Chapter Nineteen

"So you are just testing out your theories?" Fletcher asked.

Maggie fought the urge to roll her eyes. For the last thirty minutes, Fletcher had been here bugging her. At first, she thought it was his natural way of being nosey, and not trusting her. It wasn't anything she wasn't used to by now. Unfortunately, she had been wrong.

"No. I am testing my abilities."

"You’re not sure of them?"

The question was half insult, half intrigue and complete rubbish. He didn't care what she was doing. Apparently, he had decided to try to seduce her. If they were not about the same age, she would have said he was eighteen and trying to get an older woman in bed. He was so bloody obvious. In fact, it was a little insulting to her.

"Of course I'm not sure of them. I haven't had them for the past few years. It's like I'm a newly ordained witch."

There was a beat of silence because she knew Fletcher was trying to decide which way to go. Did he push her on her information, or did he flirt some more and ask her about being a witch? Both would probably get him what he wanted in the end, or he thought they would.

"Ordained witch. I thought you were born this way?"

Flirting it was.

"Yes. We are born but most people don't exhibit their abilities until right around puberty. Hormones going crazy and all that."

She tried to make a note to get some more distance. It was easy to come by but there was no reason to run out. She used it on a regular basis.

"Hormones you say?"

Oh, no. She heard the tone in his voice and she just didn't have time for him. He was a nice enough man now that he wasn't accusing her of all kinds of horrible things. But she needed to get this practice in. She had less than two days until the event, and she seriously didn't know if she was going to be ready in time. Everything depended on it. The approaching evil had something to do with Dylan, but she sensed something worse on the horizon. She wanted to be long gone before it affected the Clan.

"Yes. Your body changes and the power shifts."

He stepped closer and his voice was lower the next time he spoke. "Funny you should bring up hormones and power shifts."

Oh, for the love of Goddess. She didn't have time for nonsense. "I didn't bring it up. You asked me the question and I answered."

"Most of the time women notice when I am trying to flirt."

"I noticed, but I'm not all that impressed."

That set him back for a second and it gave her time to walk to the cupboard and grab the book of spells Phoebe had found for her. The conjuring act she usually did was better with two witches. Jack wasn't a witch of that kind; he didn't have enough power yet. She also didn't want to bring him into this mess.

"Maggie."

She blinked as she looked up from the text.
