Sunrise - A new day

I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes as I fished the keys out of my pocket to open up the Boathouse. It was saturday and my dad gave me the early morning shift that opened up the Boathouse and got it ready for the and gave the fishermen their early morning breakfast. I looked around to see if anybody was around waiting for us to open when I spotted a girl sitting on a bench. She seemed to be watching the sunrise. You don't see many kids my age up this early.

I turned to the voice. "Yea just about." I said and opened the door. "You can come in if you like." I smiled at her. It was nice to see new customers.

I shook her hand. "Adam, nice too meet you." I smiled. I knew she new, I haven't seen her around before but I guess I need a conversation starter. "So are you new here?" I asked opening the door after shaking her hand.

I walked up to the Door of the Boathouse, seeing Adam and Emma. I walked over to them, I smiled at them while walking up. "Hey Adam, Hey Emma. What's up?" I said, smiling at Emma. Even though me and her are soulmates, we're not officially dating.

Daniel again really? This guy pops out the wood work,well hes nice and hasn't done anything. I smiled "Hey Daniel, just meeting Emma." I told him. I turned back to her. "That must have been a big change moving, I've been here all my life. And my Dads own this place I just help him keep it running." I told her.

I glanced at Adam then back at Emma. I gave her my flashy grin, meaning 'yes'. She wanted to know if he was also a Witch like us, and that was most certain. "So, would you like me to buy you something to eat?" I asked, smiling at Emma.

There were alot of looks being exchanged between these two so I could tell they knew each other. What surprised me was Emma's question. How did everyone know about me? First Daniel now her, what the hell am I missing. "Um I'm not exactly sure how to answer that." I told her. I was starting to actually get suspicious of Daniel.

She wasn't sure what it was about Adams expression that made her mentally cuss. "Please, I mean no harm" and with that, gave Adam a quick explanation of how she only found out a very short time ago from Daniel (who she guessed must of senced it, but she wasn't sure if such a thing where possible) and how she had spent most of her teenage life blowing up stuff. She also added about her recent run in with witch hunters. "so you see, I am somewhat floundering in the dark a little with all this... not a concept I like... Im sorry for blundering in with a personal question. Im just trying to learn and not get killed" she gave a disapproving sniff and rounded on Daniel "Next time, would you mind making the detailed introductions so I dont make a total foor of myself" she said, her voice laced with annoyance. The detailed introductions were obviously referring to other witches. "And how did you know? At the time, I was not actualy destroying anything at the time'" she added.

OOC: Sorry for poor spelling and general lamenes. 3.30 am here and I cant get back to sleep

I nodded at Emma. "I'm sorry, to the both of you. I told Emma." I said to Emma. "She really does need our help with magic. She can't control it like the rest of us, and she doesn't want to hurt innocent people by accident." I said, pleading her case to Adam.

"Wow I'm a page behind. Can we start from the begininng here?" I asked. I could understand Emma wanted help and Daniel knew her but that was it.

I didn't know what to tell her. Devon was having the same problem and Cassie and I could barely figure that out, the only person she could ask is probably Jake. Unfortunately for her. "Sorry Emma, the Circle and I barely know what were even what were doing and I'm alread helping out my cousin with the same thing. You could as Jake and Daniel is the second who comes to mind who knows more about magic." I told her. First Daniel comes in knowing about magic, then Devon and now her. Me and the rest of the Circle barely knew our own powers, how could we help everyone else?

I smiled at Adam. His cousin is Witch, too? I thought, hearing his thought. Did that mean the Circle is bigger then we thought it would be? I thought a Circle would be the people who were next in line to hold the power, or is that an old myth? Magic can sure as hell be confusing. "Thank you, Adam. We'll keep that in mind." I said, trying to keep my voice level. I felt the same with Adam about Jake. I know he saw what happened sixteen years ago, but what about the stuff he did before he left?

"If you guys ever want help from the Circle we'd be happy to help its just we have to gain control of our own magic." Its not that I didn't want to help them its just we didn't have time for our own magic anymore and it was tough with all these new people coming in.

I nodded in agreement. Adam also had problems of his own, and it's not fair to dump our problems on him and his Circle. "It's okay, and plus, you have Devon too. You also have to help him with his magic, too." I said, smiling.

I knew she was going to ask that, I thought. I looked at both of them with a smile. "Jake ... is um ... a member of the Circle." I said, slowly. I didn't really like talking about Jake; neither did Adam. But I decided to be casual about it, and be nice to him ... for once.

"Well hes a member that wasn't ment to be part of the Circle, he stands in for his brother." I said looking away. It may have not seemed like it but back in Junior High Nick and I were best friends and it makes me sad that hes gone.

Emma looked between the two boys and frowned. She was positive that there was more to all of it, but didn't ask. It was none of her business, but she made a mental note to grill Danial later. "Fair enough - sorry if I touched a raw nerve," she said apologetically and continued with her next thought. "I have to wonder if theres a reason for so many wi-" she stooped, aware of other customers. "So many of our kind in Chance Harbour - it seems like a small town... so why so many of us?", she said, thoughtful.
