I would also like to address a few things in my books xx
1.. I am NOT a professional writer, I am still learning at the moment and I understand that my work is not up to that standard yet..
2.. I also struggle with grammar greatly and hope you can understand that I am not doing it to piss anyone off.. I do really struggle with the Their and there ect.. Your and Your've ect .. The writing platform also uses American style spelling checks, so sometimes that affects things. I also failed the grammar side of English and I want to go back to college to learn it all over again, but due to covid I cant yet as I need to be in collage for the extra tutorage that I need one on one... So, again, I have to wait and so you will all have to wait for that part of my writing to improve..
3.. Most of the writers on Dreame are aspiring writers and not professionals .. We try our best and don't have people that edit or proof read or anything like that.. Most of us do read through our own work.. I know I do.. Many times .. We try our best and sometimes, when people start with very negative comments it can affect us badly.. It takes a lot to put our work out there for everyone to read and when you tear it apart please think about the word you write.. This is also one of the reasons I needed some time off as my first book had 100's of amazing comments but a few people have torn my work apart. Brutally, and I wasn't ready for someone to do this.. It nearly got to the point where I no longer wanted to write.
I hope I have addressed a few issues people have mentioned and gave you all a little insight to the writers side of things .. Happy reading and I hope you can overlook my grammar and enjoy the stories I am trying to bring to life xx
So here I am, having had to run again. Why do you ask? Well, I am a witch, but not only that, I am THE witch. Yeah, you guessed it. I am the Centennial Witch.... Every witch must go through the ascension on the witching hour (Midnight) of their 13th Birthday. We usually get a tattoo appearing of the element we are going to be closest too.
Every witch gets one.
The exceedingly rare witch gets two. But the Centennial witch gets all four plus the centennial mark on their back between their shoulder blades.
So, there, my twin and I were, waiting inside a pentagram, inside a circle, for midnight to strike... Which it did and, low and behold, Fire appeared on my wrist for me. I look around waiting for my familiar to appear when the burning starts again, and air appears (Guess I'm in the rare category) Still no familiar. Then it burns again.... no no no NO! I do not want to be it! I sit a cry, as fear appears on mum’s face as it dawns on her what I am becoming...
Within a few minutes, all four marks are there sitting on my wrist as the burning recedes from between my shoulders, leaving the 5th mark.
The centennial mark....
It's me then. My familiar appeared and I got a wolf cub, never has a witch ever had a wolf before. We get the stuff like from the fairy tales, like cats, rats or toads. Some got a bird-like creature like a raven or owl. Which when Leah did her ascension, she got a beautiful snow-white barn owl.
Anyway I digress, see the centennial Witch is supposed to appear every 100 years. 13 was only ever supposed to be created as the 13th Witch will be immortal once she finds her life partner, also making that partner immortal too.
Yes, its 2020 but some witches managed to extend their life with vampire blood... The last four witches even turned to try and gain immortality like the 13th Witch would have, no more would have been created as only one centennial witch can exist at once. But the witches turned evil and away from the moon goddess' path as soon as they became part vampire.... Guess what number witch I am? ... 13th.
Now I am chased by different super naturals all trying to force me to mate with one of their kind. Others chase me to kill me, so I won’t turn bad and 'destroy' the world. And the last group, they chase me, wanting control of me to do their own bidding. So, even now, as I run free ... I'm not really free at all.
Luckily, I have my half-sister Leah with me. My twin died two days after our birthday, along with my mum and Leah's mum. (They were best friend you see) We were identical twins and my silly sister used Henna and drew the other three remaining element tattoos on her arm above her wind element. Our parents and my sister had nipped off shopping and run across four people from the group that want The Centennial Witch dead. They thought she was it and killed her, my mum and Leah's mum. I hear you ask how Leah is my half-sister too? Well, that's a different story, but I'll tell you that later.
Anyway, me and Leah have stuck together and been running for the last 6 years. We are both now 19 years old and we have finally found somewhere where we can stay long term instead of moving every 3 to 6 months...
But I worry if we will ever be safe? How can I find love/my life partner if everyone seems to be after me for their own selfish reasons? Maybe I am destined to be alone in my love life... It's not like I know what I'm missing. I have never even held hands with a lad never mind having my first kiss or other stuff... Goddess my life sucks. No, I must have someone out there? Or what is the point in telling the story that the 13th Witch will become immortal with her life partner?
Any way let me continue with my story... Leah is my half-sister; we share the same father. See, all witches are either born light or dark but the centennial witch is both. A light witch cannot use dark magic and a dark witch cannot use light, well our dad tried using dark magic when he was a light witch. This caused him to go mad and he sexually attacked my mum and Leah within a few nights of each other. Both ended up pregnant. Carla was pregnant with Leah and mum with me and Zena. Yeah, I should have said, I'm Zoe Palin. Carla also gave Leah the same last name as me, we could then be recognized as sisters, so she is Leah Palin. She was also born the day before me and Zena and we all grew up together. After both women was raped the coven, we were in turned both of them out. They stayed together and helped each other out to survive.
We were all living in a cabin made from magic in the middle of no-where so we would not be found, and we lived peacefully. Every day our mums would teach us the spells, preparing us for when our magic came at 13. They have saved our lives more times that I can count, thank goddess our mums started us young. We aren't supposed to learn them till we are 12. Even then it was only the basics. The real difficult and intense spells are learnt after your birthday.
So back to us running, we found a safe haven in the wilds of North Dakota and we have put all the wards up and now making a cabin for us. Three bedrooms, living room, Bathroom's (One each, why share where you can literally pull one out the air?) and kitchen, sometimes it's great being us. We need three bedrooms as my wolf which I named after my lost sister Zena, Needs her space as well as Jax, Leah's owl familiar. Only problem is there is a pack nearby, about a mile away from the creak which we have built next to so we could have a constant fresh water supply. Me being the centennial witch, I can do anything with my powers, so money and food is never a problem for us. You would think hiding would be easy with my powers, but it isn't. The people chasing us, injured me on one of their hunts for us and they almost captures us. Luckily we evaded them. They collected the spilt blood and hunt me through that from then on. With our calculations of how much was spilt, we hope that they have now run out of their supply. Many times, I've told Leah to leave me and keep herself safe but every time she refuses saying we are in this together.
My destiny is that I'm supposed to watch over the other supernatural races and ensure harmony between all the races. To lead and help them, But I have no chance at the moment until we can find people to trust. I also must find my life partner; we call them that as all races have their own name for their lovers/partner. We witches are the only race that can intermingle with different races, we are the only race able to sustain the power of a child born of two races. A rule imposed on us from the Goddess to stop the stronger races from trying to breed with each other for power. She created all the races including humans although they call her a god instead of goddess, assuming their creator is a male. Only a man could have come up with that! Hahaha.
So yeah, I need my partner before I can go on to fulfil my destiny, Don't ask me how I'll do that when we can trust no-one, But I pray to the Goddess to find him every night. Hopefully, she will grant my wish soon...
