A few days later, Raf was healing well. He wouldn't let me take the pain away or let me put a healing spell on it claiming he likes the scar. He hasn't told his parents and he's missed two lacrosse practices. He keeps telling me he's fine when I know he's not. This is what I was afraid of, if we got involved he could get hurt. Heck, he did get hurt.

I was wearing jeans with a grey sweater. I also wore white shoes that I prayed didn't get dirty today. I braided my hair and put a white bandana on top then tied it in the back, I decided to let the pieces of hair fall to the side.

I got a text from Scott saying that we're meeting at Deatons. I asked him if he needed a ride and he said he wouldn't be opposed. I grabbed my bag and headed out. Both Maya and Logan were at my grandmothers.

I got to Scott's house and he hopped in my car. I started driving to Deatons.

"Do you have anything on Jackson?"

"He was buying tickets for the secret rave," he paused and turned towards me, "but he spooked the girl selling the tickets and they left."

"Weird. You think he's going to do something?"

"Can't be sure, but we're going to Deatons to be safe."

We got to Deaton's he was kind, we shook hands and introduced ourselves. This was my first time here but the vet already seemed to be familiar with me. I think Scott already told him what I am, or maybe he knew before any of them. When Derek came, Deaton went somewhere out of sight. Derek also brought Isaac which caused a bit of awkwardness.

We were circled around an operating table.

Scott squinted his eyes at Isaac. "What's he doing here?"

"I need him," Derek said almost muttering.

"I don't trust him," Scott countered.

Isaac scoffed. "Yeah, well, he doesn't trust you guys, either."

Derek stood up. "You know what? And Derek doesn't really care." He said sarcastically. "Now, where's the vet? Is he gonna help us, or not?"

"That depends." We all turned to see Deaton standing in between a doorway. "Your friend, Jackson. Are we planning to kill him, or save him?"

"Kill him," Derek said

"Save him," Scott said.

I shrug. "Curse him," I offered.

We all said those words at the same time causing Isaac and Deaton to give us confused looks. Scott looked at me and then Derek.

"Save him," Scott said baffled at our response to Deaton. He turned to Deaton. "Save him," he said confidently.

Isaac leaned on the metal table and started looking at Deatons glass jars filled with multiple things. He looked up at me for a moment and I realize I have been staring. I quickly advert my eyes anywhere but his.

"Watch what you touch," the doctor warned.

Isaac looked up at him. "So, what are you, some kind of witch?"

"No. I'm a veterinarian." He pointed at me, "but she's a witch." I smiled awkwardly. So he did know somehow. I will have to ask Scott about that. I can't have time going around telling people what I am. "Unfortunately, I don't see anything here that's going to be an effective defense against a paralytic toxin."

Derek crossed his arms. "We're open to suggestions."

"What about an effective offense?" Isaac suggested.
