Part 7
Gia was without a doubt the most gorgeous girl he had ever seen. Sean had never thought such a beautiful girl would be interested in him. He had shown her around the island, and invited her to the Circle full moon meeting that evening.
"You *what*?" Laurel demanded, staring at him.
Sean had run into her at a local convenience store and mentioned he was taking Gia with him that evening. "It's okay, she's a witch too. That's what makes her so fascinating."
Laurel eyed him dubiously. "Uh-huh. How did you find out such an interesting fact?"
"I told her what I was, and she said she was too." Couldn't Laurel see how great this was? It made the point there were other witches out there, that they weren't the last coven in the new world after all. There were others out there, all they had to know was where to look, and Gia could help them with that.
"And how can you be sure she's not one of those witch wannabes with no real powers?"
Laurel seemed so determined to ruin this for him. Sean didn't get girls very often, why could no one be *happy* for him? It was going to be all he could do to keep Chris and Doug from taking her. Girls seemed to love that whole twin thing they had going. Gia had come to *him*.
"I'm *bringing* her whether you like it all not. You're all going to see how great she is and that she's in love with *me*!" he snapped, and stalked off.

Laurel stared after Sean, unable to believe what she had just seen. Sean had been acting like - like - what? He'd completely blown up. Sean never did that. He was so mellow.
Laurel shook her head as she paid for the snacks and pop cans she had picked up for the full moon meeting that evening. Sean had gone back to being a background kind of guy. He had seemed happy to do so after being Black John's pawn.
She walked home, trying to figure out why Sean had gone so nuts over a girl he'd only just met. Or maybe she was looking into this too much. Sean was entitled to have a girlfriend if he wanted one.
Maybe if she came to the meeting this Gia person could prove she was a real witch.
Yes, Laurel had to see some sort of proof before letting an unknown girl in on what they were doing. And she was certain Cassie would agree with her.
Only if Gia turned out *not* to be a witch and Sean had told her too much...
As soon as she got home she called Diana. Diana would know what to do.
"We have a little problem down here."
"Talk about bad timing. We've got problems down here too." Sarcasm, even mild, was unusual for Diana.
Laurel stared at her phone. Was *everyone* in the Circle going nuts? "What - this Century's Star deal?"
"Yes. It's becoming much more important than we thought. We've had to tell Cody everything. The threat of Dagan has become much larger than we anticipated." That sounded more like Diana. Maybe Laurel was just thrown off by Sean's outburst.
"Can you guys handle that okay?"
"Of course. What's your problem?"
"Oh, compared to another bad guy - it's - well - Sean's met this girl Gia and says she's a witch and he's bringing her to the meeting tonight."
"Hm."
Laurel's eyebrows rose. She reached for a purple hair brush on the dressing table and began tapping it nervously. "What'd you mean 'Hm?'"
"I think I detect a little green eyed monster." There was a definite smile in Diana's tone.
"What?" Laurel couldn't believe what she was hearing. "I am not jealous! Thanks for nothing!" She hung up angrily.
She disliked this Gia person already. She was throwing the Circle into unnecessary disarray. The sooner they could get rid of her the better.

Gianna stood in front of her mirror, wondering what to wear to a witch coven's full moon meeting. Sean was already completely enamoured with her. She'd watched his little scene in the store with the brown haired girl from his Circle. Gianna had revelled in the girl's obvious shock. She wondered what the girl was going to do now. She moved over to a crystal ball on her dressing table and lit the candles on either side of it, staring deeply into the crystal, waiting for an image to come.
Ten minutes later when nothing had happened Gianna blew out the candles angrily. Seeing was one of her specialities. She was a very good clairvoyant. She wanted to see what effect she was having on the girl. She pulled a tight fitting black leather skirt from her wardrobe and blue tube top. The top fit close around her chest, pushing her breasts up and out, the skirt showed a nice amount of long luscious legs. She left her blonde hair loose around her shoulders. Gianna was going to have more than a *magic* act on this stupid coven.
