Well, I'm not dead yet…hope you enjoy! This chapter is the scene in Bloodwitch. Also, I've branched out a bit, and I'm going into the characters heads before they actually meet in person. I think it sounds better that way. Also I've decided I'm going to do all the scenes up to book six, and then I'll move on to some more little stories and one shots.

Damnit, damnit, damnit! This isn't working. I can't find anything on Cal and Selene. They're covering their tracks far too well not to be up to something, not that I need proof of that. They aren't slipping up, or leaving me anything suspicious to send to the council. I know they're up to something but I can't show the council that a lack of evidence means a crime. And of course, there's the little spell that they've cast on me that's given me this bloody cold. I'm going insane. And I swear it's because of her.

Shit. How did she get into mother's library? I can't even get in there, and she wasn't even looking for it! She's more powerful that we thought. She's perfect. So much raw power at our disposal. She's far too easy to court. And it's going to cost her her life.
But how did she get in there? And find Maeve's book? All those books, and she picks out the very one that could ruin our plan. Thankfully, Morgan's decided not to question Mother too much. She's slightly more guarded now, and I can't say I blame her. But it won't be a problem. A few kisses, and she'll be ours again.
ICE
How does she do it? I met her for thirty seconds, and already she's all I can think about. What is it about her that pulls me to her? She's already clouding my judgment. Sky knows something's wrong, but no way am I going to tell her.
FIRE
I called Morgan and suggest a trip to Practical Magick. It's too easy with her. All smiles, kisses, and presents and her defenses are gone. She's a romantic. Or very naïve. We wander around the shop a bit more, until we both decide we've had enough. Oh, shit. I can sense him.
ICE
I scried for Cal and found his car at Practical Magick. I take the small rock I've spelled. It's a simple spell, to be sure. Hopefully so simple that he won't be able to notice it if he scans his car.
It doesn't take long to get to the shop. I cast my senses quickly and sense Cal, with Morgan. Better work fast.
I'm just checking to make sure that the rock is wedged in, when I hear the door open and of course, there they are.
FIRE
What the hell is he doing? I cast my senses out to my car quickly and sense nothing. I'll have Mother check it when I get back home. Just to be safe.
He says something to Morgan, but I feel her tense next to me. Good. She hates him too. They're sniping at each other, and then he decides to try and pit her against me. God, he's pathetic.
ICE
She's not listening to me. She doesn't believe me. She has to. It's Cal she has to worry about, and it's me she hates. What is he saying to her?
Morgan walks by me, and my arm brushes against hers, and Oh, Holy Goddess.
A wave of pure…I honestly have no idea. It's like all the energy you would receive in a circle, but times ten. It's a solid rush of pure energy. So why am I getting it from her? I look down at her and find she's just as shaken and pale as I am. She felt it too. What's going on?
FIRE
When Morgan walked past Hunter, she doubled over, pale. I wanted to go to her, but I was too busy glaring at Hunter. What did he do to her? Did he spell her? I cast my senses toward her, and she's not spelled at all. So what happened?
Then I hear Morgan's small voice cut through the win. She sounds bad. I need to get her away from him before he starts talking about me again. We can't lose her.
ICE
They get in the car to leave, and I can't resist parting words to Morgan. And for a moment, I let my mask slip.
Damnit.
