Greta had had her head tucked into another book and was relishing Oakshaft’s abandonment in search of his sister because it meant that she got to spend time with Cameron by herself.  Without Oakshaft. She tried to not let it colour her relationship with him but she was jealous of her stepbrother. He was magical in a magical family that probably suited her magical elder brother far better than she did. She felt the odd one out and it was lonely.

They all got to do lots of things and go lots of places she simply couldn't go because she didn't have magic. It was very boring and every year it got more and more dull and she could literally feel her life ticking away. She knew that even if she got married to a magical person like her mother it wouldn't mean anything. She still would be living the exact same magicless lonely life.

Magic, from what she had read from snooping in her step-father's office, from her brother and from Maddie, and from all the books she could get her hands, was exciting! And even women had exciting lives because of it.

Oh how she wished she could become a witch! She wanted to be one so bad that she could’ve sworn magic was happening around her constantly but... She was trying to be realistic and not get her hopes up afterall. It could've just been Oakshaft or her brother.

She'd be twelve in September which meant when her brothers letter arrived it would be the end of that dream and she'd be stuck. She'd be stuck following a boring magicless path whilst the rest of her family went off to magic school and excitement. What was she even going to do? She defineately was not looking forward to having the run of the house again as her brother called it.

"Oh what fun." She said sourly. It was unfair she knew but it was also unfair how much her brother was looking forward to going away and how he had been gifted with magic and she had not.
