A/N Hello! I'm a little depressed over the results and end of Shipwrecked 2006, so I thought what can cheer me up? Writing is what! So hey! Thanks for all your lovely reviews. I do believe you all seem to be Ally's friends. LOL. Well, yes she is in it now (she is my most bestest reviewer ever) and her brother's name is in it. I say name, because I don't actually know her brother (or her that well) so these characters are mainly mine, with their names, and kinda based on what Ally wanted me to make her character. Anyhoot, if you lot all want cameo's you can, just review this chapter and tell me what you want to be called and look like. I'm afraid you won't get big parts, just walk ons probably because I already have a million characters, and only my most bestest reviewers get proper parts.


"Kai, will you wait up here please?" Keaira asked him. They were back at her house, and she needed to show Sarah on her own.

"Um... sure. I'll just... yeah." He gave her a weird look, but wandered into the living room.

"Come on," Keaira said, going down into the cellar, Sarah followed her.

"What is it?"

"The night of the circle, I scryed and I saw our circle again, only not from my point of view, you know? Anyway, I saw a chalice hovering over us. Then when I looked in the mirror, after scrying I saw it again. When I told my parents they showed me this," Keaira went to the table and pulled a black cloth from the chalice. Sarah gave a small gasp. "It was your mum's, they took it to purify it, so you would have something..."

"I thought it was her... I recognised her magick," Sarah said, her hand reached out, as if she wanted to touch the chalice, but didn't dare.

"I think it was just this. I don't know what happened or who was behind it, but I really don't think it was your mum."

Sarah looked at Keaira, "Thank you, and thank your parents. I better go," she said, picking up the chalice. She wrapped it up again and took it upstairs with her.

Keaira followed her and Kai came out of the living room. "You done?" He asked.

"Yes, you coming over tomorrow?"

"Sure," he said with a smile.

Morgan came out of the kitchen and gave a cough, "After I've studied, obviously." Keaira added.

"Obviously," Kai said, with a grin, "Bye." He and Sarah left.

"Did you give her the chalice?" Morgan asked

"Yeah, she says thanks."

The next day seemed to go incredibly slowly. If Keaira had been younger she would have thought someone had cast a time spell just to spite her. Of course now she knew there was no such thing as a time spell, and liked to think the evil doers in the world had slightly bigger fish to fry than a Wiccan teenager from Ireland. But perhaps she just wasn't giving herself and her "lineage" enough credit. After all, she came from, biologically at least, one of the most evil families in Wiccan history, or at least recent history. And her adoptive family also had links to evil and great power. Sometimes she wished she could have been born into a normal family, with her biggest worries being what career she would pick after University, then she saw the wonders of the Goddess and realised how bland her life would be if she wasn't Wiccan. And she still had the worries of her career to think about. If she passed her GCSE's this year, that would still be another 2 years of A-levels before she got to University. After that she had no clue, she knew she wanted to lead a coven, but apart from that, she didn't know.

She studied for a few hours, with the extra motivation of passing at Yule. Then she sat, looking out her window for a while. She felt melancholy, and she wasn't sure why. Something just wasn't... right. She decided to go for a walk, to clear her head. Then she could see Kai and they could make plans for this coming Saturday's circle. It would have to be interesting and carefree, to settle everyone's nerves from last week. She pulled on a coat then ran down the stairs, two at a time. The air was sharp and cold, but it rejuvenated her immediately. She decided she was most likely just tired from studying so much.

As she walked along the road -the village being to small to have main paths- she saw two familiar people walking towards her. It was Forrester and Ally, they were deep in conversation but once they saw her they smiled brightly.

"Hi," Forrester said.

"Hey," Ally said, a broad smile on her face. "How are you?"

"I'm ok," Keaira said, with a nod, "Just a bit, you know, tired or something."

They exchanged a glance, "Oh, I always feel like that around autumn."

"Hey, I was wondering if you'd like to join Birkita's circle this Saturday? I'm sure everyone would love to have a different take."

"I can't, sorry," Forrester said, with a quick look at Ally.

"Oh... alright."

"I'd love to come," Ally said, beaming once more, "It's be really fun."

"Ok, well I think it's at Melissa's house this week, Leah has her address."

"Thanks."

They smiled at each other once more, then continued their separate ways. When Keaira got back to her house, Kai was waiting in the kitchen with Hunter.

"Hey, how are you?" He asked, sweetly.

"I'm alright, thanks, want to go for a drive?"

"Sure, bye Hunter."

"Have fun!" Hunter said, with a laugh, as they went out.

Before they got into the car Kai said, "Oh, I saw Ally coming out of your garden tonight, when I arrived. She'd been calling for you, to ask you something about the circle on Saturday. She said you'd invited her."

"Yeah I did, that's ok isn't it?"

"Of course," he said, getting in. Keaira followed suit.

"Kai," she said, a frown on her face, "When was that?"

"Um... ages ago, about five-ish? When I got in your dad said you'd just gone out."

Keaira nodded, she'd gone out a little before five. Which meant she had passed Ally a little before five too. "Why would she go to my house?"

"Sorry?"

"I'm thinking out loud. It's just, when I went out I saw her and Forester, that's when I invited them, but that was just after I'd left, about five. Why would she go to my house when she knew I was out?"

Kai frowned but shrugged. "No idea. Perhaps she thought you'd be back."

"Maybe." Keaira still had that feeling that something wasn't right.


A/N ok, by the time I finished this it was Thursday, and I started on Sunday. Sorry, I'm a terrible writer. Please review anyway. lol
