The Light Within

Coming Together

Third Person POV

Layla Neveah Havardr, is the leader for her clan, the Havardr Clan. Her best friend is Zinnia Sasha Edwards. She is also a leader of the Edwards Clan. They have lived peaceful together, never getting into wars or battles.

But now, they are going to a new type of hell, high school. They've been there before, but, it's a werewolf school. All witches and werewolves in one place, together.

"Layla, why the fuck do we have to go to school with these people?" Zinnia asked. She hated being picked on and her powers often flared.

"We have to go because the law now says that we have to. They don't really have the money anymore for separate schools." Layla said. She was the more calmer one. She hide most of Zinnia's powers so they won't get that much attention.

"I hope that they know that we won't be hiding anymore. Our clans will be known as the ones who keep peace." Zinnia said. There was a roar behind them. It was their clans agreeing.

Layla just humed in agreement. She was tired of hiding. She wanted to be free and find her one true love. All of them did.

Layla's POV

I hated that we have to go to this school. Our clans are powerful, but, we are always put down because we try to avoid fighting. We figured that magick is better used for healing rather than war.

"Layla, you have a mutt looking at you." Zinnia told me. I turned my head to look and the wolf looked back to his girlfriend. I know I'm his mate. "Do you even know who that is Layla?"

"Yes. That is Kade Hale Draydon. Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. His rival is Xander Jai Black the alpha of the Black Moon Pack. They both want power and want a good Luna." I finished smug.

She looked at me with playful hatred and shoved me. "Well, it looks like he is growling at me. He can leave my virgin sister alone. I'm still a virgin, but he was over there kissing another girl for crying out loud."

"It doesn't matter what he does. He just proved that he doesn't want me. But, I want to know if we are going to do a magick contest, like they usually do."

"Yeah, Layla they probably are, but, let's wait till we get to the gym. They'll tell us then."

When we got to the gym, all the seats were taken. So, we sat on the floor. It didn't bother us.

"Welcome everyone to Falls High School. We would like to carry on the witches tradition of a magick contest. Now will all the witches that want to compete, come up here." Dean Sanders said.

Most of the regulars go up there and Zinnia pushed me to go up there. Brittany Blair is up there also. Fun.

"It looks like little emo decided to show us what the baby has. She is so pathetic." Brittany made everyone but our clan laugh. My own damn mate laughed at me.

"Kick their asses, Layla. Show'em whose top witch around here." Zinnia had to yell. Everyone in our clan yelled. That boosts my confidence by like, a lot.

"Okay. The first match is Layla and Brittany."

We went outside, seeing magick can be quite destructive. She got into a poor fighting stance and all I did was make an unnoticeable movement that only my clan can see.

I examined her. Her balance is off, she can only bend one element as most clans except for the Original three.

She threw fire at me and that was very weak. I thought that this would be fun. I dodged it and trapped her in ice. For a fire user you would have thought that she could melt her way out. But, that wasn't the case.

"Well, this is lame. It's a lot more boring than I expected. Why the hell does she keep winning?" I asked. Everyone in my clan looked ashamed that, that was my opponent. I was too.

"That's because she is the best and strong. But, now, I'm not so sure. You didn't even get to fight." Zinnia told me. That was true. But, now, my mate is looking at me.

"The winner is Layla Havardr." Dean Sanders announced. He put on some music and we were supposed to chill the rest of the day.

"Hello. My name is Kade Draydon. It's a pleasure to meet you little mate." So, now he has the nerve to talk to me.

"When? Before or after I beat Brittany? I'm pretty sure I'm not your type. So maybe when you are over your player self, then we can talk." I wasn't going have this shit.

"You better watch it bitch. It's my alpha who you're talking to." A mutt replied to me.

"You better watch it, mutt. I'll show you whose a bitch." Kade laughed at that. My heart swelled. Xander then decided to show up with his group of friends.

"Layla, is this Xander Jai Black?" Zinnia asked. I nodded.

He turned to me and glared. "Low lives like you shouldn't be around my mate. Now, leave."

Zinnia is going to have his head. "Listen, just because you're my mate, doesn't make you my father! She has been there for me for everything, even my own family wasn't there for me. So, you can leave if you aren't happy with her." She snapped at him. That's my rebellious sister.

"What the hell is wrong with these clans and packs? They value who is on top and not the family part. They value electronics and not being together." I mumbled. Everyone heard me, I already know. "It saddens me to see that everyone wants power and money. But, once you have it-"

Zinnia picked it up quickly. "-what will you have then? You'll only have yourself. Whenever you die, those things don't go with you. They have no meaning.-"

"That's why the Havardr Clan and the Edwards Clan are taught that you can have everything, but you won't be happy. All you need in life is love and family. No one is ever left behind, that's not what family does. Blessed be." Both clans finished. We all are family. We call each others brothers, sisters, mom, dad, ect.

"You guys are a bunch of babies. You have to have money or else you're nothing." Abby Lynch, a werewolf, said.

"I don't have time for bitches, Layla. She better go away or I'm going to beat a bitch and quit hiding our powers!" I dropped my guard and everyone but us gasped.

"They are the two of Original Three! I can't believe it. I finally get to meet the most powerful witch clans in the universe." Said some girl.

"You are correct, but may I know your name?" I said. She looks familiar.

"Oh, sorry. My name is Julia Owens. I'm the adopted sister of Kade." I can't believe it.

"Jule, its me Zinny and Lay." Her eyes went wide and she squealed and hugged us. This is the best coming together. Ever.
