IN THE SHADOWS

Ava allowed the anger to take over, her mind swirling with theories of what could have been if she stayed when Everett urged her to do so. He knew the coven would betray her and, honestly, Ava was mad because she knew better as well. Layla had already proved on more than one occasion that her loyalty was not absolute. In fact, despite the fact Layla required blind loyalty, it was rarely returned. She could feel her emotions building, her hands starting to shake, her legs twitching as the power started to intensify. She willed herself to calm down and control her power. 


Suddenly, Ava froze, her tears instantly stopping. Then she heard it again, something clicking. For a moment, her heart skipped a beat thinking that she’d be wrong - they were still here. Standing, she stepped to the doorway but just as she was about to open it she heard the voices. Unfamiliar voices.
