The Coven Est. 1774

[Sweetp4u]

occ: if we can all promise to slow down a little, we all can keep up. Nymph, we really dont want you to go, but i respect your choice. Consider for a bit? before deciding. This is what we need to do. Take it slower. These are new witches here, We havent even cast yet and already people have decided to find us. Even i was having to post faster than what was needed. We need to slow it down a bit. From here i think we can do this.. Each Witch will do her own thing, from learning about herbs, some spells, not casting but learning, and preparing things at home for the cave. Pastor let Raven resque Sara, and to help this story out some kind of spell to erase your memory of the past two days. two days only tho. We need time to get the witches in the story actually practicing. It is too soon to be found out, so stop finding out dangit! lol everyone needs to catch up. So lets try this out and see if it works. Everyone is at their own home. We'll say that we each took notes from the book and we are reading up on whatever we can find to help out the Coven. If this is a problem give me ideas here. But I feel we need to slow this down, or this thread wont go longer than a week. Let me know im alone for a few hours today.

OOC: Ok i can go slower and agree to everything I think that slowing down is a great idea plus not having to fight so early is also great.

 

[MysticWolphi]

i have an idea about this

what if we restart this and use what we have done as like a prelude to the real story? now we know what has happened recently, and who the characters are we can go SLOWLY from there? what do you guys think?

 

[poohlive]

Ooc: It's really not that hard to see where the Pastor came from. He needed to talk to Sara because of her fathers sleeping, which is why he was searching for everyone in the first place.
Everyone left the town, without the pastor saying anything, so he had to go to Sara's house to talk to her, but her father said she was at Katy's house. Boom, there he is, and he hears those things being done, and he asks them all to break the door down so he can begin the healing process. I'm not trying to barge into every scene, I'm simply trying to keep up with everyone. It's hard when I leave and everyone is out in the forest, and I come back and see you've all just solved everything and are now on your way without dealing with any other characters.

Aidan

ooc:ummm.....i'm totally lost as to where my charachter shoudl go, she doesn't seem to click with anyone. anyone got ideas?

 

[Sweetp4u]

occ: sorry pooh hun just trying to slow this down.. not restart.. should we just start a new thread from there??? i am so lost too this went faster than it was supposed to go. Let me see here how to fix it. For starters lets not write for any other person in here, meaning other writers. This is becoming a pain lol

 

[The GrandMage]

Restart? Hey, sounds good to me. Although, if I'd know this all would happen I wouldn't have spent an hour last night reading the stupid thing.

And just to point it out, there is a very large difference between wizards and warlocks. I'm only saying this because the two were used as synonyms earlier.

 

[Sweetp4u]

ok

occ:.. ok from here we will straighten all this out, making a new thread to continue the story would be confusing. So lets see if we can fix this. We'll keep the story the same, Raven go save Sara, not sure if Nymph is stayin in the story, if she doesnt we'll find another to write the part, write her out, or ill take her over.. something hopefully nymph will stay. We need to slow down if possible, and make sure we write in where we are and where we are going so no one wonders how we got there. And no writing responces for other characters.


oc: Katy and John make it back to the house, standing outside, Katy sends John inside the house, and she sits on the swing outside. Waiting for someone to show up.






occ: ok i will remain here til we all get caught up to one location and time frame. Machenzie is at her home... Katy is at hers..Adian start out from your house.. same with Dusty. Raven will get Sara home. Once everyone has read this and caught up, we'll meet at Machenzie's again. Post once your caught up to being home.

 

[MysticWolphi]

OOC: okies peachy! sorry my master has a habbit of saying peachy and its contageous i guess, lol. anyway here goes.

IC: Dusty rushes home, that man had appeared out of nowhere! MAGIC! real magic! she had known it was real but had never seen it before. she had to talk to Katy, but first she had to check and see if her mother needed anything. Reaching home she starts cleaning the house.

OOC:i hear and obey i am at home and will stay there cleaning everything till am told i can leave giggles lol

 

[Nymph]

ooc

I really liked the idea of this thread, but it seems to have degenerated a little. For one thing the speed of the develpment, but also that there seemed to be marginal controlling of other people's character, which is a major turnoff for me.
I also am not quite sure who got the idea of introducing my father, since I clearly stated Sarah is an orphan, working as a maid for the farmer.

I'm sorry, feeling a little stressed right now, may I'll be able to cool down later...

 

[The GrandMage]

The Familiar

OOC: Okay, I guess now is as good a time as any to pop in and screw things up.

IC:

The midnight black cat was running through the forest, it's paws beating the ground as it quickly covered ground between it and it's goal. It was a Familiar. Being a Familiar, it had been born on the same day as the witch it was the counterpart to. That said, the cat, which appeared to only have recently reached adulthood, was nearly twenty.

As it moved, it's fur changed into a tawny color. It quickl;y raced through the small town it was in, the last of its black fading moments before it was first seen. As a Familiar, it had access to the Familiar Well of Knowledge, which is how it knew its purpose.

It's purpose was to serve its mistress. As a Familiar, it had no name until given one. He bounded up to his mistress, and jumped in her lap as she sat on the swing. They recognized each other immediately. He rubbed his head against her, and slowly touched his mind to hers. "Mistress..."

Being in his feline form, he could only communicate through mental messages. He turned his eyes up to meet his mistress's, hoping to find approval. He had been awaked to Familiarhood when she had cast her first spell, and thad been traveling since.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Katy

A Cat landed on her lap and looked up at her. Katy smiled and cooed.."Nice kitty...OH you are a beauty arent you.." She petted the cat's fur a few times and smiled at it. When she heard something in her mind say "Mistress" She got a real strange look on her face..Looking around a little, wondering who had spoken to her. "Thats very odd kitty.. im hearing voices.." Laughing a little, well she was talking to a cat.
"So what shall we name you kitty? Are you male or female i should find out first huh?" She looked the cat over. It was sleek, strong too as cat's go.. and it had beautiful eyes..She had never seen a cat this color, almost matched her hair.. And its eyes were nearer to grey also.. That was interesting..
"Do you have an owner kitty?" Like she was going to get a responce.



occ: Going to have to explain to the newbie witch what you are and why you are there..

 

[The GrandMage]

The Familiar

He let out a soft purr and rubbed his head against her. She was nice enough, as humans went. But, she wasn't too bright. He supposed it was because she was young and didn't know. He'd teach her. He'd protect her.

He continued to purr as he touched her mind again. "Mistress, you hear no voices. I am your Familiar, the cat. I am here to serve you, teach you, advise you. To be your Familiar, your eyes, your guide. I am yours to command."

He waited a moment to let that sink in before he continued. "I am a male, my mistress. And I have no name. You must name me, mistress. You are my owner, I am yours."

He continued to pur as he rubbed his head against her stomach, enjoying the feel as she petted his furry body. It was almost everything a cat could want. All that was missing was some cream and fish, but he was happy where he was.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Katy

Stunned a little but really interested now, she grinned.. A familiar huh? She opened the book and read a little on it. And looked at the cat. She sent her thoughts to him a male cat, and my familiar you say? This is so new and so very interesting.. What shall I call you? she looked him over slowly.. he looked very wise to her, and as all cat's appear self assured of himself.
I shall call you Thomas.. it is fitting I believe.. sounds regal to me anyways.. she scratched behind his ears, and picked him up. Standing she walked into her home and into the kitchen. Placing Thomas on the counter she grabbed a wooden bowl and poured him some milk. She spoke aloud to Thomas.."I'll have to go to the market in the morning Thomas and get you some food... I dont know if there is anything here you would like to eat.." She giggled a little.. talking to a cat and he can answer her back..

Katy put the milk away as her Mother entered the Kitchen.
"Katherine Elizabeth! What is that creature doing on my counter!?"
"Oh umm Hi Mom... He is a stray and I took him in.. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease can i keep him?" She used all her girlish looks to woo her mother into letting her keep the cat..
"I dont know Katy...But if i tell you to go ask your Father he will say yes.. So alright.. But It better be house trained!"
"Oh thank you Mother!" Katy kissed her cheek and picked up Thomas and the bowl..
"He wont be a pest Mother.. I promise.. Thomas is a good kitty.." She smiled sweetly to her Mother and went to her room. Once inside she placed the bowl and Thomas on the floor, and sat at her vanity.

 

[The GrandMage]

Thomas

He had the restrain the laughter that was sawelling inside his feline body. Thomas? Tom? It was hilarious. A male cat named Tom. But, he supposed that it was good enough.

He eagerly lapped up the milk, and then climbed up onto Katherine's bed. Katherine. Kat. It was so ironic that he could barely contain the mirth bubbling up.

He reached his paws forward, stretching his feline body, and gave a great yawn as a ripple of white passed through his fur. As a Familiar, his only power was to control the color of his fur.

He laid down, curling around so he was almost in a ball, and looked at his Mistress. Having not been bidden to do anything, he merely sat, and watched as he recounted the events downstairs.

House trained, indeed! Like he was some common animal. But, judging by the looks of the community, he doubted that anyone in town would be of any equal to his great mind. Why, he could talk a mob into attacking their own leader if given the chance.

And no one in their right minds went after a witch on their own. Unless they were a warlock...But it was best not to think about those foul things. He would protect his mistress. He wondered if she knew about his transformation at night?

Well, she'd find out...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Katy

She hummed a light tune as she undressed for bed. She looked over to where Thomas lay in a little ball. Aparently he was content. She smiled a little. She always wanted a pet when she was a small child, but was never allowed one. They had farm animals, as her Father put it.. They didnt need any in the house. She shrugged her shoulders, she won the battle, so to speak. Quickly she covered her window and stripped off all of her clothing. Washing fro head to toe and back up, she was finally content that she was clean. Slipping on her nightgown, she climbed into bed. She stroked Thomas for a few minutes, listening to him purr. It was a soft sound, content too. Climbing under the blankets, she whispered a good night to Thomas, and tried to sleep. Recalling the book, she quickly jumped out of bed, and grabbed her satchel. Taking out the book, she hid it under a loose board in her floor. Tomorrow she needed to take that book to the cave and hide it. Climbing back into bed, she once again said good night to her Familiar.. and went to sleep.

 

[The GrandMage]

Thomas

He purred contentedly as she stroked him, and then watched with curiousity as she went about her business. He gave a small yawn, and went the the window, and batted away the covering, looking outside.

The sun was setting. As it lowered behind the hills, he began to feel the changes. He grew, and his fur and tail disappeared. In a matter of moments, he was a young man, a graceful build that reflected a quiet feline grace and strength, with shoulder-length midnight black hair.

He moved away from the window, and wandered bck over to the bed, where he sat on the floor next to it, watching his mistress sleep. He gently nudged her mind, and whispered close to her ear, "Mistress, I've changed, should I leave the domicile?"



OOC: I hope it's night now. I'd hate to think I'm as stupid as I seem.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Katy

She awoke when she heard Thomas questioning her.. She didnt open her eyes right away, she was so tired.
mumbling a little she spoke aloud..
"changed? Go to sleep Thomas.. No need to go anywhere.." She yawned and cuddled deeper into her pillow, she was so sleepy.
What did he mean by changed? She was too tired to ask, she rolled onto her back and stretched. Once again she whispered half asleep.." If you want to prowl like cat's do.. the window is open.. Or just curl back on the bed and sleep...*yawn* up to you.." She sighed heavily, and slowly drifted between sleep and awake..

 

[The GrandMage]

Thomas

He looked at the bed. It seemed to be quite small now that he was no longer a feline. But he had been traveling, and was not in the mood to go prowling. "Yes, mistress, if you beleive so."

He rolled his tongue in his mouth. The entire process of speaking through his vocal cords was quite entralling. He climbed onto the bed, cruling himself into a small ball at Katy's feet.

He was right, the bed was small. It took every bit of control not to lay right on top of her feet, and was instead touching them from almost every angle as he lay, closing his eyes and yawning.

It really was a bother, turning human at night. But, tomorrow the sun would rise, and he would be a cat again. But tonight, he supposed he would sleep. It is what his mistress told him to do.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Katy

She giggled when something touched her feet. And giggled again when it was touched again. She pulled them up higher to her chest, but she was awake now. Sitting up rubbing her eyes, She opened them up. "Oh my!" She gasped out.. there was a male at the foot of her bed!?!?
"what are you doing in my bed Sir?" She was a little lost.. Then she thought of something...
"Thomas??...oh my gosh.. tell me im dreaming..?? tell me i am nuts and you are not my cat!?" She scooted up to the head board just staring into his eyes... She knew without asking, somehow she knew.. And she chose to ignore it. She didnt read the whole book on familiars' but she knew ...

 

[The GrandMage]

Thomas

He opened his eyes, looking up at her. He sat up on the bed, stretching his arms apart. "Of course it is me, mistress. I change at night. It is part of being a Familiar."

He sttled his naked form in a much more comfortable postion, and stared at her. Even in his human form, he could still see well in the dark, and he noticed she looked surprise.

"I am sorry if I surprised you, mistress. If you want, I will leave you."

He stood up, and continued to watch her, prepared to carry out any order she would give.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Katy

She kept her eyes on his face.. She needed to get him something to wear then at night.. She couldnt walk around her room with a naked male.. It was sinful! She was curious though.. She felt bad for her reaction. She was acting like a ninny.. A complete and total nut case.
"no Thomas.. Dont have to go.. Please brace the door with my chair so no one can walk in here though.. If i was caught in here with a ... male.. I would be in serious trouble." She climbed out of bed and looked around her room. She didnt see anything he would fit into in her clothing..
"remind me tomorrow Thomas to find suitable clothing for you when you.. are human.." She got up and got an extra pillow from her foot locker. "I suppose you will have to stay here.. I cant have you running around town umm.. bare..She climbed into bed and put the pillow next to hers..She averted her gaze, she didnt want to stare at him.. make him feel uncomfortable with her. She didnt feel uncomfortable around him.. Just well something..
"climb in here and sleep next to me.. But give me your word Thomas you will stay to yourself.." She wasnt sure if he functioned as a human or not..

 

[The GrandMage]

Thomas

He went immediately to his tasks. He braced the door with a chair. He turned his attention back to his mistress. She seemed uneasy.

He moved to the bed, and lay down next to her. The bed was too small. He lay against a side, leaving only enough of his body on the bed to balance on it, giving her ample room, and yet still their sides touched.

He felt his body react to the feel of her soft skin, but made no attempt to act upon it. He had been order. He lay still, and closed his eyes. "I promise to do nothing for which I do not have your permission, mistress. That is the most I can do."

He gacve a small yawn, and lay, willing himself to sleep.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Katy

She did glance at him when he back was to her, He was built larger than normal males she had seen before. She turned on her side, facing towards the window to give him more room. She was going to need a bigger bed. "Alright Thomas.. I accept that" She knew he wouldnt harm her, she had felt a kindness almost loving caress when he touched his mind to hers.. She knew she was in no danger with him. She lay on her side on the edge of the bed giving him room. His skin touched hers through the nightgown, here and there in places. She made no move to pull away or act like a kid again. She was safe.. she knew that much. Sighing she let her eyes drift closed again. Peaceful sleep was what she needed to get rid of the images of his body. She whispered a soft good night to him, and snuggled deep into the covers.

 

[The GrandMage]

Thomas

"Goodnight, mistress" he said gently. He let his mind wander.

Soon, however, he found himself thinking about when he had been a cat and the top of his head had brushed against one of her breasts. Then, it had seemed irrelivant.

Now, he could only imagine her and him in his human form....

He blocked those images from his head, and gave his mistress a mental caress to help her sleep, and allowed himself to nod off. As soon as the sun rose on the morrow, he would be a cat again, and able to put such thoughts from his head.

He did not want to disappoint his mistress by acting on urges she had forbidden him to act upon.
