Victoria Bennett @victoriaebennett.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Relief flickers across Enzo, and before I can second-guess it, his hand finds mine steady, urgent, grounding in a way I don’t have time to question. I don’t pull away. I run with him. The world blurs into motion as instinct takes over, my magic humming just beneath the surface, ready to strike if 100

I take him in quickly frantic, breathless, real and some of the tension eases, but not all of it. “I’m fine,” I add, though my eyes dart briefly toward the broken door, then back to him, something sharper settling in my expression. “But they’re 100
Victoria Bennett @victoriaebennett.bsky.social · 18/04/2026The crash of the door splintering off its hinges sends a surge of instinct through me, magic snapping to the surface before I can even think—but the sound of Enzo voice cuts through it just in time. “I’m here,” I call back, stepping out from the hallway, pulse still racing, power flickering 100

I finally glance up at him, a spark of unease flickering behind my focus. “It’s a spell,” I admit, closing the book slightly, careful but deliberate. “And it is to keep "A Siren" song locked away.” 100
Victoria Bennett @victoriaebennett.bsky.social · 31/03/2026I don’t look up right away when Enzo speaks, my eyes locked on the page as the symbols seem to shift the longer I study them. “Maybe,” I murmur, voice quieter than usual, threaded with concentration as my fingers trace the worn ink.

My eyes drift briefly toward the trees, the quiet around us suddenly feeling thinner, like 100
Victoria Bennett @victoriaebennett.bsky.social · 30/03/2026“They don’t want to protect me,” I say firmly. “They want to use me.” A brief pause, my voice lowering with quiet certainty. “So the real question is… what happens when they don’t need me anymore?” 100
Victoria Bennett @victoriaebennett.bsky.social · 30/03/2026to blood—my blood. I let out a slow breath, my jaw tightening as pieces start to fall into place, none of them good. The Armoury chasing me, others hunting me, and somewhere in the middle, a spell only I can undo. My eyes flick back to Enzo, steadier now, more resolved despite the unease. 100
Victoria Bennett @victoriaebennett.bsky.social · 30/03/2026I go still at his words, the air seeming to thin around me as I process them, my gaze sharpening on Enzo. “A spell… that needs Bennett magic,” I repeat quietly, more to myself than to him, the implication settling deep in my chest like a warning I can’t ignore. Of course it would come back 100

Victoria Bennett @victoriaebennett.bsky.social · 30/03/2026The quiet of the lake does nothing to settle the questions circling in my head as I step out from the cabin, my eyes finding Enzo by the water’s edge.

Victoria Bennett @victoriaebennett.bsky.social · 30/03/2026for your help… not out of sentiment, but necessity. Whatever you think I’m hiding is irrelevant right now.

Victoria Bennett @victoriaebennett.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Alexandria let the silence linger on the line just long enough to remind him who held the upper hand, her breath slow and measured before she spoke. “You’re mistaking patience for betrayal, Enzo,” she replied, her voice smooth, controlled, yet edged with quiet authority. “If I were hiding something 100
Victoria Bennett @victoriaebennett.bsky.social · 29/03/2026r, we want to make sure she is looked after and protected. She is one of the only Bennett witches in existence and unlike you, I don’t have the luxury of hesitation.” My gaze hardens, even though he can’t see it. “So decide, Enzo… are you looking for answers, or are you trying to save her?” 100

Victoria Bennett @victoriaebennett.bsky.social · 29/03/2026I let a quiet breath slip through my teeth, his stubbornness as predictable as ever. “Still negotiating, Enzo?” I murmur, my tone smooth but edged, fingers tightening slightly around the phone.

Victoria Bennett @victoriaebennett.bsky.social · 28/03/2026The sound of my phone cuts through the silence, and I stare at Enzo's name flashing across the screen like a question I’m not sure I want answered.
