The Witch trials will start soon and we have escape. We won’t make it through the week of we don’t. Father says we are not witches, that we are just cursed by them to have these powers. No one will believe us. We must leave Salem. It’s been an interesting few months here. I have these powers I can’t and refuse to use unless I can find a way to use them to better the world around us. 

Edward and I are in love. We are supposed to escape together but I don’t know how I will evade my father. Edward has powers too. No one must know. Father doesn’t know. It’s our little secret. He loves me and we will get married and figure everything out together.

 Considering everything that has happened I couldn’t be happier. I just have to trick my father and run away with Edward. It might be a bad idea and not fair for my loving father but I had to chose between love and family and I chose Edward. We will start our family together. 

I will keep you posted.
