Teen Witch; Stiles Stilinski [1]

CHAPTER 4

Cassie was laying on her stomach on her bed, going through her biological mother's grimoire. Obviously she had processed that she was a witch seven years ago, she just couldn't believe that her mom was a witch as well. The grimoire was a bit heavy due to the amount of pages in it but it didn't matter to Cassie. It just meant more to learn. She found it so fascinating that she came from a whole bloodline of witches, as well as the spells and potions that were in there.

Locator spells, love potions, truth potions, telekinesis spells, fire spells, resurrection spells, magical herbs, healing spells/potions, floatation spells, etcetera. It was all so amazing and almost unbelievable that she was a witch.

She wanted to practice some spells but definitely not in her room where she doesn't have a lock on her doorknob. So, when she wanted to practice, she would tell her parents that she's going out with some friends. Of course they didn't question it and were proud of her for making friends since they've known she's had social anxiety for a while. But of course because of her social anxiety, in reality she only has one friend, Allison.

She went out into the woods with her biological mom's grimoire and tried to find some dead flowers, which were a lot harder than she thought. She eventually did find some dead flowers on the ground after 15 minutes of just walking and decided she wanted to practice one of the spells she saw on it.

"Healing spell, healing spell, healing spell, aha! Healing spell used specifically for plants."

She took a deep breath as she dug her fingers in the dirt and began to recite the spell.

"Sana planta."

She concentrated on reviving the plant and saw that the petals were slowly becoming more and more full of life.

"Practicing some spells huh?"

She jumped out of concentration and the petals lit on fire and burned them into ashes before the fire slowly died.

"Holy shit!" She yelled out as the petals burned to ashes. She looked behind her and saw Derek Hale with an amused smirk on his face.

"See, that's what happens when you lose concentration."

"You made me lose my concentration," she muttered bitterly.

"No, you should've stayed focused on the flowers. Try again and don't lose focus."

She sighed and dug her hands into the dirt again. "sana planta."

Pink and orange ombré petals started growing slowly from the stem as the stem started regaining it natural green color.

She felt something dripping from one of her nostrils but ignored it as she concentrated on the flowers. The liquid was now coming out from both of her nostrils and she was getting more and more dizzy. As if doing this one, simple spell was draining her energy.

When the flowers were alive and colorful, Cassie quickly removed her fingers from the dirt and almost fainted from the lack of energy she had, luckily Derek had caught her.

"Why am I so dizzy?"

"You're not just dizzy but your nose started bleeding too." She raised her hand up to her nose and wiped the liquid away. She saw the crimson colored blood on her hand.

"Why did that happen?"

"I guess the more concentration you put in that spell, the more energy it took away from your body."

"So let me guess, I have to train my body to get used to these types of spells so that it won't take away as much energy."

"Yeah, pretty much," he replied, helping her stand up. She stumbled a bit but he caught her again. "You good?"
