Amanda POV

This night was turning into something really creepy. Watching Cassie, Deborah, Max, Lexie and Chris all scream and squirm with white eyes was the freakiest thing I had ever seen. Then the flies. Oh my gosh the flies. Seeing them poor out of every orifice of the witches' faces was just disgusting. I watched them circle the fire like a tornado then shot hop and nosedived right into the fire. The popping and smoke that came from the fire was nothing compared to vomit smell that came immediately after they met their fate in the fire. I buried my face in Nick's chest and let the smell of his cigarettes engulf me. The gagging noises that came from the others was enough for me to throw up in my mouth a little. I was completely grossed out. I lifted my head and looked at Deborah and she seemed ok. So did the others. They got up without a problem though the seemed a little out of it they were ok. I looked up at Nick and his dark eyes had a look of concern to them and I could tell that he had the same feeling I did. This was just the beginning. He hugged me close to him and was about to say something when we heard a noise. It was a humming. It was a sweet melody that was quite relaxing. I felt myself drawn into the melody feeling somewhat mellow and extremely happy. Nick nudged me he had a dopey kind of look on his face and I giggled "look do you see that?" he pointed toward the fire and there was strange glow coming from beside the fire. It was an iridescent pearly white smoke type substance with swirls of purples and green that was spiraling up from what seemed to be the ground but it wasn't. It was coming from the crystal moon. The pearly smoke made its way to the tip of the flames and started to take shape as it hovered over the blazing fire. It was turning into the shape of a man with a long white beard, warm eyes, wearing a cloak and carrying a walking stick. "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" nick asked looking astonished. I just nodded I was too in awe of the purity and goodness that was radiating off of the smoke. "what is it?" he asked. "White Morris" I stated. "That guy looks like Dumbledore" Doug blurted out "owe" he said when Suzan punch him in the arm. When White Morris' shape was complete his hazy figure slowly spun around to look at every single one us. There was an echoing sound as White Morris started to speak "My 7th generation children you are strong and powerful. You have rid your circle of all that is evil leaving you all with pure hearts and I am very pleased" he pronounced in a strange deep yet comforting voice. "It is all of your destinies to remain good at heart. Though some of you" he looked at Faye "may act like you possess a mean spirit, you are good in your soul and over time, you will let that goodness shine". Faye scowled and Deborah giggled. "You all have suffered great loss, have persevered and have grown into the most powerful coven the earth has ever seen. Nicholas," White Morris said turning toward Nick whose mahogany eyes were as wide as I have ever seen "you out of every one else has grown the most. You faced your past, accepted the present and are making plans for a bright future without fear in your heart. After all of this time you are finally at peace with who you are. Your parents were the bravest I have ever seen until now." Nick smiled awkwardly. Everyone else looked at Nick with pride in their eyes and I just held his hand tightly. "when love presented itself to you, you did not run. You embraced it and allowed it to mold you into who you were always meant to be. Amanda, my dear granddaughter, I am very proud of you. You have shown how tough you are and how sensitive you are. You embraced the Black Circle with such ease and reminded me so much of your mother in doing so." I looked at him shocked. He bellowed a laugh "Yes I have been keeping an eye on you, on all of you in anticipation of the coming of this day. Amanda, you were faced with a decision, a decision that should have been tough, when it was suggested that magic be used to weaken the connection you have with Nicholas." Everyone in the circle gasped. The only person who knew about this was Sammy. "for you, the decision was not a hard one. You immediately chose love over life. You are proving yourself to be stronger that you think" he stated and I saw Deborah flash me an I told you so look from across the fire and I smiled. "I must admit that the destiny of you and Nicholas was not written as a strong one it was meant only for you to meet and bring the circles together." Nick flashed an alarming look at me and I nodded towards him to continue to listen to White Morris. I had a feeling that what he was saying was not bad at all "Everything else was all you two. The love that you share is pure and did not happen because of any prophecy. It happened because it was meant to be not because your ancestors decided so. I certainly didn't expect you to be so intensely connected, so strong and so quickly. Yesterday that bond was sealed when you set your future together in motion and I cannot be more pleased to see that two of the strongest families are uniting as one and staying in this magical place together" I have never seen Nick blush until now. His tan face started to get a pink tone to his sculptured face and he almost looked little boy like. "what do you mean united as one?" Faye blurted out here Amber eyes narrowing "later" Diana whispered to her. White Morris continued "Now that your circle is pure and Black and White has united there can be no Gray. For in the Gray lies resentment, jealous, anger, fear and is fueled by a fire of revenge. Find the virtue that is yours and yours alone and you can defeat the Gray. If you do not defeat the Gray the purity of your Circle will be no more". And with that a huge gust of wind came and blew White Morris and the fire out. The glow from the crystal moon was gone and we were left sitting on the dark on the beach. "Everyone think of fire" Nick said with authority. I thought of fire the bouncing flames, the heat, the popping noise, the smell of the smoke and all of a sudden the fire was roaring again.
