Zoe POV

"Alright guys! Today is our first day! And before any lessons start, we are going to the beach!" I declared to the Coven in our morning assembly. We needed something bright in our otherwise pretty gloomy lives. So, the beach! I get a variety of puzzled and excited looks. Then, to my rescue, Kyle steps up to the staircase and says, "well you heard her. Get your swimsuits!" With that, they all rushed up the steps past us. When all of them were gone, I turned to Kyle and wrapped my arms around his neck. We nipped at each other with tiny kisses. "I guess we better get ready then," he said with a crooked smile.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

At the beach, about half of the students splashed in the water and the other half tanned on the sand. My love an I jumped waves and made-out in the saltwater. Giggles and smiles all around. I also couldn't help thinking about the previous night. I wanted to have sex with him just as badly. But I would never put him in danger. What if I couldn't preform vitalum vitales? No one would ever replace him. No one. That's it, I must find a spell to take away or even pause my original power. Cordelia. Her study of alchemy had to have come across something like that. "Zoe?" Kyle snapped me out of my head. "Yeah, um, yeah what," I say. "Dollar for your thoughts."
"The expression is 'penny for you thoughts' silly."
"I know, but thoughts from this head," he said while gently cupping my head in his hand, "are worth so much more."
"Why do you have to be so cute?"
We kissed intimately. His hands caressing my neck and hair. Our lips locked together.

On the beach, I start to brush the wet tangles out of my hair. Kyle watching me, enveloped. The knots were untamable. He picked up my brush and said, "oh come on, it can't be that hard." He definitely didn't know what he was doing. "No, okay you start with the tips and brush them out," I instruct him, "then you go to the top. And be gentle! I am tender-headed." Adding a pout on the end. We laughed as he struggled to yank the comb through my hair. What would I do without you? I thought later I would break out the ouija board and try contacting Delia. But, right now, the only board I need to worry about is the boogie board! "I am so going to dominate you," I shout at Kyle as we dash into the ocean, holding the boogie boards. My family and I used to go to the ocean all of the time.

I splashed my daddy in the water. He smiled and returned another splash back to me. After jumping waves daddy went swimming in the deep. Collecting shells, I heard a voice say "cramp!" And then grunts and sounds of pain followed. It was daddy, he was drowning in the water. "DADDY" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Again and again. No one was helping him and I couldn't swim. There was a child no more than twenty feet away from him on a raft. I wanted to rip the raft away and throw it to my father. All of a sudden, the raft really did fly over to my dad. He was saved. A lifeguard went out and swam him back in. Everyone wondered what happened. I couldn't believe it. Had I done it? That''s when I began to think I was special.

Once I was back in my clothes, I tip-toed around the house to make sure everyone was asleep. We had spent the rest of the day until 8 o' clock, on the pier. Kyle was passed out cold in our bed. Ever since his re-awakening, he couldn't stay awake too long. Assuming all the kid were in bed, I pulled out the game board, absinthe, and a shot glass. I poured the absinthe into the glass and downed it. Flipping the shot glass on the table, I placed my two fingers on the bottom. I began.
"Delia, you there?"
It slid by itself to the following letters:
YES
"Okay, I need your help."
YES
"I want to take away my black widow power or maybe pause it if that's easier."

And I ended the game. She would have made a great Supreme. Cordelia changed my life like Myrtle changed hers. I found the spell in the grimoire. Maybe tomorrow I will try, it is getting late and I must be at the morning assembly tomorrow to assign studying arrangements.
