join others, I'm fine here, like this"
Her face fell a little, it looked as if some one came over and smuged the smile away, i could see her aura, as nan called it, and for once in my life i saw blue in nan's aura, she was sad.
“I know, but this was going to come, it happened to your brother too and he hasn’t changed, it’s a big thing I know, but you’re a full witch now, you can use your powers for what ever you like, I cant stop you” she leaned a little closer near my ear “ But not to much in the house cause your Pop will get a bit annoyed now that his magic is, well, lets say wearing out” her face lifted into a little smile but my face was ,well, I don’t know, I felt shocked, mum wanted me to have this when I joined, so what Nan was really saying was that I had to go, it would have happened if mum was alive, I had to do this. I smiled back and felt strong now, but wouldn't have said anything if she didn't think i was strong enough.
“Thanks Nan” she smiled in return and bigger smile now. Now I was curious.
“But Nan, why the pendant?” I asked.
She was about to turn away and join Hugh and Pop joking around in the lounge, you could hear them laughing and messing around. But my words stopped her, the blue in her aura faded, i blinked slowly stoping myself from seeing aura's, i leant that when i was fiften, but i had been trying since i was fourteen.
“Because, Flick, well Felicity I should say if your mother was here, that pendant that you call, is a only made for certain people and you and your brother were chosen, you are now in the group of Bare witches, which means you are a protector of all dark magic that surrounds this area of our country, your brother has a Necklace to but calls it a ‘dog tag’ you are special Felicity, and you need to use that to protect people, to protect humans”
She walked of out of the room, but I stood there, then I sat on the beach that was cold and just thought to myself, ‘I am not cut up for this, there are others, I wonder if I know them, Hugh as never told me about this, Protect people, how the hell am I suppose to do that when I couldn’t even look after my Fish, and look how that ended, he got killed by my Nans cat! I couldn’t do this, but then i was chosen, I hated been chosen I wish I was the last one to be picked just like was in gym class, god, WHY ME?’

For my birthday that day Nan made a brilliant lunch which she admitted that she used magic to make the icing for the cake, I didn’t mind apart from Pop, he said that if his magic was ‘wearing off’ then hers will and if she made the icing while it was then for all we knew the icing could be poisoned, but Nan told him where to shove his faith in her and Hugh and I laughed about it for ages. The cake was Chocolate with chocolate icing and white writing across it said ‘Happy 17th Felicity’, and it tasted so sweet, just the way i liked it.
“Nan thank you so much for this, and thanks for my presents” My present from Hugh was a IPod and Pop got me purple paint and a big brush, stuck on the tin of paint was a sticky note which said “ Finish what you started” with a big smiley face at the end. Pop wanted me to paint the fence and I was going to do it but every time I thought about it; it was like Nan knew and she would make me do something else or watch something that she was doing. I guess she just wanted to be around with me for my birthday.
Finally the day turned to night and we all were tired, we went for a long walk around on my Nans and Pops property, it was huge, 21 archers to be exact. Hugh and I got to use magic when Pop wasn’t looking, Nan laughed, we mainly used magic to pick up the straw and dead grass of the ground and throw it at each other. I thought it was lazy using magic to do something that you could do with your own hands, but it was so much more fun, we could throw the hay as hard as we wanted;we even dumped it on each others heads. The magic felt warm, and happy I could smell the hay as the magic picked it up nearly like invisible hands; I could felt as if there were real dirt on my hands, the dryness going inbetween my fingers, it felt so real and it made me giggle a little. Everything was going great today, my birthdays have always been great but something about this one made it special, I thought it was because I could use magic when I wanted to, but it wasn’t that, so after the lights went out in the house and everyone was in bed, I just sat on the couch, figuring this out shouldn’t be difficult, but I shouldn’t want to know what made my day, but it felt like I needed to know, that I was missing out on a secret that everyone else knew. I fell asleep thinking too hard, but I wasn’t asleep for long. Hugh stood above me, looking awake with a small smile on his face.
*
“Is it morning already?” I said tiredly, he shook his head and did a half smile. I lifted myself up so I was in a sitting position again; I must have fallen sideways when I started to go to asleep. Why the hell would Hugh wake me up if it wasn’t morning already, I knew he was always a light sleeper but this was insane, especially on my birthday.
“Then what Hugh, I’m tired” I said in a soft voice that wouldn’t wake Nan up or Pop.
Hugh grabbed my hands that were rubbing my eyes; his eyes had a look of worry and impatience, but I looked at him better now, he looked to me as if something exciting had just happened in his life but the exciting thing was dangerous it is hard to explain. This must have something to do with what Nan told me before; she said there were others, not just Hugh. Hugh must have known what I thought because he pulled me to my feet and started to pull me towards the French double doors, just before he opened the door he looked down at me and said “Ready to meet the others?”
I nodded and walked outside with him, the night was silent, I looked down at my watch it read 11:53, who meets up at this time, I was going to be the new person in the group, and it might even be a small group, then I might be able to make friends easier, then I realised I knew this was going to happen but I knew if Hugh looked scared in a way then that must means this isn’t going to be easy fitting in, then I definitely didn’t want to go. But I was Chosen, the Bare Witches, Pfft, what did that even mean. Well I would know soon enough because we were leaving the house, out the back way, all there is, is forest and bush. I hoped Hugh knew his way back home because I sure as hell didn’t.


Chapter Two


Jonathan


We always had these meetings in the forest, I called it the forest because the mist it got sometimes or how some of the trees looked, some people called it the bush because of the dirty like sand on the ground or the little shrubs that lye around in no order. To me it was beautiful, I played out here when I was a little kid, I would always be running around, always knew my way around the forest. I sat on one of the many fallen trees, I usually sat here, furthest away from the group of people, I would raise my opinion and I would discuss any of the topics they would raise but if I sat with them like a circle then it was like accepting what I was was a good thing, that I should be proud where I stood. I was good, I did good, but I didn’t want to join any group of people of witches, but I had to face it, I was in the group of Bare Witches, good protecting others of unkindly evil forces. Nothing ever happened, yes we had new people join sometimes but I had been here for 3 years now and I still didn’t like it. And tonight was one of those nights where there was a new comer, Hugh one of the people in the group that I can call a friend, his little sister had turned
