I give her a smile. I made it that flavor just for her.

She takes another sip, then sits back. Don jumps off the bed and grabs one of the spellbooks, then sits beside her.

“Want to try out a spell, Princess?” he offers. She nods eagerly. He cracks open the book and finds one of my personal favorites. "Okay, Princess. Close your eyes and repeat after me."

He waits until her eyes are closed before saying the spell. "Starbrighas," she repeats. Twinkle lights explode over our heads and I smile. They seem brighter than usual.

"Okay Snow, open your eyes," I whisper in her ear and she shivers. She opens her eyes and looks disappointed. I point up and she raises her head slowly, the gasp escaping her lips making me chuckle. She looks back at me with such wonder and excitement shining in her metallic eyes. My breath catches. The way the light is reflecting off them looks like they contain a thousand little stars.

I am head over broom for this girl.

“Is something on my face?” she asks, quirking an eyebrow before wiping her face. I shake my head no and lean up to kiss her lips. She grabs the back of my neck, pulling me closer.

Someone coughs and she pulls back with a sheepish look, but I can't ignore the heat in her eyes.

She looks up once again, getting lost in the glow. “This is incredible, guys. I’m not sure how you pulled it off, but thank you. This night is going down in my journal as one of the best.”

“Night’s not over, sweetheart,” Arrow chuckles, coming up and moving her to his lap. She shifts to get comfortable, and I watch as he gulps and takes a deep breath. I don’t know why he fights the feelings he has for her.

She leans down and rests her head on his shoulder, still watching the night sky and the twinkle lights above. After a few minutes, they start to fade and she sighs.

“How about we add some more wood to the fire and see about contacting some spirits?” Don says, pointing to the Ouija board at the end of the bed. She nods excitedly and moves next to it, sitting cross-legged.

We follow and form a small circle. I had plans to use this bed for more exciting things, but I can admit the size is perfect for this activity. We all hold hands, and close our eyes as Arrow does the chant to the spirits. We had talked and were hoping with Silver here we may be able to contact Elena.

“Elena Forest, we call thee to come forth and tell us what happened in nineteen nineteen,” Arrow intones, making me chuckle under my breath. He pops open an eye and glares at me. I just shrug.

We open our eyes and place our fingers on the little planchette. It immediately starts to move and Snow snorts with laughter. “Stop moving it, you guys.”

I watch as it starts to spell out S-I-L-V-E-R R-U-N

She stops giggling to look at us. “That's not funny.” I look over at Don and he has a worried look on his face.

“Elena, why should I run?” Silver shouts to the sky. It starts to move again, and this time the color drains from my face.

N-O-T S-A-F-E H-E I-S C-O-M-I-N-G

Silver lets go of the piece and sits back, visibly shaking. “I know it’s Halloween, but why are you guys trying to scare me?”

Don talks first. “Just a bit of fun, Princess. How about we have some more drinks and try another spell?”

She sighs and nods, while Don looks at me and Arrow, the tension obvious in his eyes.

I hope that doesn’t mean he’s here. The prophecy states that nothing is to happen until her ascension, which is still a few months away. Her birthday being on the winter solstice proves just how eventful that night will be.

But I will do anything to keep her safe.She’s mine, ours... He can’t have her.

The rest of the night took a dive after that, and we decided to go back home. It’s safer inside if what Elena warned us is true. I stare up at the ceiling, watching as it gets lighter and lighter with the rising sun. Snow rolls over into my arms and nuzzles my chest. I haven't been able to sleep well, and I know she’s noticed.

“Did you sleep at all, babe?” she whispers in a sleepy voice. It’s sexy and husky.

“A little bit, but I’m good,” I say, running my hands through her hair. She sighs and runs her hands down my chest to my hardening dick. “Snow. What are you doing?”

She hums while running her hand back up and gripping the back of my neck. She rolls me over on top of her and my eyebrows arch in surprise.She never lets me top. But since Donovan and her have been experimenting, I've noticed she's open to more things. I start to kiss down her neck and she arches her back, sighing.

I look into her eyes and she gives me a sheepish smile. “Make love to me, Wells.”

I give her a smile and a soft kiss, then move my lips from hers to her neck, and further down. I stop at her perky nipples and give them a suck. She moans and grabs my ass, pulling me completely on top of her. I chuckle, coming back to her neck.So bossy.
