Cal's POV
The next morning I woke up and I really wasn't ready to go to school but da made me. He doesn't want me to miss any more school but I think there's something else.
Hunter had woken up earlier to bring Sky somewhere so she could meet people then he told me he was going to drive Morgan to school. I would have gone with him but he like always didn't want me to tag along.
Hunter's been acting really strange around me lately, like last night he didn't even talk to me at all after we met that Selene women. I never met her before but there's something about her that seems oddly familiar.
I just knew today wasn't going to go too well. I didn't do any of the work I missed from yesterday and also Bree, my so called girlfriend was going to be there. I didn't even like her, as low as it sounds, but she just jumped on me the night I saw her at the movies.
I pulled into the parking lot of the school and turned off the car. I sighed I should just go to the office and tell them I'm sick I can always do a little spell or too to really make me sick.
The cool autumn air stung my warm skin as I walked out of my car. Who comes running towards me but Bree of course.
"Hey baby." She greeted me. "I was worried about you." She added and went on her tippy toes to give me a kiss on the cheek. "Come on there's some people I want you to meet."
Great now I was going to meet her annoying friends. When we walked up to the cement steps leading into the school I saw Morgan, Hunter, and Robbie standing by six other people.
Bree looked over and smiled at me. Not to be stereotyping but most of these people didn't look like a typical group of friends.
"Cal," Bree began to say. "This is Matt Adler, Jeanna Ruiz, Ethan Sharp, Sharon Goodfine, and Raven Meltzer."
"Hi." I nearly mumbled.
"Hunter brought us all together, well Hunter and Morgan." Bree said.
Why would they do that? Did he want us all to be friends or something?
"I wanted to start a coven." Hunter stated, he most have been reading me. "Morgan and I have been talking to a lot of people over the past week. I asked people if they were interested in Wicca some thought it sounded cool but others were scared. Now tonight were all going to meet at the corn field, remember the one I told you all about and we'll think about making a coven remember to bring everything Morgan and I told you guys about."
I looked at Hunter. How come he didn't tell me any of this? He looked mad so did Morgan, but she just follows everything he says.
Everyone began to talk about the up coming circle. I needed to talk to Hunter.
"Hunter come over here." I witch messaged to him.
He looked over at me and then at Morgan, he said something to her but I didn't hear.
"What?" He asked me.
"What is all this?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean hoe come I didn't know anything about this little meeting."
Hunter sighed, he didn't know what to say. "Cal, I didn't want to tell you with everything going on."
"Bleeding hell what's going on? There's nothing going on."
Morgan looked over at us she heard me yell and walked over.
"What's wrong?" She asked looking at Hunter.
"Nothing, the bells going to ring soon, let's get to class." He told her and walks away from me.
Bree walked over. "What was that about?" She asked.
"Nothing."
"Are you sure, you were almost yelling."
"Bree, it was nothing." I said raising my voice a little, Robbie looked up.
"Okay, sorry for asking. I'm going to get going." She told me and blew me a kiss goodbye.
Moments later Robbie walked over to me.
"Don't yell at Bree." He said to me.
"What?" He has no right telling me what to do.
"Bree's my friend and I don't want her to get hurt from a bastard like you, you all are the same." He walked away.
Sky's POV
I was uncomfortable. I sat on an ugly flower patterned sofa that smelt of cat urine. I sat still waiting for my host to come back with tea.
"Here you go dear," The sweet old women said to me. "I brought some sugar and honey just in case you wanted to sweeten the tea a little."
Hunter was right Alyce was a nice woman. We sat in silence she must have known the reason I was here was to talk about her store, Practical Magick, that she co owned with a man David.
"Now about the store. It's going to be reopening soon right?"
"Yes, David found money to pay the rent." She told me as she took a long sip of her tea.
"Where did the money come from?" I asked
"Well I don't know, he said that the people in change of the rent lowered the price. They know hoe important the job is to him."
I felt sorry for this woman. David was her best friend and telling her that he was using dark magick would just crush her.
"Listen, Alyce." I began. "Hunter and I are thinking that David is using dark magick."
Her face turned pale. "That can't be, David wouldn't hurt a fly!"
"Hunter is a seeker he knows what he's doing."
She was silent for awhile. "Are you going to strip him of his magick?"
"We have to, we can't let witches go around misusing their power even if he is your friend."
Alyce began to cry softly, I didn't know her very well but the least I could do was comfort her.
