Chapter Ten

Tall trees were encased by an ominous darkness. The slap of feet hitting the earth rose in a staccato of sound. Fear was replaced by resolve. Whispered words of power danced on the wind.

Cory experienced it all in a series of visions. From the first, she understood she witnessed someone else’s memories. They weren’t her own. It wasn’t a dream.

Her body tensed in fear as the woman ran through the woods. The power coursed through her veins. The scene changed. A baby held in arms full of such love coupled with a fierce protection. They’d been found.

And finally, the brooch cradled in delicate hands while an enchantment wove around the jewelry. The memories were bound to the brooch along with her formidable magic.

The light mixed with tears as Cory blinked her eyes open. The woman’s fear and anguish, and her fierce love of her child left behind a strong well of emotion. She remained still and tried to process what had happened. She looked down at the brooch she still held in her palm. It was no longer hot. It no longer coursed with energy. It was spent. Just a piece of jewelry. As it had been before the woman had used it to pass on her legacy while keeping her family safe. Josephine, her name had been, Josephine.

Cory flipped the brooch over in her hand. On the back, the words be safe were etched. She wiped the tears from her cheeks and sat up.

An awareness washed over her. She could feel the power inside her. It filled her and surrounded her like a warm blanket. Energy surged through the air.

She stood and walked over to the full-length mirror, grabbing a mirrored compact from her purse along the way. Moving her hair to the side she examined the nape of her neck. A soft gasp escaped her. Her birthmark was now clearly defined in the shape of a tree. A halo of leaves circled a network of branches emanating from a thick trunk.

Cory turned away from the mirror and approached the jade plant on her nightstand. Tiny threads of light cascaded from its leaves, like microscopic superhighways of energy connecting it to the world.

Touching the tip of her finger to the thick, dark green leaf she laughed out loud as joy encompassed her. The plant stretched toward her finger, and Cory smiled. She cupped the leaves in her palm and watched entranced as it brightened and grew before her gaze.

Cory stepped back and gulped.

She was a witch!
