that is needed. “This one here is special to you, is she not?” I ask her.

Aella freezes in her spot, and her bravado falls. “Do not threaten her, Barron. Please just get over it all and move on.”

She does not know my determination. I cannot move on with unfinished business. This is what my death is, and has been for so many years. “Next time you see me will be the day of your death. I will not see you like this again, Ganis.”

She tries to stand, but I leave her dream and return to my dark cell in the underworld. I will do all that I can to confront that girl, and I only have a short time until I am freed from here. When I am, then Aella Ganis will know what a demon is really capable of.

Aella’s Letter From Her Mother

June 20

th

, 2000

Dear My Sweet Aella,

This may never get to you, but I'm writing in the hopes that if anything happens to me and your father, you will still know the love I have for you. I’ve had a hard life, and I pray with all my heart that you don't suffer the same childhood that I did. I worry that you and I will never get to know one another.

Right now, you are only the size of a small cantaloupe inside of me. I have not seen your eyes, or heard your laugh, and I don’t even know if Aella will be your name when it comes down  to it. What I do know is that you are my daughter. I will do everything in my power to make sure you are safe and loved for the rest of your life.

Joseph, your father, has been the greatest thing to ever happen to me. For the past two years, he has shown me more love, kindness, and dedication than I have in my entire body. If you grow to know the kind of love that I have for your dad and that he has for me, then I believe you are a lucky woman.

I don’t know when you'll see this letter or even if you

will

see it, but I want you to know that I might not get to spend your life with you. If you are not able to know your mother, I hope you will get to meet her in this letter, and in all the letters in this journal.

For a long time, I wrote to a loved one. It was a person I have never met, someone that isn’t a person at all. I want you to have my journal when you are grown, and read every page as if you are the one I speak to. That way, you can feel the love I have for you, even if I can’t be there to hold you or raise you up into the beautiful woman that I know you will become.

I don’t know how well your dad and I will be able to protect you, but I do know that we will not fail in showing you love as much as we possibly can.

And one more thing my sweet girl. Do not run. Don't leave your people in order to protect them. Joseph and I ran, and we have been running for a long time. After all that time, we are still being hunted.

What I want from you is to make friends, have a family, and build yourself an army of  people who will hold onto you, share power with you, and fight by your side. Never give up. Your dad and I did our best with what was handed to us, but you are not us.

When the time comes that you start to develop your strength, speed, and the magic within you, you will no longer be protected from the magic that keeps you safe. At that point, you will need to protect yourself. No matter what happens, if that demon finds you, do not let him win because you are meant for greater things. Nothing will stand in your way if you don’t let it. I love you with all of my heart.

Love forever and always,

Mom and Dad

P.S. Be ready for that strength within you, your ancestry line is more powerful than you could ever know. You are capable of the greatest our world has to offer, so don't settle for less than extraordinary. I love you, my little warrior.

Chapter 1

“I’m going to miss you so stinking much!” Luna’s wild curls shake with the back and forth motion of her head. She is having a hard time accepting that I have to go back to Oregon with Gavin and the others. “I mean, I just barely got a cousin and now we don’t even get to be together everyday and get into cousin mischief!”

Luna’s round eyes and pouty bottom lip make me want to join the complaint, but I know better. “I’m sorry, Luna. I wish we could spend more time together too, but I really need to get back home and figure out the next step.”

I wrap my arms around my new cousin. Her small body sighs against me. “Okay, but you have to call me all the time!”

“Me too!” Aunt Morgan whines along with Luna.

I pull away and look up at Morgan. She sports a sad smile for our farewell, with the early glisten of tears in her green eyes. I never have known her to be much of a crier, just like my adoptive mom, Maggie. But I guess I don’t really know either of them as well as I always thought.

Ever since Morgan told me she’s a Wicca, she knew my parents, and has a daughter, I can’t be sure of how well I know anything anymore. For all I know, she’ll sprout a killer set of
