The Eye and the Eagle

Chapter One

You know that feeling when you hold your breath too long underwater. Well that's what it feels like when I get a vision. My vision goes black and I see things as an observer.  Oh! Sorry! I'm getting ahead of myself. My name is Evelyn Atwater And I'm 17 years old. I'm a hybrid half witch half werewolf. Like my twin brother Elijah. But nobody except My aunt, my twin, knows that. We have to wear special rings that suppress our wolves. We can both shift but we never do. I have not taken off the ring in 16 years. It magically resizes to fit on my pointer finger.  We have no idea what the wolves would do if they found out. And our parents know that so they sent us to live with our Aunt Aurelia's coven. Even Aunt Aurelia's coven doesn't know. To the outside world we are a very  powerful witch and Wizard which technically we are. And it has to stay that way. Twins are always more powerful. The funny thing with twins is that our souls are bound. Meaning that to kill us you would have to kill us both. If you tried to kill one of us we wouldn't die.  Auntie has been having a lot of meetings with the wolves lately. About the vampires. The vampires have been declaring war on the wolves. Usually the witches don't like to get involved in wolf and vampire business. But some of the black witches joined the vampires.  Suddenly my brother throws the door open. We found the location of a few of the dark witches. Get dressed in your battle gear. Oh and Auntie wants you to try to vision them. They are in the drawing room. I quickly changed into my battle gear and grabbed my knives and got them strapped in. I gripped my falchion sword and buckled it on my belt along with five ninja stars. I walked over to my jewelry box of magical things disguised as jewelry and grabbed my two bracelets. They look like snakes but they are enchanted to shapeshift into any weapon I may need. They are also virtually indestructible. Lastly I reach into the box and pick out a necklace with a baton pendant. If I need it I reach up and run my fingers down it. Then It detaches and becomes an extendable baton. And I know what you're thinking, a baton. Those things that the police have. No this is a long thin, metal one. Instead of a short thick metal police issue one. Mine can extend to over six feet. I quickly braid my hair to keep it out of my face. I look into the mirror. And see my obsidian black hair, and almond shaped violet eyes. Yes my eyes are actually violet. Me and Elijah aren't identical but we look a lot alike. We have the same eyes and hair color. And most of the same facial features. The only real difference is that he is six inches taller than my 5'8 and a half making him 6'1. I walk straight over to my closet and take out a pair of high heeled boots. Well technically the heels are detachable spikes I can use if I run out of options. They also help with climbing. But due to my mother and fathers bloodline Eli and I can levitate and can jump at least six feet in the air on our own. We have a lot of mage blood in our bloodline. Matched with the agility of wolves. So basically special hybrid blood. I throw on the boots and walk to the drawing room. suddenly I'm hit with a vision I had exactly one minute till my vision goes black. I see something of course Auntie puts up a barrier spell. To make sure no one can eavesdrop. I run as fast as i can and run through the barrier quickly ran to my aunt. I only have twenty seconds. I feel everyone look at me and some say my name but it's blocked by the images.  It's a trap, don't go to find them, it's a trap. I say before I fall backwards into someone's strong arms before everything goes black. And just like that I'm holding my breath underwater again.

Zach's pov
I'm not usually a fan of witches but Auralia Atwater's coven is run the right way. Me, my beta and a few of my higher ups are sitting in what she called the drawing room. When a young guy about eighteen walks through the barrier. Sorry I'm late Auntie he says to Aurelia. I notice that he has a full on british accent. Elijah Atwater I taught you punctually. I'm late because I was waiting for Evie. Oh now that makes sense. She answers. The guy is a little strange with obsidian black hair and violet eyes and he stands about 6'1. If you don't know me I'm Elijah Atwater. He walked up to me and held out his hand. I give a small smile and shake his hand. He shakes hands with my men before he looks up with a strange look on his face. Who are we waiting for Aurelia I ask. My twin answers Elijah. She's the one who has the sight. The sight? I ask. It's a rare witch power. He replied. It just means that the user can see any event past, present or future. He says. She's running down the hall now. He says. How do you know that? I ask. All twins born as witches are much more powerful than regular borne beings, something called a twin bond. It's similar to a mate bond just without the tattoos. Even if the twins are born to a low power family they will still be more powerful than a regular born. But me and my sister were born into a bloodline that shares a lot of mage blood. And that makes us the most powerful twins existing. Elijah's voice isn't boastful, it's factual. Just then the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. The feminine version of Elijah. With obsidian hair and violet eyes. But her face is heart shaped. She runs through the barrier. And runs next to Aurelia and says it's a trap don't find them it's a trap. I realize that she also has a british accent. Shit! she's having a vision  Elijah says. Evie! Her aunt shouted as she stumbled and fell backwards. I flung out my arms just in time to catch her. But as her smooth porcelain skin touched mine, my forearm burned. Her hand glowed purple for just a few seconds it was so fast that I assumed I imagined it. Suddenly my wolf became restless. He spoke in my head saying MINE. MINE! MATE!  I didn't make a sound out loud. But inside I was freaking the fuck out. How can a witch be my mate? Since everyone was staring at me and her I decided to speak. Where do you want me to put her? Well for starters you can get your arms off my baby sister. By  five Bloody minutes she protested. I looked at her taking in her violet eyes. And Elbow length obsidian hair. I quickly set her on her feet. She stands at about 5'8 Those Bloody five minutes really are killing you, replied Elijah. No, she protested. Evie said to Aurelia what did you mean by don't find them trap. I had a vision of  the location of the dark witches you guys tracked. But the problem was that the vampires had the witches go there so they could ambush us. Since they can't find our coven. They were going to lure us finished Elijah. Exactly. It takes me a minute to realize that she's wearing tight leather with knives, swords, and ninja stars strapped to thighs and buckled in a belt. What do you propose? My Beta Jason asked. Everyone can tell he is bouncing on his feet. Impatient to leave. So American can't wait, gotta do it right now take the bull by the horns. Evie mocks. Well hold your bulls. Horses said Elijah. What says Evie. Evie the saying is hold your horses. Though I haven't the foggiest idea of why the saying has anything to do with horses. I propose that we surprise them. They were actually surprisingly using human technology. In my vision they had an alarm on the barrier. What if me and Lijah open a hole in the barrier but spell it so they don't know? Because if we open a hole then technically we are not breaking it down.  But I also propose an invisibility spell that way they won't know which way we came from. Or get out because of the barrier spell.  But another problem is the lazers Elijah spoke. Hey! Stop! Reading my mind! But to answer your question Lijah they won't be a problem.  And an even bigger problem is getting to their vault. Why? Asked my wolves. Cause they have keys to warehouses where they make silver weapons. Answered Evie. Lucky they can't mine Iron anymore. Yeah we kinda put a stop to that, said Elijah.  Alright so the wolves would all need to wear a ring or necklace that would make them invisible. To the dark witches but visible to everyone in the coven. Most of my wolves looked slightly confused, but I guess her plan makes sense. Well as much sense as it can. Wolves don't really understand magic. Evie and Elijah put their hands up and said adducere aurum. A solid block of gold came out of nowhere.
