Legacies: The Pure Coven

Chapter 4: It's Nothing New

"Naomi. Faith. Coleman?" Chris says disapprovingly.

Naomi compels the man, "Forget that this ever happened, remember you just went on a walk in the woods for fresh air, and wear turtlenecks until this scar goes away."

The man leaves and Naomi turns to her cousin.

"Yes, Christopher Grey Coleman?"

Naomi and Chris are walking to history class together.

"Naomi, you can't drink from humans. Don't they have blood bags here?" Chris asked.

"Bunny blood. That shit makes you weak. Why are we still talking about this that happened last week." Naomi states.

"I guess it just freaked me out a little."

"Okay, look, I'm sorry. I won't do it again."

Chris and Naomi walked into history class just in time before the bell rang and took their seats. They looked at Mrs. Wilson as she scanned the classroom with her eyes.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, everyone is here, right?" Mrs. Wilson asked.

Mrs. Wilson walks in the front of the class and turns on the projector that says 'Civil War project', "Okay, everybody we're doing a history project today. Most of you will be going into town to research your topic. The others will be here at the school. This will be 20% of your grade. And I'll be choosing your partners. Am I clear?"

The class nods.

"Okay, Chris, Penelope, and Rafael you guys got the topic of a parent who has a son fighting for the North. Josie, Jed, and MG y'all got the topic of a parent who has a son fighting for the South. Hope and Landon y'all got the topic of a parent who's 15 year old son just got recruited to fight in the war. lastly, Naomi, Lizzie, and Kaleb y'all got the topic of a wife who is pregnant, and her husband just got recruited to fight in the war. Also, remember to talk about your personal conflict and show understanding of the Civil War for your group's topic."

"This is wack I don't get to be with my cousin." Naomi complained.

"I agree with that statement." Chris nodded.

"I mixed up the groups for a reason." Mrs. Wilson emphasized.

Chris and Naomi groaned.

"Now, you all have your assignments, into town you go. By the way, this will take all day, I've already told Dr. Saltzman so missing your other classes are okay." Mrs. Wilson told.

MG sits in the driver's seat of a school car with Josie next to him and Jed behind.

"Put on some music." Jed demands.

Josie puts on "everything i wanted" by Billie Eilish.

After a little while of listening to that Jed begins kneeing the back of Josie's seat.

"Can you please stop?" Josie asks softly.

"Not until you change the song, like are you depressed or something?" Jed jeers.

"Fine, what do you want to hear?" Josie asks.

Jed grabs the phone from Josie, puts on "Wow." by Post Malone, and begins bobbing his head to the beat.

"MG." Josie whispered.

No response.

"MG!" Josie whispered louder, nudging him a little.
