Gladioli for courage. White carnations for luck. Hellebores for peace.
Though I’d filled the sitting room with flowers and wrapped myself in
their sweet perfume, I could not forget the Council’s warning.
Miss Clara Danielle Lucas, representatives of the Most Esteemed Council
of Magicians will pay you a visit today at ten o’clock.
My heart beat in rhythm with the clock, ticking ever closer to the hour.
I threw the windows open wide and let in the delicious summer air. The
magic within me hummed delightedly as I stood in a sunbeam. And then,
after a moment of calm, it whispered, The Council has no use for a witch like
you.
My hands clenched in the fabric of my sky-blue dress. I hated the taunts
of my magic, but this time, I feared it was right. I could not help but think of
other witches my age, picking out white gowns and trying on elbow-length
gloves for the induction ceremony and the ball. Finally beginning the careers
to which they’d devoted their lives.
And I thought of Xavier Morwyn. My dearest friend from my childhood
had been certified a year ahead of schedule. He was running a shop alongside
his parents. He helped people; he made miracles. He’d become all that the
two of us had dreamed we could be.
I wondered if he ever thought of me. Or if he knew what a
disappointment I had become.
The kitchen door creaked open, and Papa pushed his way through,
holding tight to a tray of three teapots and an assortment of mismatched cups.
His blue eyes glimmered with hope—a fire within him that never seemed to
go out, no matter how many times I’d failed.
