Samantha Have you ever just looked at a parent and just see them? You notice things you never did before. That was me as I looked at my father, passed out on this bed, drunk. His face had aged, I noticed the fine lines around his eyes. I noticed the greys starting to scatter in his hair. When did my father suddenly get old? I know drinking can age someone, but when did my dad age like this? I just kept asking myself that as I watched him sleep. I was half paying attention to Colt and Uncle Peter. Then I heard about strengthening the protection being said. “Protection?” I asked looking over at Colt. “It appears the charm was made to be a witch's mark when it exploded. What I think was either whoever gave the charm wanted the favour to be the soul of who the charm was for.” Uncle Peter
