Together we're better.

making a plan

Mia's POV

After the death of my coven, I married the man who betrayed me. I knew if I didn't I would follow behind them the moment my son was born. I wasn't afraid to die. I was afraid of what they would do to my son. I managed to convince Kyle that Luna wasn't gifted.

Every morning I slip a power blocker into his food. Making his gifts lie dormant. I feel like a failure as a mother. Hiding my son's true self from him. Kyle the mean son of a b***h became a monster. There's no end to his cruelty.

I don't even see the boy, I was once in love with. Some days I wonder if he ever was that boy. I have suffered greatly at his hands. One day I will leave him. I will take Luna and teach him the ways of our people.

As I watch the girls both strive with great determination to master their gifts. I feel hope for our future. They're both so young and in just matter a of few weeks. They have lost everything but, they still strive for greatness.

Avery came here a woman determined. She was a natural and she was blessed with the gift of resurgence. It's a very rare gift. Her mother was the only witch born in our coven with it. She can travel to the other side and drag a soul back. Her ability to see and read aura's allows her to see trouble coming miles away. She also has a gift with potions.

I believe she could be as great leader as her father was.

Emily was so lost in her grief. When she first arrived. I wondered if she'd be able to push through it when her grief turned into Anger. As witches we live freely, worship freely, and without judgement. But we do not hurt any living being.

No pagan worships the same but, we all believe strongly that what you put out comes back threefold. In order to connect with our gifts. We must first connect to a Diety, become one with mother earth, and seek Divinity.

That's impossible to do in a state of anger and a heart full of vengeance.

After a week of learning basic herbs. For both there healing and magic properties. I could see her frustrations grow. I began to think maybe I wouldn't be able to help her.

To my surprise though. She used her knowledge of herbs to help her calm and meditate. Discovering a rare gift one that takes many years to master. She has a strong psychic ability. Where Avery is a brick wall. Emily is full of love and passion. She reminds me so much of her Mother.

Merida was my teacher. She was like mother to me. She was my role model. So beautiful, I remember the first time I saw her and her husband Alden. I had never seen two people more perfect for each other. much like their daughters.

Alden was a strong and determined man. He wore a permanent poker face. You never knew what he felt or thought. It use to be intimidating as a child. Merida was light. So sweet and passionate. Blessed with Patience, beauty, and love.

As a child I would pray to Aphrodite the Goddess of beauty and love. That she would one day bless me with such beauty and love. Where I did grow to be beautiful with my long Raven hair, high cheekbones, full lips and green eyes. She did not bless me in love.

I leave the girls every afternoon to go home before my husband. He treats me like his personal slave. I've been victim not cruelty for so long. He has abused me I every way imaginable. I long for the day my son and me can escape.I long for the day I can teach Luna who he truly is.

As I walk up the drive I'm shocked to see his car is already in the drive. A wave of fear washes over me. I feel like a child waiting to be punished. Kyle loves to punish me. I'm a psychic always have been how did I not see the monster he was?

I make it to the front door and pray to Apollo for strength. As soon as I walk in the door I am grabbed roughly and thrown onto the floor.

" Where the f**k have you been?!?" He says as he pins my small body underneath his.

"I just went for a walk in the woods!" I yell through my sobs.

" All f*****g day? I took off around lunch and it's now 6pm. Do you take me for a fool??!" He snarls at me as he begins to choke the life out of me.

Out of the blue Kyle is thrown off me. I coughed,gasping for breath. It took a moment for me to regain my sense of awareness due to the lack of oxygen to my brain. The moment I did I realized Luna was trying to protect me but, Kyle was beating him.

I ran to the night stand and pulled out his gun. When I ran back I shot him right in the head. Surprisingly I felt nothing . No remorse for taking a life.

No pleasure from killing the man who killed my coven. The man who used and abused me.

"Mom, what did you do?!?" Kyle yells out.

"What I had to. He was never going to let us be free and you have no idea the thing he has taken from us." I tell him as I reach for him.

"Mom what are we going to do now?" He asks as tears stained his cheeks.

" We are going to be with our kind. Luna honey there are so many things I have been forced to hide from you. When we leave here I promise to tell you everything but, right now I need you to go to your room and pack only what you need and be quick." I tell him trying to keep my sweet calming mommy voice while at the same time adding a little urgency to it.

"Yes ma'am" his replies

I run to the closet and open the safe. Inside was ten grand along with his Grandmother's pearls, solid gold bracelets, necklaces, and rings. All his family heirloom valuables. I took it all. I grabbed a bag and tossed as much clothes as I could fit. I grabbed the box at the top of my closet. Where I had collected memories of Luna and that was the last thing of value in this house of horrors.

"Luna, are you ready!" I yelled down the hall.

"Yes Mom!" He yells back.

We throw our belongings in the car and head to the girls. As I drove I contemplated how I was going to tell Luna. He's been through so much. I don't want to overwhelm him. Monster or not that was still his father. I took the abuse I endured it but, him hurting my son. That was the last straw.

I hate this has to happen now, the girls are no where near ready. I had always planned to seek out help from the four supernatural kingdoms. I know witches are few and far. The legion has taken us out coven after coven. The ones who survived are in hiding. We are almost extinct.

I decided the safest place to go with the most protection would be to seek refuge from the Vampire king Jonathan knight. I know that sounds scary but, he's honestly a good man. He doesn't allow his people to feed off humans unless you are mated to one.

vampires are very old and insightful beings with the ability to into ones soul. They don't imprint like werewolves but, they are able to identify their perfect mate. He has the most resources and connections to the supernatural beings and I have inside information that might get them to come together to take out the legion once and for all. I am too nervous about meeting with the other rulers.

Odessa the queen of the Faye Is not one you want to ask favors. The price is always too high. She is ruthless and dark. Nothing like the cute cartoon fairies we grew up watching. They also worship the earth and have magical abilities but, they are tricky beings. Never to be trusted.

King Eros the ruler of the shape shifters. No one knows much about. No one even knows where they are located. Rumor has it they live among humans. Constantly on the move taking on the identity of their Poor victims. Taking over their lives for long periods of time. That is how they have managed to stay under the legions radar.

I think Jonathan will be able to help me get them in for a sit down. Him and the Faye are the oldest and most well connected of us all which is why the legion picks them off slowly and quietly. But, through Kyle's connections I know they have been training, preparing, and growing an army big enough to be able to take them all out. They're building their army it's time we build ours. It's time we stop hiding in the shadows waiting for our demise. If we stood together we could end this. Before it's too late.
