There is a way, they say.
A price.
A choice only you can make.
Could there be another Nexari on campus?
"...Magic doesn't exist,"
"Wait-you're a Nexari?"
"Please... don't make me learn how to live without you."
"You shouldn't have left us like that,"
"I... I need you here."
"Clade, don't you dare. You know how cruel they are. Even if you surrender, they'll still kill everyone."
"I like you."..."I don't know when it started. Maybe when you patched me up after that first fight, or when you yelled at me for skipping practice. Or maybe it was before all that. But it's you. It's always been you."
"I love you." he said softly, letting the words carry over the mindlink. "Even if you only see me as your younger brother, even if... even if that's all I am to you... I will always love you. Thank you for everything. For keeping me safe, for being who you are.... be strong. Always. Goodbye"
"After the fight... you and I go somewhere far away.. Just us.. No fighting. No artifacts. No saving the world. We'll take a train, or fly somewhere warm. Somewhere quiet. You can complain about the sun and I'll complain about sand."

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete
