*Luca*
"Luca ?" My mother’s stunned voice sounds and her head pokes out from the kitchen as I kick my shoes off in the hallway.
"Hi Mom". Judging from her attitude, she had already incited herself to a round of motherly concern. I smile strained not to make her further tense.
"What are you doing here ?" it sounds from inside the living room. My father had probably smelled me already before I opened the door.
"I have something important to tell". I reply . “Do you have time ? Is Andreas at home ? ”
"In da house"l my little brother's voice cut through a nauseating rhythm of hip hop.

*Luca*"Hey, can I crash with you for a few days ?""What's wrong with your own place ?" Martin leans up against the doorframe."Long story". The image of Soleil's smiling beautiful face flickers in my mind until the black - eyed satan self satisfied face, like a shadow slides in front of her golden locks. I can not suppress the wolf's low-pitched growl."Hey, where's it burning ?" Martin shifts his watchful gaze down the stairwell."There is no one. Can I come in ?”Martin moves from the door to answer and lets me into the apartment.&n
*Soleil*First day of school, post two monster ex-boyfriends.I do not know what to expect. It is fairly clear that Lefu would not show up even if he against expectation has not left for Italy anyway. I send a silent grateful thought to Tjalfe, who despite the ban against interfering has provided cloudless skies. Then there is only Luca left. With the expression he had when he stormed out of the house, I am not fully convinced whether he can rein in the wolf. Should he go crazy at school, I will have no choice but to kill him. In my quiet mind, I hope he just wants tostay away.During the meal break, I find the usual table assigned to the outcasts. I dump down on a vacant chair and lay down, exhausted, ac
*Soleil*It is finally Friday. Although Luca, as promised, has stayed away, the whole week has been unbearable. It is only in the canteen, I am forced to stare at him. He mingles with the Elite again, and it is unbearable to see Julie twist herself around him. Even when I flee outside to eat in peace, I don't have time off from him. His essence torments me with fervent rushes of his feelings and what we had together. The only consolation when the raw and intense love wafts through my body, is that he at least will feel the essence from me too.When it gets worse, I force my thoughts over on the weekend's trip to Scotland. The big meeting for all witches throughout the world has been arranged. I remember the trip me and Siri had taken with fly ointment when I was to meet Tjalfe for the first time, and I look forward
*Soleil*A familiar humming sound meets me as I get out of Gudrun's car. It got dark as we drove up through Central Britain. But even at night, the forest and its creatures are awake and welcome me with their own voice.I take a deep breath and let the ambiance propagate all the way into my soul. Finally I feel peace. Life at home leaves my consciousness with each breath, and every new breath of the fresh cool night air fills me with a bubbling happiness.I spin around and laugh, feeling liberated."Will it be okay if I go for a jog ?""It's all right, dear". Siri replies. "We have no duties tonight anyway".
*Soleil* "Hil Odin !" Gudrun shouts as she throws the white herbs on the fire. A thick cloud rises into the air, and the smell of hemp and juniper spreads over the sejdhjal. After I had learned to mix Shakespeare's witches brew from the original recipe, I have further added new fragrant plants. It is an addition that Siri's elders had played around with too, for, as she says, the fumes would attract any wolves within a distance of ten miles. Hemp has the slightest euphoria effect which led to the transcendence to come to us faster. Siri had said that it is her contribution to the mix, and with a secretive smile suggested that her youth in the happy 60s had apparently been
*Soleil*I turn, surprised to hear my sister's thoughts. Normally, only Siri is in telepathic connection with each of us.'It's the flying ointment that makes it possible’. Gudrun smiles eloquently.I return the embarrassed smile. 'Are they just coming here ?'In response, a chorus of whispering voices flickers through my consciousness, and I get the feeling that we are no longer alone in the stone circle.'Greetings, sisters!' Siri takes a step forward.I scout out into the night. The stars and the moon shine brightly, so that nothing can hide behind
*Lefu* "I'm confused”. Matelli takes a sip of his wine and gaze out over the fields. I roll my eyes and groan. How long can the old man drag this meeting out ? "Do you have somewhere else you need to be, my boy ?" The leader of the clan turns his attention to me. “I should think you would appreciate a good wine before going to the Council". I shrug and sip the Barolo. "If you're going to throw me before the Council, why are we sitting here ?" “That's where I'm confused. I doubt it will benefit you to hear why your crime is so serious. But
Warning: Kinky and a bit hard sex*Lefu*The women steps in under the direction of Matelli. He is an attractive man, even I can recognize that. Even though he is heading towards his thousand year, he still looks like a 30-year-old. His brown eyes and Italian charm quickly seduces the women and they relax in his company.I am not in the mood for conversation. So I head towards the bar and pour myself a Scotch."Signor Matelli said I should go over to you". A woman's voice sounds behind me. I empty the glass in another mouthful and grind my teeth. The nerves whine in the mouth under the bare gums.The spell, which keeps my true traits hidden behind
