Practical Magic Alice Hoffman Novels & Stories

“Okay.” “Neutralize the situation,” Alice commanded. A sinister smile erupted on her face as she pointed to Magnus. Magnus fell to his knees in pain. “Stop! What are you doing?” His pain made Alice’s eyes gleam. I put myself between her and Magnus. Frantically, I built a wall of energy to deflect her from affecting Magnus. As soon as Magnus was able to stand behind me, relief was immediate. A low snarl reverberated in his chest. He placed his hands on my shoulders protectively. Alice’s smile turned full of malice.

Willow asked while raising an eyebrow. "Ah… ehehehe…" Alice scratched her neck as if she caught her in the act. Afraid they might wake their other sisters, Alice held Willow’s hand and before Willow could react, she teleported them in the mountain where there was an abundance of spiritual energy yet too strong to control the force even if you have powerful magic. Alice found the place when she roamed around to find some ingredients for her experiments. She called it Magic Mountain. It was the third time Alice went there, and she was still struggling to control the force.

Alice said, “Maggie this is Frederick, the person in charge of Summer before. Frederick, I wanted to introduce you to my best friend Maggie Atlas, and she will be the chief designer.” “Hello, Miss Atlas.” “Oh, hello. You can call me Maggie.” After they had all talked, Alice asked Frederick to leave. She then took Maggie for a walk around the office building. Afterward, she asked, “Well, what do you think?” “Do you want to hear the truth?” “Of Course,” Alice said.

Everything else was draining her so she decided to give up on any other magic. “Alice, we are not safe here. We need to move now!” what she did not know was that behind the magic as powerful as it was used tonight there were always consequences and those closest to the place where magic was made usually paid the price, and right now there were only me and Alice and I was not comfortable with any of us paying the price.

“Good job princess.” I looked around seeing others walking into the woods. One man, a tall slim man dressed all in a black robe was burning something in the fire. The smell seemed to be white. I don’t know why white was the word that first came to me, maybe pure. I looked up at Nikko, “Is he a witch?” Nikko looked down at me, “a warlock maybe. I don’t think he would take kindly to you calling him a witch.” He arched his brow, “why Samantha are you a witch?”

Alice shook her head in answer. "Stop this family drama." Alice heard Dave. She turned around and saw Dave grabbing her mother's jaw. "I will kill her." He said. Alice almost forgot her mother was tied there. Her mother opened her eyes and all her relatives also came back to their senses. "How can they wake up?" Dave asked his witches. Fancy replied, "The moment Alpha growled, every spell unbounded by it. He broke all the spells with his growl." Dave nodded as if he did not care.

Alice POV Sometimes your own fate plays a trick on you, gives you false hope, shows a beautiful illusion of a perfect picture called life. Promising future. Fairy tales become true and then...... Whoop! The spell broke and so is your heart. Exactly what happened to me. *** I, Alice Michaelson, the most powerful hybrid in the entire realm. Fucking queen of werewolves and Lycans’ realm, Entalia. But At this moment — I’m nothing. Nothing in front of him. Him- Devil. My personal devil from hell.

If I was going to move forward with obtaining equality for female werewolves, Alice seemed like a great ally to have. “So you know the fairytale about the Midnight Child?” Alice gave me a slow nod with confusion covering her face. “Well, I'm not a fairytale but I guess that’s me. I've been living as a human and didn’t know about any of this until a week ago.” “Wow, wasn’t expecting that.” She said before starting to laugh. “You mean Kent really found his dream girl. Go figure.” “Oh, one more thing. Turns out I'm like part Goddess and I guess I can do magic.” At this Alice's jaw dropped. “And I guess Alpha Eli is capable of finding me now so I’m here hiding.”

One can hope. “Impressive, Alpha Allison.” I applaud her, but she doesn’t answer, so I get on with what I am here for. Ophelia can’t keep Bane away forever, and at some point Caitlyn is going to notice I didn’t jump when she told me to. “A warning for now little doves. The magic should not be so noticeable when you are not supposed to have it at all. Just saying. Clever to have it cover the door so no sound leaves. Stupid to get caught already.” Tabatha snorts, while Talia grits her teeth.

Like now, with Alice butchering supernatural terminology while ignoring actual parent words. "You're a terrible influence," Sarah teased, rescuing her daughter from Luna's grasp. "Teaching babies about defensive magic." "I didn't teach her! She just absorbed it through proximity!" Luna protested. "I'm very careful about age-appropriate content in my classes." "Uh-huh. Which is why a seven-month-old's second word is a magical term." Sarah kissed Alice's head. "You're lucky she's adorable." Alice chose that moment to create a tiny flicker of energy around her fist. Not a shield, barely even visible, but definitely supernatural.
