Klaus's Pet Book 1

41

Hayley's POV:

I get a bouquet of flowers from the vendor. I hand her the $20 and tell her to keep the change. Hope looks from the stand to the flowers and her face falters.

"What's wrong?" I ask her concerned
"The flowers are dying. It's okay. I can fix it." She says excited

I scan around to make sure nobody is watching and I give her the okay. She focuses and I watch as the colors of the flowers become brighter and the once bent and broken stems are restored.

"Wow honey that was awesome!" I say and give her a high five

"You're daughter is quite powerful." A woman says from the left side

"My name is Evelyn a fellow witch." She says

I jump a little. I didn't hear her walk over.

I look from the stranger to my daughter.

Evelyn has her hand out for us to shake but Hope looks uncomfortable and I don't move. I feel a chill go down my spine.

"Thank you. Come on let's go home honey." I say

We walk down the street. I look behind me and the woman is gone.

I pick up Hope and speed back to the compound.

I put Hope to bed and start to doze off when a scream jolts me out of bed.

It's Hope.

I run down to her bedroom as fast as I can. Klaus is already there sitting on the bed with her, holding her in a long hug.

I watch as he wipes tears from her eyes and tells her that everything will be okay.

He plants a kiss on her forehead then walks out of the room and closes the door behind him.

"Did you meet a woman named Evelyn?" He asks concern in his voice
"Yeah. She gave me a weird feeling so I took Hope home."
"She just told me that this woman was in her nightmare."

I think about this for a long moment.

"Do you think something like that is accidental?" I ask
"I haven't dealt with circumstances where a witch did something like that unintentionally. That type of work requires focus. This was a warning. Hope isn't safe."

Freya sets up a strong barrier spell as well as a cloaking spell for Hope. We all take shifts guarding.
