When The Moon Calls

Chapter 36

The following two weeks were very peaceful. Michael had sometimes skipped the training to spent time with Stacey. Now that they were officially a couple he realized how different she really was. The girlfriends he had in his past life alway wanted to spent as much time as possible with him. Stacey don"t. She enjoyed the time with him but also liked to be alone.

She loved to train, read and hunt around Palmer Falls.

Richard started to travel around the country with James and George. They recruited more and more families. They had already recruited 23 influential families across USA. Anna stayed in Palmer Falls, managing the whole town. She formed a council that was filled the founder families. The members were the heads of the Greyshaw"s, Norwish"s, Adams, Taylor"s, Dawson"s and the Saints family. Leroy and Odette were happy that their mother was part of it.

He left the school while holding hands with Stacey, Claudia and Ceddy, Rachel and Chris were doing the same. Michael wanted to walk to his car when he was stopped by two strange girls.

The one to the left scanned Stacey up and down. She shot a disgusted look at Michael, "You leecher, is she the reason you left the circle?" She had bright blond hair, and looked quite cute with her gla.s.ses on.

Everyone looked confused at her, exchanging questioning looks. Michael didn"t know what to say.

The other girl with long dark brown hair and deep brown eyes observed his every expression silently. She grabbed the blond girls arm, pulling her back.

"What"s wrong Julia?" Asked the blond girl surprised.

"That isn"t Jonas!" She said decisive.

"What are you talking about? He is Jonas." Protested the blond girl.

The other girl didn"t bother to argument, flicking her fingers.

*SNAP*

Michael touched his chest, the talisman that Susan gave him broke into many parts.

The eyes from both strange girls widened in shock. They looked at Michael as if he was some kind of monster.

Everything happened too fast. The girl with deep brown eyes slapped on the ground, creating a gust of wind. They vanished right in front of everyone"s eyes.

The group needed some moments before realizing what just happened.

"What the h.e.l.l did just happen?" Asked Ceddy.

They turned their heads to Michael.

"I think they were witches from the Northern Chaos Circle that came to visit Jonas. They thought I was him. Well not the one with long dark-brown hair, she reacted way too fast." Explained Michael.

"I need to contact both, Aunt Susan and Jonas."

------------------------------------------------------

"Are you telling me the truth?" Asked a harsh female voice.

The both girls looked at each other, "Yes mother, we saw it clearly. His whole body was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with dark magic."

"I"m beginning to understand what happened...."


A woman wearing a tight white robe revealed herself in front of both girls.

A bright rune floated in front of her, "Great Witch Susan Atura Millenia commited treason, I Elder Witch Zarabia Atura Millenia command all the available Great Witches to detain her immediately. Meet me at my Tower afterwards." Her harsh words lit up the rune in front of her.

Both girls exchanged worrying looks, "Mother, is it necessarily to detain Aunt Susan?"

They couldn"t see her expression because of the hood but...

"I"m sure , that the magical disturbance was caused by the boy you met, and Elder Pelion"s sudden disappearance should be related to him too. Susan should know of it. Now it makes sense why Jonas left the circle, he met his twin brother. Susan betrayed the circle...she hid a warlock, had her hands in the disappearance of Elder Pelion...these are serious acts of treason."

Both girls paled while listening to their mother.

------------------------------------------------------

"Strange, I can"t contact Susan. At least Jonas is on his way here." Said Michael.

A foreboding feeling spread across his body.

He looked at Chris beside him. "Call everyone."

Chris nodded, taking out his phone.

A violent gust of wind washed over them, making them close their eyes. They were shocked when they saw many figures appear in the sky, not far from them.

Michael"s eyes narrowed, he counted at least 20 people. Their heavy magical aura pressed down on them.

"May I ask who you are and why you appear here?" Asked Michael.

A woman wearing a tight white robe floated to the front, she looked down at them, "I"m Zarabia Atura Millena, an Elder of the Northern Chaos Circle. We are here to take you with us, to answer some questions." Her harsh voice echoed through the surroundings.

Michael looked around, he noticed that no one of the residents came out.

Zarabia guessed Michael"s intention, "Don"t bother to look for help the area has been locked. No one will hear, see or notice us here."

He looked back up to her, "You name, are you by chance related to Susan Millenia?" Asked Michael.

"She is my youngest sister."

"Oh? Can I request to bring her? She will explain everything."

"That isn"t possible, she is currently detained and will face her punishment once we know all the facts."

Dark lines appeared on Michael"s face, "Well I don"t feel like coming with you. I"m not part of your circle, your rules doesn"t concern me." Said Michael harshly.

Zarabia smiled faintly, "See that"s where you are wrong you are the son of my sister Amelia Atura Millenia, that makes you part of our circle even if you don"t want it."

Michael stared at her, "I will give you a chance since you are my biological aunt....leave. Leave and don"t bother me anymore, I have no intention to be part of your circle."

Zarabia smile became wider, "You don"t get to choose anything."

Magic power gathered on her palm, she aimed at Michael, shooting out a four meters wide and long ball made of fire at him.

He frowned, lifting his hand. A vortex made of pure darkness formed in front of him, like a shield. The fireball crashed against it, a surprised look appeared on the witches faces when they saw the fireball disappear inside the vortex.

Michael clenched his fist, making the vortex vanish.

"Interesting!" Said Zarabia.

"It looks like dark magic but I have never seen it being used in such a way. It also doesn"t give off an evil aura. You didn"t used sacrifices to gain it, tell me how did you develop it?" Asked Zarabia rather excited.
