Promises from a Forswearer. The Hemerwig Series.

Ch. 9-Returns

My poor, sweet baby. Now you are going to read from Caleb's POV. After him I'm sure Thalia will jump in. Hopefully.

Caleb's POV

"How in the world did you lose my sister," Sage asks for the twentieth time as we walk into my house. I take a deep breath and try not to strangle Sage. He's my mate's brother after all. I've dealt with my inner wolf through the whole ride and now he's giving me the silent treatment. That's just Most of the pack members follow and Grams holds out a pan of cookies. "Here," she says and I grab one off the pan. It's still hot but I don't care. "It's not my fault okay! She left with some witch," I growl.

"The correct term is wizard," Aston says and I give him a look. Does he really have time to correct me? "I need maps. I need books. I need coffee. I need pencils. I need all people under twelve and over 20 out. Deal," I ask and Sage pouts. "You're lucky that I'm nine," he grumbles. "Come on Sage! Leave the screw up who lost his mate and come play with me," Claire says and that kills me on the inside. I did screw up.

"Alright that's enough. Let's do as the Beta says," Dalton says and everyone I asked leaves. "I'll get the stuff you wanted," Zeke says and starts to look for the items. "I'll be right back," I say and go upstairs to grab the file. Maybe something is in here. When I come back downstairs, I see Aston looking through a few books with Vienna rubbing his shoulders. Josella and Zeke come in with more supplies and set them on the table. Sylvia and Jonathan are leaning against the wall unsure of what to do.

"Jon and Sylvia you two don't have to be here if this is making you uncomfortable. You're not even members of the pack," I say noticing their lack of comfort. "Well we want to help it's just that..," Sylvia trails off. "We have no idea what to do," Jon says while finishing Sylvia's sentence.

"I think we've got it guys. I'll probably be joing you soon anyway. There's only so much of reading that I can take," Josella says. "You go to school during the summer. Don't you read there," Zeke asks while sitting on the ground. "That has interesting stuff dealing with the arts. No offense but this stuff isn't in my league," Josella admits.

"Don't worry about it. Whatever help you can give, I'll appreciate. Just read up on witches and wizards and the following questions. What could they want with Thalia? What do they do with werewolves? How do we get to their dimension," I list off. I look around and everyone starts to dive into the books.

"How do we know he even wanted Thalia? She could just be a bargaining piece," Aston comments. "Keep going," I say while opening a book on werewolves and witches. I skim through the brief history on both creatures before Aston says, "Here it says that the only person who knows the witches real motive is that witch herself."

"I also have that Witches train their kids at young ages. I don't know how useful that could be but I have a picture of a classic school uniform. This looks like the bad Halloween costume the boy was wearing," Zeke says while handing me a book. That's definitely what the boy was wearing. I growl and crack my knuckles. Thalia is probably scarred out of her mind right now and it's all my fault. I wish I could be doing something physical to get her back but I know that is impossible. I would just be going purely on blind emotions. When I find that boy I'm going to rip him to shreds.

Thalia's POV

"This is so cool," I exclaim as Ayden walks me around the school. I see kids using magic and everything is hectic. I wish I could do some of this stuff. "It's kinda boring when you see it every day but I'm glad it's taking your mind off of that dude," Ayden says. Is this what high school plus magic is like?
