The darkness-enshrouded witch took her time before answering. Darkness enshrouded because I couldn’t see any clothing material on the figure floating in the air a couple of feet away from us. Only darkness. Pulsing darkness from her head to toe—bodily features I couldn’t even see. The darkness formed a cloak around her, even making a hood over her head and boots around her legs. You just couldn’t see any of her bodily features, not even her eyes. From our perspective, she was looking at the floor, if the inclination of the hood was any indication, but I knew she was staring right at me.I was tempted to take my phone from my pocket and check the time, but I was slightly afraid that a single movement might alter this moment. I could always check the time later. Hopefully, Laura and Peter wouldn’t have my head when I finally came back with Diana.“Are you not going to speak?” This time it was Raul who spoke. I was not sure what gave him the confidence since I could still smell his s

By the time I was done narrating the episode of my encounter with the strange witch in the forest, my adoptive parents were sure it was anything but a joke; if the looks on their faces were anything to go by. “It’s not a joke!” Laura stated vehemently. Well, there went my suggestion of it being a joke. “And can’t you see? It’s what we have been telling you… to stay away from those twins and their wicked family?” She continued, her hands clasped while her feet tapped on the floor.Diana and I exhaled at the same time. We had seen this coming. “Mother, is there really a way to avoid them? In case you’ve forgotten, I take classes with the Queen. Exposing her pettiness to the people hadn’t been enough to stop it; if anything, she was tasked to take care of me adequately in case I’m the next in line for the throne…” A pause, where I swallowed the bitter pill; I didn’t think I would ever get used to the idea of being next in line to the throne just because I had white hair. For all the

There were no others. Another bloody setup, this was, I thought, folding my arms across my chest, glaring at Adam. "What is this?"Only fire burned out of the wood—a tiny flicker that couldn't even pass for a bonfire—in the middle of a cleared-out area, which was in the middle of a grassland. I wouldn't be surprised if it was made possible tonight with the use of magic. It was just too perfect a circle.This wasn't good. I declared again. The fewer the people, the less chance of me escaping without being seen. What to do? I hissed and turned away from him, when I got no response, toward the path where we had followed to this place, but Naomi's hands found me then, wrapping themselves around my waist. "Please stay," She whispered, not that her words were any secret to those werewolfish ears around us.For her, I stayed. Not without letting out a curse, though, to make sure they were aware that I hated the bullshit—the audacity of them all to call me into this gathering.It better be w

"Adam is approaching us." Naomi giggled as she spoke, a testament to her drunken state.Levina was worse off, pointing at Adam and laughing like one whose brain nuts had been unscrewed. "I think he will prefer you to be the princess, rather than Rachel…" She placed her index finger on her lips. "Sheesh. Don't tell Rachel…" I shook my head, and took a sip from the drink in my cup, one out of seven. I was counting, since it wasn't in my plans to be drunk like the fellows around me. The bonfire had been lit as I expected, with everyone and no one talking. There had been horror stories told at one point, with Sinclair clutching the prize of storytelling. Even the triplets had enjoyed the gathering, if the smiles on their faces had been any indicator. Sadly, they weren't drunk. Not for want of the booze being weak. No, Sinclair had kept his word to the 'magic angel'.It's just that, like me, they had minimized their intake of the drink after the first few sips informed them of the streng

I was lost. I finally accepted it after running in circles for the fifth time, arriving at the same spot.I had marked the long tree—because that seemed to be the best adjective for the tallest tree I’ve seen in my life—after the second attempt had landed me right at its feet. What am I getting wrong?I looked around the dark forest--which once would have drowned me in fear, but now seemed mysterious to me--and I wondered where I had gone wrong.I had followed the area Rachel and her brother had led us through hours ago. I had stopped at the landmarks I saw then, so why wasn’t I seeing a wall? Why weren’t I seeing the caves? Was I missing something? Was it because I came from a party? Was there some code to this thing? ‘El, you gotta help me. What do I do?’ ‘You want me to locate the secret library?’ I rolled my eyes. ‘Of course. Can you do that?’ Please, know how to do that. For someone or something capable of much magic, surely locating a simple library was no task. I
