January 19th, 2024. The beginning.

by Ally Grainger (and Misty)

She lays down in bed ready to try to get a good night of sleep, or so she hopes. She looks down at her feet and her cat, Misty, purrs loudly. She knows her soulmate is in a bed nearby. She didn’t mean to find love and she certainly wasn’t looking for it, but life is full of surprises that way. It seems just like yesterday that she was hired to perform a spell that he wasn’t able to do, and here we are. He stumbled upon a nice young lady who allowed him to rest there that day. She sees this lady from the corner of her eye, next to a young man. Appears to be a family member of some sort. Her spell-book is hidden under her mattress and under her pillow is her dagger. Her cousin is somewhere nearby, Misty stumbled upon her earlier in the day. She hasn’t seen her cousin in at least 20 years. Tomorrow could either be the beginning of the best choice she ever made, or a mistake. Only time will tell. Until then, she throws her pink hair up in a ponytail and drifts off to sleep…. Until she hears screams. Misty jumps from a deep sleep…. Crap, she says.
