Coven

2 men

I held Grace in my arms, her soft raven black hair, tickling my cheek and her warm, delicate hands holding mine. I heard her breathing even out and saw she was asleep. I tightened my hold of her and closed my eyes, I began to drift off when I heard a noise outside. I quietly moved away from grace and snuck outside to see what it was. I popped my head out of the hole in the tree and saw shadows through the willow vines.

2 men stood with hunting rifles, they wore old worn out clothes with the colours of brown, black and green. They had rough beards both brown and long hair, they both wore a fishing hat and had a piercing look in their eye. They where looking around,
"Where do ya think they went?"
"If I knew I would be there, wouldn't I?"
"Well we need to find 'em, otherwise the boss is gonna be pissed." The shorter one said and spat out something brown and disgusting.
"Are you sure it was a witch?" Said the taller one,
"Positive, she was the spittin image of the new witch we are targeting."
"Shit, well we lost 'em. Come on, they got to be somewhere." The two men began to walk back to a rusty orange truck. They opened the door and started the engine, it's roaring sound was unhealthy. They turned around and drove off.

This was bad, so very, very bad! They were hunting her down! Witch hunters. I had to warn Cordelia and Grace. I dropped down and ran to the room to find Grace still perfect and asleep. I didn't want to wake her but this was a matter of life. I scooped her up in my arms and walked to the tree and gently put her over my shoulder, and began to climb to tree.

10 minutes later I was in the car and driving back to the academy, it was getting dark now, I hadn't realised how long we had been down there. I began to swerve in and out of cars and drove so fast if I took a turn wrong it would end badly, very badly.

Grace's POV

I was in a dark yet beautiful daze, the warmth from Kyle was causing my mind to go fuzzy, but then it had disappeared, I was about to wake up when it had returned. I had felt as if someone was carrying me and now I felt as if I was on a fast swaying ship. I slowly opened my eyes to see traffic flying past me, I turned to see Kyle driving fast and concentrating with all his might.

"Kyle? Why are you going so fast?" He took a sharp turn. "At the tree there were some hunters, they were looking for you."
"Me? Why, I have nothing to do with hunting."
"You do when you're the prey, which is what you are Grace, they were witch hunters." A knot tightened itself in my stomach and I suddenly felt sick. Witch hunters! I was screwed. I had read about them, it had said they were ruthless, and wouldn't stop hunting you unless;
•You were proven to be human,
•Died by a different cause (but they would still stab you or shoot you, for good measure.)
•The main leader told them to leave it,
•Or you killed them before they killed you.

"Shit... We have to tell Cordelia."
"That's my plan, I need to get to her before any hunters do, then she can plan and protect you."
"And the others." I added and he smiled,
"Maybe not Madison?" I giggled but slapped his arm lightly, "hey not funny, yeah she is a bitch but we need to be strong , until the hunters leave at least." He nodded and sped up even more.
