Sometimes I feel like there’s a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean.
Ivan was making dinner for himself when he heard noise coming from the fire escape outside his window. He opens the window and his eyes go wide when he sees a girl climbing towards him. He was frozen in shock.
Jinx smiles and nods, “thank you Eva. The world is definitely much more strange and hard to grasp then what I’ve read through books” she said to her. “It almost doesn’t feel real” She added.
Evan laughs and nods. “I felt dhe same way when Ivan and I cams to America.” She says. “We had no idea how anything worked until Ivan got a job.”
“I think I’m from this country…..I’m not sure. I don’t remember a time before I left the lab where I’d been outside. I don’t remember or have any recollection of what was before the lab…..I don’t even know my own age.” She spoke to them and sighed a bit. “So I understand” she spoke in a softer tone

James arrived to find Elsa, her sister, and Christoph already in the room. He decides not to bring up what happened earlier since he didn’t want to make things awkward. So, he entered the room and found a nearby seat. Unaware his seat would be near Elsa.
Luna entered the room next, but was coming in from the kitchen since she made dinner. She brought them some homemade pizza. A very long thin pizza that took her a while to make, but quickly cooked it thanks to her powers.
“I bring you all dinner, which is a veggie pizza. It took me a while to make this so i hope you like it,” said Luna as she sets the pizza on the table.
Elsa suddenly woke up and she sat up. She found Luna holding her shoulders and looking at her. “L-Luna…..wh-what’s wring what’s happening?” She asked her breath short and voice rasp. She blinked and let her eyes adjust and she blinked before breathing out and gathering her composure. “What’s wring?” She asked in a calmer tone.
“You were having a bad dream,” Luna replied as she explains what happened. “Looks like it was a bad one too. You want to talk about it?” she asked figuring talking about it will help unless she wants to risk going back to sleep and have the nightmare come back.
She could feel the dream already slipping from her memory as Luna spoke. She sighed and nodded no, “No I’m fine it doesn’t happen often. But…uh… what brings you here something wrong? What can I help with?” She asked Luna in a softer tone. Her eyes looking over the woman.
Luna though knew better though. She was troubled with what she saw and she knew it. “Its okay. Your not the only one who has nightmares…” she moves her hands up showing flames appearing around her hand. “When your the Rider you get plenty of those.”
She puts the flame out and turns to her. “I came here to ask you something, but instead I found you appearing to be troubled with a nightmare.”
“It’s already slipped from my memory…..but I must say I am sorry for you and the nightmares you bare.” She spoke before turning the attention to Luna’s question. “So what exactly is your question?” She asked Luna and gave a warm but small smile.
“Don’t be…” Luna begins smiling a little. “I accept this curse and I accept the suffering I bring to criminals,” Luna knew eventually the nightmare will return so she should stick around just in case. “Well, my question is…before you and James go on a date are you going to go see his mom?”
She asked more as a joke to lighten the mood and help her forget more what she dreamed about.
Elsa froze at the question. “Why would you ask that? It’s not my place I’m not with him. It wouldn’t work……” she spoke and laughed a little at her attempt to embarrass her more.
“Seriously though what was the question?” She asked again.
Luna giggled softly before patting the queen on the head. “I asked because if you two ever do get together, which it will work you both just need to try…then you should use your time in New York to meet his mom.”
She got up from the bed and stretched her arms. “Just wanted to check up on you so James won’t worry about anything bad happening to you. I’ll see you tomorrow Elsa and if you have any more nightmares you can always talk to me…or James who is not far from your room,” she said before taking off.
“I don’t think I’m really suited for a relationship. And I gave Anna the same lecture!…..” she spoke and heard Luna watching her begin to leave, “YOU CANT JUST RUSH INTO THINGS! ITS NOT SENSIBLE!” She tried to say in a louder voice as Luna left but mid statement she was already gone. The queen laid back into her bed turned off her bed side lights once more. And sighed out. Thankfully it didn’t take her long to fall back asleep. Though this time the nightmare stayed at bay. Leaving Elsa to sleep more peacefully.
When is Samhain? October 31st to November 1st. It is the halfway point between the Autumn equinox and Winter solstice!
What is Samhain? Asabbat marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of the darker half of the year. It is also a time to pay respects to and remember the dead. It is also sometimes called the “Witches New Year.”
Activities to celebrate Samhain may include, but are certainly not limited to:
Taking a nature walk to enjoy the last bits of the harvest season before the cold sets in.
Decorating your home with seasonal decor and autumnal colors (foods of harvest like corn, acorns, pumpkins etc. make good decor)
Set up an altar to honor your ancestors
Prepare a nice dinner and set places for those who have passed
Tell stories about those who have passed with shared loved ones
Visit the cemetery for your own loved ones and for those who do not have anyone left who remember them
Hold a seance
Any type of divination/divinatory guidance
Join the community! No need to celebrate the entirety of the holiday with others as Samhain is probably the most private of all the Sabbats, but hosting or attending a ritual or feast can’t hurt anything.
Foods/Herbs/Spices associated with Samhain:
allspice berries
broom
catnip
mountain ash berries
mugwort
mullein
oak leaves
rosemary
sage
pine cones
straw
corn
turnips
apples
gourds
nuts
mulled Wines
beef
pork
poultry.
I hope you all have an amazing Samhain, and I also hope you are just as excited as I am for the new season!
