I'M GOING TO START EDITING THIS PROBABLY. If you go to Our Lady of the Black Veil Academy, chances are you know the names Cass Landry, Rebecca Lovelace, and Mallory Meksawan. Cass Landry being the mysterious new girl with a tendency to practice magic illegally, Rebecca being notorious for lighting up every room she walks into, and Mallory being the second in command it-girl of Black Veil, as famed as she is feared. After a magical attempt to escape detention goes terribly, horribly wrong and their ethics teacher winds up dead (ironic, they know), Cass must band together with Rebecca, the girl she "totally doesn't like", and Mallory, another girl she doesn't like (but like...for real this time) to find a spell that can bring their teacher back to life before her situation becomes permanent. A spell of this caliber, however, requires that they venture into the underground world of their picturesque town, striking a deal with a powerful gang leader that not only raises the stakes, but gives them an even tighter timeline. And though as a witch Cass has personal experience with life and death, the pressure that she's facing now might just be too tough to handle. Luckily, she's not alone. And with the three baddest witches of Black Veil, who knows what could happen. (So yeah I failed but I'm keeping ONC in the title okay let me have this)

[Novella Edition ✧ First Draft] This story has been reimagined as my project "Every Glistening Night." This version will remain up, however, I highly recommend checking out the newer one, since it is more representative of my current writing style. Light shines down from the heavens, illuminating the Earth below. But every so often, a beam falls down from above. If you know how, you can catch it. If you don't, you destroy it. And when you collect enough rays of light, you hold the power of the sun, moon, and stars in your hands. Only one has mastered the art. Only one can capture the precious light, and spin it into ethereal thread. Her name is Celisae. In order to solidify an alliance for three tribes, Celisae is asked to weave three dresses, one of sunlight, one of moonlight, and one of starlight. There's only one problem - Celisae is not a weaver. Written for the ONC 2020.
