In the morning, the sun peeked out over the tops of the mountains.
I woke up with a jolt. I saw the beasts in my nightmare. I could hear the weak voices of my friends, "You're dreaming. Relax."
When I opened my eyes. They were looking at me, lying next to me. I pushed myself up and climbed down the bed. I walked over to the window with sleepy eyes.
A slow smile appeared on my face. There was a beautiful picturesque in front of me.
"It's beautiful," Silver said.
"A beautiful trap," Elizabeth murmured.
"Why?" I asked, still looking at the view of hills and morning sun in front of me.
"Some witches are so strong that they can destroy the world. They are full of evil."
"Are you okay, Emma?" Teal asked. I nodded my head. My gaze caught the dark leather tome. The sparkling increased and it burst into the air, it threw the book into the air and it tore into thousands of tiny pieces. The part of my brain seemed to shut off. My pulse quickened, "What's this?" I asked. "We broke the spell," Sap whispered, still in shock. I was staring at her, "Why am I precious? You know everything about me, indeed everyone." I swiped my gaze on Carlos. He returned the gaze but didn't utter a word. Sap glanced at Teal, her expression was nervous. "I need to know what's happening to me? Why am I cursed?" I never dared to ask this. Never. "You're cursed by a powerful Quee
THIRD PERSON's POV Silver slid under the duvet with her. The air was full of tension, silence was making it worse. "What are you doing?" Elizabeth asked, worry written all over her face "Look at her," Silver peered down at her and placed the back of her hand against her cheek, ''Her skin is cold. Her lips are turning blue. We can't let her die. She's our friend." "I've talked to mom. The book is the only solution." Elizabeth said, flickering her gaze out of the window. The night was dark, with no star, no moon. "How could Dastien leave her to deal with everything on her own when she doesn't know a thing about our world?" Silver muttered, under her breath. They were worried and frighten
I advanced my hand with hot chocolate coffee. Ava smiled at me and grabbed it enthusiastically. We were sharing the same eyes inherited by our father, light grey eyes, her hair was blonde and straight. On the other hand, my hair was dark brown like my mother's. She didn't wait for me to sit down with her and sipped from it, "Um," She moaned, "I was missing the taste of chocolate." She took another sip, hungrily. I nodded with a smile. Her smile mattered to me. I returned to the kitchen and looked at the second cup. I poured the steaming hot water into it. No one needed to know, particularly Ava. I trudged toward the kitchen and put the cup back with a soft sigh. I grabbed the cloth and began to clean the kitchen counter. It's my father's house, no splendid, no luxury, but a home. I don't know w
Opening, I shoved my hand in my pocket and took out the small key. I glanced back before climbing down the wooden stairs. It creaked under my weight. I wasn't heavy. Ava locked the door. I unlocked my bicycle and climbed on it. It was affordable. I reread the address he had sent me. It was somewhere in the middle of the woods. It would take me longer than I imagined. Taking a deep sigh, I reached my feet for pedals. Sligh bending ahead, I began to ride the bicycle. I wasn't scared of the dark. The moon was half in size and followed me over my head. There were a lot of things to be scared of, like dying with hunger, seeing my sister's broken face when her dreams would remain uncompleted, seeing my mother on the hospital bed. I was planning to tell Ava about my secret job. I did. I told
Mr Morris nodded and took a step forward. My brows pulled together. There was more he wanted to discuss. Perhaps! I wasn't getting this month's salary. I exhaled sharply. I could manage. "I have requested Donovan to admit you to the high school. So you could complete your study." Mr Morris said. My jaw dropped to the ground. I wanted to study, too. But I have no money. My family is more important than me. "My salary?" I drawled, "I can't afford it. Ava is more important than me." I said with no hesitation. She wants to be a doctor. I'm fulfilling her wishes. Our father should do this. Another sigh left my body. "I'm paying for you and your sister's study. I know the best doctors in the world." Mr Wolfe said. My eyes turned huge. He must be kidding me.&nb
Despite the worries, I pushed myself out of the bed. Ava wasn't sleeping next to me. To study in Oxford was her dream. She must be packing. She was sad that I wasn't coming with them. I took a quick shower and headed out of the room. My feet froze when I saw Mr Morris sitting in the living room and drinking tea. My mother was sitting on the second single couch, sipping her tea. She always cooked breakfast for us. "Hello, Mr Morris." I greeted him with a smile. "Child! The tea is very good. Join us," He lifted the cup and took a long sip, enjoying it. I sat on the couch but didn't forward my hand to serve myself a cup of tea. I forgot. He was coming to give a ride to my family as he was headin
It was a road full of debris and dust. I was moving back and forth, left and right as I was sitting on a roller coaster, "Don't they have smooth roads to the academy?" I asked, looking out of the window. The dust had almost blocked the view. He chuckled at the obvious incredulity in my tone, "The road is under repair, child. Sorry for the inconvenience." He said, reminding me of Mr Morris. After landing the plane, It had been more than an hour to us driving. The road wasn't full of debris. Now I didn't expect to see a smooth ride. "That's not your fault. I hope it will end soon." I clenched the handle to stop the fall every time it moved. "Only twenty minutes more," He said. I sighed nodding my head instantly. I was expecting a mansion with a lot of guards from his expensive suit and the payment I was getting for my job. Now, I was wondering. How would he have a
' I don't know what happened to her parents. Why is she staying with her grandpa? I don't want to prey on their life when I know how dangerous they could be. ' I breathed, my throat growing tight. I missed my father. I hadn't admitted and I never would. But I wanted him around us. I wanted to see the same affection in his eyes for me, Ava and mom. Sisily smiled brilliantly, as Donovan asked her to go back to her room. "The headmaster wants to see you," Donovan dropped the bombshell on me. He placed his hands in his pants pockets, took in a deep breath. I blinked at him, "Why?" I forgot that part. I hate it. Headmaster scares me. He turned and looked at me. Suddenly, his eyes seemed too young to me. I averted my gaze away. I was glad that I
