Learning the Craft
"Are you ready, Saffron?"
Saffy nodded at her granny, sitting on the sofa- well, she was sort of ready. Saffy could see right through her, but she was getting used to her being around the house. They'd had long conversations about Saffron's abilities, and amazingly Saffy was good at spells; she found it easy to make fire with her fingers. Though that spell was reasonably straightforward, and as Granny said, it was marvellous for lighting the BBQ. Now though, she was on a different track in making things move to her command. She had practised on her own to command things, but to no avail.
"I'm ready," she murmured.
"Take a breath, and relax. Now, see the ribbon in your mind, it's a perfect heavenly blue, and it brings you peace and a feeling of joy when you look at that colour. It seems to quiver with
Rosslyn ScottPoor Saffron, what has she let herself in for? Even worse, poor Marius. The second part of this chapter will be up later today. Thanks for reading. Rx

The Wolf Spinner Feeling Marius
The sun had gone down when Saffy drove towards Jack's house, and she was interested to see inside the beautiful home. She hadn't thought about Jack for a few days, she had been so busy getting to know her Granny and practising her spells, but she had looked on the bookshelves and found an old book concerning werewolves. It was a bit odd to read as the words kept disappearing, but Granny said to tell the book off - which Saffy thought would be neither use nor ornament, but then her world had turned into entirely crazy, so reprimanding a book seemed neither here nor there. She slammed the book shut and gave it what for. The whole idea made her chuckle, but she had never had a problem with the book since. Saffy found out that werewolves were dominant creatures, and Jack was gorgeous, very hot. She could flick her fingers and show him how hot she was. Though knowing her, poor Jack would probably end up in A&E with third-degree burns. Maybe she had better play
The Wolf Spinner Top of the Mountain
Silver slept with one eye open during the day on top of Clint's temporary grave. Jack didn't think anyone would bother them being so high up, and they were upwind of the building site and its offices so that no one would catch their scent.Just before dusk, Jack charged back, ready for when Clint woke up. His temper had better have damn well cooled, thought Jack. When Clint crawled out of the ground, he'd better explain all the drama of the previous night.The setting sun turned the sky to vermillion, the streaks of gold slowly vanished under the horizon, turning the last of the daylight purple, and then the deepest darkest blue, and speckled with starlight.Jack sat on a rock, watching the stars and the moon rising above the mountains. The wind rose, and the leaves on the scattered bushes rustled,
The Wolf Spinner The Journey
The wind screamed, and the rain drummed a heavy metal tune on top of the Landrover. It was making more noise than the classical music coming from the radio. The weather was frightening, Saffron Talbot wanted to be inside, warm in the cottage. This road didn’t even have streetlights, not that she would have been able to see them because of the branches of the trees bending so low. Saffron leaned forward, clutching the steering wheel. She looked at her phone stuck to the windscreen. Was Doris the Sat Nav sending her in the right direction? Doris had been quiet for the last few miles. Her phone screen was black, no internet, no 4G, no nothing.“Great.”The road was straight, no turn offs she could see in the next ten yards, her headlights illuminated. Saffron turned the radio up all she could do was carry on and hope that the tree roots were long and well established. She was humming along to Beethoven’s 7th Symphony when rig
The Wolf Spinner Jack and Silver
Jack Goldsmith squinted through his lashes and looked at the girl staring at him with wide blue eyes. She was gazing at his face and then her eyes widened even further as she looked at the rest of him, and her gaze turned into a scowl, and her skin turned the colour of pink summer roses. Bloody hell, women never scowled when they saw that part of his anatomy. Perhaps it was because he was as naked as the day he was born and lying on wet grass at the edge of the forest at ten o'clock on a wild, wet and windy night. She trembled over him, apologising that she had caught him with her Land Rover. Though, if he was honest, she hadn't knocked him over, but his wolf Silver.Jack checked in with Silver, who seemed to be fit, but the image he received was of the wolf with his paws over his eyes. It wasn't often he caught an apologetic stance from Silver. The car had just caught his back leg as he was belting
The Wolf Spinner The Past Emotions
Saffron looked out of the window and saw the man - he never even gave his name, and she was too upset to ask for it. It looked as if he was talking to someone. His hands were expressively waving around as he spoke. She couldn't see whom he was chatting to, but she imagined - knew it was her grandmother. She curled up on the sofa. There was something wrong, not that living with the ghost of your grandmother was in any way right, but Saffy had just realised that she couldn't feel him. Saffy wondered why she had not felt that man's emotions.Why? Had her empathic ability gone? Vanished in a puff of smoke, had her granny waved her magic wand?It was a relief if they had gone, for most of the time. Saffy wouldn't know how worried her married neighbour was over his girlfriend's pregnancy test or whether he could win his son's school fees back at
The Wolf Spinner 1640 AD
England 1640The heat was searing, and the flames rose above the trees. Jack's eyes stung from the smoke, or was that from crying?He hid behind the men who had set fire to his home. He had a god-given talent for spinning in the dust, which made him invisible so no one could see him. None of the villagers knew that the young man they had tried to kill was standing behind them. He'd come home late, and once he saw the flames, he knew that he couldn't save his father. Though his Puritan father probably wouldn't have thanked him if he had.These men would pay, starting with the ringleader. A brutal man who had forced marriage on the prettiest girl in the village, and that was something else he would be paying for. Jack had heard some of the men in the village talking, and he crouched b
The Wolf Spinner The Dream
When Saffron opened her eyes the following day, there was a scowl on her face. She closed her eyes again, wondering if she could go back to the dream she had just awoken from, and what a dream that was.Saffy never remembered her dreams, but there was no way she was going to forget this one. It had played out like a blockbuster film starring Superheroes. Jack Goldsmith and a whopping giant-sized silver-coloured dog. Not so much Wolverine, more like the overall champion dog at Crufts dog show. It was a silly dream as Jack, and the dog seemed to merge into one. The animal was rolling around on his back on the lawn."Oh my God!" Saffron screwed her eyes up as she remembered, "No, oh no!" She could never un-see. Jack Goldsmith full frontal- again. Fuuck! She covered her eyes as if that would prevent her from remembering his incredible body. Powerful muscul
The Wolf Spinner Meeting Silver
“Meet your wolf?” Saffy raised a brow, “Really? Have you left him in the car? You know you shouldn’t do that. Dogs can get very overheated if left in cars. Please tell me you at least left the window open?”Jack let out a sigh and grimaced, “Not in the car. He wouldn’t fit in there.”“Oh, you must have left him in the garden then,” Saffy got up and looked through the window, “I can’t see him,” she said. “Perhaps he’s gone to find his friend. You know that girl with the little red hood and her granny.” If this idiot thought she would meet his ‘wolf’, he had another think coming. Perhaps he was into cosplay. There must be a group in the village. She knew members of cosplay groups got into their characters.
