Why what the matter dear?
My face turned green. How could this be?She couldn’t be my grandmother, shed be long gone by now. Who was this woman?
Are you okay? She sounded concerned.
No im not okay. I tried to get up. I seceded but with a lot of pain. Who are you?
Your grandmother. Like I told you. This wasn’t the response I was picturing but I am all the same.
You, you can’t be. It’s just impossible. My grandmother died years ago before I was even born.
Well that’s what my daughter did tell people. Look at where it got her.
My mother. I whispered. Those women she told me my mother was evil. Is that true?
She sighed and sat on the bed. Well you see my dear your mother had a problem, she had just gotten her powers, it was an accident. It was my fault really. I shouldn’t have left her alone.
My mother really did do it; she killed all of her siblings.
Almost all. Danielle was only a baby at the time. What she thinks she remembers is part true, but she’s the one who’s going mad with power now.
No, no this can’t be happening.
What’s the matter?
I, I just can’t take it. What’s going on? Why is this happening to me?
Well where to begin? When you were born you were born with a gift that your mother had I have and everyone else in your family has. When you reach your 18th birthday you will get sort of an upper in your power, you can use it for good or for evil. At that moment you chose.
My daughter believed that you were going to chose evil instead of good. That why she tried to kill you tonight.
And she still believes it?
Yes im afraid so.
She wont stop until she gets me will she.
I
m afraid not.But I wont, I won’t am evil. I cried.
She came over and rapped her arms around me.I know you wont dear. There, there don’t cry. It will be all right.
No, no it won’t. What about my family my friends every one I know. Dan. I struck me. What about Dan.
Who’s Dan?
My boyfriend.
Oh, you’re in love.
Yes deeply. If you are my grandmother, then tell me how to stop this so I can go home to be with Dan.Im afraid you can’t. Doing that would put him endanger just as much as you are.
Then when, when can I go home?
I
m afraid not until Danielle either gives or passes, which is unlikely at this time.I began to cry at the thought of noth seeing Dan. I could go for one of his warm hugs right now.The tears started to flow, as I crashed on the bed, burring my head into my pillow. This is all just a bad dream. I whispered to myself. This isnt happening. Im in my room asleep.
I felt a hand on my shoulder. Please, I understand how hard this is for you, but if you want this to be over, there’s something you have to do.I looked up at her, drying my eyes. What?
Come with me. Ill explains.
We came out of the room to a short hallway that was lit with torches.
What’s with the colonial look?
Danielle can see the glow of electricity, shed is able to find us in two seconds if this was a normal house.We walked a little ways to a door in the hall.I felt a cool breeze as Minnie opened the door.Low and behold the other side of the door was a garden filled with roses. A bench and table filled with lemonade and cookies.I gasped at the beauty.
Beautiful isn’t it? She said.
Very. But how, it looks like it’s just a room.
Magic my dear, everything in this house is magical, the flowers, the water, the house is protected by magic.We sat down at the table.
Why would she come after you?
She wouldn’t…but she knows I have you.
How?
Well landen my …..Well I guess you can call him my guard. There are a lot of people out there who would like to harm me.
I looked around the room, noticing the different patterns in the grass and the clouds shapes; I felt the sense of warmness as I sat with my grandmother.
You feel at home. She answered my wondering thought of my feeling.
You grew up as a baby around magic; it’s been so long since you’ve been exposed to it.
Huh?
Well your mother raised you as a baby differently.
Differently how?
Around magic. Caring you, she would rock the rocker magically. You were exposed to magic at such a young age.
Is that bad?
Well, it can be.
How?
Same way your mother had her accident. She cringed at the word. I didn’t know one of my friends recommended it, that after having six children already that I use magic to take care of her. And I did. Then when I tried to hold her, she wouldn’t let me, she had her powers already for some reason and she made a barrier around her self for weeks and she wouldn’t let me be near her like a normal mother, the only time when I could be near her was when I used magic.
It was horrifying to me, that my own daughter wanted magic more that her mother.So you think that’s what caused the accident?
Yes.
And that why your worried about me?
Yes.
But ive never used magic let alone believed in it. I don’t even know if I believe in it yet.That is true but……. Danielle doesn’t think so. You have to know, she was only three and your mother was only two and to watch your younger sibliling do that to your family, she was scarred for the rest of her life. Then when I died she was scared out of her mind of her sister.
Wow, wow wait a second, when you died?
Yes my dear, im only back for the moment.
So you’re like a ghost?
No. she laughed. I’m just back, im human, I bleed, I cry but im only back until everything is fine again.
But you said she’ll never stop...
I did.
Then how will you stop her?
There’s only one way to stop a determined witch.How?
By taking away her powers.
Can you do that?
Yes, but im hoping it doest have to come to that.I know this is your daughter, my aunt were talking about, but couldn’t you just….kill her?
No, she hasn’t had children yet.
Oh yeah she told me about that. If the witch didn’t have her descendent yet, If you kill her than you’ll be cursed.
Many believe that.
Do you?
No.
Why not.
Because I killed my sister before she had her seventh child.
I gasped at what she told. Has everyone I met today killed someone?
srry bout the qutations, i didnt have time to put them in
