Forbidden Course

A little witch and a meltdown

Bodies stir all around us in each circle. Confused I ask, " You know what this is!?"I think she's going to answer me, but instead she's chanting in another language I don't understand. Her eyes blaze like liquid silver and I take a step back, but it's too late I'm pulled into an instant storm almost like I’m in the eye of a tornado with the little witch. Her fury is growing with each thunder strike. I fall to my knees expecting to be hurt, then I realize the girl isn't focusing her energy on me, but at the cave she's trying to make a way out. The thunder is striking the ceiling ...roof... I’m not sure but it doesn't seem to be working at this point she's screaming like a banshee putting all her will into her task. The sudden storm recedes as quickly as it came and like me the girl is on her knees, but with her head in her hands as she cries with sobs that rack her body. Sympathy overwhelms me as I crawl over and hug her to my body as she continues to cry on my shoulder. I look around and Dean, Juju, and a few unfamiliar faces from the DAY VAMP circle stare back at me, eyes wide in shock. As the girl's sobs stop I slowly release her and she no longer stutters." I'm sorry if I scared you I was trying to make a way out, but this place is bound with something ancient there's no way to escape." she says a little breathy. " My name is Mia, Mia Spink. I'm seventeen and yes, I'm a witch but after what I just did I doubt you need me to tell you. And I know what this is or rather I don’t, you see there are legends, scary stories if you will that I was told when I was little I just never believed them until now." My mind wanders at her words, legends? She was told stories? I stand and offer to help her up giving me time to find my voice again. " I don't think we have time to talk much right now, my team is waking up and so is yours. We'll talk again I promise, I’m just as scared as you are Mia and for what it's worth it's nice to meet you." My legs feel heavy as I make my way back to my team. The two others have awakened and they are huddled around Dean and Julia. The little blonde girl I left behind and a handsome guy about 6'1 with straight dirty blonde hair, he has a slim build with a muscular undertone and his eyes are the most piercing green I’ve ever seen. We lock eyes and I freeze, those piercing eyes regard me with slight hostility questioning am I friend or foe. I raise my hands in surrender and approach him. Matching his glare, I say, " Hey my name is Kara." could I be any lamer.
