"I'll set up the ward" I say as soon as I walk in and see Aunt Patricia standing there. "There's no need for you to set a ward dear, my house is already warded" she says with a smug look. I look at her arching my eyebrows in an oh really kinda way and wait for her to elaborate. This was the main reason my parents cut off contact with her she would rather pretend to be human living and working with them, foregoing any of her magic rather than embrace who and what she is. So I waited not looking away until finally she threw her hands up in exasperation and started talking. "After you and your parents left here that night I tried to go back to my life, plain old boring but normal human Patricia. For a while that worked, but I kept going over and all we had talked about, and everything I'd learned up to that point." She crossed the room and sat down on her grey sectional, gesturing for me to sit she continued. " So I researched the prophecies to see if maybe we missed something or if there was a way to change them." Getting angrier and angrier i thought about what she said. she couldn't have come to that conclusion before causing a huge rift in our family? Finally cut her off "YOU DON'T THINK MOM AND DAD TRIED THAT! I yelled. Silently cursing my self for getting loud I sat quietly listening for sounds of Rylee waking up. After a few minutes of silence I turned back to my aunt. "Of course I thought they tried but I i also thought that maybe I could find something they missed. Unfortunately I didn't but I did come to realize even if I wanted to live a normal human life they're people who wouldn't agree with my life style or choices so I decided to ward the property. No one can actually see the house it's an illusion they actually see a house that needs a new paint job, a lawn that needs mowing, and a fence that looks like a stiff wind'll knock it over." she give me a self satisfied smile. I actually noticed the glamour when we pulled up, but decided not to mention it instead waiting to see if she'd bring it up. She did a fairly decent job of putting it up and weaker beings would be fooled hell even a lot of powerful ones might not see through it. But I did and that means the people searching for me might be able to as well so I wasn't taking any chances. " I'm sorry Aunt Patricia but your ward just isn't strong enough, so I'm going to add my own to the house before I do the ritual on Rylee" She studdered for a second tripping over her words no doubt surprised I insulted her ward. Laughing to my self I walk out the door and head to the north side of the property. Normally you'd use a whole coven to do a ritual like this as no one witch is strong enough alone, no witch except for one... me. That's why they are hunting me some want to use me as a weapon others want to experiment on me so they can make more. there's just one problem with that, I don't want to be studied, copied, or used. Shaking my head too clear these thoughts as I focus on where I'm at on the property. I walk to the farthest point north that's still on the property turning to face inside the ward I'm going to set I raise my hands and I start to chant "Omnes deam, Ego advocate nunc enim mille..."
