My eyes fluttered open as I sat upright on the bed and looked around and stared at the wooden ceiling before scrambling off the bed. I padded to the hardwood closet and stared at the full length mirror and jumped backwards. Someone dressed me in an oversized black shirt and I played with my roots and twirled it around my fingertips, the steaks and tips all different shades of blue. I stared in awe and confusion. A million questions went through my mind as I opened the closet and slipped on some shorts before I bolted down the hallways and the stairs.

I strolled into the living room and stared at the emptiness. Quiet, too quiet. Soft snoring echoed on the room as I spotted books on Zale's lap."Witch spells" and 'lunar spells 'I hunched over the sofa as he breathed softly as he was sprawled on the couch with his long legs hanging on the air in his uncomfortable position as I giggled and grinned. Confusion filled my chest as I whirled to leave as something rustled and sharp movements as I tensed. My hands on the handle as I slipped on some white slides. I paused and refused to take a step."Zale is that you?"I asked, my voice croaked and light as I balled my hands into fists. Heavy breathing and sighing as a shadow casted on me but no sound. I heaved a sigh as goose bumps rose on my neck and arms as the hairs on my stood erect."Zale, Zale."I pressed, my voice raised louder and longer. Honestly ,I was losing my shit right now."Stop this weird joke."I yelled angrily, my voice strained. More heavy and laboured breathing. I stared at him and panicked.

"Ok, Zale where is everyone and what the hell happened?"I screamed, only to stare at inhumane eerie blue eyes."Heather, you're awake?"He stated quickly before burying his nose on the crook of my neck and inhaled softly as he hugged me from the back. He recoiled and smiled cheekily as I arched a brow."OK, so yeah. Sara told me about your visions and nightmares. Now your powers are fully developed. But you're aren't just any witch. You are a LUNAR WITCH. "He gushed and smiled happily.

"A lunar witch?"

"Yes, a moon witch."

Then Zale went on full professor mode just like Ares and even though I already knew what lunar meant. I'm a seer, cast spells, powers and a mind reader to any supernatural creature. Honestly, I had mixed feelings. Zale shrugged and sighed." I was scared that someone poisoned you. I felt so bad that it was my fault so I cancelled the ceremony just to help you out."But he wasn't done yet, "And you did some crazy but creepy things. You literally used prophecies in another language; you were so powerful that you caused flames to form the Star of David. "Yesterday, after the ceremony you mother came in and I was mad that when you were in your darkest place you ignored you the entire time and didn't even want to come to your party. Her anger was worse when she found out that you also aren't human."He just smiled.

I looked around avoiding his gaze as I stared at the wooden floor and my toes."Oh, man. That's a lot to take in."

"Yeah."He nodded.

"Um, Zale."I said, "Where are my friends?"

"Um, they've gone back. It was for their own good because I was worried that you...you were poisoned."

I strolled into the hallway as people gasped and stared at me and that was strange and very concerning. I furrowed my eyebrows as a lanky boy stumbled to me and flashed me a card as I arch a brow. They whispered and recoiled.

"Stop there, delinquent,"He shouted, fixing his sloppily glasses. His voice is raspy and nasally with acne on his long face.

"What?"

"I'm the hall monitor and you've gone against the rules "He spat literally and pointed his long fingers at my hair and towered over me. I stared at my hair, it puffed and grew bushier. The highlights glowed like a beacon .Or was it that bad

"Oh my hair."I nodded.

I got detention because hair dying is against the school rules as I groaned.

Sadie said I had gotten a massive glow up literally overnight. She was desperately trying to set me down at our seat to tell her everything. My eyes stung so badly that I removed my glasses and blinked and everything I was far-sighted and now I could  see perfectly. No fuzziness or blurriness as I blinked in happiness and gripped it and danced in joy. I had to replace my glasses and boy, my parents were furious then I made them a sweet lie to hide the fact I was bullied. My eyesight improved unnaturally and tremendously. Yeah ,I didn't pay attention in literature or English class.

At the washroom, I stared at my eyes through the fogged mirror after washing my hands from the automatic tap. The restroom was oddly clean and luxurious looking. I stared at the mirror only to be startled. My eyes were the eerie blue shade to the mirror like electricity and I blinked, it vanished.

Power radiated through me as I embraced it as I approached lunch and everyone-almost everyone who listened to the rumours stared at me, ignored or were chatting and phew,I hated the attention. The bitch twins glared at me and gossiped about me as I calmly took a seat with my friends. Noah was eating his stir-fry, paused and blink two times as I stuck a straw into my juice box.

"Heather, is that you?"He gasped in disbelief, as I looked around and nodded while I arch a brow."Um,duh."I retorted and mimic his actions."Yeah, is me."I shrugged as I felt uneasy and my muscles tensed. The whispers increased louder and snickering, "Why is everyone looking at me as if I'm not the same like I'm some imposter?"I said angrily."Um, because they don't like you so hard that your change ticks them off. But after one some creepy ass party now this."He scoffed and rolled his eyes. He took his book and skimmed through the words and ignored me in silence then I ate, feeling annoyed with his sudden outburst. Then I felt it deep in my bones and breathed, the tone slowly turned pale blue as I squeezed my eyes shut to prevent it-no anyone to see my eyes flash blue.

"Heather, you alright?"He asked with concern. He placed his hands on my shoulders as I squeezed my lips into a thin line and shook my head. Then I heard it loud and clear.

'Oh, shit .looked what cat dragged in your stupidity. Heather has been acting weird lately. Should I really tell her? No. She's not now she isn't in a good place right now. No, she already got some ugly disgusting wolf for a boyfriend. He's running my plans but now this. Ok, why did she stare at me like that .Shit, what did I think again was it dirty. I'm an idiot. Do I really have to tell her what I was actually doing in those woods?'

I blinked and stared at him."Heather, you zoned out."He leaned in and whispered to me as I nodded."You look tensed. "He chuckled as I slipped off the chair and left."I need some air."I added, padded away then sprinted and stood in the hallway.'Fuck he likes me, the hell?'I thought as I slumped on the locker and fixed my sweater. It now made sense why he acted the way he did but Zale said I can only access thoughts of the supernatural.

Oh my fucking-

Cue, screaming intently and I accidently pounded my fist on the locker then winced in embarrassment. But he hasn't radiated any strange auras, or my powers are going crazy or mad, or he can control or sadly he knew the whole time but lied, but why ?Or I'm in big denial or paranoid . He was jealous right. I dragged myself back to my seat and ate the cold stir-fry food as he looked at me with absolute concern.

It was awkward how much I stared at him as I avoided his gaze at the library for study time. I slipped over and pretended to look at classics such as 'Jane Eyre' and 'Pride and Prejudice' and skim through them just to inhale its scent. He typed on the computer and his iconic golden headphones dangled on his long freckled neck as he stared at me with sadness.

"Why are you ignoring me?"He asked, sadly as he cradled his head in his arms.

"No, I'm not."I lied angrily, shaking my head.

He rolled his eyes and grabbed the book from me."Bullshit."He yelled as I took long strides backwards and yelped."Really, I'm sorry for what I said. I didn't think, ok."He apologised softly and plopped the book in my hands as others peaked from their tablets or laptops as their gazes locked on me. I gulped and hid in the walls and hopefully I was swallowed. My highlights were famous as I sat metres away peeking at him. Then things got weird, never mind, weirder. Really, my hair was the first thing they noticed. He left after I heard a buzzing and whirring sound as he stumbled from his to the window and argued to his-headphone .Again, the hell.

In a different language then I felt tipsy and light headed as my eyes flashed blue again and I muttered so low and so deep as he gasped and stared at me in horror and confusion."Waad isku dayi doontaa laakiin waxaad ka shallayn doontaa qorshahaaga marka uu qaato waxa aad daryeesho oo dib u qaniinto." You will try but you will regret your plan when it takes what you care and bites back." "I yelled at him trying hard to catch my breath as I spilled it to an angered with fuming breath, clenched jaw and bloodshot eyes.

"What did that mothafucker do to you? What actually happened at the shit cult then?"He screamed at me. I groaned in pain, breathed heavily and whirled away to stop the pain and the pounding in my head. I CAN'T EVEN TRUST MY OWN FRIEND AT ALL.WHO CAN I TRUST?
