Kendall slumped against the couch that she had finished setting up. She was tired from the magic drainage she had. She had been using it since the early mornings, her older sister was upstairs and sleeping with her nephew. Her long dark hair was in her face, before she brushed it back. Her bright blue eyes stared blankly at the ceiling. She heard her sister come down the stairs. Unlike Kendall, her sister had blond hair and more curves. Kendall on the other hand had small curves and had black hair with freckles. However, both girls were tall, had the same blue eyes. "How's Jack Frost?" Kendall asked about her nephew.
"Just fine," answered Catherine, yawning. Jackson Frost was the child's full name. It wasn't intentional but they stuck with it. Catherine pushed Kendall's feet off the couch. Kendall grunted. Catherine rolled her eyes, Kendall sat up straight. "You seem tired." Catherine told Kendall. "Magic drainage. Using that much magic in such a long time and drain a person, especially if they're already tired." Kendall told her sister.
Catherine sucked her teeth, "Magic is complicated." "You just don't understand it," Kendall shrugged. A cry came from upstairs while a knock on the door sounded, Catherine sighed and stood, "Can you get the door. I'll go take care of Jack." Kendall watched her sister walk back up the stairs and stood up. She stretched with a groan. "I'm coming!" she told the person who was knocking on the door.
She opened the door, "Hello!" a chirpy man said. Kendall stared at him for a minute before replying. "Hello," she answered, flashing a toothy smile. He was tall and black with almost glowing green eyes. "Oh, it's a neighbor." Catherine's voice came from behind them. She balanced jack on her hip, who's head laid on her shoulder. "My name is Catherine, my sister is Kendall and this little rascal here is Jack," Catherine gestured too Jack. "I'm Nergal, your neighbor, err, on the right side!" Kendall could tell that he was slightly nervous.
"My wife wanted too know if you would like to come over for coffee or tea," he told them. Kendall's eyebrows perked up, she was a bit of a coffee addict. Seeing her sisters liked, Catherine agreed. Nergal smiled, "Great! I can lead you away." Kendall chuckled at his enthusiasm. Catherine glared quickly at her sister before stepping outside. Kendall followed, closing the door behind her, hearing the auto-lock click.
She walked behind her sister and Nergal, who were chatting away. She could obviously tell that Jack was bored by their talking, Kendall understood how he felt. From what she heard, they were talking about something really boring. It wasn't a long walk, after all, they were next door. So in a couple of minutes, Kendall found herself standing in nergal's and his family's kitchen. She met his wife, her name was Sis and her voice sounded like she was having a stroke.
Despite that fact, they seemed relatively nice. She learned a few things about them. Learning how they went on their first date. Catherine got along well with Nergal and Sis, Sis giving tips to Cat about taking care of children. Both of them sharing things. "Oh, I have a son about Kendall's age!" the sound of her name from Nergal's mouth made her look way he said the word 'son' allowed Kendall to believe that he was quite proud of him. She rose a dark eyebrow, "Really?" she questioned. "Yes, his name is Nergal Junior." Sis said, Kendall cringed a bit. "Named after his proud father!" Nergal yelled. Sis sighed, Kendall laughed lightly. Cat laughed also, Jack just automatically laughed.
The doorknob of the door jumbled a bit before the door open. A young male walked in, then stopped. He looked confused, "Oh! Junior, we were just speaking of you! And you show up, like magic!" Nergal lunged at his son, wrapping his arm around his shoulders. Kendall twiddled awkwardly in her seat at th word "magic". "These are our new neighbors. Catherine, her son Jackson and her sister, Kendall!" Nergal gestured to each of them. His son didn't seem that amused. A obnoxious beep came from Kendall's wristwatch, causing her head too perk up. She put her cup down, "I have to go." She stood up, "So soon?" Sis asked. "Yeah, nice meeting you." She shook both Sis's and Nergal's hands.
"Good luck Kendall," Cat told her sister. Kendall nodded before heading towards the door. She turned to say something too Nergal Junior, most likely a good-bye as well. But her watch went off. She quickly waved goodbye, and left. She sprinted towards her house, getting a few items. She then left, having to meet her new apprentice soon.
"What was that about?" Nergal Jr. asked Cat. "Oh, she has too meet someone," she shrugged. "A boyfriend? So soon?" Sis joined in. Catherine laughed, "No, no. Just someone important. It's hard to explain who and why." She chuckled a bit, watching Jack play with Nergal. Nergal Junior had slipped out of the room.
This spiked Sis interest. "Really? Can you try?" "I think Kendall should explain, it is her business." Catherine was never comfortable with the fact Kendall was a Witch or Sorceress as she preferred. In fact, she never liked the thought of her practicing her skills. She didn't approve of the idea of her training someone else either. Sis shrugged it off, seeing how Cat seemed uncomfortable on the subject. However, there was something strange about the young female. And she will attempt too find out.
