The Witch, The Werewolf, and The Vampire

When you're a witch things aren't ever easy. One wrong move and you get sucked into a portal. The next you face off with a vampire when all you needed was a tiny bit of blood to finish off a potion. Life is nothing like the media likes to make you believe.

I mean yes there is such a thing as magic, but not like OOOH sparkly physically seeing a spell go to work. Most things take time and patience for it to really take affect. There are also many other things that the media wants you to believe about us mystical creatures. Werewolves are jerks and only know how to kill. Vampires are beasts that will tear you limb from limb without a second thought. Witches will hex, curse, and sacrifice living beings all for power. Let me tell you what. Just because we are different from humans doesn't mean we are monsters. We still have feelings, hopes, dreams, lives in general. You don't even know we are there.

We hide in plain sight for the most part. But sometimes things get messy. And by messy I���m meaning a witch falling in love with a non-witch, a werewolf failing to protect their heart, and a vampire who betrays their clan for the sake of another. Three lives that are so different that even fate seems to be playing a cruel joke. All I can say is if you are reading this then we welcome you to underground. Come take a seat and listen carefully. You may just change your mind on what you really know.

Chapter 1 – The Witch

"When will you learn to except that you can't be with Kyle? That human is nothing but trouble!" a woman says as they walk out of the dungeon holding the key to my cell.

"I'm not even with him! He's just a friend! Please let me out!" I scream but they only fall on deaf ears.

Once again my actions are being taken the wrong way. All I did was hug my best friend and now I'm grounded again with silver chains holding me hostage. I know the rules but, no one wants to believe an Empath that is only 17.

I sigh and look out the tiny window, wishing I could just be me.

Beep Beep Beep

My alarm starts to go off and wakes me up. At least it is Friday, I say to myself as I get out of bed and into the shower. Looking in the mirror I see the dark circles under my jade green eyes almost taking on a life all on their own. My long rose colored hair just tangled to no end and my bust is popping out the top. Man these things just get me into trouble. I don't think of myself as the most beautiful witch in the coven but I'm not bad.

Hoping in the shower really fast just to wash away the images in my head I sigh. Life is already bad enough with being an Empath. Now I'm having these nightmares. I can only hope school will be better.

Getting out I go to my closet and find a black tank top and a pair of jeans that are so old even the wholes look like a designer made pair. Pulling on my black chucks I walk out into the door and into the kitchen. Upon arrival I smell coffee and take my travel mug.

"Looks like you had a rough night little witchling." one of the priestesses says while eating her cereal.

"Kyle and I were talking about homework until late last night. I think Mr. Remaz is trying to fail all of us with this senior project." I say pouring my coffee, adding a little bit of honey and rose hip milk.

"Well Xanderia, not much you can do about that. But are you excited about next saturday?"

Next Saturday? What can be next Saturday that I would be excited about?

"Oh come on. Don't tell me your forgot about your 18th birthday! You finally get to be named by the Goddess and become part of the coven."

That is right. I'm going to be recognized as one of the sisters of the clan instead of just a witchling. Not only that but on a full moon night as well. This is going to exciting.

I look at the clock on the wall and gasp "Shit! I'm going to be late. See you later Priestess Nova."

I run out the door and go to the crown vic interceptor and climb in. Driving off to another long day of school. At least I have my coffee.
