Little Trouble Maker

Winter's POV

"Ok boys! We know that the vampires are close, so I want you all to carry your scythes with you at all times," Kyle said before breakfast. I just nodded when he looked at me and went to the basement to get our scythes. When I walked back up everyone was almost done so I went outside to clean them real quick.

Everybody's that is not important (sorry not sorry) scythes

Kyle's scythe

Winter's scythe

When I finished cleaning and waxing the weapons the others came out. I handed them their scythes and they all held them out for me to do my magic. Yes, I am a half witch. It came from our mother's side, it skips every other generation so our grandmother taught me all I know. Everybody thought that my brother would get the genes and when he didn't and I did was a very big surprise for everyone. That is another reason that my brother won't let me out without supervision. I am the witch of our group, so I get a little more leeway, that and the fact I am the younger brother of the leader.

Anyways I walked up to two of them at a time and started my enchantment.

I thought of what I wanted to do, which was to hide or conceal.
Then I kissed the scythes before whispering conceal.
When that was done I took the scythes before dipping them in the little stream right beside the house.
When I pulled them back, the scythes were now necklaces and I gave them back to the boys before starting again with the others.

The necklace's

You see I am a solitary witch, we like to be alone so we are naturally independent and enjoy working alone. While some witches find comfort in practicing magic within their covens, I'd much rather do all the work myself, that way I can know everything is correct and experiment with spells whenever and however my heart desires.

I know that there are other witches that work for the vampires so they can tell a human from a witch. I really should update the protective barriers around the clearing today, they have been going out recently.

When I was done I looked at my brother and saw him looking towards the forest. "Kyle? Is everything ok?" I asked him. He looked at me and smiled, "Everything is fine, though you need to fix the barriers today don't you?" He asked I nodded while walking towards the clearing edge.

"Bless this house,
May peace dwell within.
Protect all that enter,
Whether friend or kin.
Bless every door, window, ceiling, and wall,
Bless each room, closet, basement, Bless it all.
Bless the roof & ground surrounding with your
protective love & light
Hold us in your loving care every second of
every day & night.
As Above and So Below,
So, Mote, it Is!"

When I finished I fell into my brother's arms. "Sorry," I said before standing on my own feet. Kyle just chucked, but it was deeper than usual. "Oh, you have nothing you have to be sorry for my baby," I froze when I heard a voice I didn't know. I slowly looked behind me to see a man about the age of twenty-nine, with blond hair and gold eyes. I quickly run back to the house to warn the others, when I get to the house I see all the others around the table.

"Boys! Problem! Vampires are on their way here, one is already in the barrier," I said while looking at my brother. Kyle just curses and runs out of the house while the others follow. I run out just in time to see my brother unleash his scythe. I unleash my scythe and look around for the vampire in the barrier when I see him I quickly start a spell that will call my brother to my location if he isn't in trouble.

I was stopped when the vampire grabbed my arm and covered my mouth with his hand. I glared at him but he just cooed. "It's alright Mio Piccolo Angelo, we won't hurt you," The vampire said while caressing my arm. I flinched a little when he pulled my scythe out of my hand and threw it away from me, making the scythe turn into ice in the air. "You won't be needing this where we are going," He picked me up bridal style and carried me away from the others that were fighting.

"No!! I can't leave them!! Let me go!!" I yelled while hitting his chest. "Kyle!!" I yelled, hoping that my brother can hear me and come to help me get away from this monster. "Winter!!" I heard my brother yell from behind the vamp. "Kyle!! Help me!!" I yell while kicking and hitting the vamp, that ignores me and my hitting and kicking and continues to walk away.

I finally get free enough to see behind the vamp, but I wish I didn't.

My older brother was on the ground with blood running out of his head. "Kyle?" I said scared that he was dead, with a vampire just above him. "Kyle!!" I start to cry when I see his dull eyes. "No, no, no, no," I kept saying, still looking at my dead brother, who is now being fed on by the vampire from before. The vampire holding me covers my eyes with his hand and shushes me. I can't stop crying while I feel the vampire's hold on my body change, and he sits on something. "Shush little one. Everything is going to be fine. I won't hurt you," Is the last thing I hear as I fall unconscious.
