1890s displaced gateway indeginous missouri niagreen paranormal periodfiction rural wicca witchcraft

This is a short Nia Green story I wrote that originally appeared in the Cauldron's Brew, a small press publication, in February 1997.  I lost the original final draft and had to rewrite it again. 

Nia and her friends notice unusual lights and a loud explosion that cracked the windows of Hilltop House and the nearby town of Lake Haven.  Nia searches for Old Gwen to see if the witch knows something about the lights.

Nia learns that she needs to use her natural magical abilities to help a displaced group of people to escape what would be a massacre.  To do that she needs to open a gateway for them so they can travel to another world and escape Federal troops who have arrived to stop them.All Rights Reserved

The Infinity Coven Trilogy_A Dark Temptation (Volume 1) by nabiilah25

She knew he meant trouble. Yet she loved him. When seventeen-year-old Quinn Sophia Richards leaves New York to live with her grand-aunt, Helen Deveraux in Blue Haven, Georgia, she is confronted with a dark life changing revelation : her whole life was a big lie to hide the fact that she is a powerful Campbell witch who needs to fulfill her part of the prophecy before it's too late. She meets a mysterious handsome stranger who seems to know a great deal about her family's past. But can she trust this dangerous manipulating stranger whose dark side threaten to consume her... *** It was the most captivating pair of blue eyes she had ever encountered in her life. "Hello Quinn," he murmured huskily, eyes locked on her. The fact that he knew her name did not matter to her. It just felt right the way his full lips voiced it. "Hi, did you see a fair blond guy in his middle twenties passing by?" she muttered, still amazed with his hypnotic stare. Flexing a muscle in his high cheekbone, he raised one long eyebrow playfully. Something in the atmosphere was telling her that he knew the answer. "Boyfriend?" he teased, eyes locked broodingly upon her. Taken aback with his question, she only stared back. It was true that Tom Willis did not appear an ounce a driver with his casual clothing and his age. But he wasn't to find out. Her heart was already fluttered with his devastating looks. "Well, I can definitely help you." He leaned closer and she took in a deep breath, inhaling his overpowering masculine scent. "But on one condition." He paused, increasing the electrifying temsion between them. " In the right time, I'll take something from you in return," his profoundly blue eyes twinkling with devilish intentions. "And you won't be allowed to refuse." "Whatever you want," she murmured, fluttering her long lashes. Her mind warned her to run away as suddenly he seemed dangerous. Except she didn't. *** Hungry for more? Read the parts of Infinity Coven !

The Oath, Book 2 of The Coven Series by AprylBaker7

She killed herself. Everyone asked why, but when I got my hands on my sister's diary, I understood exactly why. I stared at the girl in the mirror as I removed my nose ring. Gone was the black hair, replaced by golden blonde locks that made my sapphire blue eyes shine and my California sun-kissed skin glow. The Goth chic clothes had been put away and I wore a pink tank top and a pair of khaki colored Capri's. Stylish sandals completed the outfit. I wanted to barf. The snotty little would-be witches would pay for what they'd done. By the end of the week, they'd all be praying to whatever god they worshipped to hide them from the hell coming for them. May the Fates have mercy upon them, because they would pay the same price they'd demanded of her. Their lives.

That was the funny part, I knew what I had to do but I didn't know how. Nobody wrote that part of the prophecy. I would figure it out though, two of my beloved friends were dead because the Dark Ones. I swore on their graves that no one else would follow. **Book Three in the Nox Haven Series**

Under His Control (BXB) by thatspecialteen

"Why are you here?" "You called for me, young warlock. I've heard a lot about you from The Beyond. Thank you for summoning me into your world, by the way" he smirked at me, so close now I could feel his breath on my face. I'd hoped I would never see one of his kind. And I wish I never had. ~~~ As a kid, Storm has never had much freedom. He wasn't allowed to go to school until year seven because his father was afraid he'd reveal himself to the general population, the humans, the people Storm and the others of his kind are sworn to protect. Because Storm isn't an ordinary nineteen year old, as much as he'd love that to be the case. He's a warlock in training, taking a sports course during the day and learning magic with his father at night. He's always been a sensible boy, until he made the greatest mistake of his life... A mistake he may live to regret for eternity.
