HAZEL

Driving to the bookstore filled me with dread. Dread wasn’t an unusual emotion for me to experience when dealing with my parents. Now… it was different. Not meeting at the bookstore because if my parents were in town when they needed something from me, that was where we’d meet up. Especially if they were going to be staying in town. It made no sense for any of us to drive home then come back.

Miller had told me that I was a witch. I still didn’t know if I believed him or not, but he’d more than proven to me that he was. Assuming witches were real, but if they weren’t, how in the hell could he have done that in the field while I’d been watching?

Somewhere along the way, I’d convinced myself to suspend disbelief and trust him.

I blamed the kiss. His molten-hot mouth on mine had taken all of my sense away. On the one hand, I didn’t know Miller well. Only spending time together for a few days of the last couple of weeks, though we did text. But on the other, I’d known him since we’d been kids. The only issue was that he was a jerk back then. A jerk I fantasized but a jerk, nonetheless.

One thing was certain. I’d promised to be on my guard with my parents and I’d do that. I’d always done that, but now the weird vibe I’d gotten most of my life might have a reason behind it.

I parked behind the bookstore and much to my surprise, they were already there

In the dark.

Behind a closed bookstore where I worked.

Now I didn’t want to get out of the car.

Taking a deep, calming breath, I jerked the handle rougher than I needed to. It might’ve not been the best idea to get out of the car to face them, but I lived with them and maybe if I continued to pretend to be completely in the dark about whatever they were doing, I’d be fine.

Besides, Miller had suspicions, not certainty. My parents might have been dark witches or they could just have been terrible parents.

Only time would tell.

I wanted to believe Miller because I didn’t want to think he’d lie to me. Yet my brain was still having a hard time wrapping around the idea that I had witchcraft at my fingertips that I didn’t know how to use or that my parents were witches, too.

“Why’d you want to meet me here?” I asked, standing as far from them as possible while still looking like I wanted to be there.

“We have someone for you to meet.”

I furrowed my brows. I could’ve met this person at home. Unless… there was a reason he couldn’t go to our house.

Wait. If witches were real, did that mean other supernatural creatures were too? Werewolves? Vampires? Little sprites that danced in the forest?

Discovering the truth behind that idea was something that would have to wait until later.

A tall man, maybe just shy of Miller’s height, got out of another car that I’d noticed sitting there, though I hadn’t seen anyone inside.
