Welcome to The Witchling Hour! In this story there is a lot of twists that will come. There is a couple ideas that I must give credit for. In Vampire Kisses, I used the idea of a mansion and a housekeeper. (Very good book) and The Secret Circle. One sentence really stuck out to me in that book and it fits perfectly in this story. This story is going to be about two twin sisters being pulled into a world of they never dreamed or wanted. Slight romance, fighting and lots of adventure :) Hope you enjoy! ~Witch

The Witchling Hour

Chapter 1: Getting Ready

The night of October was the best out of all the months. It was the last night of October, October 31, Halloween night. I looked back at my perky, bubbly sister flying around the house looking for makeup. Alessa's favorite holiday was tonight, it was my favorite too. We dressed as the witches of Samhain in long black dresses and dark eye makeup. We stood in front of the mirror putting on pale shimmer powder and black lace gloves. I smiled as I put the finishing touches on my costume why my sister got out trick-or treating bags. Alessa is thirteen and I am fifteen we both have the same black raven hair and blue sapphire eyes.

"Lucinda come on" Alessa yelled beaming with giddy joy, like a kid in a candy shop.

"I'm coming" I yelled back grabbing, Alessa and locking the door.

Our parents weren't home, on "vacation" as they called it. Though, they were both having affairs with one another. Dad was with a bartender and mom was with her banking accountant and neither of them knew they were cheating on one another. Since our parents were gone I was in charge tonight though I didn't need to watch Alessa. She was old enough to watch herself and go out on her own. We walked, our shoes getting wet from the grass and our gloves falling, we waved to our friends and carried on. We didn't have any friends really, only lab partners that were forced to work with us. Alessa and I were always together and we only needed each other. We came across the creepy, old mansion, which everyone believed it to be haunted; no one came up to the house though the lights were on.

"I dare you" Alessa said smiling and going near the entrance to the mansion. She knew I was a girl who never turned down dares.

"Remember, Alessa, if there is any candy, I'm getting the better candy" I said my back to her as I walked forward.

"You better give me some" she demanded her voice sounded like a child though her looks looked more my age. She meant business because, with Alessa, she lived for candy and junk food.

"I'll give you two" I suggested with the same whiny attitude she gave me.

"Deal" Alessa finally said agreeing with me. We shook on it and I walked into the driveway.

I had finally gotten up to the doorway and knocked on the door, waiting there took forever! I went into the safety of my own thoughts and started thinking.

The house wasn't really scary, people only saw the bats flying around and how it looks at night. It looks like a regular house to me though, though people tend to judge people very quickly. It's very easy to be judged here in this small town. The mayor was prejudice or something; our town was on the land where the Salem Witch Trials were held. The townspeople kept the thought of our ancestors in their mind so they judged newcomers bad if they weren't like them. Pathetic. My trail of thought ended when I finally head the sound of footsteps and the door unlocking. The door had finally opened, I had grown cold and annoyed by then. The man was around fifty years of age maybe forty and dressed in all black he was as pale as my shimmer powder.

"We don't have any candy" the man said and slammed the door in my face before I had a chance to say anything.
