The omens mainly come from Spells by Matthew Green, but I altered them
slightly.
Part 1: Let the Magick begin.
May 2 1972
Today at our Coven meeting we discussed charms and omens. Most talked about money, I wanted to talk about love and how to bring that into my life. Of course I'm foolish if I think that the older witches in our Coven want to talk about love. But I did notice Angus look my way a few times. That was encouraging!
But I did learn a few charms that might be useful, of course I could just alter them for love.
At the stroke of mid-night stand on the porch and rose petals into the threshold to bring love to the house. Your meant to use money for it to bring wealth, but love is better. Sprinkle peppermint tea in the home to attract gnomes, which bring prosperity. I will so have to try that! Bathe with water, where coins have been placed to cloak ones self in the energies of wealth. Sure thing! I wonder is bathing with rose petals brings love! - Bradhadair
Liz's POV
So here we are, out in the desert by the lake. Maria drove the four of us up here in her jetta. I'm not sure what to expect. I have my book of shadows in my backpack, the same as Kyle and Alex. Maria took us to a local shop called Practical Magick to buy them. The shopkeeper, Andy, kept giving me some strange looks. I think I heard him say something about being in the blood. whatever that means! Anyway the 3 of us each book a black book from there. The cover of Alex's is dark green, with Book of Shadows inscribed in silver. The cover on Kyle's was dark blue with BOF inscribed in gold. I was going to buy a red book, but the other shopkeeper, Melinda, insisted that I buy another book. The cover on this one had a red and purple marbled pattern on it, and was at least 3 times as thick as the guys' books. When I asked why I had to have this one, she told me that my blood wanted it. then told me I could have it on the house. Maria really does have some strange friends! I did note that in the bottom corner of each page LP was inscribed. That's pretty cool, goes with Liz Parker rather well!
"Hey guys, come look at my book of shadows." Maria called the 3 of us to her. Her book of shadows was plain black, and looked to be half full of writing already. Glancing threw it I could see spells that I was dying to try out, though I would never tell Maria that. I was still weary of this whole Wicca idea, but if it makes Maria happy.
"So what shall we do first?" Alex asked Maria. The 2 of them, and Kyle, began to discuss what we could do. I myself however felt drawn to something, not to far away from the lake. I began to walk up the hill keeping an eye on the lake. You see some of the lake is hidden by the hill, meaning that you had a good hiding place. In fact if someone was driving up to the lake, or even swimming in the lake, you might not know it. It was like having 2 lakes for the price of one. I kept walking and in the distance I could clearly make out a jeep. I wonder if that was Max's jeep, but I doubt he even know that this place exists. I keep going and spot a shoe by my foot. They looked like military boots, I recognised them, but couldn't place where I had seen them before. the other boot was a little to my side, and so was a white T-Shirt, and a pair of black jeans.
*SPLASH*
"What the fuck?!?!" I screamed, and before I knew it I lost my footing and fell head first into the lake. The thing was I couldn't swim. I went under, I couldn't breathe. The water was surprisingly deep, and I kept sinking. I tried to move, but I hit my head on something hard. and the blackness came.
Max's POV
I had another argument with Isabel and Michael today. They just keep raving on about how I should get over my obsession with Liz Parker. But I can't help it! She's so beautiful she takes my breath away. Something about her draws me in, like I'm under a spell. I want her for my own, but I can't have her. I'm an alien King of some planet that died years ago. It reminds me somewhat of superman and Clark Kent. but he got the girl in the end, and with Michael and Isabel breathing down my neck I can't even talk to the girl!
So here I am by the lake. I often come out here to swim, and get away from my troubles. Just to pretend that I'm a normal boy, in love with an extraordinary girl. I sit in the sand and toss my boots and socks of. I hastily take off my shirt, and unzip my jeans. Obviously my boxers stay on. you never know who might turn up! The water is deep, so I can dive right in. I go under and then swim to the top. I manage to hear someone scream out,
"What the fuck?!?!" followed by me watching someone fall head first into the water. I expect them to come back up to the surface, but I see no one. Panicking I dive under to look for them. Luckily my powers allow me to see perfectly whether I'm underwater, and in the middle of the night. After 30 seconds of searching, I see something. Swimming as fast as I can I grab them, and haul them to the surface. Getting there I take a huge gasp of air.
"LIZ!" Someone screams behind me. I look at the person in my arms, and want to be sick. Liz is bleed heavily from a deep cut in her head. I take her to the shore.
"What happened?" Alex Whitman asked me. What was I meant to tell him?
"I don't know. I was swimming, and I heard someone scream and fall into the water. I didn't even know who it was that fell in!" I look at the three faces around me, and knew that if I didn't do something soon, Liz would die. "I need to ask you three something."
"What?" They asked at the same time.
"Do you trust me with her life." Alex and Kyle looked like I had grown a second head, but Maria just looked me straight in the eye.
"I know who you are Max Evans, and yes I trust you." She leaned forward and whispered in my ear. "Please save her. Zan." I was shocked, how did a mortal girl, and human girl know my name, unless she was. Ava? No Ava was dead, and I didn't love this girl as a man loves a woman. perhaps a sister. ok straying from the issue at hand here. I nod at Maria and kneel down to Liz. I place my hand on Liz's head and concentrate on healing her wounds.
"Liz you need to open your eyes." I pleaded with her. She stirred slightly and her eyes opened slightly. I was in. I concentrated on the bringing the cells back together and stopping the blood flow. I could hear Kyle and Alex gasp from behind me, completely shocked at what I wad doing. I knew that when they found out, Michael and Isabel would surely kill me. But I didn't care. I need to heal this girl, this most beautiful girl, so maybe one day she would know that I love her.
*Flash*
My angel, I hope that you will never have to suffer what I had to.
*Flash*
My little witch, how you've grown.
*Flash*
Angus no, please it was a mistake, I lover you. And what about little Lizzie here?
*End Flash*
I was bombarded with images, but from what I could tell Liz was a baby in each of them. Usually when I get flashes, they are of things that the person can remember. but these, surely Liz didn't remember these. maybe they have a hidden meaning. I didn't recognise the other woman in the flashes, but they didn't look like Liz's mother either.
"Max?" I hear a croaky voice ask me. I look down and see Liz staring back at me. She didn't look afraid of even disgusted with me. in fact it almost looked like love shinning in her eyes. but that could just be me.
"Yes Liz?"
"Thanks. for saving my life." She gave a small smile, and I smiled back.
"Sorry for interrupting Max, but we have some things. to discuss. Maybe you should phone Michael and Isabel, to make this easier. And uh. maybe you should put some pants on." Maria gave a small grin.
"Oh. right." I look to Alex and Kyle, seeing them question Maria silently with her eyes. At the shake of her head, they turned to me and looked rather confused. "I'll be right on that." With that I walk towards my car, were my cell phone was, picking my pants and shirt up on the way. Why do I get the feeling this might be a long night.
