Great another new town and another new school.I should be used to it since my dad is in the Army, but this time it's different my parents

divorced so my mom moved us to a little town called Abbot,Texas.

My name is Kiera Cormac and I'm not like most girls I'm a witch,

I'm here in this little hole in the wall town in the bible belt of

all places, not a place for us.  My mom says we can practice in

secrecy so no one will know.  I go along walking down the hallway of the school looking for the office with kids staring at me because I'm the new girl thank the goodness the office is right in the front me so I don't have to ask anyone. Hi I'm Kiera Cormac I'm new here, I say to the secretary who is wearing glasses too big for her birdlike face.

Ok here is your class schedule, and your locker number you may want to buy you a lock for it.  She tells me.  I trudge off to the direction of my first class Ms. Hopkins English 1 a subject I like.

Ms. Hopkins looks at me and addresses the class Class we have a new a student this is Kiera Cormac, please make her feel welcome, everyone politely says hi and I go sit down listening to the whispers of some of the girls Look at her dress it’s hot why would anyone want to wear a long black dress in the summer, Did you see that necklace? I bet she is a devil worshipper.  I go through the day like any other ignoring all the snide remarks.  Finally, time to go home I jump in my car and head for my house which is on the outskirts of town. When I get home mom is already there. She looks at me and frowns So how was your day? she asks. I just look at her and say It sucked I hate this stupid place! These people hate our kind here! and I storm off to my room.  A few minutes later mom comes into my room Kiera I'm sorry you had a bad day but it's only your first day it will get better I promise. Mom tells me as she sits on the side of my bed.

I know, you're right, tomorrow will be different.  She hugs me and

goes back downstairs and starts making supper.  I come downstairs and help her Don't forget tomorrow night is a full moon I thought we would go out into the woods behind the house and have our own circle?

I love that Idea!

We finish up dinner and I head up to bed hoping that things will be

better than they have been lately.

The next morning, I wake up and dress like a normal 16-year-old

and head downstairs for breakfast then off to school.  A girl I

didn't notice yesterday sits beside me and says "Hi my name is

Cassandra Creswell but you can call me Cassie you're the new girl

right?"

That's me, I am Kiera.

Where did you move here from?

From Portland, Oregon."

Must be nice living where it's not so hot?"

Actually, it's not much different than it is here."

Ms. Hopkins begins her lesson thank goodness I already knew the

the lesson we covered it in Portland last year because I couldn't

concentrate on nothing but the night's festivities.  The rest of the

the day goes by fast soon it's time to go home, but instead of mom being there I find a not she left that reads Sorry got to work late, rain check on tonight. Great!!!  I go upstairs to my room fly through my homework and get ready for my own solitary circle out in the woods behind our house. Mom finally gets home at about nine o'clock but I am already in bed even though I'm not asleep, she opens my bedroom door and peeks in I just roll over pretending to be asleep.

Wednesday morning, I wake up and go downstairs to see my mom

making breakfast, which she hasn't done since I was a little. "Good

morning Kiera she says I hope you're hungry".

What are you doing you haven't made breakfast for me since I was little?

She comes over to the table and sits down and says "Well I figured

I would do something nice since I missed our circle last night, and to apologize to you."

Mom no need to apologize to me I went and did my own solitary circle last night everything is fine, and I know you had to work late we can do it another time. I tell her between mouthfuls I get up and give her a hug on my way up to get ready for school. As I pull up to the school I see Cassie getting out of her dark blue Mustang she walks over to me and my 1970 Chevelle my dad got me for my 16th birthday. Wow I love your car, Cassie says looking it up and down. Thanks, it was my birthday present from my dad he restored the whole thing."

My dad can't even put a table together she says with a laugh. Just then the bell rings signaling the first period we head to our English class when Cassie mentions that there is a group of kids that get together every Saturday night and that I was welcome to come. Sounds like fun, I say What kind of things do you do?" She looks a little nervous but
