Sophia's POVIt has been a month since my Quinceanera and life has been quiet. School has been well school, the Pack has been fine no beast attacks tely, my brothers and Fiona are here and have been leaving the house frequently. I'm since going to school with Paul cause Dad won't allow me to drive my car who I named Jesse till I turn sixteen. So, it's just parked at house which is a damn shame and I've been visiting Theon more. He has been teaching me more than the basics. How to pick out a specific scent out of others. How to use my cws without turning. How my eyes can pick up inferred. How to listen to nature, which is still giving problems. How to tell when someone's lying and how to pick on different emotions base on a person's scent.In addition, my brothers have been teaching me how to fight in wolf form and even mom has been teaching me a few things. Like how as Alpha's we have certain abilities that others don't. But I won't be getting those until I've fully matured at sixteen. That's when a wolf's senses are maxed out. No wonder the beast only attacked when we were on patrol. Kairi has been coming over more often too, my parents finally got use to her shadow travelling (at least uses the front door).We were in my room cuddling and looking at my new ceiling art. A bright glowing moon, stars and two wolves in the sky. I put those glowing spray paints to use. The ptop got split between Kairi, Chloe, Shayloh and me."Hey, Soph. Do you think anything interesting is gonna happen on the field trip this Friday?""I hope not. This st month has been chill, no drama, no almost dying. Plus, I've been able to finally finish my art pieces.""Yeah, I mean finishing ten pieces is impressive," she said pcing kisses on my neck."Says the one that's has been using us as models instead of Sarah who wants to do a model. I took you I'm not a model Kai.""I have a folder full of headshots and body shots that will disagree with you baby, and I'll get my hands on Sarah soon.""Que son por lo que suerte eres caliente y Me amor Que."(You are so lucky you're hot and I love you)"Rebel you know what speaking Spanish does to me.""But you don't even know what I said, Empress," I chuckled."It just sounds so sexy rolling off that naughty tongue of yours.""Kairi don't start something you know we can't finish," I smiled at her mischievously."Can't we?""Well...... my brothers are gone God knows where, Mom and Dad are at work and Fiona is shopping with Sarah," realization hitting us both. Kairi rushes to lock my door."Let the games begin my little wolf.""You're on my sexy demon."Ethan's POVErik, Theon and I were on a way to visit a Witch that could clear our memories of the day Harry died. The ride was silent and tense with only the radio pying."I'm gd you both are willing to do this with me. It's just like old times," Theon said with a small smirk."I said we believe you about someone messing with our memories not about everything else," Erik's stern cold voice can from the driver's seat."Ok, I can work with that," Theon eased back into the back seat."So, who's this Witch we're visiting? I thought we knew all the Witches in and around the town?""You only know the ones that want to be known. Mariange on the other hand doesn't. And for warning do not piss her off," Theon warned, his face grim."What the big bad Lycan is scared?" Erik teased."It's for a reason. The magic she practices is very dangerous. Only a few Witches practice this form of magic and even fewer have power like Mariange. Trust me when I say she's one of the most powerful Witches on this said of the world."The rest of the drive was silent. If Theon's pn was to put us on edge, then he has succussed. We drove up to a beautiful old-fashioned Vil made of bricks and marble. Beautiful roses, orchids surrounded a statue of woman. Following an archway of flowers to the front door where Theon rang the doorbell only for it to reveal a beautiful woman. For a person to hold the amount of power that Theon described I was looking for an old dy but the woman standing in front of us was anything but. Her fwless pecan colored skin went well with her dark curly wavy hair reaching her waist and those eyes I don't if it was dark brown or bck but there was something about them. It was like I was being drawn in but that wasn't the strangest thing about her, it was the strange tattoos all over her thick body."Hasn't anyone ever told you that staring is rude Ethan Redway," her melodic voice rang through my mind, but her mouth didn't move."Mariange, it's good to see you again. How are things?""Oh Theon, it was wonder until you called asking for another favor.""Right. Anyway, these are my boys—""Ethan and Erik Redway. I know who they are, and I know why you're here. Has a told you the st time messing with the mind or soul is dangerous, but I'll see what I can do. Just know that this is going to cost extra."Theon nodded and we followed Mariange inside and to the back patio wand sat down on the long chair."So, I take it you been to other Witches before me?""Yeah but no one can help," I said raking my hand through my hair in frustration."Why didn't you just come to me first Theon?""It's because you said that if I ever showed my face again you were going to turn me inside out.""Well, you did try to kill me when I could cure you of your...... condition. You're lucky I didn't burn you alive."Erik and I looked at Theon slightly shocked. He tried to cure himself of being a Lycan."Well thank you for that. I like being alive.""Well don't thank me yet. I can still burn to ash," the Witch said in a cheery voice. "I'm about to into your mind for this you'll need to be asleep. It's easier to search your mind when everything is less hectic.""Will it be painful?" I asked slowly rethinking this."I'm not sure, it depends on the spell that's blocking your memories. That is why I'll be putting you in a deep sleep until I'm finish."Looking at the other two, we nodded our heads in agreement and with a snap of her fingers sleep took us.Mariange's POVSeeing the three boys now sleep I took a seat and started my incantation for the spell. I was transported into Erik's mind. I was at the Reservation, but something was up, the images of his memories are fluctuating, over pping with others. Ok whoever did this did an awesome job, using existing memories to block the one she wants hidden. Following the strong magical presence deep into the forest I came upon a gigantic runic door covering as far as the eye could see, nicely blended into the fog."Runic Magic. It had to be runic magic," I said to myself in annoyance. It was well crafted too. The glyphs used made sure to it couldn't be open with brute force and it anyone did then the memory would be lost. As I stood there studying it, I couldn't stop thinking that I've seen this before. Runic magic is hard to learn much like my Expression magic. And there are very few who can do something like this."Let's see if I can find out who casted you." I waved my hands slowly over the door and took a reading, my tattoos glowing gold. I was cold, eerie and ced with death but the power that came out it took me by surprise. Lilith De Fell. Interesting. But very concerning. Why would Lilith keep them alive, she doesn't like having loss ends on less...... hmmm. Anyway, back on topic this door. Some runic magic normally has a key or a way to unlock it but since its Lilith we're dealing with that is out of the picture. I looked it over again and I think I found a way. It might be well crafted, but she didn't seal it, such again was smart. If it was sealed then that memory and everything leading up to it would have been blocked, they easily know that something was up. But leaving it like this and have her magic seeping out made it foggy, the door was just extra security. I think I can overwhelm her magic with mine and burn it with Runic Fire.I took a deep breath, held out my hands and started chanting. Slowly the first runic began glowing red then burned off then the second, the third was a little harder to burn and with twenty of them I would be here a while.I don't know how long it took but with all runes burned away the door started to disappear. "Ok that should do it, now time to get the hell out of dodge." Snapping my fingers I was back in my body looking at the three young men sleeping. My mind came back to Lilith and what she has to do with all of this. After saying a quick incantation Theon woke up with a yawn."Is...is it done?""Good day to you too and yes, it is done. The spell blocking your memories are gone but that is not why I woke you up before the others.""Then why did you w—.""Lilith De Fell. Have you heard that name before?" I asked interrupted him. My face stern and my voice calm."No, no I haven't. Why?""That's the name of the Witch that blocked your memories. She is also a very, very dangerous Witch from the Dark Coven.""The Dark Coven?"Raising an eyebrow, I looked at him in honest surprise, "You maybe a Lycan dear Theon but you're still a pup. The Dark Coven is a group of incredibly power and lethal Witches that practice all the Dark Arts. And I mean the most vile, twisted and evil magic.""But you practice dark magic too.""I do it out of necessity. They do it for the fun of it, spitting in the face of nature. You need to leave them Theon. I don't know what's Lilith's involvement in this but its concerning. I know what that group of yours is trying to achieve and to do that they're going to need Witches with no morals like those in that Coven.""I'm already working on it. But why warn me?""Because you have a good heart but got delt a bad hand and I have a thing of lost causes and broken things." With that I woke the other two and got up and went to fetch something leaving Theon to think on my words.Erik's POVI slowly opened my eyes to the sound of birds singing and a view of a swimming pool. Mariange walked up to us holding three small bottles and handed one to each of us."Drink a teaspoon of this everything night before bed, it will clear up the leftover magic that's still in there," she then sat down legs crossed which gave her an air of nobility."So, what you're our doctor now?" I said decided to give a little trouble."Oh, baby boy, you wish I was your doctor," she flirted."Don't mind my brother Mariange. He is a bit of a troublemaker," Ethan intervened."It's ok Ethan, I don't mean. I like someone with a little mischief in them, keeps things fun.""Well thanks again Maria. What do I owe you for this?""You'll know if you survive long enough for me to collect," she said nonchantly like knew what is going happen and the little I know of her, she might. "Just remember what we talked about, ok."Theon nodded and we took our leave. The drive back was silent as was the drive here. We've taken the first step to finding out what happened that night. But why do I get the feeling that this is the beginning of something bigger. I looked over at Theon for a sign of what do since we're on the same side, for now but his face was unreadable like a stone-cold brick. Just what did he and Mariange talk about to make the usual carefree Theon act like this?
