Chapter Fifteen
In a glimpse of my eyes, we are here in front of our house. Mia doesn't say anything about what is about the negative energy that I felt a while ago.
"Did you feel that energy?" I asked Mia.
She doesn't answer me until we get inside the house. I can feel her fear even if she doesn't show it to me. I can sense that she is too worried about me. I grasp her hands and ask her again.
"Mia, don't hide what you feel, I can sense it... Have you forgotten that I am your other half?"
She is like a smoke-shaped human, I can't even see her face nor her eyes that speaks what she feels. But, I am sure for myself that Mia hides something from me.
" Forget it, what's important right now is that you are safe. "
" I can't understand, why don't you want to tell me?"
"Soon, Thana you will know."
I was left alone with many questions in my mind. I feel there are too many secrets that hide in my personality, my identity of being a witch. I go inside to my room and throw myself in bed. Looking at the ceiling, thinking, and wondering about the negative energy that I felt.
Those sharp fangs and burning eyes like a fire that flaming my soul. I wonder what creature he is? The night is so vivid and the cold breeze of the evening makes my body frozen and I stare at the night sky and the clouds seem closer to me, the wind howled and I see the moon that gives light to my room.
A moment later, my eyes closed and I fell asleep. I wake up when I remember what my Grandmother said to our opponents who are hiding in the dark. I looked to the window where the curtain is slightly parted. I go back to sleep and let all my worries carry away. I just think about that tomorrow, for a new day. I don't know why but I feel excited to see Lucas again.
I woke up too early and prepared to go to school. I wear a black skirt above the knee and a powder blue blouse. I put some powder in my face and a lip balm that Mandy gave to me. I brush my hair many times that I never used to do.
Well, maybe I am just growing up and I want to look beautiful today. Suddenly Lucas came into my mind. Why do I feel so excited to see him?
I went out of my room and went to the dining area and picked the foods that my mother prepared for me.
"Thana, why did you come home late last night?" My Mother asked me, I can't even say to her that I see Lucas after my school and have a long hour with him just because of his grades.
"Oh, yes, Mom, I'm with Andy and Mandy. We have a group study." I lied to my Mother.
"Okay, be careful, and don't use your magic in front of many people."
I just nodded at her and hurriedly walked outside and I met my Aunt in the doorway.
"Oh, you look beautiful today".
I just smile at her and open the door and quickly walk toward my school. Just like I always did, I flicked my finger three times and in a second I was in the front of the St. Claire Academy.
I'm accustomed to the happening within the St. Claire Academy. The cautious, chaotic and judgemental eyes focused on me, but today is too different. Mandy is not with us to have breakfast that we always used to do before the classes start. I tried to talk to her, but she just ignored me and focused on Liam.
She found a new friend that can go along with her. She is now with Victoria and the others. Does my magic need her to remember that Andy and I were her true friends. I attended my classes together with Andy and dined together during our break. Mandy pretends that we don't know each other. There were times we met in the hallway and seemed nothing to her. Her time now is focused on Liam and with Victoria. I can't even understand why she gets along with that girl.
Second day of my tutorial class with Lucas and Andy is with Selena, after my classes, I went towards the library to meet Lucas and start to lecture him about all the lessons, just like yesterday he was patiently waiting in the front of the library it feels so glad that he was serious about what are we doing and hopefully he can pass the final exams.
"Hi" I greeted him and smiled a little. There were times I avoided him because it made me remember the night when I saw him naked. I just shook my head and walked inside the library. To my surprise, he offers me sandwiches and drinks, I smile and give thanks to him for the kindness that she shows to me.
Lucas was too serious and stay focus on what he is doing and I am happy to know that he can easily catch up on all the lessons that I teach with him.
Time flies too fast as the days go by. I get along with Lucas for the long hours that I'm with him. I realised that he is a very kind-hearted person, but there were times he didn't listen to me and there were days I waited for him for a long time. But, after those things happen, he always pleads and says sorry to me that I always forgive him.
He always treats me after we finish our tutorial lessons and offers to take me to my house, but I always refuse because my mother and my grandmother forbade me to socialise with anyone like him except Andy and Mandy. While Andy and Selena have also become friends and she often goes with Andy and me. And Mandy was becoming a stranger to us, there were moments I wanted to talk to her as she always does when she stays away from me. She's deeply in love with Liam, sometimes I blame myself that all that is happening to Mandy right now is my fault, I should not give the love magic poison to her and Liam.
I walked to the parking lot where Lucas was waiting for me. He requested a break in our tutorial lessons. I gave in to him after all three days from now the tutorial lesson with him will be soon over. I wonder where he will take me now.
I get inside his car and I don't have any idea where he will take me. We are both quiet along the road and I feel too shy to ask everything about him.
"Have you tried to watch the stars at night?" He questioned me abruptly.
"Oh, stars? Well, they are so common and even the moon during the darkened night. I used to hold the clouds and even I can talk to the moon?"
Lucas laughs at me from what I have said, I don't even know why I'm just telling the truth. Well, I don't care if he doesn't believe me.
" That is the one I like about you? "
" What? Do you like me? "
" Yeah, absolutely, you are funny, you say spectacular things that other girls don't do."
I rolled my eyes at him and turned my gaze out of the window of the car. In less than an hour, we can reach the place that Lucas said to me. The place is a bit high so you can feel the coolness of the air. It was getting dark when we got here. He held his hand to help me climb to the hill. In fact, I can climb here without getting tired with the use of my magic. I can easily get here.
I was amazed at what I have seen when we reach the hills. It was so beautiful and it's so captivating. So this is the place where we can stare at the stars, I don't even know that he is a bit romantic. I gaze at him from what he is doing, he laid down the mat and then he sat down, he looks at me and he invited me to sit next to him.
At first, I was too shy to sit next to him but, since Lucas was being good to me I will consider that he is one of my friends. He turned his gaze from afar and just said nothing.
"So, what are we going to do? Waiting to get dark to see the stars?"
"Well, yeah! I always do that, especially when I am sad, I just feel relaxed when I do that". Lucas explained to me.
"Really?"
He just nods and seems he has another word to say, but he chooses to be quiet. I don't even know how many hours we have been like this until it gets darker. Then suddenly, Lucas holds my hand that rattled me
"What are you doing?"
"Oh, nothing, I am sorry you are just too kind to me and different from the other girls that I have known."
"Okay, but you don't need to hold my hands."
"Why? Is there something wrong with that? What if I say I like you."
"No, don't make fun of it."
"I'm serious, I like you on the night I danced with you. I started to like you."
"What?" I was surprised by what Lucas said.
All of the sudden, Lucas gets closer to me and he kisses me. His lips touched mine and I could feel his tender kiss. I don't know why I let Lucas kiss me.
When I was back to myself, I suddenly stood up from my seat and just looked at Lucas wondering why he did that and why l let him kiss me.
Chapter Sixteen I was surprised by what Lucas did, how could he kiss me? Is he flirting with me just like he does to the other girls in the St. Claire Academy? I backed away from him as I was just shaken by what happened. He also seemed stunned at what he did, anxious about apologizing to me. “I am sorry Thana, don’t get it wrong, I like you..and I guess I love you... I was even more surprised when I heard those words from him, in my disbelief and trying to avoid him. I didn't notice that I flicked my finger when I disappeared in front of him. “Thana... Thana... Where are you? I am sorry, come back here.”
Chapter Seventeen It's already midnight and I'm still awake. The guy named Amherst can get out of my mind. I feel that he hides his true identity. I feel his powerful energy covering his body. What kind of creature is he? Does he belong to us? Or is he one of our enemies that hides in darkness? I stopped to think when I heard a series of knocks on the door. I slowly opened it and I was surprised, it opened up to me, my Grandmother, my mother and Aunt Salina. "What brought you here?" I asked them. "Oh, dear can we come inside, we have something to tell you." My Aunt Salina pleases me. I open the door wide to let them come inside my room. I wonder what they will tell me about this kin
Chapter Eighteen
Chapter Nineteen A girl with blonde hair motioned me to stand up in my seat, I looked at her from head to toe and I remembered she was the one who stared at me on the day of coming over here. Her eye is too sharp, it's like she's challenging a fight, after all, I just smiled and I remember Victoria from her. “Hey you...the newcomer. “ “Am I the one you are referring to? “ “Yes. “ She says it to my face. I stood up and faced her and then I stared at her. I am trying to look through her personality for how long she will treat me this way. She raised her hand and laid her palm on my chest. At that moment I found myself floating in the air. She s
Chapter Twenty Exactly seven thirty in the morning I went into the office of Lady Brume. I sat near the window of this room and patiently waited for her from time to time. I glance at the windowpane hoping that Lady Brume is coming but then it’s about half an hour of waiting. Lady Brume doesn’t show up to me either and I’m getting tired of sitting. I looked around her place and as I expected, there were a lot of things here that surprised me. Well, it is normal to be surrounded by magical things that happen. But, this place is too ancient, very rare, things that I have never seen from my Grandmother. I spread my fingers and cover my eyes with my one hand. I kept walking and scanned everything around the room. I noticed the bookshelf that is placed beneath this room and I walked forward to the bookshelf, my eyes narrowing when I saw the familiar on a shelf. I would never get wrong, that is like the b
Chapter 21 Supreme witches are the ones who control your powers. The Supreme witches are said to be the living embodiment of magic itself and there are few of them and they do not last solely and be transmitted to the next generation. Supreme are the witches who also have the strength to cure and treat the illness of humankind or even witches like them. A lady with a beautiful face and with red hair is one of the supreme witches and she inherited the power of being one of the Supreme. I look at her from head to toe. I’m trying to know her by staring at her. I knew to myself that I can do it because I belong to the powerful witches and I still believe that this magic lives in me. “Young people are aggressive “.She said. She stares at the girl with blond
Chapter Twenty TwoFinally, I convinced Mia of my plan I will just make sure that no one will notice us if we get outside of Atenowa. I have carefully considered my plans for my first day here in Atenowa. I have learned how to get out to this place without anyone knowing it. I just need to do a magic spell to block our passage in such a way no one will notice us even the supreme witches.“Are you ready Mia?”“Yes.”I waved my hands and gathered the lights coming out of my palms and uttered the Latin word.“Peto, ut interlude rent iter tutum ut sit iter nostrum ut magic rebus induci protest esse prudentia. Peto expletentes ad regimen Lunae Lucem. “
Chapter Twenty Three It’s her second day in Atenowa just like the other she went to the dining area to have breakfast. She has no appetite to taste foods she felt like she just wanted to sneeze all day because it couldn’t still get out of her mind the happening last night. She was not able to see Lucas and not even have a chance to talk with her mother and the name Lazarus that her Aunt Salina uttered last night can’t get out of her mind she wonders who is he? Is he the one trying to do bad things to her? Aside from that Mia closed the passage on the way to the place of mortals, she feels fear despite the magic spell that she made and what if the supreme witches found out that she opens the barrier that protected Atenowa from the evils and enemies. She just shook her head and went out o
