Chapter 3

What the hell?

To my greatest surprise, all I found in the box was a very big book. 

"Grimoire (A book of the spell)" 

Wow!!! This looks a bit creepy. I opened the book and found many ancient spells and rituals written in it which got me thinking...

"Was my mother a witch?" I asked myself

Days went by and all I did was go through the book. And one night, something in the woods called out to me. It was a female voice. 

"Help him please, he needs your help," the voice said.

I hesitated at first but when the voice persisted, I picked up the lantern and decided to go into the woods and find out what was wrong. 

Kept walking and walking deep into the woods and couldn't find anything or anyone. I was about to give up when I saw someone on the ground who seemed lifeless. Drew closer to the person...

"Oh, God!!!" I became scared and decided to run back home but something stop me from running. Looking down, I saw a hand holding my gown,

"Please, help me," he said as he lost consciousness

I almost left when I remembered the voice I heard

"Help him please, he needs your help"

I can't just leave him here but how am I gonna carry him. Thinking of how am going to carry him to my house, I remembered a spell I came across in the spellbook. 

"The Ascendio spell" 

It's a spell that can make someone ascend on air and fly. I've never tried it but there's always a first time.

I dropped the lantern, closed my eyes, and began to chant the spell.

opening my eyes, I found myself above the grounds...

Wow!!! This is amazing. I couldn't believe it I'm in the air defying gravity.

I took the same spell on him hoping it would work on him too.

Immediately, his body started to float in the air.  I manage to grab the lantern with one hand and with the other I held his body and directed him to my house. Getting home, I  chanted the "Descending" spell and we both came down to the ground. I dragged his body into the house and came back for the lantern only to discover some wolves coming towards the house. I had no other choice but to use the "Containment spell".

They couldn't get in and yes, neither can we expect if I  reverse the spell. Well, at least we are safe for now. I went back inside to help him heal.

Three days later, 

"Ahh!!! Mother!!!" he screamed out before waking up finally.

I stood in the dark part of the room watching him very carefully.

Finally, you are awake. I said and he turned to me about to attack.

Calm down, I'm not gonna hurt you, I said with a reassuring face. 

He let down his hands and asked

"Who are you"

I chuckled and then drew closer to him but observed that his eyes were all over my body. My eyes met his gaze and a teardrop fell from his eyes. I knew he was in pain.

"It's okay, you don't have to cry," I said moving closer to him

"How did I get here?" He asked as I made a halt

"Thanks for saving me would be nice but anyway, I needed herbs for something, so I set out into the wood to find some, only to find you on the ground badly injured. I wanted to leave but couldn't so I brought you here, cleaned you up." I said not wanting to tell him about the voice

"And yes, you've been out for f**king 3 days" I yelled

Oh no, Harry! He said as he rushed outside. I wanted to stop him but he left the room in a rush and I followed him and made a halt at the door.

Boom!!!

Ouch, that would hurt. I watched as he hit the ground.

No, don't, I said as he tried to leave and the same thing happened to him

"Don't bother, you can't get out?" I said

What's this? Why can't I leave this place? He asked 

"It's a kind of spell I use to keep myself safe," I explained

"It's called a containment spell" she added

Containment what? I asked confused

"On my way bringing you to this place, I noticed that I was being followed, so I used the containment spell to keep you safe and also be safe from whatever was after you," I explained further 

    " I used the spell after I noticed that there were certain wolves that came around looking angry."

I knew they were after you but didn't know why.

So tell me why I asked

"It's none of your business," he said

By the way, my name's "Rhea", what's yours? I asked

Thanks for helping me out Rhea  but you have to let me out now, he replied 

"Gosh, you won't even tell me your name. Well, you can't just leave, with the way I see it, those wolves out there will just rip you apart the moment they see you." Stated said

You don't understand, I have to go now, he pleaded

But I refused and said 

"No, not until you tell me what's going on. And who or what are you, and why those wolves were after you"

He went back inside and I pulled an old rocking chair to the shade under a tree and sat on it closing my eyes.

~present day~

Why were they after him? I thought to myself. Well, he's gonna have to tell me the truth before I will let him leave. 

I felt like someone was standing in front of me, immediately I opened my eyes and found him standing in front of me. 

"The longer I stay here, the more danger I'm getting you into," he said.

"You've got to tell me what's going on," I replied reluctantly

"Okay, My name is Jaden, and I'm a werewolf. Those wolves killed my mother and for them to have tracked me down here, that means Murphy, my trainer must be dead." He confessed

Shocked at what I just heard, I asked

But why are they after you?
