Disclaimer: I own Kara, Crystal Stealth, and every other character mentioned in this chapter. That's all I have to say.

The darkness cast its presence on her , covering her face with gloomy shadows. But even without being bathed in the pool of darkness, Kara would still be nervous. She was clutching her most precious possession, a small, smooth, flawless white stone. The stone, when used correctly, can show the true extent of her real powers. But when used incorrectly, it could harm somebody unintentionally.
The stone was passed on to Kara from her mother, Jae, who departed onto the afterlife years ago. Jae Raven Stone was the high priestess of the town's local coven, Crystal Stealth. Crystal Stealth was a strange but powerful coven. The members operated secretly and no mortal in Shadow Lake, Ohio, knew who they were.
There was one rule if you wanted to join Crystal Stealth. You had to be a blood witch. And once you were accepted, you would be tested for strength, control, and knowledge. It was required. But there is also one other little detail. You can't join Crystal Stealth by yourself. Either a CS member noticed your presence or your power, or if you have connections with a CS member. Either way, only those two rules would work.
Kara knew the only reason she was here was because of Jae. She had her mother's powers and although she was young and not yet initiated, she knew how to use them correctly due to the previous training she had received from her mother. Jae taught her everything she knew; every spell, both light and dark, how to scry with stone, which was the family specialty, and how to read runes. Kara also had her Book Of Shadows and was starting to learn what herbs were and how to make medicine and potions using them.
" Kara Leigh Kutcher , Jae's daughter, am I right?" Sasha Brimstone asked critically, peering at her over her glasses. Kara attempted not to roll her eyes as she answered. Sasha was the second most powerful member in CS and she aim to take over Crystal Stealth. But thank god her mother was smart enough to find out about Sasha using dark power to get what she wanted and banned her from ever taking over the role as leader of CS. Then her mother died suddenly and Kara wondered if her death was actually the doing of Sasha. But Sasha had only smiled secretly and said, "Kara, you shouldn't be worrying about things that's not your business at all."
She was nine then, but now she was fourteen years old, almost fifteen. She had matured from being a fragile little girl to being a growing teenager with a full figure and beautiful blue eyes, which was her best feature. Kara also had her mother's blonde hair and porcelain skin. There was enough about her that proves to people that she's not her mother's shadow anymore.
"So, Kara, I heard you have been studying the craft of Wicca. Tell us what you know, and if you please, show us some samples of what you'd learned."
She fidgeted with the pendant on her neck slowly. "Well, I've been learning the basics of Wicca. How to honor the God and Goddess, how to work simple protection spells, what the celebrations of Wicca is, stuff like that."
Sasha looked bored. "So you know all that. Show us now what a witch you can be."
Kara closed her eyes and instantly shut down all access leading to herself. She chanted an inaudible spell and pushed all the negative feelings from her mind until she felt her soul separate itself from her body. She kept chanting and chanting, holding the stone close to her, until she felt the energy seeping into it. The stone glowed for a minute before flying out of her hands, levitating in the air. Then a bright blue light came out of it and everyone closed their eyes so the light wouldn't burn their eyes. When the light faded a little, they opened their eyes, and gasped at the stone. It showed a picture of Crystal Stealth, twenty years into the future. The whole coven was burned to the ground, and where the coven itself should be, stood Sasha, looking wild and crazy, laughing.
The vision lingered on the stone for a few moments, then the light completely faded and the stone dropped to the ground, looking like a normal stone again. Everyone looked shocked and awed but Sasha didn't.
"How could you do that?" She yelled. "Made me looked so evil with that ridiculous magic of yours?" She tried to hit Kara but a few witches stood before her path and restrain her from doing anything. Sasha growled angrily and looked at her, making eye contact. Her piercing glaze made Kara looked to the ground. " You are now a witch, Kara. But what you did was unacceptable."
"I only asked the stone to show me Crystal Stealth 20 years later into the future," Kara mumbled in her defense, still looking at her shoes. Someone nudged her, and she looked up. Her step-brother Ashton smiled at her. "It's okay," he whispered so nobody could hear. "That was not your fault." He put his arm around her shoulders and started to lead her away from the initiation.
"Kara?"
Aston stopped and Kara turned around. Sasha had a strange smile on her face, a smile that looked so…evil.
" Kara, you will pay for doing this. I'm make sure you pay."
Kara immediately brushed off Ashton's arm and ran. He sighed and turned to face Sasha, who was now calm.
"Sasha, don't think you're all that. I'll never ever let you touch my sister in any way. And if you do, I will hunt you down and kill you."
Not waiting for a response he walked away from her and started to look for Kara.
