Rain hammers down upon me, falling from the heavily clouded skies above. I bask in it, turning my face up to absorb the drops.

It has been a long time since I’ve experienced the cleansing rain.

I cannot even count the years, the time having passed in darkness. I smile and roll my shoulders.

Feed us, a voice commands.

“Keep your bloody trousers on,” I scold. The street is empty, everyone turned in for the night, so as I stroll, I walk right down the center of the street, not worried in the slightest I might end up flattened by a vehicle.

If they come for me, I’ll simply kill them. “I’m free!” I yell to the sky, twirling in a slow circle as lightning illuminates the darkness around me.

Laughter bubbles in my chest, and soon it’s spilling from me as I skip, heading toward the source I began tracking the moment I stepped outside.

Magic beckons to me from ahead. It calls, wrapping around me and enticing me with its sensual power.

“Into the dark you go, my love. Into the dark you go. Together we’ll fall. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, my love, into the dark we go,” I sing it loudly, screaming from the top of my lungs as I push into a run.

Water splashes up onto the legs of my trousers, soaking me to the bone, but I don’t care. My heart hammers beneath my breast, adrenaline surging through my veins.

I’ve never felt this much pure power. It’s intoxicating.

I slide to a stop, sending water flying in all directions as I stare at the front door of the small house. Lights illuminate the windows, and just inside, I see a group of women sitting in a circle. They are panicked, and I can hear each word laced with fear.

Closing my eyes, I listen.

“I saw it in a dream, Mal!”

“Calm down, Diana. This isn’t the first time you’ve gotten things wrong.”

“You don’t understand! This is different! The crows, they were there when I woke up!”

“We’re going to be fine,” a third woman assures the others.

“No, you’re not,” I whisper, opening my eyes. I can feel the coven’s power from outside the walls, and the need to possess it is stronger than anything I’ve ever felt. Wiping the smile from my face, I stumble toward the door. “Help!” I yell, keeping my voice low enough to avoid alerting any of the neighbors. “Help me, please!”

The door opens, and a petite redhead stares at me, her green eyes wide with surprise and concern. “What’s wrong?”

“My boyfriend, he left me in the street after a fight. I’m so cold.” I don’t even have to muster up real tears since the rain is giving me the appearance of a drowned sewer rat.

“Come in, honey.” She steps aside and lets me in, closing and locking the door behind her. “This way, let’s get you some tea.” The redhead guides me into the living room where two other witches stand. The blonde’s mouth is flattened in a tight line as she studies me warily.
