The Coven

I get the stranger back to my house fast and without many problems. As I walk up the yard my mother s standing on the porch waiting for me not exactly looking pleased. She sees, and I assume smells, the person with me.
"What is this?" she asks as she walks down the steps and straight to Harry. She gets lose to him and sniffs him a few times making a discussed face. "Alright get him inside before he attracts more."
"Yes Mama." I say as I walk him and myself into the house.
"what have you gotten yourself into child?" She asks as she mixes multiple herbs ad whatnot, im assuming to help him.
"He was following me, and then I ... I started to smell him." She slipped his shirt off of the unconscious guy and rubbed the herbs all over his body, slowly masking his sent. " Mama is he who I think he is?"
She puts the bowl in her hands down and whips her hands on her apron while walking over to me. She takes my face into her hands an looks into my eyes.
"I don't think so baby. I think its just in his blood. I don't even think he knows." she turns around and walks back over to him guiding his limp body to the spare room.
Mamas psychic, well sort of, she can feel others intentions and wants. I guess she didn't feel negative energy from him. But the sent was overwhelming, witch hunter. I've only ever met one, my daddy. I didn't sped much time with him, granted that the only time I met him was ... that one night.
I follow Mama and watch her put him to bed. She was always so caring, even toward strangers.
"You knocked tis boy out cold." she looked up with a grin.
"What was he doing, following me?" She laid the blanket over him and stepped back.
"Instinct, desire. he didn't know why but he had to follow you. He caught your sent just as much as you did his." She walked out of the room and closed the door behind her, making sure to lock it.
"Is that normal? And what are the chances that he shows up the same day as my seventeenth birthday?"
'I don't know darling, and I don't want you to stress it. now I want you to go back downstairs and wait for your present." She kissed my head and walked to her room.
She was nervous I could feel it but she hid it well. I did as she said and sat the kitchen table playing with the small grains of sugar scattered on the wood, making individual speck float up and down.
"Close your eyes." I herd my sister say behind me. I did as I was told.
"Okay open them!" on the table were a pair of keys.
"Keys?" I ask with little enthusiasm. "Are they enchanted, so they open something?"
My Mama laughed and shook her head, "You always think to hard. And yes they do open something, that car outside." I got up and walked to the window and sure enough there was another car out there. It was red and old, but had character.
"Thanks Mama." I really wasn't expecting something so normal but im happy for what I got even though I can walk everywhere I need to be and the car look as if get half a mile to the gallon. I hugged them and kissed them both in the cheek.
I walked upstairs, my curiosity was getting the better of me. When I got to the door I xlowly openec it and peeked inside to look at him again. Only he wasn't there, the bed was empty.
