The Witching Ways by Scarlet Vance (best e book reader TXT) 📕

I walk into Jackson High School, home of the Wolves, and head for the main office. I tell the lady behind the desk who I am and she hands me my schedule. I read my schedule while walking out of the office.

First Period- French 1

Second Period- U.S. History

Fifth Period- English 11

Sixth Period- Chemistry

So I head for my first class. While I was looking for the French room someone bumped into me and I drop my books. My papers scatter around me. I bend to quickly pick them up, but the person who bumped into me had the same idea and we hit heads. With my hand to my head I gather my papers and books. I look up at the person who tried to help me. It was a boy with a round boyish face. He has light green eyes, slim lips, and a round nose with sandy blonde hair. He helps me stand up and hands me my English notebook, which I missed.

"Thanks," I mutter before I turn to continue the search for the French room.

He stops me and asks, "You're the new girl right?"

"Uh, yeah, Scarlett," I say blushing at the name.

"I'm Kyle. Do you need help around?" he asks sincere.

"Uh, I need to go to French 1." I pull out my schedule and the teacher slip to sign when I arrive in the class.

"That is by my class. I'll take you to it. This way." He leads me back the way I came.

Halfway to the office, he stopped me and pointed to the door to the French room. He told he would take me to my next class if I would like that. I told him that would be fine and walked into the room. I hand the teacher my teacher slip for him to sign. He signs it and hands it back with a work packet and some notes. I sit in the only open seat, which happens to be in the back of the room, and start working on the packet. I was the last person to finish it and hand it in.

By the time I got to my seat everyone was staring at me. But that's what happens when you have to move because of your stalker killing your parents and sisters. Now I'm stuck living with my abusive stepfather. I was about to go live with my father and was on the way when my stalker shot my father, mother, and two little sisters. He kidnapped me and had me for about a week when the police showed up and arrested him for manslaughter, kidnapping, and raping.

When I got back to my seat the bell rang. I gathered my things and headed for the door when I was cornered by a group of boys. I noticed that the teacher wasn't in the room. One of the boys grabs my waist and pulls me into him. I glance over worried and saw Kyle in the doorway. When he sees my frantic expression, he starts over toward me. The man who is holding my waist pushes me up against the wall. I start to hyperventilate when the boy was pulled back away from me. I drop to my knees and arms wrap around my waist again. This time, instead of freezing up, I close my eyes and start hitting the person.

"Scarlett! Scarlett! Stop! It's me, Kyle!" The person holding me now shouts.

I open my eyes to see Kyle staring at me with worry all over his face. I lean my head on his shoulder as His face rushes through my mind. When a hand lands on my shoulder, I look up into a pretty female face. I unwrap myself from Kyle and start standing. The lady is tall, slim, and has green eyes with pale blonde hair. She holds out her hand for me to take it.

"Hello, I'm the counselor, Ms. Smith."

I grab the packet Mr. Roy hands me and head for my seat. I start on the packet when she walks in. Her waist length medium brown hair sways around her curvy body. The pants she's wearing fits around her ass and thighs like a second skin. Even the black jacket she is wearing can't hide her large bosom. Jealousy sparks as I look around to find every guy in the room drooling over her. I nearly jump out of my desk and slam Mr. Andre Roy into the wall as he look at her with lust in his eyes. But I calm down when she shrinks from Mr. Roy as his hand skims hers when he hands back the paper she gave him to sign.

Mr. Roy tells everyone in the class that her name is Scarlett Vince. She slowly makes her way to the only open seat, which happens to be next to mine. As soon as she sits down she starts on her packet. So while she is busy I take the liberty to get a good look of her face. She has high round cheek bones, plump rosy lip, and luminescent blue eyes. The look on her face shows that she is trying to cover her pain. I will kill who every caused her pain, I think to myself. What the-? I haven't even talked to her yet and I'm already possessive of her! I slap myself mentally as I turn back to my packet.

As always I am the first to finish my packet. As I hand Mr. Roy my packet I notice he can't stop staring at Scarlett. I growl lowly to myself as I walk back to my seat. Scarlett is the last one to turn in her packet and yet again all male eyes are on her. Mr. Roy tries to touch her again but this time she just lays the packet on his desk. When she gets back to her seat the bell rings. I gather my bag and head for the door, when I glance back to look at Scarlett one more time before heading to Physical Education, I see a group of wolf-boys surrounding her and she looks worried. She looks at a boy behind me for help but I am all ready moving towards her. One of the wolves push her against the wall when I reach them. I grab the wolf's shoulder and pull him off her. He flies across the floor and his friends go after him.

"If any of you pups every touch her again I will kill you, got it?" I whisper to the pups. They nod and scurry off.

When I turn around Scarlett has her head on a boy's shoulder. Wanting to tear his head off for touching her I start walking towards them. Then Cara Smith, my creator, kneels down next to them and places her hand on Scarlett's shoulder. Scarlett looks up at Cara with so much fear in her eyes that I stop dead in my tracks.

"Hello, I'm the counselor, Ms. Smith," Cara says to Scarlett in a low non-hostile voice.
_____________________________________________

It has been two hour since I last seen Scarlett when she walked into the counselor's office before second period. I just want to bust in there and steal Scarlett away. But I can't because if I do then Cara is going to know that I care about Scarlett and then Cara is going to do everything in her power to destroy Scarlett. And I can't lose Scarlett right after I found her. Vampire only get one mate and if I lose my mate before I make her my mate then I will never have kids. Wait a fucking minute! Did I just admit that Scarlett is my mate? Holy shit! I did! She is! I'm freaking losing my freaking mind! I slam my head on the lunch table that I was sitting at as my thoughts raced on about Scarlett. When I hear someone sit down across from me I look up to see Zackary, my twin brother.

"What's up, Bro?" he asks as he stuffs his face with chips and a Dr. Pepper.

"Nothing," I say not wanting to talk about it in the open. "I'll tell you later."

"Is it about that smoking hot new girl Scarlett?" he asks innocently, but I can't help but growl at him for looking at her.

"Don't you dare look at her! If I find you talking to her I will personally kill you," I whispered where no one else could hear our conversation.

Zack raises his hand as a sign of submission and says, "So I take it it's her?"

I look down at my water and nod slowly. Zack then asks the one question I was dreading to hear.

"What are you going to do about Cara?"

After Ms. Smith took me to her office she had me tell her what happened. I tell her what happened to me in the classroom. She places her hand on mine and I shrink back. I look up at her and she looks at me sympathetically through her thick lashes.

"No honey. I didn't mean in the classroom. You can tell me about what happened with Darren Guy."

When I don't answer, she opens of the door and the principle and my step-dad walks in. I tense up when Dave Morris, my step-dad, sits next to me on Ms. Smith's couch. Mr. Sidney, the principle, leans against the door and Ms. Smith sits back down at her desk. No one talks until Ms. Smith is done typing something into her computer. Suddenly, Ms. Smith turns around and looks at me, shocked.

"Miss. Vince, we want you to talk to me every Friday until further notice. If we are satisfied with the cessions we will drop them. If we are not satisfied then your step-father is to put you into therapy cessions twice or three times a week for how ever long he wants," Ms. Smith says.

Mr. Sidney stands up straight and says, "If there is anymore problems with the other students then we will have your father-"

"Step-father," I cut him off.

"Your step-father will take you home and we will excuse you from school for a week. Ms. Smith will bring over your homework everyday and everyday she will take the homework you finished the night before and turn it in for you so it won't
