8. Alisa
âTonight we opened a rift in the world, in time, in life. I fell to my knees in awe as the source of our power swelled above my head. I could only stare in wonder as my coven leader called upon the dark power, right in front of us. Every day I thank the Goddess I found this coven, Amyranth.â
â Melissa Felton, California, 1996
âAlisa, are you okay?â
My head snapped up to see Mary K.âs big brown eyes gazing at me with concern. We were sprawled in Mary K.âs room after school on Monday, listening to music and sort of doing homework.
âIâm okay.â I shook my head. âItâs just, like, everythingâs coming down on me at once. Itâs giving me a headache.â
Mary K. nodded sympathetically. âEveryone has a headache lately. It must be the weather.â I was so glad that we were friends. My best friend had moved away at the end of last summer, and though I still missed her, being friends with Mary K. had helped a lot.
âLike the wedding and Ms. Herbertâs science fair project?â she asked.
âYeah.â Oh, and the fact that I was half witch. That, too. I hadnât told Mary K. about my realizationâI knew that she still had a problem with Morganâs involvement with Wicca, and I wasnât ready to test her reaction.
âAny ideas for the science project?â
I thought. âMaybe a life-size modeling-clay version of a digestive system?â
Mary K. giggled. âFun. Iâm thinking about something with plants.â
âCan you be more specific?â
Her shiny russet hair bounced as she shook her head. âI havenât worked out the details.â
We both laughed, and I pulled over the box of Girl Scout cookies and had another Thin Mint.
âAny wedding news?â
My eyes closed in painful memory. âRight now the flower-girl dress of choice is emerald green, which will basically make me look like I died of jaundice, and it has a big wide bow across the ass. Like, look at my humongous big butt, everyone! In case you missed it!â
âI still canât get over the fact that youâre the flower girl,â Mary K. laughed, falling back on her bed, and it was hard for me to remain sour.
âMy backup plan is to break my leg the morning of the ceremony,â I told her. âSo Iâll be bringing you a baseball bat soon, just in case.â
I turned my attention back to my algebra problems. Art class I was good at. But all these little numbers jumping around the page just left me cold. âWhat did you get for the equation for number seven?â I asked, tapping my pencil against my teeth.
âA big blank. Maybe we should get Morgan.â
âIâll get her,â I said casually, getting to my feet. There was the slightest surprise in Mary K.âs eyes that I would voluntarily talk to the witch queen.âWhere is she?â
âIn her room, I think.â
Mary K. and Morganâs rooms were connected by the bathroom they shared.The door to Morganâs room was ajar, and I tapped on it.
âMorgan?â
âMpfh?â I heard in response, and I pushed open the door.
