Prologue

Seventeen years ago two baby girls were brought into the world on the night of a full moon in a witch community in White Cove on Santa Catalina Island. The warm Californian night air wrapped around the little girls as their mother carried them into the center of a large pentagram drawn in the beach sand. The mother placed the girls in the middle and then stepped back and joined the circle of thirteen witches around the pentagram. Each coven is filled with all of the witches from the surrounding community, but are all led by a group blessed with more power than the ordinary witches. This group is called The Fifteen. In the White Cove Coven, two members of it's Fifteen died. This ritual was performed to see the children's powers and their position in the coven. They looked up to the full moon and asked their Goddess to bless the girls and reveal their powers. The moon grew brighter and two glowing orbs levitated above the girls. One was as bright as the sun and the other was of every shade of pink. Gasps echoed around the crowd of witches as they realized what magic these girls would have. One of the girls would become the Sun Witch, a witch with the ability to control the sun's light, and the other girl would become the Aether Witch, the most powerful witch in the world. The Aether magic and the Sun magic floated into the girls and their whole body lit up. The Aether magic flowed through the girl's body and rested in her eyes. They lit up bright fuchsia and stayed that way. The Sun magic forced the girl's eyes to become golden. The girls were raised together in their community. The elders of the coven surrounded the girls with magic and protection, with one purpose. Keeping the Aether Witch safe from all those who wanted the Aether magic that flows through her. She grew, thrived with her parents, her older brother, and her twin sister. Her magic grew unlike any. She took her place in The Fifteen and trained with her friends until they were the best fighters and witches. In her Fifteenth year, she met a boy with tanned skin, unruly dark hair, and ocean colored eyes. Pink glowing vines manifested on top of both of their right wrists as their soulmate bond was created. The next year of her life was amazing, she was happy and her soulmate mark grew, almost connecting its vines on the inside of her wrist and spreading along her arm. Until three days before her sixteenth birthday. A greater demon came for her magic and would not stop. The coven could not stop it. Nowhere they hid the girl was safe. The demon could sense her magical aura. Drastic measures had to be taken. A spell was cast over the girl, hiding her magic from everyone, including herself. Her memories of magic, her life, her soulmate, and her twin were replaced with the memories of a human. She was sent to New York to live a normal life, with only her father as company, until it was safe for her to come home.
