-Chapter 1-
October 2003,
I can't wait to see me brother again. It has been the longest year ever without him and I've missed him so. He's coming to visit and he says he found our father in Canada. I can't wait to meet him. I wonder, as always, but now more than ever, what he's like. I remember only glimpses of him. I was, after all, only four when he and mum left us with our relatives. I wonder what he's think of his baby girl now... maybe he'll like me, no matter what, because I'm his daughter, and he doesn't care what color my hair is now. For the most part blonde, but with burgundy bangs that aren't really bangs at all, because they're as long a hair which is down to the top of my bottom. We'll have to see, now won't we? Well that's all for today. Ta!
Sagittarius
I awaited anxiously, my stomach doing a flip flop as my brother's flight was announced. My aunt Sheilah told me to calm down and pulled me down next to her. I stood back up five minutes later to go walk to the gate so I could jump on Hunter when he got in. just then I felt a hand descend on my shoulder. I jumped and turned around only to find my boyfriend Aaron. He had black hair with long, green bangs; the rest of his hair was cut short. I hugged him and then, ironically, I jumped to the feeling of another hand on my shoulder.
"Hunter! Stop doing that!" I yelled, and then turned around. To my amazement it was the one person I never expected to recognize me. My Father, Daniel Niall was now standing in front of me and smiling. My jaw dropped in amazement. My breathing was shallow and I could hear my heart beating in my ears.
"You're not Hunter. Not hunter at all, because...."
"Because I'm your father, Sagittarius. My beautiful little girl, so many years I have longed to watch you grow up into the fine young women you are now. nice hair, it suites you." he said all of this smiling while I stood there in awe, looking at the man who was my father and everything I remembered him to be. Tall, masculine, hair graying and brown eyes still very full of life and care and love. And something else... what was it I saw in the endless pools of knowledge and mastery? Something sad, then I remembered. My mother was dead. He still longed to hold her, to feel her body against him, the warmth of her lips and the smell of her hair. The feeling of their magick combining into something beautiful. For him it was all gone, he could no longer feel that feeling of togetherness with someone. He was torn in half.
"Sage? What's wrong?" Aaron said into my ear.
"What do you mean? I'm fine" I replied turning to him and holding his hands.
"Heh. You're not singing to Going under like usual," he said to me putting his head closer and kissing my hands.
"Oh, I didn't hear it!" I laugh and start singing in the middle of the song as a crowd gathers to hear.
The song ends and others applaud and scream for me, enjoying my performance. I curtsey for them as a group of boys come up to me.
"Hey Sage, you sound as good as usual. Heh. You could out sing anyone in this city if you wanted!"
"Yeah, you're great! You sound so amazing!"
"I wish you were my girlfriend!"
All the boys were complimenting me on my singing while my family, hunter too, looked around at each other and shrugged meaning they don't know what's going on. People came up to me with pens and paper asking for my autograph even though they didn't know me, which was odd. After a few minutes I told the crowds I had to go home and I gathered the family and we went to the van.
Our big, blue Dodge van thing was just what we needed for this group. Spacious, comfortable, and safe, it was my favorite family car. Aaron and I rode in the third, or back, row and cuddled while hunter looked at us in the mirror and kept turning around and teasing me. I started giggling and pushed him around, then got back to cuddling with my boyfriend. I took off my black army-like jacket and tossed it on the floor, revealing my black corset that showed my incredibly pale skin. Aaron ran his finger along my arm while we looked into each other's eyes and sent messages to each other. His eyes were very compelling, such a light green and so beautiful, like ocean water or green coral. mine were a deep blue, but the changed colors depending on what I wear, for instance, now I think they'd be gray blue, thanks to my all black ensemble of a long and full black skirt of many layers, a black corset over a black peasant top, other times they are green.
Then we were at the house, and there was Aaron's car. I told everyone we were going to go for a drive, and my brother looked disgusted as he say Aaron put an arm around my hips and kissed my cheek. I sent Hunter a witch message you would do the same with Morgan, wouldn't you?
We were off in his black car, going toward the gothic cemetery. It was the hang out with our friends, all wiccans who were like us. Not dark, but we like to look it to scare others. We were walking; I was holding my skirt above the ground so I didn't get dirt on it. At the house I changed my jacket in for my emerald green velvet cloak. Aaron stared in awe as he saw my eyes change to emerald green before him. He was wearing black pants with huge, clunky boots, almost like mine except his had buckles and spikes and mine tied up. He was wearing a tight black shirt that made him look really good; his lip was pierced as were his ears, four times each.
There were our friends, looking at us through dark make up as we walked towards them. We stopped under a big oak tree. Tymmie was smoking again.
"I thought you were quitting that vile habit," I said with disgust. "It's horrible how you can stand having those chemicals put into your body, destroying your inside, making you so sick you won't be able to walk to school, not like you care."
"I do care Sage! I'm not an idiot, I know what it does to you, what I'm doing to myself but it's so hard to quit." Tymmie replied.
"We're going to help you Tym, don't worry. It will be hard, yes, but you'll live," Aaron said.
Tymmie's head dropped, his black hair shading his eyes. It was shorter in the back as than it was in the front and his eyes were bright blue.
Just then I felt a familiar presence. Familiar, yes, but I hadn't felt it in years. I turned to see a man with brown hair and chocolate eyes. My father.
"Dad?!" I gasped.
"Hello Alwyn. Oh, who is this? Your boyfriend perhaps," he replied pointing to Aaron.
I hadn't expected him to be here, no one knew where I went when I said I'm going out with my friends. To see him standing there was such a shock. I stumbled back against the tree. I was oddly afraid of him, his power. He was somewhat different than the way I remembered him.
"How did you find me? No one but us knows where this place is." I replied back.
"You're my daughter; I can pinpoint your energy easily."
"Why are you here? I just want to see my friends Da, and yes he is my boyfriend." I said, trying to stay calm.
"Why are you so angered at my presence Alwyn? Do I annoy you that much? Do you not want to see me?" he asked, obviously hurt by my reaction.
"Of course I want to see you Da," I said walking to him and hugging him, "but I wanted to see my friends too. You see, we always meet before the circle to talk and stuff without adults. It's nothing of you that annoys me Da, I love you. You're just as I remember you. Tall, handsome, hard on the outside, but on the inside you were very affectionate to us. I remember you used to play with me as a child, you used to read to me, and heal my wounds when I fell. You were the best Da in the world, no matter what happened or what anyone else said. You always will be, and that's how I like it. Now, I'll see you in a few hours. How did you get here?"
"Teleportation spell, naturally," he replied.
"Okay, well go back to the house, I'll be home in an hour to get ready for the circle, and I don't eat dinner so don't worry." I said.
"Why don't you eat dinner Alwyn?" he asked.
"It makes me sick," I replied
"...Oh...well alright. I'll see you later then Alwyn" he kissed my forehead," I love you."
"Heh, I love you too Da, Ta!" I said
"Who in the world was that?" asked Morgain.
"That, Morgain, was my father. He left my brothers and I when I was four, I haven't seen him since, until now that is." I replied
"Oh, I'm sorry Sage, I didn't know. I mean, he doesn't look like you at all. Well, maybe a little, but not enough to know you're related. You look more like your aunt and uncle than you do your father, I'm afraid." she said to me. I could tell she was sorry by the look on her face and the powerful sense of emotion I was getting from her. She really was sorry that she talked to me like that.
"Morgain, it is hardly your fault. Actually you're right. I look nothing like my father. I look more like my mother, and my uncle is her brother. That's why I look more like them than I do my father. My mother was beautiful. She had red hair and green eyes, a warm smile and a gentle voice. She was a good and powerful witch and I miss her very much. You would all like my mother, I know I did. And I'm not looking for sympathy. I had enough of that when I was younger. Aunt Sheilah would always tell my uncle to go easy on us because we had just lost our parents and that there was a reason that we acted as we did. So, enough of this, let's change the subject and be on with our day."
We walked through the cemetery and talked of our mornings. We shared memories and thoughts of various subjects. We joked with each other and giggled. It was a very pleasant morning for everyone. We were always very open with each other and never held back any secrets from one another.
I asked if they minded my brother and his friends joining us, they said they didn't. We all got along fine and always had a good time together. So I sent hunter a message asking if he wanted to join us. He sent one back saying yes he would and asked if he could bring some friends. I replied to him saying of course. We decided to meet at the fountain in the park in a half an hour.
The park was in walking distance and was very nice, with flowers and sculptures in various places. There were enormous trees and birds flying through them. Ivy grew up walls and between flowers. It was an old park, over a hundred years it had been here, and for many years it had been a meeting place for hunter and I.
There he was with his friends Stephen and Nikolas, both are from the coven. The fountain was on a hill of grass and had one big tree in back of it. The fountain sculpture was of an angel pouring water out of a vase into a garden of roses. We walked up to the boys and sat down on the fountain. I got bored while sitting so I stood and walked around in front of everyone while we talked.
I found it odd that Stephen was staring at me the whole time. Hunter didn't seem to notice. It made me a little nervous because of the look in his eyes, a sort of lust. I've never noticed that before. How long has he looked at me like that?
This is too much. I thought to myself then looked at Hunter. Once I got eye contact I nodded over to an empty space where we could talk privately.
"What is it Alwyn? Why did you pull me over here?" he questioned.
"I'm getting an odd stare from Stephen. It's a look of, I don't know, lust. It makes me uncomfortable." I looked back and he was staring at me, a smile tugging at the side of his mouth.
"He is looking at you oddly, yes, but have you ever thought of why? Maybe it's the way you dress. You know corsets make you look very appealing in more ways than one. For instance, it pushes your breasts up to make them look fuller and more appealing, and your stomach is sucked in. it's very attractive to say the least. What boy or man in their right mind wouldn't stare? If I wasn't your brother, I would."
I nodded and we walked back in silence. When we got back I sat next to Aaron. I put my arms around his waist and put my head on his shoulder. He held me close to him and Stephen looked at him with rage. I could feel his hate over this distance and I knew Aaron could too because he was looking at him with protection in his eyes. I let go of Aaron, got up, looked at them, and walked off, my cloak flowing behind me. I didn't want to be in the middle of their feud. It was enough to find Stephen staring at me, but I couldn't take that challenge between them. I heard thunder roll behind me and broke into a jog looking behind my shoulder every once in a while. When I got to Aaron's car outside the cemetery I sat down on the tree in front of it.
"Maybe they didn't hurt each other. Maybe it was my brother stopping them before they did anything." I said.
"Actually, it was the clouds. There's a storm coming in and that was the thunder. No one was hurt. A little yelling, but that's about it."
Nikolas sat next to me under the tree.
"Are you sure? Nothing else happened, and of this you're positive?" I asked between shudders.
"I'm positive."
He put his arm around my shoulders and I cried on him for what seemed like an hour.
I must have fallen asleep, because I woke up in my bed. I woke with a start and bolted upright in my bed. Someone changed me into my pajamas and then I saw my brother sitting in the chair across the room at my vanity.
"Hunter," I croaked, "Giomnach what happened brother?"
"They are both safe," he said. "I talked to Stephen about that look, he said he could not help but notice how much of a woman you've become."
I reached for him and he walked to the bed and sat as we held each other.
"I love you Hunter," I said to him.
"I love you too," he replied. "How's school going? Do you have any classes with Aaron? What about Nikolas? Any classes with anyone?"
"I have art and Literature with Nikolas. I have Physical Education with Stephen and Morgain. I have lunch with Aaron and Tymmie. That's about it I think. Orchestra I'm all alone in and the same with math. Oh! I have German with Ryon. He's really nice. He's in a different coven though."
"Good. Do you enjoy your classes?"
"Yes, I love having art and Literature with Nikolas. We sit together too! It's a lot of fun having him with me, he makes me feel safe and loved, like when I'm with Aaron, only different, because he reminds me of you while you're gone."
"Oh I do, do I?" Nikolas said and smiled as he walked in.
"Yes, you do, and it's nice." I replied while getting out of bed and putting my bath robe on. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to prepare for the circle tonight. Hunter, did you bring your robe back?"
"Yes I did"
"Good, is it clean?"
"Yes"
"Alright" I said and walked out of the room, followed by Hunter and Nikolas.
