Lila stood in the middle of her room, her eyes fixed on the once brilliant Moon Gem that lay on her dresser. It dimmed and pulsed weakly, almost like it was angry. The skin at the base of her throat was red and blistered from when it burned her only moments ago. She hadn’t bothered to wear the gem since she attempted to activate it using her blood. It should have worked… it should have been activated.

It was her birthright after all.

It was said that her magic was stored inside this gem from the moment she was born because her magic was too powerful for her infant body, so the witches took it and put it inside this gem until she was old enough.

Since she burned it in that small ritual she had in the woods with Daisy, it’s been too hot for her to put the gem back around her neck. Today, it seemed as though it had finally cooled enough where she could put it back on, but she was wrong. The second it touched her neck, it scorched her hotter than it’s ever been.

doorframe.

Her eyes were red from the tears she had previously cried, and her cheeks were flushed from climbing up the side of the manor to reach Lila’s bedroom balcony. This wasn’t the first time Daisy had come to see her this way; she wasn’t allowed to just walk in through the front door, and she did

Lila couldn’t blame her for that, though; her brother was an asshole and had no business doing what he did to Daisy.
