Chapter 11: Michelle

The officer dropped me off, then backed his car out of the parking lot fast enough that you would've thought I was a plague-bearer. Granted, I didn't smell the best, but I hadn't frozen anyone in at least an hour. Then again, maybe he wasn't fleeing me but the two envelopes and the blue orb floating above my car.

Looking at the orb, I sighed. It was identical to the one I'd frozen this morning. The Narzel-blessed thing must've thawed and come to find me. It turned into a ribbon and talked at me about how I should join its clan. I couldn't even be happy when it finished because two more of these lovely clan-recruitment messages were waiting for me.

The first letter floated into my hand. It was all I could do not to crumple it and toss it in the trash. Instead, it unfolded itself, and I got the joy of reading through another letter telling me how I was powerful and should hurry to their door so that I could be accepted into their clan. I tossed the letter into my car along with my purse. The second letter followed me into the car where it unfolded and vanished.

I blinked. None of the other letters had vanished.

"This is Gretchen Tomlin, your minister. You must reply to this promptly as we need to schedule a meeting to work out the details of your transition into the clan."

"Not likely." I muttered.

Someone should tell Gretchen that demands and threats had never been an effective method of wooing someone. Her attitude was insulting and off-putting. Each communication from her reaffirmed my parents' theory that clans were bad news. Even if I'd been looking for a clan, one that was this difficult before our first interaction would be at the bottom of my list. At this point, I'd settle for being left alone, but if this communication was any indication, the clans had no intention of letting me be.

There had to be a way to get off their radar. Maybe if I could make myself undesirable to the clans, they would leave me alone. They wanted me because of my power, and I couldn't make that go away. But I could develop some undesirable personality traits. It wasn't worth risking my job, so it needed to be something that would bother witches but not police. This was a time when more knowledge of the clans would be a good thing. A rumor that I was part human might deter some of the clans; that is, assuming they believed it since most half-human witches weren't very powerful. The less
