Holidays are over and we're starting once more with our normal human curriculum, having witch lessons now only during the weekends.It's going to be even more stressful because not only do I have to get good grades at geometry, I also have to worry about the sacred geometry we study for the witchy curriculum. Double work. I sigh in bed as I stare at the ceiling. During the rest of the holiday Kali and my mom helped me a whole lot, training me to keep my dark magic concealed and not let it take over me. I almost lost control one time when we were practicing a fire enhancing spell. My mom, as usual got paranoid and proposed we try and keep the black magic locked away in another box. But we all know how that went down last time. As much as I'm in control now, I still feel this great desire to keep the magic with me, to protect it from anyone who would want to take it away. She was able to do a cloaking spell on me though. She said it's r
The teacher is explaining something about Lewis structures when I feel someone poke my arm. What does he want now? I decide to ignore him not wanting the teacher to catch us both and give us detention. "Pssstt, Layla.." He says as he keeps poking my arm. I snap my head around and give him a pissed look. "Can you be quiet?" He sticks out his lower lip and pouts at me giving me puppy dog eyes. What is is problem? I stare at him and spin my head back around. He stops bugging me for a few seconds when I feel a piece of paper appear in my hands. We're not supposed to use magic during our human courses. Is he crazy?? I smoothen open the crumpled piece of paper curious to see what's it in. "You're beautiful and you're distracting me Layla.." I smile at the note and hide it carefully so the teacher doesn't see me being distracted. The door opens up and the principal walks in with a boy I've never seen
~~Eren's POV~~I have to go to a new school now because of what happened. Mom and dad think it should be a witch academy so we move to the closest city with one. They want us to stay under the radar for a while. The principal leads me into classroom with a few students in it. "Everyone, this is Eren Crow. He just moved here from a different city with his parents after a tragedy befell their coven. Him and his family are the only surviving members and they moved here. He's a new student at the academy now and him and his family will be assigned to one of our covens soon enough. Please everyone, make him feel at home.." He introduces me and exits the classroom. I walk over to the first empty seat I find and make myself comfortable. As soon as I take a seat, I feel her and I snap my head in hear direction. Black magic. I see her staring at me already and I quickly look away. What is a girl with black magic d
"Did you hear about the new student that transferred to our school mom?" Mom and I are having dinner and she made my favorite. I love this woman. "Oh yes I did, Eren Crow right? What an awful thing that happened to their coven. The poor thing.." My mom says with a sad shake of her head. "You don't think something is not adding up? Witch hunters haven't been heard of in a while, and they never leave survivors. They're not careless like that, so why are they alive?" I ask my mom while playing with my food. "Maybe they just got lucky.. Witch hunters haven't been heard for a while, yes, but there are still a few lurking around.." "But still, we should investigate them. Make sure we can trust them first.. " I defend "Layla, they just lost their coven. They're devastated right now. Plus if something was off, I would have felt it by now." My mom adds."Would you have? When I was close to him, I couldn't literally fee
"I think I'm going to dye my hair white..." I say to Kali as I take my physics text book out of my locker. Physics is the first class we have today with Professor Philips. He's scary and I hate physics, makes me think too much. I always thought it was cool how his name rhymed with Physics though."Not that I wouldn't like it, I think you'll rock white hair. But any particular reason?" He asks while playing with a strand of my hair. "Not really.. I just thought of it now and I can't stop thinking about how hot I'll look with white hair. I'm going to cut it short too, shoulder length..." "Pretty ironic if you ask me.." Kali says with a smirk. "A witch with black magic having white hair. Kinda ruins the whole aesthetic don't you think.." He chuckles playfully. "Shut up.." I say nudging his arm playfully. "And don't say that out loud. Someone might hear you!" "Someone might hear what?" A voice says from behind me and I turn
"Try again." My mom motivates me as I try to make the water in my half-filled glass grow. "It's not working mom." I say to her with a defeated sigh. "You just have to keep trying. Focus and steady your breathing. Feel the water, be the water, clear your mind, decide you want it to grow and it will obey you." She explains. I try to clear all roaming thoughts and instead fill my mind with thoughts of water, I think of ocean waves, and tsunamis, and pouring rain, I steady my breathing and imagine the glass overflowing with water. I open my eyes and gaze at the glass and a pool of water erupts from it. Suddenly, water is everywhere. I'm in a trance which I can't seem to stop. The water is pooling out of the glass aggressively, in abundant amounts and now the entire kitchen is almost filled with water. But I don't want to stop. I don't feel like I need to stop. It's almost like my powers have a mind of their own now and they're fighting to break free, but I don't want to control them.
Kali and I walk out of the house and make our way over to his car. It's a big black pick up truck his dad gave to him on his eighteenth birthday.I remember the look of joy and excitement Kali had plastered on his face when his dad handed him the keys to the truck. Kali has always wanted to own a truck and he was filled with happiness when his dad made that dream come true last year. "Ready?" He asks me as he opens the passenger's seat for me. I nod and he kisses my forehead and waits for me to get in before closing the door and heading over to the driver's seat. Once we're inside, he offers me a light kiss on the lips. "I've missed you." He says. "You saw me two days ago." I state. "So..?" He asks with a smirk. I just smile and shake my head as he bends the key and the car engine roars with life. It's a thirty minute ride from my house to our favourite spot and I can't wait for us to get there. I haven't eaten all day and my intestines are wrapping around each other begging
We grab all our things and arrange them in Kali's truck. He starts the car and we start riding back home."We should jump off the cliff one day.." Kali suddenly utters. "Do you have a death wish? It's too high and there could be rocks down there." I object. "We'll do a protection spell before jumping?" He offers. "No way. I'm not doing that." "You're no fun." He pouts. I roll down the window to the passenger's seat and stick my head outside letting the cool air hit my face and hair. This is bliss, I love car rides and I never want us to reach home. The car ride doesn't last as long as I wanted it to and that makes me sad. Now I have to say goodbye to Kali. "Let's go back." I tell him once we're out of his car and on my front porch. "Babe, it's late. And you have to rest. How about we go out for your favourite ice cream tomorrow?" He asks while hugging me. "That sounds nice." He kisses me goodbye and I watch him get into his car. He starts the engine and drives away. I miss h
