Season 1 - Episode 1
Sirena POV
Leaves crunch underneath my boots as I walk further into the dark woods with a few of my soulmates. The wind howls around us and I pull my sweater closer. My familiars, Maeve and Morgana, two cats that are a mix of black and white, trail ahead of us, teasing Makaria, Mallory's familiar. While Kali, a black African bat, sits on my shoulder cuddled into my hair. Mallory Blackwood, daughter of Father Blackwood the High Priest of Witches, walks ahead of us, clutching Khione's hand. She has long brown hair that hits the middle of her back and forest green eyes. And I swear, if you look at them too long you'd get lost.
Maeve & Morgana
Kali
Mallory is barely taller than I am, standing at 5' 10". She has fair skin and light freckles along her cheeks. Currently she's chasing her familiar, Makaria, a large black wolf with blood red eyes. Makaria barks at Maeve and Morgana as they weave through the trees. And I swear I can hear their giggles. Khione Shadowblood holds her hand, with her familiars flying above her and wrapped around her arm. Khione is an orphan and the last of her family line, which are very powerful blood manipulators. She has two ravens, Despoina and Bellona, one is a bright white and the other is as black as night. While her other familiar is a pitch black snake named Umbra. Khione has long black hair that's neatly tied up and icey blue eyes that could cut through you. She's the same height as me, with pale skin and a fairly bad attitude. To others at least.

Umbra
Ambrose Merlin holds my left hand while his familiar, Moros, is wrapped around his shoulders. Ambrose has light mocha skin and dark brown hair. He towers over me at 6' 4" but is the sweetest teddy bear in the world. His eyes are pitch black and he has a smile that shines even in the dark. His familiar, Moros, is a blue pit viper that glows in the dark. He's a long forgotten species to the human world but very much alive in the supernatural world.
Moros
My right hand is held by Adeline Kinkle, a half human and witch; much like my twin and I. She is shorter than me by a lot, being only 5' 2". She has curly brown hair and steel blue eyes. She's quiet and extremely shy but tends to show her true self around us. Shes just a little ray of sunshine honestly. Her familiars, Shiloh and Nesta are both in her arms. Shiloh is a snow white weasel that has a large bushy tail. Nesta is an iridescent viper that looks like stars in the night sky. Shiloh is often found with Maeve and Morgana, sleeping; but for now he's snuggled in her arms, passed out.

We are taking a walk through the woods, continently while Sabrina has her human friends over. And it's not like I hate humans, I just hate the ones Sabrina picks. Well minus the Kinkle's. I shake my head, clearing my thoughts as we make our last lap around and finally reach the clearing to my house. The large house almost blends into the night with its high steeples and expansive front porch that wraps around the whole home. The Spellman Family Mortuary sign shines brightly, flapping in the wind and I hear the squeal of Sabrina. I smile as Harvey lifts her up and spins her around, they're too cute sometimes. Addie tugs my hand, getting my attention and stoping the group. "Sorry to break up our little date but I have to get home" she speaks softly.
I nod, then place a kiss on her cheek and zip her jacket up. "Would you like for us to walk you home? Or will you be going with Harv?" I ask. She smiles at her twin who kisses Sabrina goodbye before walking off with a love-struck face. "Hold up Harvey, I'm joining you!" She yells over to the love drunk fool, who smiles brightly at us and waves. Addie quickly gives each of a kiss and then takes off towards her brother. I chuckle and wave back "take care of our girl Kinkle!"
He smiles as she jumps on his back, walking towards their house. He turns around slightly with a grin and yells "always will Rena! And you take care of my girl!" I chuckle as Sabrina turns bright red and quickly shuffles into the house. I cup my hands around my mouth and yell back "always will Harv!" My voice echos and mixes with their laughter, a bittersweet sound.
We watch their forms disappear before Mallory, Khione, Ambrose, and I walk up the front steps into our house. Ambrose has lived here since he was 6 and Khione since she was 15. Until we realized she was a witch too and then the two of us started school together at The Academy of Unseen Arts as underclassmen; but only because Father Blackwood all but commanded us to begin schooling early. I was so ready though. I've always dreamed of going to the Academy and being just like dad. Sirena Spellman, the high priestess now that has a nice ring to it.
Ambrose has been attending AUA (the academy of unseen arts) for a year already with our other soulmates, Nicholas Scratch and Prudence Bennett. Mallory is also in their class, they're all first semester third years and all around the age of 20. The years go by slower at AUA, or for witches in general, so it takes two years to move up a grade, versus one in the human world. Mallory stays at our home more often than not as her father doesn't really care about her. Though I think that's more because of his wife but what do I know. I open the door to music blasting and Sabrina dancing along the stairs. I hold back a giggle as she disappears upstairs and the music fades.
I shake my head and slowly walk up to my room with the others following, the old wooden steps creaking as we ascend them. My hand tightly grips the handrail, in an effort to not fall.. again. We pass Ambrose, Khione, and Sabrina's doors, going to the less used secondary stairs which leads to my room, the attic. Ambrose, Sabrina, and Khione have rooms on the second floor while our aunties, Hilda and Zelda Spellman, have their room on the first floor. The house has been passed through generations of Spellman's and it's never lost its original touch.
I open the door to my room and engage the familiar smell of lavender, coconuts, and soil from all of my plants. The ceiling slants on both sides of my room, making it a bit smaller but still bigger than any other room in the house. I have the walls and ceilings painted black with twinkling stars all over the ceiling. They glow in the dark and are probably my favorite part about my room, minus the window seat.
Lights hang from above us as well as plants that have grown and wound up the large wooden columns. I have two couches, both dark green, that sit on each wall, which are lined with windows that have intricate metal work along them, allowing the large moon to cast a shadow along the room. I have two swinging chairs beside the couches, one that's like a sack and one that's like a swing.
There is a small set of stairs above my bed that leads to a reading nook. It has books bursting from the shelves and littered along the floor. A desk sits neatly in between shelves with a large window in front of it, giving a view of the expansive forest around us. On the other side of my room are more bookshelves and two other beds, usually for if Khione, Ambrose, Mallory, or Adeline want to sleep up here.
Two doors sit on each side of the room, one leading to the bathroom and closet. While the other leads to my magic room. My bathroom is all black with a large claw foot tub and shower. Candles occupy every single space, along with some type of plant. The other door leads to my spell/potion room. It's a black as well with dried herbs, potions, books, various spelled items, and magic weapons.
Her room:
Just imagine green couches
Her bed:
Other side of the room:
Just imagine it black

I practically face plant into the bed and sigh as Ambrose, Khione, and Mallory sit down beside me. "Is something bothering you love?" Ambrose asks while gently rubbing my back. Khione snorts and gives him a 'what the fuck' look. "Ambrose baby I love you but it's obvious Rena isn't okay. Is this about Sabrina again?" She asks in a gentle voice, reserved for only her soulmates. I grunt and roll over, staring at the moon that shines against the twinkling lights. "Yeah. I had a vision of our birthday ceremony and it didn't end well. She messed up the whole ritual and left before signing! I didn't even get a chance to sign and it's going to be a blood moon!" I growl out and then shove a pillow on my face in frustration.
Mallory peels the pillow back with a smile "well that's an easy fix then sweetheart. You just go first. Not only that but age matters and you know how Father is with rules. He will definitely ask for you to sign before Sabrina but if you're worried we can always speak to him tomorrow?" I nod in agreement and pick at my nails as I mumble "I can speak to Father Blackwood in the morning and let him know what I've seen."
Mallory tenses at that and shakes her head no "I don't think you should tell him about your seer abilities. He still can't be trusted." Her tone is clipped and hard, so I grab her hand and gently squeeze it in reassurance. She sends me a small smile before Khione interrupts "I say we curse her so if she is late or tries to run from her dark baptism, she's stuck. That way she can't run away from her problems like she normally does."
We all let out chuckles and a part of me agrees with her. Though the other part, the twin part, makes me feel guilty. Khione looks down at her nails with a smirk and I hold back a laugh. "If it was that easy, we'd be long rid of her Kie (pronounced k-eye like tie)" I reply with a sigh. "What else is bothering you?" Ambrose asks, throwing an arm around the three of us and pulling us closer to him.
I pick at my nails more, trying to focus on anything other than the thoughts in my mind. "What if I'm not good enough? What if mom and dad are actually disappointed in me? I have this big legacy to live up to and I'm not like Sabrina, things just don't come easy to me. What if I fail?" I push out, tears threatening to spill over my cheeks. Both Mallory and Khione wrap their arms around me as Ambrose hugs me from behind.
Ambrose plays with my hair and whispers "shhh paulum diabolus." (Little devil) Mallory nods in agreement but Khione just grunts. "Your worries are all valid but unwarranted dēliciae (darling). You are the brightest witch of our generation and definitely the most powerful. And I know your parents are very happy with you. I hear their whispers sometimes." My eyes start to brim with tears again and my heart feels heavy with the familiar weight of grief.
Khione continues with a frown "nothing big but little words like 'happy' and 'proud'. I was going to tell you sooner but I wanted a full sentence first and I've been trying so hard-" I cut her off with a kiss. Her soft lips curve into a smile as I pull back. "Thank you. I know talking to the dead is not only extremely difficult but it's a painful affinity to have." And I mean it. I wish I could speak to my parents but I couldn't imagine dealing with every ghost that walks around.
A knock sounds on the door and aunt Zelda peeks her head through the door. "Hello my little devils. It's time to head to bed for school in the morning. And Rena? I have a special request for you all tomorrow. I need you to follow your sister to school and try to make sure she's actually parting from her human friends. I get a hunch that things aren't gong to run very smoothly.." she trails off, eyes narrowing on me. I gulp and look anywhere but her. "Well about that.." I mutter. Zelda sighs and throws herself onto the couch beside my bed before lighting a cigarette. "Well let's start from the beginning then yes? Maybe we can find a solution to this problem and dear, do explain why you're crying after that. If I have to kill someone I need ample time to plan" she sighs. I nod, cracking a small smile and look into her light green eyes.
"Sabrina is going to refuse to sign The Book Of The Beast"
