The Cemetery is the most unusual place about Baskerville. It's located at the edge of the water near the beach. It can be seen from the Coven of Roses's hideout and it often riddled with tourist, fascinated by its strange location.

ADDRESSED: MADELINE, BONNIE MENTIONED: DEVONA TAGS: Piper Ellie
Jack didn't know what to do. When he got the call from an old relative, Jack didn't know what to expect. He knew this was his chance to give his girls the life he knew they deserved: stability.
It was something he never offered. With Devona's death came a new life, a second chance, and a whole lot of new responsibilities as the father of the High Priestess.
As the car came to a rolling stop, Jack took a glance in the back mirror. Madeline was sitting in the back. The ride has been rather quiet. His daughters were millennials, always on their phones or in their heads.
The engine stopped. Jack cleared his throat and removed the keys from the ignition. "You ready for this?" He looked at both his girls.
His smile was forceful, but still playful. "Not too late to turn around, head for the border. Let this be someone else's problem." His eyes brightened. He was a jokester at heart, but what he said was rooted in truth. He would run if he could. He would run if his girls asked him to run.

There I am, standing at the entrance to the rest of my life. The car ride felt like an eternity. We didn't talk. We didn't listen to music. It was just... silence. What were they thinking? Was the silence supposed to make me feel better? Because it didn't... it made me feel worse.
By the time we got to the cemetery, my heart was racing. I could feel my stomach in my throat, like I was going to throw up all over the backseat of the car. My sister would be soooo mad. My dad might laugh. I hope he wouldn't, but he might. Oh no, now I'm overthinking again.
We're here. Dad turns off the engine and looks back at me like he's expecting me to be the first out on the turf. That wasn't about to happen-- he's mad!
I tried to smile back at him, the way he smiled at me. He must've been able to tell I was nervous because he turned at that Jack charm and cracked a joke. Leave it to Jack Bellamo to crack a joke at a funeral.
I had a thousand questions my head. Who was going to be there? Would people recognise me? Was there a magical ritual involved that I'm not prepared for? All these questions in my head and I barely muttered out: "D-Dad, do I have to say anything?"

I'ma lil' messed up But I can hide it when I'm all dressed up
No one wanted to be there least of all Bonnie. She had been traveling her entire life. Now all because some ancient aunt was dead, she was stuck in this lame, dead end town with nothing to entertain her wildness.
To avoid confrontation with either members of her family, Bonnie likes to keep her headphones in. She relaxed the entire car ride to the cemetery, listening to this or that. The music didn't really matter to her. What mattered was the quiet.
Her brown eyes focused on the movement of the water as the roar of the engine came to a resting stop. She wasn't expecting the stones of the dead to be so close to the sea.
Before she had a chance to take her earbuds out, Bonnie could hear the thunderous voice of her father over the dull music. She popped the earphones out and looked back at her father. His smile was bright enough to light up any dark room. Too bad, it was wasted on them.
Let this be someone else's problem. If only that were true. Bonnie reached for the door, but before she made her swift exit, she spun around to her stuttering sister. "Whatever you say, try not to say it like that." Her brow perked. "You sound weak and nervous. It's pathetic."
With a little shrug and an apathetic smile, Bonnie bounced out of the car, slamming the door behind her. She could smell the salt in the air. The sea was so close. She'd rather be in the water than dressed in black, waiting for some random strangers to say goodbye to a dead woman she never even met.
Let's get this over with...

The ocean was supposed to be calming. That was probably why they built this cemetery so close to the beach. It was meant to bring solace and peaceful feelings Thomas was sure. Too bad it didn't seem to be working.
He felt incredibly nervous but hoped that he hid it well. He had witnessed many deaths of former High Priestesses, although none of them really knew who he was. He had met Devona once years ago, he doubted anyone would recognize him here. But he had to reestablish his connection with the coven.
He turned to his daughter Charity. She was the reason he was doing this he reminded himself. He smiled awkwardly yet reassuringly at her.
"How do I look? Tie too much?" His tone was teasing.
He smoothed his hand down his striped tie. It was a little more than he would have normally chosen. He was trying to lighten the mood for his daughter. Kids hated these things usually.
"Looks like we got here just in time. Not too crowded right?"
They had moved to Baskerville just recently and they were still getting used to the town. He was keenly aware how she was uprooted and now he was taking her to new and strange places to meet strangers.
He smiled at her but was unsure what she was thinking or feeling. Part of that was she was a teenager but the other part was he felt he couldn't relate to her werewolf nature and he feared he never would.

It was hard to be here. The last time Charity attended a funeral it was for her mother. She didn't even visit the gravesite before she left.
When the pulled up, Charity felt immediately overwhelmed with feelings of sorrow, confusion, and a little motion sickness. The ocean felt a trance, she couldn't help but stare at it. Her father's voice is what broke the spell.
"You look fine." She smiled back at him, but it was quickly fell as her eyes glided over the window and back towards the sea. "I don't like cemeteries..." She mumbled.
In the lot there was another car. Charity broke from the movement of the ocean and followed the sound of a car down slamming. A short, long-haired brunette exited the car and started towards the sea. "Do you know them?" Charity asked her father, glancing back at him.
She knew he had been here before, but it was years ago. He might've been as nervous as she was. It was hard to tell sometimes. He was always putting on a show for her... like he was afraid to make a mistake. Always having to be perfect. It wasn't a bad quality to have, but Charity wished he would be more honest with her about himself. There was a lot about him she still didn't know.

His daughters were opposites. The two of them were like fire and ice, chocolate milk and fireball whiskey. Difficult to manage, not always worth the fight, but always worth the love.
"Hey! Watch the attitude, kid!" He shouted after Bonnie, but it was too late. She was out the door before. "That girl's gonna be the fucking death of me..." Immediately, he felt ashamed of his choice of words. There he was sitting in the cemetery. Death seemed liked a welcome reprieve with these girls some days.
With a heavy exhale, Jack returned his attention to his youngest with a little shrug. "You don't have to say anything if you don't want to. Don't worry it, and ignore your brat sister. She just doesn't know what's she talking about. You'll do fine." Jack smiled as he reached back and patted his daughter's knee. "Let's do this, yeah?"

Lana Hall, was dressed in black without any usual jewelry on her person now, and sitting a bit upset, in her black heavily armored Range Rover Sentinel car, this time with only 2 protection agents, and no other cars or her usual extremely elegant car. She hated being at funerals. It ment eternal peace for somebody, but also terrible pain for loved ones and friends, and even pain for loose friends. Lana has been at so many funerals, have seen so so so many of her friends die, it was unbearable every time. In this sence Lana was broken beyond any chance of repair, it was a testament to her mental fortitude that she was still infact sane despite all the pain she had to endure over the eons.
Her business empire, and music helped a lot to also keep her sanity intact. The car stopped just outside of the cemetary, and at first her 2 body guarfds got out and after only a fast visual scan, did they open the door. THe threat level was very low, even on the 'low' scale, so her protection agents where really calm and less expesting any threat. The only threat was probably going to be... sand getting into her shoes. She looked at the sea... so vast, and currently so peaceful, it made her soul ease up a bit. "I hope she at least passed away happily with family sourrounding her, or in her sleep." Lana muttered to one of her protection agents.
When the time would come, she really really hoped that her closest friends would die either in sleep, with loving family and friends around, or spending the last second of your life in a great mood and laughing... to think of it... she enfact wished for nothing else for her closest friends then when it would be time to finally leave the mortal word behind in such good ways.
She finally tore her sight away from the endless sea, looking around, she walked towards where the funeral will actually take place, and while walking, she read a number of nales that where on the graves. It hurt to read these names... she has known them in there lifes, that was the curse of existing for 50,000 years already.

NOBODY NORMAL EVER ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING MEANINGFUL IN THIS WORLD BEING A FREAK IS THE BEST! I'M A FREAK... 
I shouldn't be shocked by Bonnie's bitchiness at this point, but still. She managed to stun me enough that I hadn't the time to think of a quick-witted comeback. She practically jumped out of the car and towards the gravesite.
"Don't worry dad," I cracked a grin at him. "Bonnie I can handle. It's the rest of the world that I'm worried about." With that, my dad and I looked at each other and as if we could read each other's minds sprung up out of the car and readied ourselves for what came next.
That's when I noticed her. A black car pulled up in the drive. Two well-dressed security guards exited the car first and then walked around to the back where they opened the door for a woman I'd never seen before. Not unusual... I'm not from here. I haven't seen most of these people, but she stood out.
What was she doing at a funeral with entourage? Bizarre. "Dad, you know who that is?" I asked him. My face was twisted and full of concern. This woman looked important, which only put me more on edge.

"I don't like cemeteries..."
Thomas heard the mumbled words of his daughter and glanced at her face. He searched for some words to comfort her.
"Uh well...did you know in ancient times people wanted to be buried with their feet pointing east? In the direction of the rising sun because they believed it helped guide them to the afterlife, that's why most gravestones face east.....and I just realized telling you this probably isn't helping things."
Thomas sighed and exited the car. It wasn't the first time Charity has heard him ramble on about history. She was probably used to it by now and it wasn't all that unusual. He could easily play off his knowledge because he chose to be a history teacher. So no one would bat an eyelid. No one would guess that he had first hand experience with the superstitions of that time.
He looked toward a group of people that were starting to gather and he heard Charity ask if he knew them. The family she was referring to consisted of a man and his daughters. Or at least that's what he assumed.
"I...do...not. I don't think I know anyone here." he admitted. His attention was drawn to a shiny black vehicle that pulled up with a security detail. Somebody important. It only made him more nervous.
"Well, I guess we should head over there and stand around awkwardly." he chuckled, a weak attempt at humor again.
"Well those girls look about your age? They must feel the same way."
He had no idea who the new High Priestess was that would be taking over for Devona. He hoped he could start off on the right foot with her. |

Charlie novak
They just arrived at the cemetery and Charlie saw there were already people starting to gather at a certain spot. He walked swiftly calling over his shoulder to his sister.
"Hurry up Reese! I don't want to be late!"
His younger sister Reese was the only one who wanted to come with him, as she didn't want to wait at home for the others. He could hear her trailing behind him and he glanced back to see her looking nonchalant. He stopped and raised an eyebrow at her.
"Can you pretend for two seconds that you're not bored out of your mind?"
His words sounded harsh and sarcastic but were actually teasing as the two of them often bantered like this. He looked back to the crowd forming and searched for familiar faces. He saw a lot that weren't.
A sweet black Range Rover was parked nearby.
"I don't see Elijah..."
He looked for other members of the pack and thought he spotted Grayson hanging back from the group and standing by himself. That was pretty typical for the old doctor.
It looked like the others weren't there yet. There were a lot of new people to meet though.
He looked back at Reese again and smiled wryly.
"Try not to roll your eyes at everyone."

I'ma lil' messed up But I can hide it when I'm all dressed up
There at the end of the road was a large black Range Rover. It skid into the lot with a whistle in the wheels. The fuck was this... Behind her appeared Bonnie's father and sister. Madeline's breath hit her neck and she rolled her eyes. This kid was more nervous than a Beverly Hill's chihuahua.
Bonnie stuck her AirPods back in her ears and pulled her hair over shoulders to hide them from her father. Ignorance was bliss and awkward chitchat was Bonnie personal hell.
She thumbed over her music and found a song that she hadn't listened to in over a year: Lana Hall's "Dancing With Death".
A silent transition. Bonnie heard her sister's voice ring through: "Dad, you know who that is?" Whatever possessed Bonnie to look up was inconceivable. She didn't usually pay attention to her sister's questions, but this time she did and that's when she noticed it.
"You gotta be fucking kidding me." She muttered and pulled her earbuds out almost violently. "That's Lana Hall, you retard." Disgust. Her sister's lack of culture disgusted her. "The fuck is she doing at this shit show?" Her face twisted.

Alpha of larentia's Order His son made him late. He wanted to be the first at the site, but parenthood had other plans. Elliott was a sweet kid, but stubborn like his mother at times. What a bugger!
"All right, kid. Here's the deal." He brought the car to a stop. He stretched his arms across the back of the seat next to him and met his son's gaze.
Elliott was small for his age. He was banned to the backseat until the little light came on up front. "We're gonna pay our respects, and then get the hell outta here! Got it?"
Elijah knew Devona. She was a strong leader and a loyal ally. Times were changing and Elijah wouldn't admit it, but he was scared for what was to come with her passing.
He made contact with Charlie first. He pulled his son towards the pair of Novak kids walking towards reception area. "Walk with Reese. I gotta talk to Charlie." Elijah nudged Elliott towards the redhead, who was looked miserable to be there. Good, he thought, Elliott was in good company.
"We're late. Elliott had a wardrobe malfunction." He was quiet, but at Charlie's heel he knew the boy could hear him. "We gotta make contact with the High Priestess. Devona didn't leave us much after her death, and the witches are our only safety here, Novak. You got any entail on who it might be?"
None of the wolves had seen the new witch, yet. They knew nothing about her.... only that she wasn't from Baskerville, which spelled disaster for everyone there. |

ℝ𝔼𝔼𝕊𝔼 ℕ𝕆𝕍𝔸𝕂 "𝐈'𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲... 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐈 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝?"
She didn't want to go. Mother said it be rude if she didn't. Strange, because Reese didn't see mother here at all. It was just her and Charlie. Damn, what she wouldn't give to be Hope right now. Away at college. Lucky her.
Cemeteries were depressing as hell. One day, Reese would be in the ground right next to them. 500 hundred years will pass and she'll be dust in a rotting box. What a thought!
Hurry up, Reese! I don't want to be late!
Late? They were already there! How could she make them anymore late? "But Charlie..." She groaned. "I am bored, and I stopped playing pretend when I was 10." She shot him a smirk and shrugged her shoulders with an attitude that would send the ocean waves crashing in the opposite direction.
I don't see Elijah... He was ignoring her. With an eye roll, Reese sighed and turned her head just in time to see Elijah galloping up the road. "I do." I see him. Instantly, Elijah was there. Like they summoned him.
The alpha ignored Reese. He shoved his boy in her direction and then went galavanting towards Charlie. Big boy talk! and Reese was stuck babysitting. "How come I always up babysitting your ass?" She nudged him with her body. She was only kidding... Sort of.
There was a lot happening. A whole lot! They were everywhere! Wolves and witches. Reese couldn't tell one from the other. But she had to know... where was the new one? The one that everyone was so eager to meet... Reese had a name alone. Madeline. There were new faces to her right. She was there. Somewhere. In that crowd.
Reese picked up her pace and trotted up to the front of the line where her brother and the alpha were talking. "You're looking for the witch, aren't ya... Dawson?" She couldn't help but smirk. Her mischievous side was teeming for some gossip.

Susan Grant, was not officially recognized as an active and working member of a royal family, but despite that, she was still a princes od a supernatural, a witch royal family/dynasty.
She did have a lot of official travelling, and even more travelling for touring and for leisure. But now as he was weeks away from the next leg of her ongoing tour, she still had a lot of time to really relax in general. But with the redent death of a very important member of the Supernatural world, things would get pretty... interesting, especially in Bakerville. The controll of the town would now be most probably fough over by the different Wolf clans, Witch families and demon family lines.
As it stands, she had no real desire to rule over Bakerville, she had enught to do back in the UK, But was not sure if Lana would also join the fight. Knowing Lana, such 'silly' fights where pointless in her eyes.
Susan was officially invited to the funeral however and as she was being driven to the old cemetary, she smiled bitterly, her own parents where actually burried here. This was a fact that still left her feeling empty and hollow.
She finally arrived in front of the cemetary, in a small convoy of 2 cars, a long and very elegant, and very heavily armored, Bentley Mulsanne Grand Limousine, that was black in color, and another car, another heavily armored Range Rover Sentinel. First her bodyguards got out of the cars, before they opened her door as well. Taking a few long seconds to scan the area, somewhat longer then the security of Lana did, Susan finally got out of her limo.
Dressed for the grim occation, she was dressed in black, with only a descrete necklace, earrings that where seen on her. One of the drawbacks of her body was her really long tail, 3,35 meters or 11 feet long, 2 times as much as her own height, and often, she was very aware about it, and it was simply too long for her, it got in the way often, and was a really ugly part of her, but she had no way of getting rid of it, or hiding it at all.
She finally got out of the car, and as she often had the keep her tail to herself during car rides, she almost always needed to strech her tail after fgetting out. It might have looked freaky and creepy, but she just could not help it.
She walked towards the place of the funeral, with only 2 personal bodyguards, while 4 others stayed around her cars, she softly waved a litle at some of the people what where already there as she walked to the location. She hated being at funerals, it was always unbearable pain, a real tear into your soul, to loose a family member, a close friend or a friend or somebody who inspireed and was loved by hundreds of millions of people, like certain humans. Equally, it is a real punch in the gut to loose somebody who makes an very strong impact on a person, even if there was not much of a connection between the 2 people. A death is always very bad, always.
Due to the open air occation, sound travels far, in an uncrowded setting, and she could hear some bits of conversation, causing her a slight wave of amusement, enught for her to smirk in a shadow of a smile at some of the kids that where there. She caught bits of talk about Lana... a bit of wardrobe issue... needing to babysit somebody... talk about it the witch was here or not, she assumed that said witch was infact her.

Jack did not know who that was, but Bonnie certainly did. He wasn't surprised. Bonnie was an insider. She knew more than most, but remained to herself. A snippy, but private observer, Bonnie was able to make sense of what he couldn't. She was like her mother in that regard; though, he'd never tell her that.
"Yeah, well whoever she is doesn't matter. If she draws attention to this town, the witches will have her dragged to hell." Jack remarked with some bitter irritation. The last thing he needed was someone bringing attention to his fifteen-year-old regent. If this woman put the town in danger, she puts Madeline in danger.
"Reign it in, girls." Jack put his hand on each of their shoulders and started to guide them towards the proceedings. "We'll handle this after. We've got a funeral to start."
Jack seated his girls at the front of the cue and took a stand in front of the casket. It was closed. Devona's body was unrecognizable. The cause of death had remained private, but the marks on her face and chest were contingent with an animal attack: a wolf attack. Only the family knew of these circumstances.
Jack cleared his throat, looked out into the crowd. The faces were new. It had been over a fifteen years since he set foot in Baskerville. "If everyone could find a seat. I'd like to say a few words about my Aunt... Ms. Devona BelRose, the late Mayor of Baskerville."

Elliott liked Reese even if she was a little mean. He'd known her his whole life, but she still made him nervous. Smiling shyly, he rocked from side to side next to her, with his eyes glued to the grass under his feet. "Guess you're just unlucky."
She nudged him again and then bounced up to where Elliott's dad and her brother were talking. There she went again, trotting away from him. Some babysitter she was. It was laughable.
Reese wanted to know about the witch. Duh! Everybody wanted to know about the witch. Like... which one was she?
Elliott caught up finally just as an older man took the stand. He called everyone to a seat, so he sat, in between Reese and his father.

cнαяiтy I DIDN'T CHANGE. I JUST FOUND MYSELF. Her dad tried. That's what was important. She smiled at him, but shook her head. "No. It's not helping, but I appreciate the effort." She let out a little chuckle.
She followed Thomas down the way. He played around a little, trying to make this as easy as possible for her. "Awkward is the only way you know how." She teased. He really was a gentle soul, but the most awkward guy Charity had ever met.
He gestured a group of kids out of the way. Charity noticed more people her age than she thought there would be. "Guess I'm not the only one missing school for this, huh?" She teased right back.
She was more like Thomas than she realized. He was playful and shy, much like she was. Charity really was nothing like her mother. She always wondered where she got that awkward side.
"Look like it's starting." Charity motioned to the front of the aisle. There was a man standing in front of the closed casket. Charity and Thomas chose seats at the very back of the pack. This was the first time Charity could smell wolves since her mother died. She was so close to finding a home.

NOBODY NORMAL EVER ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING MEANINGFUL IN THIS WORLD BEING A FREAK IS THE BEST! I'M A FREAK...
Lana Hall? Like she was supposed to know who that was! Madeline was exasperated, exhausted from an entire morning of fighting with her sister.
"I'm not a retard. You're a bitch." It wasn't much of an insult. Bonnie's phone called her "that bitch" whenever it connected to the speakers. It was just fact at this point.
Jack interjected. He corrected neither of them on their behavior; but instead dragged them to the front of the proceedings and had them sit front and center where the entire procession could see them.
Madeline felt sick. This was it... this was all hers after today and the thought made her want to throw up all over this casket.
The seats were uncomfortable. Madeline leaned into her sister. "Can you like not be a cunt for five minutes?" She whispered. Her dad was still talking. "If dad calls me up there, can you use that siren thingy to knock out everyone here?" Bitch or not. Cunt or nut. Bonnie was still her sister and one of the most powerful witches Madeline knew.

I'ma lil' messed up But I can hide it when I'm all dressed up
Bonnie liked to know the people around her. Not personally, no, Bonnie didn't really care for people... at all; but she did like to know who she was dealing with in the event that she ever had to deal with them.
Lana Hall was a bit of a local celebrity. She sang at the nightclub, she had a couple thousand followers on Instagram, and she had one of the largest houses in town. She was a multimillion-dollar business owner and short time resident here in Baskerville. Her celebrity status was accredited to her glorious voice and business savvy ways. If the Bellamo's weren't so ignorant-- besides her, of course-- they'd know these things with a simple google search.
"Me being a bitch doesn't make you any less retarded." She corrected Madeline with a sassy smile.
Sitting at the front of the processions didn't bother Bonnie like it bothered her sister. If she didn't want to be in the spotlight she shouldn't have accepted the title of High Priestess. "Stop twitching. You're making me anxious."
Can you like not be a cunt for five minutes? That was a fair question. "Probably not. What do you want?" She didn't break eye contact from her father. It was easier if she at least pretended that she was paying attention.
If dad calls me up there, can you use that siren thingy to knock out everyone here?
Bonnie sighed and leaned into her sister. "You need to stop being so timid. You're in charge of an entire coven, now. Start acting like it." There was a moment where Bonnie thought she was done, but she could feel her sister's torment twitching in the seat next to her, and sighed again. "Look. You tell anyone I was nice I'll shave your eyebrows off. But. Dad and I always have your back. Now don't be a pussy."

As soon as Elijah arrived things starting to be put into motion. One second he heard Reese squabbling with Elliot behind him, the next Elijah was asking him if he knew who the new High Priestess was. He hated disappointing him.
"I have no idea."
Then suddenly a man was addressing everyone and asking them to take their seats. The noise started to die down and the man mentioned his late aunt, Devona Belrose. So this was the family. The man had two girls with him, maybe his age and younger. Must be one of them. I guess we'll find out now.
Besides the family in question, Charlie happened a glance around at the others that had gathered. There were several faces he didn't know and he wondered where they came from. Besides the members of his pack, Charlie knew most people in Baskerville. It wasn't that much of an accomplishment, the town wasn't that big. Still since he lived here his whole life, he was on a first name basis with the guy at the corner store to Christ's sake.
Never had Baskerville gathered so much outside attention with an event. Especially when there was so much more to it than the world realized. It made him feel a bit anxious and he glanced sideways at Elijah. He wondered if the alpha felt as uneasy as he did. |

The crowd settled. "Thank you all for being here. Devona was..." Jack proceeded to deliver an eloquent and heartfelt, if not slightly embellished, telling of his aunt's greatest hits. He mentioned his childhood, her role in the town (subtracting her influence on the supernatural in the presence of normals and tv camera crews).
Devona was an accomplished woman inside the supernatural world and in the human world. She was mayor of Baskerville, a women's rights activist, a humanitarian, a generous donor to several charities and town projects. Her death was a great loss, and Jack wished he stayed in better contact with her through the years.
Finally, the time came to tell the world what was to happen next. "Now, I know some of your are wondering what's next for Baskerville? With elections coming up, the interim mayor stepping aside, and a large estate to settle." The estate, however, in question, was supernatural code. "Devona left her affairs to us, her family... and my daughter," he motioned to his girls with a subtle nod, "Madeline, is set to inherit her estate."
He looked out into the crowd. "And I promise Baskerville, that we will do right by her and protect all that's she's created here." He was unsure who was addressing, now. He didn't know the wolves or the witches of this town, anymore.
He stepped away from the podium. The event was over. Madeline was named. And so it begins...

ℝ𝔼𝔼𝕊𝔼 ℕ𝕆𝕍𝔸𝕂 "𝐈'𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲... 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐈 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝?"
Fascinating. All this hype for some skinny little teenager. It wasn't her size that worried Reese. It was her age. This witch couldn't be far off from her age, and Reese was nowhere near ready to a leader-- of any kind!
She could feel it. Like a change in the wind. The whole cemetery was quiet. For the wrong reason. "This... this isn't good." She mumbled knowing the only one that could hear here was Elliott.
The affair was over, but the drama was just starting! As everyone started out of their seats, Reese leapt ahead, fighting her way to Elijah and Charlie. Steps away from her, but it felt like miles.
"Charlie--" She stopped herself, because she didn't know what she was supposed to say. She should've waited for the alpha. She should've waited for someone else to make a move, but in the moment--
"That's not her, right?" What a stupid question to ask. "I mean, like she's my age." Also, a very dumb thing to say! Reese was always bragging about how smart she was and how she could handle herself without anyone's help. This was true, though, she was capable of all these things-- but this girl? Reese didn't know her. She could be a complete moron, and they were supposed to trust her to protect Devona's legacy and keep Baskerville safe? Laughable!
Plus not to be "one of those girls", but Reese was pretty good at picking up a persons character and the new High Priestess seemed like a pushover and her sister seemed like a real bitch.
Baskerville is doomed!

Madeline was an affectionate person. Bonnie didn't like to be touched. It made these sort of interactions difficult. Luckily, the two of them rarely had a moment.
For a second- only a second- Madeline touched her head to Bonnie's shoulder. "You're a real softie, you know that?" She jabbed, a little smile forming at the corner's of her mouth.
Time seemed to slow down after that. Jack was like a preacher in the pulpit. His voice was low and soothing, but confident and persuasive. Madeline almost believed him. She almost believed him when he said Baskerville was safe.
When it was over, Madeline stood up with the rest of the crowd. The world had been pointed in her direction. If Baskerville didn't know before, they certainly knew, now. What must they be thinking? She wondered. Were they as frightened as she was?
Madeline stood a stand next to her father, leaned in real close and whispered: "Can we go, now?" She could feel the whole town watching her and she did not like it.

Alpha of larentia's Order He wasn't a patient man. A fornite had passed with no word from the witches about the regime change. Sitting at the funeral of the late High Priestess was not where he wanted this journey to begin.
Elijah waited for the speaker's last words before making his approach. The service was outdoors. It was sunny. It was easier to talk this way.
"We better make some introductions." He whispered to his beta. He was sitting at the front of the makeshift pews. It made his movement to the front of the line swift and easy.
Elijah knew the Novak's for a long time. He was friends with Charlie's father. Reese was a spitfire. She was difficult at times, but usually quite clever and intuitive. She didn't show fear, so when she expressed worry, Elijah worried, too. This time, he didn't need her worry to trigger his. The age of the High Priestess was unexpected and certainly a concern for the entire town.
"Jack." Elijah called attention to himself. Stretching out his hand, he wen to shake the warlock's hand. "I'm Elijah. Dawson. This here is--"
"Charlie Novak." Jack took the gentlemen's hands with a strange eagerness. "I know your father. You look just like him." His smile was almost threatening. He looked and spoke like a politician. Elijah didn't trust politicians.
"If you know who we are then I assume you know why we need to talk." Elijah interrupted.
The warlock looked nervous. He smiled. "Why don't I introduce you to my daughter. Madeline!" He stretched out his hand as if to summon the witch over to them.

Touch was an absolute NO! Madeline and her were opposites in this respect and many others. Her sister's head hit her shoulder, light and soft-- almost unnoticeable, but Bonnie noticed. She shrugged Madeline off with a disgusted sigh. "Whatever, just don't... touch."
The rest of the service was done in silence. Bonnie had an earbud hidden behind her hair. She hated death. She hated people. She would much rather hide than acknowledge what was happening around her.
Only when people started to move did Bonnie remove the music from her ears and feign some interest. Her father was bombarded immediately. There were questions, for sure, and the Bellamo's were at the top of everyone's meet-and-greet list. Fan-fucking-tastic...
Bonnie should consider herself lucky. She wasn't the star of this show. "That's your cue, kid." She shoved Madeline's shoulder when their father motioned for them. Meek little Maddie hid behind father's back and begged to leave. She was screwed.
A flip of her hair and Bonnie was at the forefront of the conversation. "Novak". She knew that name... She "accidentally" bumped Madeline from behind. Her mouth close to her sister's ear. She whispered, "Play nice with the dogs. Princesses don't get warnings. They get bit."
Wolves. Bonnie hates wolves. Her eyes locked onto the one her father called "Novak". The family was infamous in this town. He looked like a wolf. He smelled like one, too. Addressed: madeline Mentioned: jack, charlie, elijah tags: Piper Alec Aquila |

"This... this isn't good." Elliott wasn't sure what was happening anymore. Everyone was getting so tense. For what? For a teenage girl. It didn't make any sense!
"What isn't good?" He asked, but it was too late. Reese was gone. She seemed to have absolutely zero attention span. He followed her, lagging behind by a pretty big margin.
He only managed to make it to the group when he heard the one witch call them 'dogs'. That was rude. He almost growled at her, but he was afraid his dad would hear and he would be in even more trouble.
First it was the clothes, then it was the funeral, now it was this! Elliott felt it was time to call it a day. It was time to go home or go to school or something! Anything, but be here in this moment right now.

ℝ𝔼𝔼𝕊𝔼 ℕ𝕆𝕍𝔸𝕂 "𝐈'𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲... 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐈 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝?"
Oh god, all this human interaction was becoming a real headache. Between this and babysitting, Reese had had enough for the entire week! She was drenched with fake interest. It was getting harder and harder to stay dry.
"What isn't good?"
Reese huffed. "This, dude! All of it! Don't you see the shit show that's dancing it's happy feet all over us, right now?" Oh, what was the point? Elliott was 10! Talking to him was like talking to a circle. Pointless.
The two of them stood in the background. Reese was an average height, but her red hair helped her stand out. This could be either a really, really good thing or a really, really bad thing.
Introductions were in order. It was as if someone drew a line in the dirt. There were wolves on one side and witches on the other. The preacher made a move and there! standing before them was her. The High Priestess.
But Reese didn't care about her-- no! she was interested in the other one. She slithered behind the High Priestess like a snake in the bush, hissing into her ear. "Play nice with the dogs. Princesses don't get warnings. They get bit."
Dogs? Her face twisted, possessed with anger. "Excuse me?" Reese drilled her attention on the witch. "What did you call us?" She stepped forward. Her fists balled at her sides. "You wanna share with the whole group? Because, well... we might be dogs, but I only see one bitch."
Reese lowered her chin, never breaking contact with the witch, and started growl.

Things happened very quickly as they made introductions. Elijah introduced himself but then to Charlie's surprise the man named Jack said his name and grabbed Charlie's hand for a shake. He shouldn't have been surprised, his family was well known and he'd been told his whole life he looked like his father. He also inherited some of his personality traits.
He smiled and nodded and then turned as Jack introduced his daughters. That's when the shit hit the fan. One moment he was looking at Madeline and then he heard the older sister make some kind of rude comment. His own sister snapped back in anger at the witch.
"Reese!" he raised his voice and nudged her to stop her from doing something foolish. This was not what he wanted to do, stop a fight five minutes into introductions. He was calm but firm.
"Calm down. We're here here to make alliances, not drive a wedge between us."
He was referring to the witches and wolves. Charlie was a mediator at heart. He looked to Elijah for confirmation and then turned back to the Bellamos. The father surely must feel the same way?
The older sister looked like she had an attitude. That was fine. He was used to attitudes. He met her gaze but didn't say anything and then he turned back to the younger with a smile.
"Nice to meet you Madeline. Don't worry, I don't bite."
She was younger than he expected, but now he sort of felt sorry for her. It was a lot of pressure to have on you as a kid. She already looked uneasy.

The atmosphere was full of tension. It only seemed to be growing. He and Charity had started to approach a group, he was pretty sure it was the Bellamo family. The closer they got, the more his doubts grew.
He contemplated waiting but he glanced at Charity and felt his resolve strengthen. No he had to do this.
The people gathered were facing each other like an invisible fence separated them. He looked back and forth between the two groups of people. Little did he realize that he and Charity were the only family here that represented both sides.
They stood there unnoticed at first. He heard the name Novak and it rang a bell in his head. There was an outburst, awkward introductions, and cool glances eyeing each other.
Then his attention was drawn to the young girl named Madeline. She was the new High Priestess? He was shocked. He hadn't expected her to be so young....she looked Charity's age.
They stood to the side of the group and waiting until inquiring eyes fell on them. He placed one hand on Charity's shoulder for support and raised the other and gave a little wave.
"Uh...hello?" he cleared his throat and tried again.
"Ah, hi there."
