Chapter 24

CERI

“That was not my fault!” Ceri yelled at her aunt.

The woman stood in front of her, face splotchy with rage, arms crossed. “I hired you as a courtesy to you mother, but you have been nothing but trouble! Coming in late, picking fights with customers. With the freaking Blackwood Coven.”

“She dumped that potion on herself.” She curled her hand into a fist. There were dozens of spells she could cast with a simple chant and the flick of her wrist to shut her aunt up, but none of them could fix this. She should have cursed Selena while she could.

“Enough!” her aunt screeched. “You’re fired! Just get out!”

She twisted the fingers of her left hand and took a step toward her aunt. “As you have sown, so may you reap.” The spell could be both a blessing, or a curse, but they both knew how it would end up. Karma was always fair.

Her aunt’s face darkened. “The same to you.”

She brushed past the old witch and left, slamming the door shut behind her, hands shaking with impotent rage. If she had fought back, it would look like she had attacked them unprovoked. She had hoped family would side with her. But, just like everyone else, her aunt loved power more than anything else. And anyone who wanted power in this city sucked up to the Blackwood Coven.

Her phone rang, the ringtone alerting her that it was her least favorite relative calling: her mother. Word traveled fast.

“Hello,” she answered, voice curt.

“Enough is enough,” her mother growled into the phone. “You have embarrassed us repeatedly. No matter how many chances I give you, you still manage to screw up. Your father and I are done supporting your immature decisions. Your things will be on the front lawn, and if you don’t come get them within an hour, they’ll be gone with the trash.”

Every word felt like a knife in her gut. Of course her mother wasn’t on her side. She never had been. Never would be.

“And you are not welcome in this house, or this coven. I don’t want to see you–”

“Don’t worry, you won’t ever have to see me again.” Rather than listen to any more of her mother’s hateful ranting, she hung up the phone. She knew this would happen eventually, but for some reason that didn’t make it hurt any less. As she walked to her car, it felt like she was floating. Like none of this was really happening. Perhaps it was all a bad dream.

She reached for the car door, but stopped short, alarm cutting through the mental fog. The beat up old car looked normal but she felt something wrong.

Crouching down beside it, she whispered a spell of revelation. The car lit up like a beacon. It was wrapped in dozens of curses, all nasty and meant to harm her if she touched it.
