Free The 13th Witch Complete Trilogy by Stacey Thompson-Geer Page A

thought about the first day that I'd seen him and the feelings that I'd had right away and realized it had to be real and I was just trying to find a reason to make myself crazy.
    I got up from the large bed as quietly as I could to put my clothes on. The last thing that I wanted was for his sister to catch on to what had just happened. Even though it was a private matter, I still wanted to keep a good relationship with her as well as with Conner.
    I couldn't help but look back one more time at him before I opened the door and a smile crept to my face. In all of this stuff that had been happening, something good had come from it and I might be able to hold onto that for once in my life.
    I closed the door to his room behind me and started down the hall to the room that I had been staying in. I still assumed that it was mine to use while I needed to. When I got to my room, I opened the door and sat on my bed. There was no way that I was tired now. It was late at night now, but my mind was still thinking of what had just happened. The way that he touched me and the complete feeling of being safe and in love. Conner was not just a fling that I was having to forget what I'd been going through; he was one of only a couple to ever see me totally.
    I couldn't help but to smile to myself as I thought about it. I just wanted to talk to a girlfriend and tell her all about Conner and who he was, but I couldn't. There was no one that I could trust, but Conner and myself.
    This magic fight was coming all too fast and I knew that I had to be ready. I knew how to protect myself and how to travel around. I also knew how to defend myself if I had to, but I had no idea what my gift was and how far I could take it.
I had been having odd dreams lately. Maybe that was what it really was.
     
If that's all it is, then I'm screwed.
     
I laid down on the bed to try and get some sleep, but my mind was still full of thoughts and fear. When I finally got myself to relax I was waken in a start.
    There was a lot of noise coming from the front room of the house. It was not sounds that made a person feel safe at all and I debated for a moment about staying under the covers and closing my eyes.
    I rose from the bed that I'd been trying to sleep in and started towards my door. It was down the hall a little from the stairs that lead to the front room below. The noise got louder and I realized it was people talking in the room below. I listened harder as I made my way to the bottom of the stairs.
The voices belonged to two people that I knew, Conner and my father. They were talking louder now. “You can't go there on your own.” My dad yelled at Conner
    “I have to. She was my sister.” Conner yelled back at my dad. He was pacing the short distance between the stairs and the front door as he spoke.
“She's already gone. There is nothing left for you to do.”
    “I'm going to end this right now. I can stop them before they hurt anyone else and keep them from turning magic like you know they are planning”
    I rushed down the remainder of stairs to the front room and stood right in between them. My dad looked at me with frustration and sadness in his eyes. I looked over to Conner and he met my gaze with anger and rage.
“What are you planning?” I said to him, my voice was almost a whisper.
     
He looked at me and then back at my dad.
    “Anna was killed at the shack yesterday.” My dad answered instead of Conner. “Now he's planning on getting revenge.”
“It's not anyone’s business what I'm going to do.” He said coldly.
    “I care about what you’re going to do. If you go there..... You’ll die.” I almost was yelling this now. I didn't want him to go there. Not now.
    “What do you know about anything? You’re just a naive little girl that thinks the world should revolve around you!” He yelled at me coldly. I almost burst into tears right then. It cut through me all the way to the edge. I felt the rage come after that and pulled the
