wrap and confetti? And you put his house on sale and the superglue?” Her anger rolled off her in waves and Kiran nudged his head in the direction of the stairs. I grabbed my bag and walked up the stairs just as they started talking again.

“Give him some credit, listing Rush’s house for sale was kind of genius,” Kiran said and I smiled.

“And the superglue?” she asked him.

“That wasn’t him,” Kiran said and I wondered how he knew that I really hadn’t done that.

“You didn’t!” Adara said loudly and Kiran started to laugh. “It’s time for him to grow up, Kiran, and you’re not helping when you pull the same stunts.”

“I know. You’re right. I’ll talk to him,” Kiran said and my heart sank. This would not end well. When Kiran spoke in that tone of voice, his Alpha voice, everybody listened, including me.

    The girl stood behind me and she started whispering in my ear. “Ed’s been a bad boy. You should teach him a lesson.” I ignored her but I looked over at Ed. “He’s been looking at Tala. In a few moments he’ll walk over to her table and put his arm around her shoulders. You never know, Kai, he was friends with Greg.”I felt ice cold as she disappeared. I kept looking at Ed and I shivered when he stood up and walked over to Tala’s table. She could kick his ass without a doubt, but at school we were all different. Ed sat down next to her and before I knew it, I was on my feet and making my way toward them. The girl was still in my head, whispering things to me, things Ed wanted to do to Tala.I didn’t say a word as I came up behind Ed and I grabbed him and pulled him off his seat as everyone watched us. “Get away from her!” I started punching him as he held his arms over his face and it was like Kyle all over again. I couldn’t stop even though I knew he was bleeding and that I was really h

  • Mist   Part 12

    The bell rang and I was out of the classroom first. I needed to breathe and everything around me felt too surreal, like I was trapped in a daze. I leaned against the wall and Paul stopped next to me and looked questioningly at me.“How the hell are you not expelled after yesterday?” he asked me.“I have no idea. Maybe he’s waiting for me to do something really serious,” I said sarcastically and Paul laughed as he shook his head and headed to our next class.Students walked out of the classroom and finally Kari came out with Gunnar. I took her hand and started walking to our next class, knowing that Gunnar would wait for Saga. He always waited for her and walked behind her to whichever class she had next.“Why didn’t you text me back?” Kari asked me.“I fell asleep and my phone really was on silent,” I said.“What’s happening to me? I would never try to kill myself,” Kari whispered to me.“You’re going to be fine,” I said and kissed the top of her head. We took our seats in English cl

    I refrained from slamming my bedroom door closed, even though I badly wanted to do it. I closed it softly and turned to look at the girl. “Why Kari?”“I warned you,” she said to me. “Every action has consequences.”“What do you want from me? They’re dead!” I said angrily.“I want you, Kai,” she said in a chilling voice.“What are you talking about?” I was confused now. She’d gotten what she wanted.“You belong to me, you owe me. You didn’t play by the rules, now I’ll take it from you,” she said.“For what? They paid for what they did, you wanted them dead and now they are,” I said.“Kari’s alive. I waited until I knew you were close enough. Today was just a warning, next time she won’t be so lucky,” the girl said and smiled. “Unless you agree then Kari will live.”“Fine, I agree,” I said. She took my hand and I looked down at it as the skin on the palm of my hand tore open and she placed her own hand over the wound. “This is your blood oath. You belong to me now, until you’ve paid ba

    We were sitting in class but I barely heard a word Mr. Jones was saying. I was lost in my own world, thinking about what to do with my life. Adara had made it clear that she wasn’t happy and that I would go to college, come hell or high water.Gunnar was bent over his desk, his phone on his lap and mine vibrated in my pocket. I took it out and opened my text messages.Gunnar: The nurse just sent Kari home. She says she’s not feeling well.I nodded my head but I didn’t reply. Kari had been acting very differently toward me the last few weeks. I had no idea why and to top it all off, she was ignoring my calls and texts. Saga turned to look at me questioningly and I shrugged and forwarded the message to her. She nodded her head as well, as Mr. Jones continued to ramble on in front of the board.Kari had been there for me when I struggled with my guilt over what happened to Saga, but the difference was that I talked to her. She was pushing me out and I was getting pissed off with her beha

  • Mist   Part 9

    I waited in the dark parking lot of our school for ten minutes before I saw the headlights that turned toward me. Steve and Mike climbed out of a truck and walked to where I was leaning against my Jeep. They were too relaxed to suspect anything.“Hey, man, this is going to be awesome,” Mike said and blew on his hands and put them under his arms against the cold.I smiled as I looked at them and lifted my hands. “I command from the gods, the righteous path to unfold. Rjóðr eldr.” The red flames formed in my hands and it glowed eerily in the dark.“What the…” Steve started to say and they backed away from me.“Gjalda! Ganga við,” I said as I looked at them and the flames disappeared.They seemed to be in a trance as they walked back to the truck and got in. I got into the Jeep and followed them as they drove off. Steve parked the truck in front of the police station and they both got out. I smiled. I had cast a spell for them to confess their crimes and atone for what they had done.I d

    I shrugged and headed to my bedroom. There was a girl sitting on my bed and she watched me as I put my bag down next to my desk. She had deep purple marks around her neck and her eyes followed me as I moved around. She had probably hung herself.“What do you want?” I asked her.“She promised me that they would die,” she said and I turned to look at her.“I can’t let her keep that promise, it’s wrong,” I said and she stood up. Her face was inches from mine and I could smell the decay on her.“Then she’ll pay,” the girl said.“I can promise you that they’ll pay for what they did,” I said.“If you don’t keep this promise to my satisfaction, I’ll make you pay,” she said and pushed me up against the wall with her hand around my throat. She was strong and angry, her eyes were empty hollows of darkness, malicious and evil. She was gone in an instant and I stood against the wall and took a deep breath.Sometimes spirits want something from you and when they don’t get it, they get angry. What
