(DARIAN)
I get to my feet, snarling. "No. If you're here to convince me that Alice is using dark magic, you are way off, and that is not something I want to hear. Not from you."
Jimmy tries to make his case. "What if she doesn't know she's using it?"
"Yes, that makes perfect sense," I agree sarcastically. "Using magic is like wishing upon a star. It just happens with your thoughts."
"Well, I'm out of ideas then!" Jimmy growls.
"If it is magic," I say after a prolonged silence, carefully choosing my words, "who's to say it's not somebody else protecting her?"
"Like another witch?"
I meet my friend's gaze. "Wouldn't that be the more likely scenario? Even if Alice wanted to learn dark magic these past seven years, the seal on her would have prevented her from doing so. It only makes sense that there's another witch trying to protect her."
"A white witch protecting a dark witch?"
