Chapter 1
My Witchy ways
The name is Lori, Lori Monroe and I'm a teenage witch. I go to Grenmeres High and I have no friends to speak of. The only person I can talk to is my mom. Though technically she's a portrait. My dad and my mom were messing around with magic one day and my dad got sucked into another dimension and my mom got stuck in a portrait. My grandma raised me away from magic and spoiled me rotten. Oh and did I mention I was born on Friday the thirteenth! It was on my seventh birthday that my parents messed around and were taken away form me leaving me with a talking portrait and my dying grandmother.
I was turning fourteen this year and my birthday was on Friday again. Can I tell you a secret though I have been secretly practicing magic. In class one day a girl threw a pencil at my head and I stopped it then dropped it on my desk. I wrote I'm a tramp on my arm, whispered it quietly then the words disappeared.
"I'm a tramp", she said loudly. Everyone laughed and cheered. I smiled quietly at myself. Another girl wrote everyone hates you on my locker and that sent me into a mood. I waited until we were in class then I stole her marker and wrote everyone hates you on my arm I whispered the words and they disappeared. The girl was standing beside the teacher talking about an assignment.
" Everyone hates you", she said loudly. She was suspended and she never she never wrote on my locker again. Boys hit on me but none of them interested me. One of boy tried to snakebite me when I rejected him so I summoned a real snake and had it bite him. Today was seven days before my birthday and I was anxious. I was dating Roger Farrine the hottest guy in our grade but I was only dating him because I was bored and I wanted a boyfriend.
" Lori I think we should break up", he suddenly said. " What?", I said confused. " I've been cheating on you for weeks Lori it's over goodbye", he said then walked over to Renee Johnson and they started to make out. I stormed up to the science room I was angry and I had pulled out a couple of his blonde hairs. I pulled my light brown hair back into a ponytail. I pulled out my herbs and shut all the doors locking myself inside. I put his hairs in a test tube and put dry ice in there and then light it up. " Make him writhe make him pay make him live with two broken legs", I whispered angrily. The hair burnt out and smoke billowed out. I blew the smoke away and clean everything up.
I sensed her at long last it was time. I felt her power as she used a spell punish a boy who did her wrong. I breathed it in as I walked out of my house and out into the street. I closed my eyes and I disappeared into the wind and reappeared in a classroom. There she was right in front of me I had never seen her before but I felt her power. This was the last Monroe witch the one I had been looking for. The only girl I needed to become immortal.
I finished cleaning turned around and my heart skipped a beat. There was a guy he looked around nineteen and he was looking right at me. I felt his power it was unbelievable. It filled the air and I had to work hard to resist it filling me up. I could feel that he was dangerous it scared the hell out of me. I took twenty steps back and braced myself against the wall. He walked up to me and I could feel intensity fill the air. I didn't want this he had to go away. I thought clearly raised my head and pushed out with my hands. He was sent flying back into the opposite wall.
" Hello Lori", he said coming up to me again. I had never seen this man before but I could sense who he was even though I had only heard about warlords once. He was a master sorcerer unlike anything I had ever experienced and he was filled with rage right now. He swirled his wrists and chains formed on my arms holding me there. I cleared my head again and pulled hard ripping my arms out of the chains. " I was worried you might not be the one after all until you used that spell", he said sending a flask flying at me. I put my hand into a fist and the flask exploded. I blew the glass away then turned to face him. " Can you speak girl", he said standing right in front of me. I flipped over him and kicked him into the wall. " What are you doing here this is my town?", I said opening the locks quietly. " Don't try that again Lori I'm here for you", he said pulling me to him like a puppet. " Who are you?", I asked as he pulled me up close to him. " I'm Will Prawter and I've been waiting a century for you Lori", he said pulling my bangs out of my eyes.
