The 13th Witch Complete Trilogy Read Online Free PDF Page A

When you were born, I took you from them and gave you to the parents that you know. They were witches at one time and could protect you without denying you a normal life.
When I took you, I bound your gifts until your 18th
    birthday. This would also give you a chance to be normal for a time, but I fear it may have been a mistake. You will not be as advanced in your magic as others your age and you may not be able to protect yourself. Your mothers’ necklace should offer you some help and enhance your powers. I expect that Conner, my son, and Anna, his sister, have given you this letter and will help you to learn what you need to.
Be well, Animara
    I finished reading the letter and was still somewhat confused. I looked up from the letter and folded it back into the envelope. What did all this mean and why was I stuck in the middle.
    “You’ll be safe here. No one can break the barriers that includes dark magic” Conner said as he took off his coat and sat down in the couch beside me. “There is an extra room upstairs that you can use.” I looked up at him as he talked.
    “I have to get back to my family. They will worry about me.” I looked into those blue eyes again as I talked and felt safe in this crazy world that had been revealed to me.
    “It’s too dangerous tonight, but maybe we can go and check on them in the morning.” He smiled slightly as he talked. I didn’t know if I believed him, but I didn’t think that I could leave the house anyway.
    I nodded in agreement and melted into those eyes of his. He lifted his hand and pulled a stand of my dark brown locks out of my face and placed it behind my ear. The touch of his hand made me shudder a little. It was kind of nice to have someone that wasn’t related to me touch me in such a gentle way. He looked up at the door as it opened and a young woman walked in. I looked over at the door and she looked back at me, then at Conner.
“What’s going on here?” She asked genuinely.
    The woman was a pretty girl with the same jet black hair that Conner had. She was wearing a nice red button down shirt and dress pants. I figured that she had been working and had come home just now. I couldn’t be sure though.
    Conner stood from the couch and straightened his posture. “Nothing really. This is Lucy. She’s going to stay in the spare room tonight.” Then he looked at me “This is Anna, my sister.”
    Sister, thank god. I smiled back at him and then looked at her. “Hi” I said relieved that she was a sister and not a lover. “I do need to know something. Why were you at Jes’s apartment today?”
He hesitated but sat back down beside me to talk. “I followed you there.”
    “What did Jes have to do with it? She was my friend; at least I thought she was.” I really didn’t get what she had to do with all of this. I’d known her for a few years and thought that I could tell if she was a good friend or not.
    “Jes isn’t a witch, but she wanted to be. It’s all very complicated.” He stopped at that and looked at the wall to see what time it was. “It’s getting late. We should all be getting to bed. You have had a long and hard day today. You need to rest.” He smiled slightly and got back up from the couch. “I’ll show you were you can stay tonight.” He turned to start up the stairs that were to the back of the living room. “Are you coming?”
    I slowly rose from the seat and started to follow him up the stairs. They were dark and carpeted in an old looking flower pattern flowed on the walls. When I got to the top of the stairs, I saw a beautiful stained glass window of a fairy kind of character. There were four doors in the hallway that were all closed. He walked to the second one on the left of the hallway and opened the dark wood door. It creaked slightly as though it hadn’t been opened for a very long time.
    “This is it. The other door goes to the bathroom. You can borrow some of Anna’s clothes for tomorrow. I think you’re about
