Erin wanted to give her daughter, Charlie, a normal childhood, but Charlie isn't a normal child. Charlie and her mother are both witches. After escaping government captors, Erin gave birth on the run and spent many years moving Charlie from town to town to avoid being locked up and experimented on. When Charlie started high school, Erin made a promise they wouldn't move again until she had graduated. Now, they've made it to senior year without issue but when a new kid shows up at school, Charlie notices something strange about him. In order to uncover the truth, she begins acting out of character and going behind her mother's back to handle everything on her own. Charlie's reckless behavior opens the door for trouble to quickly find them once again. With Erin as her teacher, Charlie still has a lot to learn before she is ready to face the unknown evils that have been after them for all these years.

Witches In Suburbia

 Margaret's ankle twists as the stage gives out under her. Before anybody realizes what happens, the kid I just used my magic on to shove, catches Margaret before she can hit the ground at a nasty angle. 


“Oh my gosh,” the crowd mumbles in confusion and excitement. That clearly was not part of the pep rally. 


“Thank you for catching me,” Margaret thanks the kid holding her, he’s someone she has probably never spoken to before. He sets her down and she winces a bit from her ankle.


“Margaret!” The school nurse comes rushing over. The nurse and the kid who caught Margaret, help her take a seat nearby while they check her out. We are close enough to hear their interaction.


“You’re lucky Malcolm was there to catch you, this could have been much more than a twisted ankle,” the nurse comments, and I breathe a sigh of relief. I didn’t completely save her from pain but at least she didn’t break anything. It looks like my paranoia and observation skills are paying off.
