The Light Within

Halloween

Zinnia's POV

"Layla, are you ready for Sahmain at school today?"

"Of course! But, why are we going to move schools so far into the school year? I'm still trying to figure that out. We also have another clan coming. It's the Draven Clan."

"What do you know about them?"

"I'll tell you once I read The Book."

Xander and Kade walked over to us. "What's The Book?" Xander asks. Can he be anymore cute? I think not.

Layla answered since I really don't know. "The Book is a magickal book that if you ask it a question, then it turns to the page of the answer. It is passed down through the generations and every clan has one."

"You're like a walking encyclopedia." Xander told her smiling. Kade kissed the top of her head and Layla blushed.

"But, why don't I have mine?" I asked Layla.

"Maybe because you left it in my room. You always leave it in my room." She said as she grabbed hers.

"Meanie!" I said. I stuck my tongue out at her and she just laughed. We had our cloaks on over our dresses so that way the guys won't see until we get to school. We are having an all day Halloween party at school. If only they knew how important that is to us witches.

***********************************

"Can you please tell me about the Draven Clan?" Layla asked The Book. It turned to the page about them. She started reading. By this time we are in school and it's just Layla and me. Our mates are off somewhere.

"So, Lay, what does it say?"

"The Draven Clan is actually a werewolf and witches clan. Most of the people are rogues and the other packs and clans want them dead. They deal with level eight magick and the leader is Errick Draven. There is nothing else on them."

"Well, we finally have other smart witches. It's a sight to see." A new voice said.

"So, you are Errick Draven. It's a pleasure to meet you." Layla said pleasantly.

"Likewise, Layla. Such a beautiful name for a beautiful woman. But, if I were you, I'd ask where your mate is, both of you."

"Where is our mates and what are they doing?" The Book turned to a page. "They are on the other side of the gym kissing Adrian and Brittany." Welp, Layla looked mad. She got up and walked over there after taking off her cloak. It was very rarely that Layla got mad.

"What the hell do you think you are doing, mate?" She asked calmly, to calmly.

Kade and Xander whipped around and faced us. I was on the verge of tears. "Baby, I'm so-" Kade didn't even get to finish.

"Depluso!" He flew across the room. She has never used that spell before. She must really be mad. "You both have lost my trust. Let me see you come near me or my sister and you'll regret it." She then walked away.

"You both fucked up. You don't know how it is to lose your mate. Mine dies after she was attacked and we all have second chances. My second chance just walked away." My mouth fell open. Errick Draven is Layla's second mate. Kade growled at him. "Oh, Zinnia, you're second chance is coming in two days." With that he walked away to go to Layla.

"You can't possibly believe that, can you?" Xander asked me.

"I don't know what to believe. But, I know that Layla won't be with him. I already saw it." Kade looked relieved. "Just kidding, fate is tricky and when people change their minds so does their future."

"I don't remember what happened. All I know is that I went to get us drinks and then I blanked out." I motioned for them to follow me.

"Layla before you do anything else, I think they had a spell put on them."

"Great. Now I feel like I'm a bad person."

"Baby, I would have acted the same way. I don't blame you." Kade said to Layla. Xander just hugged me.

"Let me see your hand, Kade." Layla said. I grabbed Xander's hand and we both now know that they did have a spell put on them. What the hell?

"Xander, did those girls come up to you?" He nodded. I growled.

"Let's get going. I am not staying here all day. I'm going to end up killing some one." I told Layla.

"Let's go! We are going to have a dragon race." Both clans and both packs listened to Layla. I got excited. Ever since we found out the dragon spell, we had a dragon race. It became our Sahmain tradition.

***********************************

We got to a big field where we usually race. Most of just fly, Layla, while most of us race, me. We spread out and the wolves just looked at us. We stripped to our undergarments and our mates growled.

"Dracoinfors!" We all yelled. We started shifting into our dragons.

I am a purple, amethyst colored, with silver eyes and I had spikes going down my back. Layla was a jade green and she had a blood red eye and a sapphire blue eye. She was a sight to see.

She said that I was beautiful but I believe that she was. Her heterochromia showed and people usually laughed at it, but I had taught her that her beauty was in her flaws.

"You are so beautiful, Zinnia." Xander said in awe. I look over to see Kade getting on Chyanne and she took off. He was smiling and laughing. Xander started climbing on my back and I took off. Me and Layla were flying together. Nothing is able to break us apart. Ever.
