Can a single person alter the course of fate, or is fate an unchangeable aspect of our existence, permanently inscribed within our souls?
Secrets, mystery, and aloneness are three simple words that describe the Gemini Coven. Members...

WARNING SMUT AHEAD
Down you trickle into darkness, fading into nothingness with sins you carry. Lost in your head, blinded by love.
AUTUMN'S POV
"I'm okay."
Kai didn't believe me; as persistent as I was, it was as if my words went from one ear out the other. He grabs my face, searching my eyes for any signs of dishonesty and found none.
Letting go of my face with a shake to his head, he makes his way to the fridge, fixing us some drinks.
Maybe I was getting good at lying. I mean - with all the secrets I've kept would it be such a surprise? Not really which only breaks my heart. Remember Autumn, they aren't your secrets to tell.
"Here you go." He hands me a can of coca cola, "Turn that frown upside down." Kai sings, reaching his hand to poke the corner of my lips, arching one side for me. "You're making it really hard to believe you're actually okay."
I send him a small smile and open my drink, swallowing some soda and feeling its fizziness hit straight up my nose. I rub my nose in distaste, "I am. I'm happy you're here."
Kai's brows knit, eyes burning into my soul. He sighs, placing his drink down. "Is it about your magic? It'll come soon enough."
No that's not why I'm upset, but sure, you can believe that. How can I tell him about my dream? How I was attacked - how he was covered in blood chasing me? How my brother found me on the side of the road passed out?
I couldn't. He seems so happy, glowing even.
"I don't think I'll ever get my magic back." I look at my drink. "I'm being rejected by nature every single day. I don't know if I'm mad anymore - upset - numb."
Kai placed his hand over mine. "When I'm coven leader, I'll get your magic back even if I have to fight those dead gemini freaks in the process." Voice half serious - half playful, lifting my spirits by his silliness.
"I'll hold you to it."
We exchange smiles before turning to the TV and enjoying our drinks. Rugrats, a show that brings me joy, was on. Watching a bunch of toddlers create mayhem can be calming.
Kai laughs at some parts, pointing at the TV like it's the best thing he's ever seen. He placed an arm around me, pulling me close to him. It always makes my heart skip a beat, being this close to him, to look up at him from under his nose.
I rest my head on his chest, gazing at the screen with tired eyes. I never realized how draining sadness can be. No, stop - you're with Kai, so stop being so sad. But I can't. I keep thinking about the dream. . .I keep thinking what if it meant something? And if it did, I need Kai's help to figure it out.
