yes , ive thought about taking you up on the money potion , but those kinds of things feel like cheating .
just because we can make potions for our own gain , doesnt mean we should .
there are ramifications .
it could hurt your karma .
blinking at her , i felt an instant wave of guilt crash into me .
not only had i made a love potion earlier , id given some to ethan via the healing salve .
my only thought had been helping him .
if only id remembered the love potion spilling into it sooner .
besides , id been so sure jessa would get behind me that id ignored the niggling voice in my head , warning me not to proceed .
now i faced the consequences of my actions .
what did you do ?
jessas eyes widened .
did you make the money potion ?
if you did , i lied .
ill be the first to try it .
no , i ... .
the words failed me and a blush burned my cheeks .
worse .
whats worse than that ?
you didnt perform black magick on someone , did you ?
no , thats not you .
id notice stains on your aura .
jessa jumped to her feet with a swish of her skirts .
you made a love potion ?
youre planning to give it to someone , arent you ?
i looked up at her , unable to hide my guilt .
it was an accident .
i spilt some into the second batch of healing salve i made .
and ?
and ethan got hurt protecting me from the werewolf .
i applied the healing salve with the love potion to his wounds .
only when i started putting it on myself to take care of a few scrapes , did i remember .
sagging my shoulders , i stared at the beige carpet .
i didnt mean for this to happen .
does he know ?
no .
i almost told him , but i was too afraid .
as it was , he knew i was hiding something and started to storm off , but then greg showed up .
it wasnt pretty , to say the least .
the memories of the incident were bad enough , but i knew jessa would ask .
they nearly got into a fight .
im not looking forward to dinner saturday .
they are probably going to tear each other apart .
honey ... . jessa sat next to me on the couch .
its going to be okay .
you didnt mean to use the love potion .
if not much got spilled , then i dont think youll have a problem .
love potions are tricky and unreliable .
she rubbed her hand over my back .
i remembered how much went into the salve , and it was enough to affect me .
the boys wont make too much of a commotion in front of your parents .
if they do , theyre jerks .
wait ; you said ethan was injured protecting you .
how bad was his injury ?
do you think ... ?
he was scratched .
you know what the legends say , and usually when folklore points at something , its true .
im hoping the healing salve will prevent anything ... hairy , but i dont know .
i didnt even think werewolves were real !
i walked into the kitchen , needing space .
why didnt you tell me ?
jessa followed me .
you think i knew ?
her mouth dropped open , as she leaned against the kitchen counter .
just because im a witch doesnt mean i know anything and everything about the supernatural .
sorry , i just figured since youre my mentor and all .
if youre trying to take this out on me because i introduced you to someone who needed a potion , then youre different to how i thought you were .
i was trying to help , since you always shut out everyone .
jessa threw her hands into the air .
you never do anything with your powers .
you sit back , thinking you can be a badass witch like your grandmother , while never putting in the work .
your abilities are like any other muscle ; they can atrophy .
tears formed in my eyes .
i hated how right she was .
id wondered why my magic was useless against the werewolf , but i had only myself to blame .
look , im sorry , but im your friend .
if youre going to survive , you need a little tough love .
she closed the space between us and gave me a hug .
even if that means the truth hurts , you know .
if the werewolf comes back , ill tell him to get lost .
keep a low profile , and hopefully , they wont find you .
i couldnt believe this .
she had a point , but i was scared .
the guy i cared about was injured , and werewolves were after me , for crying out loud .
we walked to the front door .
ill talk to you later .
you know what you need to do .
release the fear .
the door shut behind jessa , and i locked it , resting my forehead against the painted wood .
jessas words resonated through me .
release the fear .
that was all good and well , but when a werewolf charged at you , not being afraid was ridiculously hard .
ethan had kicked the beast in the face , courage and determination in his eyes .
then again , he was a soldier .
they had to be tough .
no excuses .
excuses would only hamper my growth .
thoughts of last night filtered through my resolve .
had ethan made it home okay ?
i shouldnt have allowed greg push us apart when ethan had been on my doorstep .
