"What are we going to do?"

"I don't know, his powers are too strong to control."

"We've got to bind this gift before he hurts someone."

"I'll go get the things we need."

Kyle saw his mother and another woman he recognized from the coven standing over a child talking about some "gift." He knew that he was in the room with them but it was as if they couldn't see him at all. Just then, the wooden shelf at the back of the room fell down spilling its contents all over the floor. Kyle noticed that the shelf now looked rotten, as if years had passed in just a few seconds. Strange. What was going on? Kyle wondered. As the woman came back, the child started to cry sending the two women flying across the room with a gust of wind.

"We've got to do this fast, its getting worst," his mother said as she helped the other woman up.

His mother held up a berry and fed it to the child she slowly rocked it back and forth on her shoulder and the child quieted immediately. The other woman smiled as if to say she was glad the ordeal was over, but Kyle still stood in the background, as some ghostly form, watching the scene unfold. Who is that child? Is it the other woman's? Kyle knew his mother often helped the other women in the coven with their children, when Kyle was younger. the scene slowly faded and blackness surrounded Kyle once again.

Kyle abruptly woke up to see the English teacher standing over him. Kyle sat up quickly. The class began to laugh all around the room, the teacher turned to quiet them, and then back to Kyle. "Didn't get enough sleep, Mr. Corvus?"

"Sorry, I'm not a morning person." He replied weakly with a smile.

As they got out of class Kayla stood at her locker located next to Kyle's. Thankfully, he had caught up with her this time. Their lockers weren't too far from the class, so they both normally got their first thing and talked, but he had to talk to Branden today, so she was in English far before him apparently. She finished putting her books away and looked at Kyle.

"That bitch gave you detention huh?"

"Kayla Kali!" came the teacher's voice from the door next to their lockers.

"Your lucky you both aren't in detention for those types of attitudes."

She then walked back into the room and left Kayla standing in awe. She turned to him, as he was about to leave for his next class and started to rant on and on barely intelligible.

"Who does she think she is. that-"

"Whoa! lets stop you there before you really do end up in detention."

"I can't help it she's just a bitch."

"Well, that may be so.ok, it is so.but I don't want to see you get in trouble again." "Come on we're going to be late for Geometry."

They quickly ran to their next class barely making it in on time. The teacher sat quietly at her desk grading papers. The rest of the students walked around and found open seats. Kyle and Kayla positioned themselves in seats in the back next to each other. When class finally started and the teacher was getting something from a closet, they took the opportunity to discuss what to do after school today.

"So, what are you doing this afternoon?" Kyle asked Kayla in a whisper.

"Why don't we go to The Magick Circle?"

"Cool, I haven't been there for a while, I need some more Spirit Incense for the séance. Better plan ahead ya know."

"Ok, then I'll meet you in front of the school at three."

"Cool."

After math, Kyle had Earth Science, and on his way, he decided to invite Branden to go with them to the shop that afternoon. Branden was busy putting books in his locker, and turned around when Kyle approached.

"Hey, Branden, want to go with me and Kayla to The Magick Circle this afternoon?"

"Sure, when are you going?"

"At three."

"Ok, I'll be there."

Kyle headed off to his next class hoping that this day would be over very soon, the shop was just calling out their names already. It had become one of the best places to hang out in the pat few years, since Kyle decided to train to become a Witch, and Kayla was Hindu, with some Wiccan beliefs thrown in, and Branden was Wiccan with aspects on Egyptian deities. The shop had soon wound its way around their minds and now was their favorite place to visit. As the day came to an end Kyle walked out to the front of the school.
