The old house, the walls were burnt down, inside was filled with plants, candles that were yet to be lit. A group of witches hung out here, casting spells and testing dark magic even though they knew how angry the ancestors would get every time they tried the spells. Nora was passed a cup of some cheap beer that the guys stole. "What's the plan for tonight anyways?" Nora asked before she took a sip of the beer, her eyes landing on one of the guys aka Kevin.

"Eh we can mess around with some magic." Kevin suggested, Nora raised an eyebrow the seventeen year old wasn't surprised, the past week it's all been about dark magic. The nose bleeds, the pain, the whispers of the ancestors whom were not pleased by any of this. "Maybe in a more public setting? Mess with people?"

"Sounds fun to me." A girl with bright red hair named Sarah replied with a grin..Nora didn't say anything and only went along with this. Little did she know that this would be her last night of ever using magic again..

All Nora remembered was bleeding, screams..smoke all that smoke. She slowly opened her eyes, blurry vision but one thing that she noticed was fire. She started to cough as she slowly sat up, there was a fire in the house next door, that house was next to where they were just at..that stupid little party. She stared at her hands that began to shake, she glanced over at Kevin who sat there, eyes widened and whispered a few curses under his breath. "Nora, what did you do?" Kevin asked, his eyes welled up with tears as he looked over at her with nothing but hatred. The blonde didn't seem to understand what happened, she wiped the blood that was coming out of her nose. "What did you do?!" He yelled, Nora flinched and gulped.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about.." Nora whispered, the confusion was written all over her face.

"What do you mean!? You tried this spell that you found in some old family book and set the entire house on fire! You just killed an entire family!"

"No..no! No! I didn't do that! I didn't kill them.." Nora whispered, as she tried to calm herself down but it wasn't working. She forced herself to stand up as she stumbled down the street away from the scene, the fire that grew by the second, the people of New Orleans all rushing over, calling for help, screaming out the names of the people who lived within the house. She made her way to her house, not bothering to wake up anyone as she hurried into the bathroom.

She took off her clothes, throwing it onto the floor, she glanced up at the mirror. Her upper lip stained with blood, all that smoke that she inhaled..everything. She took a shower, and had gone off to get come clothes. Stepping into her room that she shared with her little sister Davina, she tuned on the lamp. Davina groaning and opening her eyes slightly. "Hey, did you just get back?" Davina asked quietly, watching as her sister pulled out a duffel bag and started to toss in her clothes. "Where are you going?"

"I'm staying at..Kevin's for a while." Nora said, it was a lie..she wanted to get away from this and knew that the others would come looking for her for what happened tonight. "I'll be back tomorrow or the next day, depends."

"Okay, just text me alright? Mom, can be a pain and I don't think I can handle her for long."

"I think you'll manage Davina, don't worry." Nora finished putting away the clothes that she needed, zipping up the bag and turned around to look at her. "Love you."

"Love you too." Nora turned off the lamp, stepping out of the room and before you know it left the house entirely. She needed money, she needed to go away for good..it was the first thing that she thought of and it was something that she needed.

"Nora, why are you here?" Marcel asked, he stood in his doorway with his arms crossed over his chest. "I made it clear, keep your dark magic to yourself. You're running around my city and killing families..I don't need a witch gone rogue."

"I need money. A-And a plane ticket to New York..and somewhere to stay. I'll be gone for good, and you won't have to worry about me and dark magic." Nora blurted out, Marcel stared at her with an emotionless facial expression before he let Nora inside and headed off. After about ten minutes later, he returned with an envelope with money, and a key. He handed it to her and cleared his throat.

"You stay here until tomorrow morning, and you're gone. I'll make sure you leave. This is a key to an apartment I have there. You leave and you never come back Nora. Deal?"

"Deal."
