My birth was a momentous occasion for the Hawthorne family, tinged with both joy and sorrow. Born under the pale light of a full moon, I entered the world as the latest heir to the Hawthorne legacy, destined to inherit the powers and burdens that came with my lineage.
The full moon on the night of I, Gloria Hawthorne was born held a mystical significance that extended far beyond the confines of my family's estate. A strange figure was seen to have passed through the Hawthorne mansion, but the Hawthorne were less concerned as they were powerdul and referenced, so they bask in the joy of the day.
As I took her first breath, the air was heavy with anticipation and apprehension. my parents, Elias and Seraphina Hawthorne, watched with bated breath as their newborn daughter was welcomed into the world. Though their hearts swelled with pride at the sight of their precious child, they could not ignore the shadow that loomed over my future.
From the moment I entered the world, it was clear that I was no ordinary witch. As I lay in my cradle, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, her parents marveled at the remarkable abilities I displayed from such a young age.
Even as an infant, I exhibited an innate command over magic that surpassed anything my ancestors had ever seen. With a mere thought, I could move objects with a flick of my tiny fingers, my laughter ringing out like music as I delighted in my newfound powers.
But it was not just my telekinetic abilities that set me apart. From the earliest age, I displayed a natural affinity for the elements, my connection to the earth, air, fire, and water evident in the way I moved and interacted with the world around me. I could summon gusts of wind with a wave of her hand, conjure flames with a simple incantation, and even communicate with the spirits of nature that dwelled in the forests surrounding Hawthorne Manor, by the time i started walking.
Perhaps most astonishing of all was my ability to fly—a skill that most witches spent years mastering through rigorous training and practice. But for me, it came as easily as breathing. With a leap of faith and a whispered word, she would soar into the night sky, her laughter echoing through the air as I danced among the stars.
As I grew older, My powers only continued to grow stronger, my magic expanding and evolving with each passing day. And though I faced many challenges and obstacles on my journey, I never once doubted the extraordinary gifts that set me apart from the rest of her family.
Luna Silverwood
As I ventured through the moonlit woods surrounding Hawthorne Manor, my young heart raced with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. The night seemed to whisper secrets in my ear, each rustle of leaves and crackle of branches heightening my senses as I navigated the shadows.
Suddenly, a low growl shattered the stillness, causing me to freeze in my tracks. My pulse quickened as I strained to see through the darkness, my breath catching in my throat. Before I could react, a figure emerged—a creature of the night with fur as dark as the midnight sky and eyes that glinted with an otherworldly light.
Terrified, I stumbled backward, my mind racing with fear as I prepared to defend herself. But just as she was about to summon her magic, the figure paused, its features softening with an expression of regret.
"I'm sorry," a voice whispered, low and apologetic. "I didn't mean to frighten you."
I blinked in surprise, my fear giving way to confusion as I stared at the figure before me. It was a girl, a baby female werewolf not much older than herself, with wild, tousled hair and eyes that shimmered like pools of liquid silver.
As the realization dawned on me, my fear ebbed away, replaced by a sense of curiosity and intrigue. Who was this mysterious girl, and why was she out here in the woods alone?
"I-I thought you were going to hurt me," I stammered, my voice trembling with uncertainty.
The girl shook her head, her expression softening with understanding. "I would never hurt you," she said earnestly. "I'm Luna. What's your name?"
Touched by Luna's sincerity, I felt a wave of relief wash over her. Tentatively, I stepped forward, my fear melting away as she extended a hand in friendship. "I'm Gloria," I replied, a shy smile gracing my lips.
Luna returned the smile, her eyes sparkling with warmth. "It's nice to meet you, Gloria," she said. "What are you doing out here in the woods all alone?"
I hesitated, unsure how much to reveal to this newfound stranger. But something in Luna's eyes put me at ease, and I found herself opening up in ways she hadn't expected.
"I was just exploring," I admitted, my voice tinged with excitement. "I like to come out here and see what I can find. What about you? Why are you out here?"
For Luna, the solitude was both a blessing and a curse. Alone in her thoughts, she found solace in the quiet moments she spent wandering the woods surrounding her home, her only companions the creatures of the night and the whispers of the wind. But as she grew older, the weight of her isolation grew heavier, the ache of loneliness a constant companion in her heart.
"It's my first time morphing," Luna confessed, I'm still learning to control it."
"I understand," I replied softly, my gaze meeting Luna's with unwavering empathy. "It must be difficult, learning to navigate your new abilities all on your own."
Luna nodded, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips. "It is," she admitted. "But I'm determined to master it. I don't want to be a burden to anyone".
"You are a witch"? Luna Asked
"Yes," I replied, my voice tinged with uncertainty. "I am a witch."
Luna's eyes widened with surprise, a mixture of awe and curiosity flickering in their depths. "Which family?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Hawthorne," I admitted, my voice barely audible against the backdrop of the night.
Luna's breath caught in her throat, her mind racing with a thousand questions. The Hawthorne family was legendary in the world of witches, their lineage stretching back through the annals of time. To meet one of their descendants was an honor and a privilege—one that Luna had never expected to encounter in her lifetime.
"Wow," Luna breathed, her eyes shining with wonder. "I've heard stories about the Hawthornes. They're one of the most powerful witch families in the land."I nodded, a hint of pride creeping into my voice. "Yes, that's what they say," I replied modestly. "But I'm still learning to harness my abilities. I have a long way to go before I can truly live up to the Hawthorne name."
And with that, I and Luna set off into the woods together, their laughter ringing out like music as they embarked on a journey of discovery and friendship beneath the watchful gaze of the moon.
