>Be Evan.
>Be 12, standing outside church at catechism, waiting in line for the church staff to unlock the doors so classes can begin.
>Lily Trent from down the street comes over and makes small talk.
>What up, Barker the Younger?
>Nothing, he says, teeth chattering. Can't wait to get inside.
>Yeah. Hey, do you know the Nicene Creed?
>The what?
>The Nicene Creed?
>The Nicey Creed?
>No, the NICENE Creed? I have to have it memorized. It's really long. You're smart, so I thought you might know it.
>Oh. No. I had to memorize it too but that was last year. I never had to recite it again so I forgot it.
>Oh. Damn.
>Lily stands there a moment.
>Why do they make us do all this anyway?
>I have no clue, says Evan.
>They're standing underneath one of the snow-covered crab-apple trees that line the asphalt drive in front of the church entrance.
>The tree branches grasp and grope over top of them, dusted with snow.
>All of a sudden, a disturbance in the top of the tree.
>Snow drifts down like powder.
>In the thick of the tree's top branches, a huge hawk spreads its wings and flaps out into view, cruising away over the front lawn of the church.
>Holy shit, yells Lily.
>Evan sees a dead rat or chipmunk or something grasped in the hawk's talons, dangling limply as the hawk beats its wings in the January air.
>Did you see that? Lily shrieked.
>Yeah, it got a rat or something.
>It was eating it. Right above us, the whole time!
>Yeah, I know.
>It was like, why don't you guys shut the fuck up, I'm trying to eat this fucking chipmunk!
>Yeah, it sure was, says Evan. He's shocked by Lily's language. This is the first time he's heard a girl younger than him say the f-word multiple times. And she said it right in front of a church!

>Lily chuckles.
>She steps closer to him, gets her face right next to his.
>You ever smoke weed? she asks him.
>Uh, no. I haven't.
>You should, she says, her eyes twinkling. It gets you... closer to God.
>She darts off, laughing.
>Evan is good on the weed. His parents would kill him if he ever even thought about it.
>He decides he should probably avoid Lily Trent for awhile. She cusses and is probably a pothead. He'll get in trouble if he hangs around with her.
>He watches Lily join another group of kids, make small talk, and ask if any of them know the Nicene Creed.

Wizards - Douxie x OC 1 (Complete)
There aren't many of these out there and I'm really REALLY in love with Douxie so I decided to give this a try. This book follows the storyline of wizards with the addition of my OC. You could see it as an x reader if you want and are alright with the backstory of my OC as King Arthur's daughter. SO MAJOR SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE SHOW YET!!This book is complete and the sequel is out! Like the title says, this is a Douxie x OC, I don't know why but I just can't handle the whole (y/n) name thing, I'm worse at writing when I use that somehow and I deeply apologize for it.
