“Oh, I didn’t realize…” I trailed off, staring at the door. “We don’t have to go in there.” “No, it’s fine.” Nolan replied, his voice deeper than usual. “It’s not the only thing I have to face, right?” I laced my fingers with his and nudged open the door, flicking the lights on as we…

“No.” I hissed, hackles raising at the thought of leaving Rowena alive and breathing, not a single repercussion for what she’d done. Zeke didn’t understand. How could he? It wasn’t his brother, someone he grew up with, someone he both loved and hated on the best and worst days. No, I wouldn’t- couldn’t leave. My…

“Is something funny, Rowena?” I cocked an eyebrow, towering over her. “Do you know why Zeke’s suddenly able to be in two places at once?” “Should I, Daisy?” She purred, staring up at me through her lashes. A single thought was all it took to coax the shadows holding her in place to tighten, digging…

Sensations battered me left and right. Sounds and colors were duller, not as vibrant as what I was used to. The sheer cold of the air against my skin was numbing, carving through the flowing skirt and buttoned blouse I wore. A single emotion was all I could snag, and it filled every crevice of…

My body began to tire at an unnatural rate, even for a human. Muscles began to seize, and joints ached, the pain turning my bones to lead until my body refused to respond. The ground rose up to meet me, invisible claws yanking me down as I fell. The impact knocked the air from my…

This time around, there weren’t any cloaked witches creeping out of the forest, but that didn’t mean I let my guard down. Keeping just a few feet inside the forest, I followed the shoulder of the main road until the dark outlines of buildings began to pop into view. As I pressed forward, the streetlamps…
