Previously on A Pair of Witches:
A smile crept up Lilith’s face. “How much of that devil vagina magic you got left?”
Sonya shrieked with laughter, initially joyous, but it strayed into a pained hopelessness. “You think I haven’t thought of that, woman? Running naked down the street wasn’t my first choice of self defense.”
And now....
The rebuke and the withering look that followed shamed Lillith. How had she not realised this about her friend? She took a breath and raised her head again. “So we need a plan then.”
“We?? Lil, honey, I have a plan. I know you don’t like it, but it’s working.”
Lillith realised too late she’d painted herself into a corner. She’d been so careful over the years to not out herself. The quiet, sneaky voice spoke up: she didn’t need to out herself. There was another way out of this still. Lillith shook that voice off. Sonya had been her friend and neighbour for years. She didn’t deserve being lied to. But there was also safety in being hidden.
“Um..” Lillith opened her mouth without a plan. She closed it again, but Sonya noticed the look in her friend’s eye.
“Spit it out. I don’t need the pretty version, so just give me whatever sort of words you got.”
Lillith stared into Sonya’s eyes. She wasn’t searching; she had her answers.
“I have magic,” Lillith said.
“I knew it!” Sonya whooped. “When do we start?”
