Chapter 7

Eliza stretched out, and was disappointed to find that she was alone in the bed. It seemed like they’d only tripped the fuse the night before, as the lights had come back on after a few minutes. It was only then that they’d been able move, and made the short trip into Ethan’s bed. Which was where they’d spent the rest of the night, exploring each other in ways they’d never had a chance to when they were younger.

No matter what, Eliza would always cherish the memory of their first night together. They’d both snuck out of their houses, and met each other in the woods. It’d been summer, so still warm, and Ethan had brought a blanket and picnic with him. They’d both drunk a little bit of champagne, snatched from Eliza’s family stash, and then they’d plucked up the courage to do what they’d wanted to for months. It had hurt a bit, but Ethan had gone slowly, as unsure about what he was doing as Eliza had been. The next day, she’d had to leave, and it had broken her heart almost as much as it’d broken Ethan’s.

A chirping sound brought her back from her bittersweet memories, and she looked up to notice Bluebird whizzing around, desperate to get her attention. Eliza held out her hand, and her familiar landed on it, much smoother than a normal bird would have done.

“What are you doing here?” She stage whispered, even though she knew that the bird would only respond to her in chirps and whistles. One thing that had always baffled her about familiars, other than their secretiveness, was that they didn’t actually seem to do anything. Not that she didn’t appreciate Bluebird, because she did. She liked knowing that there was always someone around for her. But she wasn’t sure exactly what they did. The only viable theory she’d ever come up with was that the familiars were linked to their magic in some way. “Bluebird, you can’t be here,” she repeated.

Ethan’s footsteps sounded outside the room, and Bluebird vanished the moment he stepped through the door, laden down with what appeared to be a breakfast tray. Regret filled Eliza as she realised all that she’d missed out on when she’d left Ethan behind. She could have had years of mornings like this, instead all she’d had was lonely alarm clock calls and awkward mornings after.

“Yours giving you a hard time too?”

“What?” She responded instantly, confused by what he meant.

“I heard you talking, and guessed it was to your familiar.” He shrugged, and sat down on the bed, resting the tray between them. Eliza immediately picked up the mug closest to her and took a drink, enjoying the perfect cup of coffee. Now that she knew Ethan was a witch too, she had little doubt that magic was one of the reasons he could make such good coffee, especially if he’d been able to use it since he was a child. She briefly felt a spike
