       ---------------------------------------------------------
       By the time she had arrived at the door, she was short of breath
       and gasped a little for air, composing and grounding herself
       just as Catherine caught up, asking a question that Anya
       herself, couldn’t possibly answer. What was she doing here? A
       natural instinct forced her legs to this floor and then
       continued to carry her to this particular door. She didn’t know
       who resided here, boy or girl, crazy or not, of her kind, not of
       her kind.
       Why was she here?
       
       “I obviously need to **** check something, don’t I?”
       She was still on the defense, the lights in the hallway dimming
       to a dull pale color as opposed to its usual blinding white, and
       as she stares at Catherine, her shoulders shrug in a
       don’t-judge-me-or-ask-questions-right-now kind of way. It was
       the raven-haired girl who opened the door that broke the silence
       between the two, instantly drawing her attention. Why did she
       need to know that this girl was okay? The same way she needed to
       protect Catherine.
       “Well. . .” the sentence trails off awkwardly as she crosses her
       arms over her chest, and leans against the door, “we just came
       here to, uhhh, check if you’re okay. The lights and stuff,” she
       makes a stupid gesture with a wave of her hand to the lights,
       but the commotion had stopped, and there was really nothing she
       was doing here.
       Her eyes wander over to her apartment, the pieces of glass
       scattered over the floor glistening an iridescent purple.
       “You need some help cleaning tha-”
       And before she could finish, she furrows her brows and breathes
       in sharply, lifting the hem of her sleeve to look at her wrist
       as a burning sensation grips the skin there. The shape of a
       crescent moon similar to the tattoo on her shoulder takes shape,
       like a birthmark.
       How odd.
       And then there it was; a vision that appeared right before her
       eyes, displaying who she thought was herself outside their
       house. Anya was a little older than her younger siblings, and
       probably the sharpest out of them, and she remembered their hut
       briefly, situated in the middle of what seemed to be a large
       clearing. There were other huts, of course, surrounding them,
       however, not too far in the distance, but far enough that they
       were enclosed and had privacy. And that was when she noticed the
       box of matches in her hand, and she realised that it wasn’t her,
       but that she had manifested into her mother and was watching
       this through her eyes, and when she turns her head, she is
       saddened deeply by a young Anya and Catherine, and another girl,
       who was even younger than Catherine, holding onto Anya’s hand in
       fear. Before she could inquire and take in the surroundings some
       more, she snaps out of it, her brain like a compass, leading her
       back to the hallway they were standing in, so confused, so
       baffled by what she had just encountered.
       What was happening?
       There were so many questions that lingered on the tip of her
       tongue and Anya felt like she was atop a cliff, a steep
       precipice that she wanted to jump off of. Anya was rational and
       rarely had visions, but even she knew that it wasn’t the liquor.
       This was something larger than her, something that she alone
       couldn’t comprehend. As if the vision wasn’t enough, the voices
       in her head morphed into that of one lone voice, belonging to a
       girl no older than three years, and it seemed so real that it
       was like the girl was in the hallway too, standing among them,
       and singing, in the sweetest angelic voice.
       [spoiler][center][font=georgia]There is the eldest who is the

       It is her heart whom they’ll protect
       From the devils unwholly embrace
       Hell will desire her like no other

       “What. . .the ****.”
       That was all Anya could muster as she tried to comprehend the
       events that had unfurled just minutes ago.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Catherine Anne hissed at her sister and offered her a kind roll
       of her eyes. Perfectly curled brows furrowing at the sudden
       impatience of her sister. The least she could do was fuccin let
       her know what was going on! After all, Catherine ran barefoot
       out of the house following her damned eldest sister. However,
       she didn’t voice her opinion because an argument at that
       moment wouldn’t solve or help in any way. Arms crossed
       now, cradling her breasts tightly in a stance that accented all
       the similarities between them. And then… The door opened.
       Nothing and everything made sense the moment that door opened,
       and the smell of pure marijuana slapped her across the face.  It
       wasn’t the stench that made her nose wrinkle, it was the
       shooting stab that made her head pound just once. A hard, solid
       knock behind her left temple that made her eye twitch closed.
       Only for a second of course because this stunning young woman
       looked so… so familiar... So much so that Catherine was
       left speechless. All she could do was listen to the interaction
       between them both, looking from one raven haired woman to the
       other as if they were at a tennis match and words were the ball.
       But her eyes lingered mostly on their neighbor of course. Trying
       to find features that she could not compare to Anya’s. She
       found only a few and even then it was debatable. This young
       woman was clearly younger, with a smooth almost baby like face.
       Stunning really, but so was her eldest sister.
       A chill ran up her spine as cool as before but not at all
       menacing. This time it was gentle and light. Carrying the scent
       of fresh dew… That was when things began getting even
       weirder.
       Then her sister complained and made her jump almost half a foot
       because she didn’t expect it. “Epp! The fu---Ouch!
       What d—” There was a burning pinch on her wrist, the
       same side where her sister was complaining. There it was in all
       it’s glory; a small brown sun carved perfectly into her
       skin. Her fingers instinctively ran through it and the pain
       subsided, but this all was overwhelmingly absurd.
       “A-Anya..?” She began, but just then there was a
       whisper. Another sharp pain by her temples that announced- with
       no need of interpretation, that something was wrong. Immediately
       her green eyes began scanning both women, brows furrowing even
       more in concentration and Aha! There it was! The superficial
       damage of what, maybe a rouge shard of glass? That had cut
       through her new neighbors skin just enough to make her bleed.
       Concern rapidly took over. “Oh pobrecita*, your arm is
       bleeding.” She announced, pointing at the unsuspecting cut
       in the young girl’s forearm. Much like Anya before, she
       moved by instinct, walking between her sister and the
       stranger’s door to take a better look at the insignificant
       yet bleeding cut. Cat had pushed her sister out of the way some,
       half because she was compelled to look at the cut and the other
       50% because she just wanted to look at the girl. It wasn’t
       malicious when she reached over and gently touched the younger
       woman's arm, her other hand was still placed over her
       sister’s shoulder.
       Something mystical happened just then…
       Catherine could feel a warmth that she had never felt before.
       Like electric lava surging and spreading midst her body through
       her arms and shoulders, all the way to her wrists and finally
       her fingertips. That was when with a loud gasp, she gripped on
       to both girls and the world went misty. Even though for a the
       fraction of a second she couldn't really see anything, for the
       first time she truly saw.
       To her left and to her right there were no longer two women, now
       there were two little girls. One held on to her right hand so
       tightly that it hurt and the other’s tiny little hand
       barely held three of her fingers. “Don’t do it momma
       no… It isn’t that cold, not that cold.” The
       sweet little voice said over and over again. She couldn’t
       see well though, everything else was just cloudy. But she could
       surely make out the silhouette of a woman approaching them. Then
       the smell of wood being burnt and eventually fire… And
       that was when the heat started again. This time it wasn't just
       warmth, this time it was uncomfortable.
       “Kitty?! Wait, what’s going on?!” A voice far
       away from this little mirage but close enough from reality, made
       the curly haired brunette gasp loudly and gather the strength to
       lift both hands. Immediately everything ended. The smell of
       fire, the heat, the voices and Cat was returned to her previous
       position in the middle of both women. “A-Amor? Where
       are--- Oh… oh yes, I can… I can explain.” The
       woman scanned the hall until she found her lover’s
       confused blue eyes and she ran. She ran to the safety of her
       arms where everything was simple. Where nothing was confusing or
       foggy. Where she was normal and safe.

       Re: ☾Daughters of the Moon☽
       By: Selene Date: January 25, 2019, 3:05 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       It didn’t take a genius to figure out that the two women
       standing before her were sisters, and though they looked roughly
       the same age, the way the first woman spoke with an
       authoritative tone, Selene guessed she was the oldest, and
       perhaps the one that had dragged the younger sister down,
       judging by the confusion in her face. When the first one waves
       her hand and voices her concern, she takes another pull of the
       spliff, turning her head slightly to look at her messy apartment
       before focusing once more on the strangers, “does this always
       happen? Because I can’t be fucking payi-” before she could even
       finish, the younger one interrupts with her own worry for a cut
       on her arm, tilting her neck slightly to look at the blood now
       gushing down her arm.
       Why hadn’t she noticed that sooner?
       “Errmm,” yes actually, she did need their help, and though she
       couldn’t explain it, she felt a connection to these two complete
       strangers, a connection far stronger than the one she even felt
       to her own parents, which was odd, given her circumstance, but
       before she could respond, a wave of darkness washes over her
       orbs, taking her to another place entirely.
       When she opens her eyes, she is standing before a hut, in the
       middle of an open clearing of some sort, like in the movies she
       had watched. She didn’t understand why she was here, looking
       around to justify her existence in what seemed to be a parallel
       universe, and as her eyes wander, they stop when they are met
       with three children. And there she was, a younger Selene,
       holding onto a girl’s hand, tightly. The fear in the younger
       version of her was so evident her lips turned down, her heart
       aching for her before there was a voice in her head that
       distracted her.
       “Come on Mama, burn it, do it now.”
       It was her voice.
       But now, she realised that she wasn’t in her own body, that she
       had taken over another body. Selene knew she was adopted, her
       parents hadn’t kept that a secret, and now it dawned on her that
       the body she was in was her mothers, but why was she telling her
       mother to burn the hut? When she hears the voice again, she
       turns her head to the younger her, furrowing her brows when she
       realises the voice is only in her head.
       “Catina, come,” the middle child eyed her older sister in
       protest, shaking her head, as the eldest hoisted the youngest up
       and carried her.
       “Antanasia, I don’t wanna leave Mama,” she continues shaking her
       head, tears gathering in her eyes, “she’ll die. . .”
       “CATINA!”
       The middle child jumped and followed her sister, running to her
       side to hold her free hand.
       “Starlene’s getting cold, she’s shivering, let's find some place
       to sleep tonight, and tomorrow we’ll come back, okay?”
       The vision ends, and just as she had witnessed the moon and sun
       appear on the two women before her, her own wrist starts burning
       up, looking down with wide eyes as a star appears on hers. What
       the fuck was happening? Why didn’t she have no control over
       anything, why did she feel so weak, but the strongest she had
       ever been? Her weakness was how little she knew and seemed to
       understand the situation, and in order to find out more, she
       needed to understand the two women before her. When she looks
       up, she studies the older one a little closer, and it struck her
       how alike they looked, it was like staring in a mirror. Not just
       here, but she looked exactly like the child in her vision, the
       one that had picked her up; Antanasia.
       “C-come in,” the blunt in her hand had dropped to the floor as
       she pivots and turns to the side to pull open her door, inviting
       them in.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       In the arms of her lover the world seemed less chaotic, but that
       didn’t mean this situation was less stressful or that the heavy
       fog of confusion had dissipated. Catherine lifted her now
       honey-suckle eyes from the tall blonde’s chest and was met with
       puzzled baby blue eyes. Annette’s cherry lips puckered sweetly,
       and she gathered enough breath to commence a word, though Cat
       quickly interjected with a gentle kiss. “Go home, wait for us
       there because we… don’t really know what’s happening… But It’ll
       be okay…” She reassured her lover who seemed weary but didn’t
       protest. She’d been accustomed to the oddity of the sister’s
       bond. That was enough to have the blonde take a quick look
       towards the brunettes near the door and head upstairs without a
       second glance because if she did, she’d have to stay. Maybe she
       had seen wrong, maybe it was just the fluorescence in the
       hallway but something about her lover seemed out of place. Why
       were her eyes so yellow? They were always a perfect fresh
       mountain green…
       Just in time the younger woman invited them in and Catherine,
       making sure to not make physical contact with any of them,
       carefully tip-toed barefoot into the messy apartment. The strong
       smell of pot making her nose wrinkle just the slightest bit. The
       apartment was empty as expected, aside from a few messy boxes
       and the glass lightbulb that had exploded not too long ago. Oh,
       well, an ashtray. This was one of the strangest and most awkward
       interactions Catherine had ever had in her existence. How could
       you just walk up to a woman and say ‘Oh hi! I think we might be
       sisters and I just had a premonition when I touched you… Welcome
       to the neighborhood!’. She didn’t even know where to start. But
       thankfully fate was a great ice breaker.
       “Thank you… for the invitation… I’m sorry we just barged into
       your home but, well…. Honestly, I’m not sure what’s going on… I
       guess we all know there is something strange happening to us.
       Anya rushed out of the house and I followed… I mean, it’s
       obvious we were meant to find each other… Right?”
       Catherine went on, looking between her eldest and who she
       assumed was her youngest sister. Her eyes mostly lingered on the
       youngest, scanning her beautiful features and finding each one
       more familiar than the next. From her jet-black straight hair,
       to the curvature of her lips, to the shape of her eyes and even
       the thickness of her eyelashes. Some Cat could find in the
       mirror but most she could find in Anya. Fascinating, really…
       Catherine was so concentrated in her newest sister, so entrapped
       by her that she disregarded entirely the politeness of not
       staring at another human for too long.
       [s]“Do I have something on my **** face? Why the **** she
       staring?![/s]” The thoughts were whispered in Catherine’s mind
       and startled her to the point of letting out a small yelp as she
       jumped back. The younger woman’s mouth hadn’t moved at all and
       she had heard her. It was the same voice but just in a whisper.
       As if Selene herself had leaned in  and whispered a secret that
       no one else could hear. It was almost a breath, a very clear
       collection of words that were deposited right into her ear
       canal.
       “What was that?!” Catherine questioned, turning to look at both
       of them. She saw the concern in Anya’s eyes and the hesitation
       that she already knew involved her sister moving closer to her
       aid. Kitten extended a hand to stop her oldest sister’s progress
       and didn’t break her gaze, ordering her to stay back while she
       explored this new found oddity. “No, wait… Stop Anya just stop.
       Don’t move let me…. I think I can… Just… don’t speak and don’t
       anyone move.” She had no idea how and why this happened, but she
       knew it was because of the staring. So, the middle sister
       attempted to do the same thing to her eldest sister. She began
       staring at her too, following the frown that had built in her
       brows and the shape of her face. Very much like the one in her
       previous vision. The foggy vision of a woman holding the fire…
       of their mother… Catherine knew, didn’t know why or how, but she
       just knew Anya was the one who looked the most like their birth
       mother. Something within her heart told her that she was just
       like her but stronger. She was their leader, the head and neck
       of their operation. She was the one to come to and the one in
       trouble. Anya was the one with the heaviest cross… And then it
       began so quickly that Catherine’s now honey eyes turned glossy
       and bright. They began turning so bright that they seemed to
       glow and then came the breakthrough.
       [center]

       Voices. Whispers.
       Voices. More voices.

       They started so soft and mellow and many, soon they began
       getting louder and louder. None made sense. None could be
       understood. They were just speaking without pause. It made her
       heart start beating so fast that she could also hear it drumming
       inside her ears in unison with the voices. Catherine’s breath
       got caught in her throat and fear took over. But not just fear;
       paranoia. She wasn’t just inside her sister’s head, without
       knowing she had picked her sister’s burden like a backpack and
       was carrying it away with each back step. Something or someone
       now held on to the middle sister. Cat could feel its invisible
       tentacles wrap around her neck and another hold on to her waist,
       squeezing the wind out of her lungs. Forcing her breath to turn
       shallow and quick while at the same time, it devoured her
       thoughts. There was pressure around her skull too, like a pair
       of powerful jaws slowly enveloping her head, wanting to swallow
       her whole.  It was a parasite the size of an anaconda that
       wanted to consume her every thought and Catherine could do
       nothing to stop it because fear was guiding this ship now. The
       young woman just kept taking backsteps until her back hit a wall
       and she couldn’t move anymore. Gathering just enough strength to
       call out. “Stop. Shut up… Just… Shut up!!! It’s sque---- It’s…”
       She tried to scream to no avail and ended up gasping for air
       again. Choking on nothingness.

       By: Demitra Date: January 25, 2019, 1:35 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Anya’s eyes flickered to the exchange between Cat and her lover;
       their lovestruck stares and words made her cringe inside for she
       wasn’t one that believed much in love. Actually, Anya barely
       believed in anything but what she knew to be as concrete as the
       building they were standing in right now, was that Selene was
       family, and the vision had made it obvious that she wasn’t
       extended family, but that she, like Catherine, was her younger
       sister, her other missing part; it explained the strong desire
       she felt to protect her. And to think, the three were reunited
       not only by chance but by a storm, how tragic.
       As Selene invited them into the apartment, she watched Cat
       tiptoe in, walking up behind her to observe the one bedroom -
       the walls were a little stained and it wasn’t much really, but
       Anya assumed that Selene didn’t have anyone in her life, perhaps
       it was their uncanny, physical resemblance that pushed Anya to
       believe Selene was the same as her when it came to
       relationships; no attachments formed, no strings attached.
       That way, your heart was only yours for the breaking.
       Cat’s rambling pulled Anya away from her thoughts, watching her
       sister step and stumble over her words in an attempt to explain
       the vision they just all had, the scars that appeared on their
       wrists; of course, Anya knew why this was happening, but she
       didn’t think her sisters were ready, especially Selene. The
       youngest of them all hadn’t developed the bond they now shared,
       not only that, but she had just moved into this apartment, to
       burden her with the truth, well, it wasn’t wise.
       When Anya had first learned what she was, her world turned
       upside down; she was pushed into a life that she wasn’t ready
       for and it broke her mentally, physically, and even emotionally
       but she had learned to become one with her celestial being, and
       now enjoyed the power she bestowed - she wasn’t vulnerable like
       she used to be as a child, but that power took years not only to
       refine but to control. And right now, the two girls before her
       would experience that same struggle; the struggle of identity,
       dealing with physical changes, having to control their emotions
       so as not to harm anyone, unintentionally, of course.
       And before she could say anything, there it was.
       The amber glow in Cat’s orbs.
       A look of concern washed over her features, forcing her brows to
       furrow when her sister protests, refusing to let her help so she
       stood and watched, turning to check on Selene who had taken a
       seat on the couch, her eyes struck with fear now.
       When Cat started hyperventilating and choking on thin air, Anya
       rushed forward and held her hands tightly so as to prevent her
       from strangling herself and as she screamed to whatever it was
       that possessed her, Selene started choking too. And then, it
       clicked; Cat hadn’t broken the mental connection she had
       unintentionally created with Selene and when she had skipped
       over to Anya’s mind and started hearing the voices in her head,
       Selene heard them too. And now, they heard what she had been
       dealing with her whole life. Voices telling her to kill herself,
       voices telling her how to do it, but she had to block them out
       to stop the torture it was inflicting on her younger sisters,
       and so she did.
       “Shh. . . shhhhh, it’s okay.”
       She let her voice stabilise itself and block out the others so
       all they could hear was Anya telling to calm down. And when she
       could feel Cat visibly relaxing a little, she pulled her over to
       the couch and onto her lap, holding her tight, then wraps an arm
       instinctively over Selene's shoulder too, smiling when the
       youngest of them all leans into her hold, curling herself
       against Anya’s side.
       “I’m here,” she coos softly, as if she was calming down two big
       infants, “it’ll be fine. . .I’m here.”

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Darkness wasn’t always as scary as it seemed. There was also
       comfort in midst of it. Cool and inviting to people like
       herself. But yes, there was no denying that when the world went
       black monsters were free to roam. She was there, minding her own
       business when the world turned upside down and now the man that
       seemed to haunt her dreams and force her to move across the sea,
       was just an inconvenience in comparison. Things had escalated so
       quickly that there was no time to react. First to her sister’s
       sudden outburst, second to the random silence between the three.
       There was only enough time to turn to Anya and lock clueless
       eyes. Offering her a quick shrug of her shoulders before
       everything changed. One minute she’d been sitting down and
       trying to wrap her mind around this situation, the next minute
       something had wrapped around her neck and was squeezing the
       living shitlits out of her.
       The whole world went foggy then and her hands flew to her neck,
       nails almost digging into her fresh to try and scratch out the
       invisible muscles that squeezed viciously. Voices that were so
       loud that she could not discern one from the other. A head ache
       that was maddening to the point of wanting to see her own brains
       splattered on the fucking back wall. What the royal fuck was
       this?! How?! When?! How silly it seemed to fear flesh and blood
       when there were things one could not see, one could not think
       of, or even stop. And then a thick black curtain fell on her
       eyes and the whole wide world went black.
       “If death feels anything like this, I swear to God we’re all
       better off dead. I’m not trynna be gloomy or anything but
       really, it’s an experience. First it is really scary, kinda like
       when you’re on a rollercoaster and you don’t know what’s coming
       next. But then you feel like you’re floating. I’ve never felt so
       peaceful, ya know? Like if nothing could ever touch me. Huh, for
       someone who enjoys touching herself as much as I do—he, he, he-
       not having the need for any contact is refreshing. I mean,
       there’s no need for anything really. No pain, no smell, no
       hunger, no cold or heat, no need… Just nothingness. I don’t
       really know how fucking long I stayed like that. But all the
       sudden I was in nothingness, then I wasn’t.”
       When Selene’s vision returned, she found herself outside that
       apartment complex just a couple of hours ago. She saw herself
       carrying the heavy boxes but saw something else that she’d been
       too busy to see earlier. A collection of clouds were being
       formed out of thin air. They were menacing and dark, streaming
       from a source that she could not see even in this spiritual
       state. Then the youngest of the sisters took a side step trying
       to follow herself into the apartment, but the step took her into
       another scene. This time she was upstairs in her newfound
       sisters’ apartment. She saw Anya shield Catherine from the
       shattered glass, but she could see the light blue barrier that
       then turned into a small claw that picked up the chard and
       tossed it aside. She saw the black fog inside the room and how
       it rooted from the heavy cloud. She saw the T.V flipping
       channels and the face… No one else could see the face but Selene
       did. Selene saw the man--- no, the creature’s face quickly. But
       just as she tried to move and take a closer look, it looked back
       at her and Selene’s experience came to a halt.
       Gasping for air Selene found herself now. In the protective arms
       of her eldest sister where she felt as safe as she did between
       her mothers as a child. Luna -like her mothers affectionately
       nicknamed her- wrapped an arm around her sister’s frame and held
       on to her other sister’s arm. Clinging on to them to make sure
       she was grounded and in place. She felt how Catherine also held
       on to her for dear life, both trapping the eldest sister between
       them. If there was any doubt left it was now cleared up
       completely. They were not only sisters, but bonded. Not only
       bonded, but special. Not only special, but unique.
       “I saw…. I saw--- What happened… I saw… I saw him…” Selene
       confirmed as soon as she managed to catch her breath. This time
       the ‘him’ that she was talking about wasn’t that fucking
       stalker, it was something much more sinister.

       The more the time passed, the more her sisters powers would
       unfurl and the more confused they would get and while Anya was
       planning on postponing telling them the truth, it seemed that
       now, in the confines of this small one bedroom apartment that
       telling them what was actually happening to them was the only
       right thing to do, keeping this a secret would be like stripping
       them of their birthright. Before doing anything, she begins to
       restore order, firstly, by breaking the connection between her
       and Cat, Selene had to do her part but first she would have to
       learn how to first; Anya had no control over their mental
       connection.
       Just as she is about to get up, she feels Selene’s hold tighten
       on her, her forehead creasing like ripples in the sea when her
       stare meets with her youngest sisters azure gaze, understanding
       who ‘him’ is the second it slips from her mouth. Anya sighs
       softly, managing to slide out from under her sisters to stand in
       front of them, tall, and slender as she paces left and right.
       “Right. . . okay.”
       A moment later and, “****.”
       How am I going to do this?
       She walks back over to Cat, taking her face in her hands gently
       and looking at her directly, her voice a little sad as she
       begins to speak, “I’m sorry you had to hear that, I should’ve
       seen that coming, and I should’ve prevented it,” she tilts her
       head so she is now looking over at Selene, before moving to the
       youngest, holding her face like she did Cats, “that won’t happen
       again, okay?” Selene nods, and Anya places a kiss to her
       forehead, before wrapping her arms around her, hugging her
       tightly. It was as if the woman had retrieved a lost item, only
       this lost item didn’t have a price, it was something that
       couldn’t be bought. Life had a way of sticking a knife into Anya
       and then pulling it out, but this time it also placed the
       plaster on top and stopped the wound from bleeding.
       Animated by this new certainty, she turns to the the youngest
       girl and places her palm on her arm where the blood had now
       dried, before healing the wound.
       “Just like you can do that,” finally, a little smile, “I can do
       that.”
       Now, Cat would understand why her wounds healed so quickly and
       it was amusing to think that it would click in her mind, meeting
       her gaze and laughing quietly before getting up and brushing the
       glass off of the wooden table in front of the couch, taking a
       seat on it afterwards. She pulls her packet from her pocket,
       brushing the cigarette along her lips, before lighting it,
       taking a long drag, before trying to explain what had just
       happened.
       “When we were younger, our mother, Auni, got involved in some
       black magic that our coven didn’t approve of, and there are
       consequences when you play with forces like that, you know?,”
       Another drag, “The voices started, she went mad, Selene, you
       weren’t even 4 when she wanted to burn the house. . . you
       weren’t even **** four,” there was a lot of pent up anger
       towards her mother; anger Anya hadn’t gotten to release over the
       years and she had never reconciled with the woman; for now she
       would let her sisters assume that their mother was dead, they
       had grown up in the care of far better people anyway.
       Anya knew better though. Auni was in Romania still, living a
       life that she had chosen; a mother had chosen to sell her
       children to feed a drug habit she had picked up when she had
       decided to mess with black magic. Her hand shakes a little as
       she looks up at her sisters again, biting her bottom lip angrily
       before taking a final drag, putting it out in the ashtray next
       to her afterwards.
       “We were seperated a little after she burnt the hut, and I’ve
       tried looking for you,” this time, she was talking to Selene,
       “God knows I’ve been **** looking for you, but,” she looks at
       her youngest sister in a defeated manner. Finding Cat was easier
       because they lived in the same continent, but she couldn’t feel
       Selene’s energy no matter how hard she had tried. Anya had even
       gone to lengths such as finding other witches to help her but
       nothing. It was as if Selene had a shield over her. Now, she
       didn’t know what to say, so instead of speaking she lets her
       words hang in the air, pulling out another cigarette from the
       pack.
       She lights the new cigarette, burying her face in her free hand
       and rubbing her forehead as she sighs, looking at her sisters as
       she inhales and exhales quietly, waiting for a reaction.
       All she wished was that Selene, like Cat, had been adopted by a
       good family, a family that loved her so she didn’t feel like a
       burden in this world.

       It would have been harder to understand if her life wasn’t so
       full of oddities. If the world itself didn’t seem so magical
       from the beginning. I mean, she’d have to be honest to herself
       and admit that she didn’t believe the whole ‘witch craft’ ordeal
       that her sister present. She respected Anya’s midnight
       meditations and the whole crystals-outside-her-bedroom ordeal.
       She never protested when the mentioning of herbs and spells came
       along either because Catherine knew how to respect other’s
       beliefs. Growing up catholic didn’t help much in the
       understanding of her sister of course, but in this past hour she
       realized that in life and death there was much more than heaven
       and eternal damnation.
       The middle sister listened without interruption. She listened to
       the story that she’d been too stubborn to believe the first
       time. Though of course, the first time it was without such
       details. She didn’t even think her sister remembered that much
       about their origin. But Catherine hadn’t the slightest hint of
       resentment for the eldest of the three because feeling of
       compassion overwhelmed all.
       Everything started to make sense now. From the quick healing to
       the ‘six sense’ that warned her about unwise decisions. To the
       feeling of unity when she first met Anya and now after meeting
       Selene. The puzzle was starting to come together but there were
       still plenty of pieces left to attach. “So we are definite
       witches… Like the Charmed Ones on tv?!” Cat’s sweet voice turned
       into a little shriek of excitement, looking towards her youngest
       sister and determining immediately that she was a Phoebe and
       that Anya was definitely Prue. Even though the thought was
       comical enough to force an automatic giggle, the thought of Prue
       dying for her sisters chilled her spine and made her smile
       falter. The thought wasn’t entertained long of course, soon
       Selene interrupted with a question.
       “So wait, we’re witches or something?! And…. Like… Wait, what?!”
       The youngest of the three asked looking back and forth between
       them both. Extending her hand to lightly hold on to Selene’s
       hand gingerly, as if to reassure her that everything would be
       okay. She knew this was all too much… With suddenly having two
       sisters, all the healing and the other weather bull. “I guess we
       are, dear… I guess we are…” Catherine reassured once more and
       rapidly shifted the conversation, this time shifting her
       attention to Anya.
       “What should we do next? I mean, I feel like we might need
       someone’s help? This is much bigger than ourselves and to be
       honest mi corazón*, I’m pretty sure there is so much that we
       don’t know about ourselves… About these… gifts that we have… Do
       we have more family Anya? Do we know who they are? I mean… Do we
       even know who our father is?” For the first time in a long time
       Catherine wondered about her mother. Who did she look like? How
       was she really? Before her maddening and before letting them go.
       Was she really as bad as she sounded? What was her story? What
       about their father? Was it one same man? Were there multiple?
       What happened?
       Mi Corazón= my heart;

       Luna didn’t need much proof to be convinced and it wasn’t
       because she was naive or young, but that she understood the full
       complexity of the situation, and she not only understood it, but
       she felt it; the second she ventured into that vision and the
       star sign appeared on her wrist it was as if this cerulean
       circle enclosed her, protected her almost, and then there was
       the visit to a time earlier but it was such an out-of-body
       experience that nothing else but magik could explain it. When
       Catherine makes the charmed reference she can’t help but laugh
       with her and she couldn’t ignore how natural it felt to just be
       here, with them, with her sisters.
       Yes.
       They were her sisters. When Anya had hugged her, she felt safe.
       She had felt safer than she ever had in her life, and she knew
       that from now on, Roger wasn’t going to be a problem. The eldest
       was overprotective. And though Catherine probably did it
       unintentionally, she raised a brow when her thoughts traversed
       in her mind, echoing in the confines of her brain.
       Pheobe huh. And then that same sadness took over her features as
       she looked over at Anya. It was clear as day that she hadn’t
       been adopted, like Luna and Cat.
       “We’re witches.”
       She nods; saying things out loud made you actually face them.
       They were witches, and they were sisters. When Cat starts
       throwing questions at Anya, Luna’s thoughts navigate her in a
       completely different direction; it dawned on her in that moment
       that she didn’t even need to ask for their names. She knew that
       the curly-haired beauty next to her on the couch, who was now
       holding her hand, was Catina, and that the older one was
       Antanasia, who probably went by Anya. And she was Starlene, not
       Selene. Starlene. And her mother was Auni.
       “I don’t even remember being taken,” she disrupts Cat
       unintentionally, so focused on her own thoughts that Cats voice
       became a blur in the distance, “I just remember growing up with
       who I know to be my parents, two women, who,” she stops for a
       moment to take a cigarette that Anya offered, lighting it up and
       also beginning to smoke, “have done nothing but love me.”
       But now she had the same questions as Cat. Who were her real
       parents, where was their mother? Dead, probably.
       She looks at Anya for answers.
       And she knew that from now on, she would be doing that a lot.

       As Cat’s questions cascade into the air and hang around her,
       Anya finishes her second cigarette and looks up with a sigh. Do
       we even know who our father is? Of course they didn’t know of
       the type of women their mother had been, they each had different
       fathers, but yes, Anya knew who the men were. Yes. Unable to
       push her tongue against the word, she nods in response to the
       question, self-annihilating regret spreading across her features
       and extending outwards, darkening the room. Their fathers wanted
       nothing to do with them, and despite Selene removing any doubt
       in her mind about the type of family she had been adopted into,
       it still broke Anya’s heart to look over at the two and admit,
       out loud, how much of a disgrace their parents were.
       “Our dads don’t want **** to do with us,” she mutters it softly
       looking up at Cat’s face. It pained Anya the most to tell her
       because she knew Cat was a little sensitive, and so innocent,
       and her heart was a good heart. A good heart, that didn’t
       deserve to be be thrown face-down into the darkness of their
       past life, but she also felt that same pain for Selene, because
       just by looking at the room around them, she could tell Selene
       was not much of an extrovert, perhaps it was her sisterly
       intuition that plagued her with what she knew to be the truth,
       but the young girl had missed out on so many years of being with
       them. It was time they couldn’t get back but there was also no
       point in pondering about time gone past, no. Now it was time to
       enjoy the time that was to come.
       “Right, **** them.”
       She stands up suddenly, her lips curling up devilishly as she
       tilts a head at Cat, “you really think so little of me?”
       They didn’t need anyone’s help but with both hands on her hip,
       her legs parted in a stance, Anya’s turquoise gaze travels
       around the room. Your first lesson, girls. She didn’t need to
       say that out loud because as their eyes met, the words would
       travel to their minds, and with that she raises both hands,
       conjuring enough power to then clutch it within her palms. The
       trick is to control your energy. A light blue line, the same
       shade as her eyes, circles Anya’s frame as she pushes her palms
       out in the direction of the walls on either side of her, to then
       lift her arms up.
       “Prin puterea mea, prin energia mea, curată.”
       And then, the spell, and she watched everything in the room
       assemble itself but instead of the items propping themselves
       onto shelves they are wrapped and placed back in the boxes they
       had come in, taking a seat on the table again then taking
       Selene’s hands in her own, her gaze wandering over Cat before
       she speaks.
       “Come live with us. . . huh?”
       It wasn’t asked like a question, but it wasn’t a demand either.
       She would respect her sisters decision either way, but she
       wanted her to feel like a part of this family, and they had more
       than enough room in their apartment upstairs.
       “Hell you could take my room, I don’t even **** sleep anymore.”
       Her heart thudded inconveniently as she stared at Selene. She
       had time, but no certain inclination to explain why she wanted
       Selene to live with them, because the truth of the matter was,
       she just did. It would not only be better in this fragile time
       to have people around her of the same cast but they were family.
       Anya could help with harnessing her power, stop her from
       inclining into a depressive state when she will inevitably fall
       into a realisation that she isn’t what she thought; that there
       is a line between mortals and immortals, and she was playing on
       that line. Like fire and gasoline, and she will come to realise
       the heavy burden like a weight on both shoulders and that weight
       will try to bury her but Anya will be there when it does, and so
       will Cat, to help lift it.
       “Plus,” she now smiles, even though the smile was tired, “you
       guys could practice some magic, eh?”
       Anya knew Cat wouldn’t need pressure in that regard, offering
       her a wink before looking back at Selene, who seemed to be
       staring into the distance in a contemplative manner.
       “Luna?”
