Mid-morning

After transporting Roam and herself out of the crime scene that was Morgan Hensley’s office, Honey had thrown a bubble spell over all of Cauldron Falls. It was a combination spell that didn’t let anyone transport out of the bubble, but it also didn’t allow anyone to transport into the bubble either. She was wiped out from casting such a widespread spell over the whole town and the woods beyond. Roam instructed her to go straight home and act normal, while he and the Shifters took the necessary steps to start an official investigation.

“But what about Gloria?” Honey had said as tears ran down her cheeks. “I have to check on her. What if…”

“Now, don’t go thinkin’ the worst ‘bout everything and everyone. I shouldn’t have let you go in that place before I cleared it myself. I’m sorry about that Honey. I was not thinkin’ straight.” Roam’s concern washed over her.

“It’s fine. I’ll be fine. It’s just so awful.” Honey sniffed and wiped her face.

“Yeah. It will be fine. Cauldron Falls, back in the day, had a fair share of ugly. That was probably before you’re time. But don’t you worry. I’ll take care of this.” Roam laid his hand on her arm. “I’ve gotta get going now. You good?”

She nodded her head and watched him trot off toward the edge of the woods. The fact that Roam O’Reilly was not a warlock, was easy to see. He was absolutely animalistic. His jet black hair, muscular frame, and bright blue eyes were all giveaways that he was not your average creature. As a panther Shifter, Roam was a very rare species. Like Honey, he wasn’t a native Cauldron Falls inhabitant, and not really Murphy O’Reilly’s son. Both were adopted. But everyone knew Roam’s story. No one knew where Honey came from. Murphy had rescued Roam from the clutches of disaster on one of his many trips around the world. The poor Shifter was being sold in to servitude to an off-shoot tribe of witches and warlocks on some far away island. Murphy purchased Roam by turning over a whole collection of exotic herbs and spices convincing the wicked tribe if they made the potions with the booty they could open a black hole to another parallel universe, which of course it would not. With Roam safely in his possession, Murphy backtracked his route and replenished his spices and herbs, brought Roam home and raised him own alongside his biological daughter, Uma. Honey knew Roam’s adoption story as if it was her own. Now, that Roam spent his days running free through the hills and valleys around the small town, she didn’t feel bad being a tad bit jealous of his origin story. That tad bit of jealousy didn’t prevent her from listening intently every time Murphy O’Reilly belted it out in the pub. He told it with such character and love. The only real reason she was jealous at all was because she didn’t have a tale about her own origin to match it.
