“Wow. This is not how I expected the place to look. What happened here?” I asked, peeking through the front window at the Witch Avenue Covenstead.

We’d only been back in Seattle a couple of weeks and had avoided most of the Coven hotspots until my mom was situated. I didn’t want to bring any unwanted attention to our already precarious situation. I had visions that the covenstead was a target, but we didn’t want to investigate until we were sure my mother was safe.

“What’s up?” Logan asked, leaning over me to peer through the glass. His body pressed up against mine as he tried to get a better look inside, and I didn’t really want him to move. Get a grip!

“It looks completely trashed,” he replied, his voice low. The warmth of his breath rippled across my skin, creating a trail of goose bumps, and I cursed myself for being so easily distracted.

Forcing myself back on track, I squinted through the soot-stained windows and saw the pew benches overturned and piled on top of each other, along with a scattering of ceramic pieces where vases once stood, and papers tossed out of drawers. The carpet looked scorched, and the woodwork had evidence of burn marks. It was like someone attempted to burn the place down.

“It looks abandoned.” I shook my head. “And here I was worried I wouldn’t be let in. I doubt anyone is even here.”

“That’s probably the least of our worries,” Logan replied. “Looks like your visions were right.”

“Guess the fairies really did give me that power.”

He grabbed my hand and pulled me back to the sidewalk. He flashed me his beautiful grin and his blue eyes sparkled as the afternoon light hit them, but there was something heavy lurking behind them. He ran his fingers through his dark hair and the breeze insisted on ruffling it up once more. He was in a loose pair of dark jeans and a black t-shirt, with an unzipped grey sweatshirt. He caught me taking him in, and I flushed.

“Think it might be Eben?” I asked, attempting to shift the focus of the conversation back to where it needed to be.

“It wouldn’t surprise me. It looks like someone trashed the place and took off.”

“I hope that’s the case.”

“I guess he has to find people to do a lot of the dirty work since my father’s a bit incapacitated at the moment.”

“Let’s hope your father stays that way.” Logan’s expression darkened even more.

I glanced over at Logan and then toward the entry. “Ready?”

“I have a feeling he’s got a lot of followers clamoring for a chance to show off their loyalty,” Logan replied. “We’ve gotta be careful.”

“Such weak-minded fools,” I muttered.

Logan reached for the large, wooden door leading into the covenstead, and it opened right up allowing us to see the devastation up close.

I pushed the growing fear aside as I smelled the smoke from the many fires that had been set inside.

“I hope the library is intact.” I walked into the foyer, dodging the piles of broken items and flipped the light switch on… only no lights appeared.
