It's finally All-hallows Eve October 31st or Halloween as most people would say.Every year my fellow witch sisters choose a meeting place so that we could come together and solve whatever issues we may have. Our witch circle is fairly small because you don't know who you can trust anymore. Our circle has been the same for years. we have beautiful Luna a very powerful witch with the powers of psychokinesis Luna says she loves her powers but when she's angry everything moves and it's very scary. we call bree mother nature because she has the power to control the weather this is very helpful on our vacations but bree usually let nature take his course being a good witch and all. And we have Lilith she is the most powerful witch I do believe without Lilith we cannot fix anything Lilith has many Powers I have seen her move things with her mind, change her eye colors, change shapes and she has the ability to see through walls and other things and could hear very far away she is definitely the most powerful of us all. And this leaves me my name is Cordelia I have the gift of intuition. Living in Salem Massachusetts is not the best at times for a witch with intuition. I was born in raised here in Massachusetts if this was 1692 I probably would have been hung or burnt alive already. What's unbearable is walking around with constant reminders of how numerous people died that may or may not have been practicing witchcraft. I usually walk around Salem attacked by the memories, because most of it is frozen in time in museums of what was. Now that I finally realized why I am so unusual is because I was born a witch, A very powerful witch with the gift of intuition that's if you want to call it a gift. This power gave me nothing but sorrow because as I grow I often react to people's emotions way before they express them and this leaves me looking like the bad guy for years my emotions have been all over the place. Believe me, feeling other people's personal feelings is nothing to wish for. Because most of the time people are not very happy and all that emotions comes towards me. Making me feel like I am being attacked and I usually respond badly. I'm never wrong about what I feel, but I'm always wrong because I'm fighting back because of how they feel about me accept they haven't told me how they feel yet. I guess being different people hate you because there are so many people that live right next to me that really have strong hated feeling towards witches. This is like being in hell when everyone is against you and you the only one fighting for yourself. As a witch, I usually dream about what's going to happen way before things happen. I've never really believed my dreams until they began to come true. Right now it's about 48 degrees here in Massachusetts and I'm already dressed and black from my head to my toes and not because I'm a witch just because I love black. I usually do small spells being that I'm a good witch. Just spells to shut people up just for a little peace once in Awhile. But these people are making it really hard for me to stay good. my mind often wonders about binding certain people because they really deserve it. But I never before did any black magic being that I don't know the consequences of the powers that I would release. I never before have done any black magic maybe I'm just scared that I may grow a giant mole on my chin and a long crooked nose or maybe turn green or something. I guess that's funny to you but the consequences are real and I don't believe I'm ready. From the beginning this had been a disaster so on all-hallows Eve, Luna, Bree, Lilith and I are going to come together to quiet down my intuition. We plan to meet at the North River of Salem walk. Because water has the most energy. Before our rituals, we must Purge ourselves and wash and stay away from animal flesh.we supposed to had met at midnight but we were running late and luna forgot the candles and everything was off. Something was just not right. Everyone said that they feel weird but we just ignored the feelings. As we arrived at the North River the mist in the air gave me a chill. Lilith began to bring up the old altar from under the dirt and the dust began to blow we covered our heads until it passed us by. We began to light the old candles and Lilith kneel at the altar holding up the cauldron we begin to recite earth, water, air, and fire until we felt like what we wanted was given to the universe. Lilith began to walk backward around the circle reciting a spell. The sky became dark and it begins to rain and fish was flying out of the sky and we begin running and when I turned around bree had hold of Luna choking her and bree had luna twirling in the wind. We began to run towards luna just to help her when Bree began dropping lightning bolts towards us. The rain was unbearable and we could barely walk with the wind blowing so hard we finally got to Luna and Bree released her just to hold all of us up twirling in the wind. Lilith began to chant and we began to follow saying." from the beginning we were one nothing on this earth could make it undone" from the beginning we were one and nothing on this earth could make it undone. Holding hands and chanting seem to be calming Bree down she let us go we hit the ground hard but we were ok. But we never stop chanting until Bree's eyes begin to look noticeable and then we called her name and when she responded we knew we had bree back. We never really understood what happened on that all hallows eve but we know next time if something feels off to pay attention. Bless be

I like the concept of this story: a witch wanting to weaken her intuitive powers. Cordelia is a relatable character, I feel for her. As far as improvements, there's some errors in punctuation and grammar, perhaps from writing in the moment and forgetting to check? Someone once told me to read my writing out loud, so perhaps try this and it will help you catch any mistakes or missing punctuation. I would have liked to have a little more characterisation with the other three witches, perhaps a little dialogue and some gestures that giv...
