Chapter Seven

A mile into the forest that would lead home, Zoie was no less distressed than when she had started her run.

She had raced through the trees without direction. Panting, she stopped and howled with heartache.

It was the fall season and the leaves had been turning, and gliding on their way to the earth. Zoie tried concentrating on the beauty of it all.

Think about the leaves, she told herself as she tried to come to grips with what she had been telling herself all along. Owen Slade was a player. Why had she thought otherwise?

It was Saturday, and by now, Ralphie and Brock were probably closing up the mill and the store. Think of something other than Slade became the mantra of the hour. Right—like that was going to work.

Where was she? She looked around and realized she was at the North Woods where Wolfe met Bracken lands. The portal? Damn, if she wasn’t near the spot.

She got up and slowly made her way a quarter of a mile to have a look, but as she got closer, she got a buzzing sound in her ears. She shook her pretty silver mantle and swiped at her nose with her paw.

What was that? An odd scent and the humming noise? Where was the sound coming from?

No doubt, Tristan Wolfe and her dad would make arrangements with their most powerful witches to maintain the seal and keep the portal impenetrable. However, they would need more than power to defeat an experienced warlock. They would need specific skills.

All at once, she thought of her friend.

Carrie Engles had always been a loner during her years at school, but she and Zoie had met and become tight.

Carrie was so much more than an earthly witch. She had been orphaned and raised by the Engles, earthly witches that were part of the Bracken pack and lived at the edge of Bracken Falls. The little family had kept to themselves most of their lives, except during emergencies when they were always there for the pack. Their magic was of the ‘light’ variety, and it was their goal to use magic as little as possible.

The Wolfe and Bracken packs made it known they were not to be bothered, and as a child, and then later as a teen, Carrie had always been safe amongst the shifters.

Humans? Quite a different story.

Some of the human teenagers started picking on Carrie when she walked the halls alone. At first, it was all about her quirky clothes, which Zoie actually thought suited her friend, who looked ‘old world hippie’. Then, it was all about Carrie’s long platinum hair.

Zoie and Carrie were friends, but Carrie, who was shy, never told Zoie what humiliations she was suffering at the hands of some ‘mean girls’ in school.

Zoie found out quite by accident.

Five ‘popular’ human girls, girls Zoie had always avoided, chose to circle Carrie in the gym. Zoie had been passing by the gym’s closed doors when her fine hearing had picked up on the slurs, and she slammed the doors of the gym open wide as she stormed in.
