In Jane, Jewel is introduced as a teen witch who helps Jade, Jane, & Jill out of a tight spot. Jewel's parents are later killed in a car crash and Jade & Jane become her adoptive parents. What could possibly go wrong? This is an excerpt from Jane, where Jewel is first introduced....
Jill perked up as a young teenage couple approached from our target
building. We could tell they were a couple as they managed to rub
shoulders a few times crossing the street. Jill whispered that they
were a pair of young witches. As they entered the patio area, the
girl looked over at Jill curiously. We had a couple of seats
available and they plopped down across from us.
“Mind if we join you?” the girl asked.
I could tell she was the leader of this couple. The young man was
still looking at Jill. She was obviously Fae, pure blooded, her snow
white hair coming out from beneath the baseball cap failing to
completely hide her pointed ears and regal features.
“Certainly,” Jill said. “We could use some company.”
“I'm Jewel,” she replied. “This is my friend Ben. We don't see
too many Fae around here. Your magic is like a bright light, it's
really incredible.”
Nothing shy about this girl, I thought, looking at Jill to see how
she would respond.
“Nice to meet you both,” she replied. “I'm Jill, but you
probably know me as the Winter Queen. This is my friend, London Jane.
You probably know her as the day-walking vamp that has been in the
news lately.”
I gave Jill a quick glance as we exchanged handshakes across the
table.
“Oh wow, this is too cool,” Jewel said. “Something told me to
bring my yearbook with me this morning. Now I know why.”
Ben had his hand to his forehead. I could tell he
was a little embarrassed. “She gets an autograph from just about
anyone she thinks is anyone interesting,” he said. “This is our
last year of regular school. They’re shipping us off to witch
school in the fall.”
Parents or mentors train witches when they are young. When they get
to High School they start their formal witch training. That would
mean these kids were probably only around fifteen or sixteen years
old.
“I have the perfect spot for you guys.” Jewel said, opening her
yearbook up and flipping through it. I could tell each page had quite
a few autographs. It was obvious this was something she was really
into.
She stopped on the page labeled supe city club, and turned it around
so we could sign.
“Happy to do that,” Jill said, smiling. She signed Jill with the
Winter Queen written right under her name and the royal seal of the
Winter Court magically appeared below that.
“Showoff,” I said. I signed as London Jane and wrote day-walking
vamp under my name. I could tell Jewel was pleased.
“To think I had to drag Ben out of his apartment this morning,”
she said.
