Jinxed

Namaste, dear friends!

I am Sadie Beauchamp, empath, wiccan, psychic, and crystal collector. I own a small shop near Michigan Avenue in Chicago, live upstairs, and have a business partner, Neil, who is into the occult.

I also have five soul sisters who love and respect my abilities, although, to be truthful, they don't exactly understand my life. One is a lovely woman who has found her worth; another is almost as free-spirited as I, simply pacing her cage at the moment, yet another, a paragon of beauty and grace, with immense restraint and an imminent implosion, along with the older soul sister, whose tragic past shapes her personality, and finally, my goth-loving, gun-toting, smart-mouthed sister, who has secrets too painful to reveal and a brother, Mitchell, who masks his inability to save her by rescuing those the world has forgotten.

I also have a big secret, well two if you count a one night stand with Mitchell twenty years ago.

And Mitchell? Well, he scares me – at least I get nervous and shivery whenever he is near. His aura is so murky, I can't begin to read it. I'm afraid Kimy will insist on calling Mitchell and he will show up, guns blazing, to save the day.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure my heart can stand his presence for that long. Of course, Chloe doesn't think it's anxiety, she thinks it's attraction. Me? Attracted to Mitchell? Never again. We are complete opposites.

Then again, they say opposites attract …
