All the magic is inside me again.
I can feel it everywhere. The magic is flowing through my veins. It's radiating through my pores and I feel this intense power take over me.I feel more powerful than I ever did before. This can't be good. This is bad, this is really bad. I can't lose control again.I rush downstairs back to the kitchen to try and find my phone. When I reach downstairs, there's a gust of wind and my mom appears.She must have used teleportation to get back home from the academy.She notices me and there's a worried experience plastered on her face."You look like you've seen a ghost Layla. Everything okay?" She asks."Mom. The box. It wasn't my fault. It happened so fast. The box.." I'm shaking and I feel my cheeks get wet from the tears already escaping through my eyes.My mom rushes over to me and wraps her arms around me covering me in an embrace. She put her hand on the back of my head and gently rubs my head."shh, it's okay. Take a deep breath and try to explain to me exactly what happened okay?" She says trying to comfort me.My eyes are burning from the salty tears and my head is spinning in panic but I try to calm down and explain everything to her.I tell her about last night. I tell her about the mirror and the eyes and the forest and the girl who looked just like me. I tell her I couldn't control my body. I try to convince her it wasn't my fault. I tell her about the safe and the box unlocking when only she knew the combination and the spell to disarm the box. I tell her everything."Where's the box?" She asks, determination in her tone. "We have to put it back this instant." She says."All of it." I say sternly. "We're putting all the magic in the putting the box and locking it away.""But, if we do that you won't have any powers anymore. You'll be... mortal." She says with worry in her tone."I don't care.""Layla..." She tries to object."Mom, you don't understand. It's different this time. It's stronger. I can feel it." I explain to her.She's standing with a shocked expression on her face. She looks like she zoned out completely and her mind is somewhere else.She rushes upstairs to get the box and in a few seconds she's down again, the box in her hands.As soon as she brings the box close to me, I focus on it and make the box explode into a million pieces."I'll find another box." My mom exclaims and she tries rush upstairs."'No." I say.I feel different now. Calm."No? Layla, what are you talking about. We have to get you under control or...""I am under control mom." I cut her off before she can finish her sentence."I'm fine." I tell her."Are you okay Layla?" She looks worried."Seconds ago you wanted to get rid of the magic and now you're acting as calm as ever." She objects"But I'm fine now. Everything is fine." I tell her and before she can object anymore, I head over to the kitchen counter and grab my phone."I have to text Kali." I tell her and escape to my room, leaving her downstairs with a confused, paranoid look on her face.I get into my room and lock the door behind me.I don't know what just happened, but I feel different about myself. I feel strong, confident, powerful.I feel good in a way I've never felt before.I don't know if it's because of the magic I just absorbed, but one second I was crying about how scared I was of it and now I feel safe with it inside me. I feel like the magic has to stay with me. I feel like I need to protect myself and the magic from anyone who tries to take it away from me.Me : I have something to tell you.Kali : What's that?Me : Meet me at the ice cream shop in 10?Kali : It's not 1p.m yet, but okay.Me : See ya. xoxoI put on my clothes and rush downstairs. My mom is still standing in the spot I left her.What is wrong with her? I know I made her worry but I'm really okay now."Mom, you have to relax." I speak and she's startled by my voice."Are you going out?" She asks in a low tone."Yeah, Kali and I are getting icecream." I answer.I walk over to her and hold her hands."Look at me mom. It's me. I'm fine.""We can't just ignore everything that happened. The dream? Your eyes turning dark?" She explains"Maybe it was just a sign that I needed my magic back." I say to her."The magic that you can't control." She objects."It's been years mom, plus I'm older now and you've put me through every control training I could ever need. I can do this. There's nothing to worry about."I try to convince her."Layla. Do you need me to remind you that the dark magic you now possess is magnified? The older you get, the stronger your magic becomes. You've been able to keep it under control all this time because you weren't at full strength and you only had half of your powers. What if you lose control again?""I won't lose control. I've got this." I say to her and give her a kiss on the cheek before she can say anything else and make my way towards the front door."Layla?" She calls from behind me and I spin around in my tracks to hear what she has to say."When you get back, meet me in my room. There's something I want to tell you." She says seriously."Sure mom.." I nod and head out of the house.I can't wait to see Kali. I'm going to tell him everything."You just couldn't wait to see me huh?" Kali implores. "I miss you. Plus I have a lot to tell you." I state. "Come on, let's find a place to sit and you can tell me everything." He places his hands on my waist and leads me into the ice cream shop. We find a booth at the far end of the shop and cast a spell that allows no one to over hear whatever conversation we might have. A waitress brings chocolate ice cream flavor for me and strawberry for Kali. I waste no time to start digging into mine. I can't remember the last time I had ice cream and this tastes so good I think I'm going to have an orgasm. "Slow down or you'll have brain freeze." Kali mumbles. "It's so good." I moan"Kali, what do you know about black magic?" I implore, curious about what he has to say before telling him my big secret. "Well black magic has traditionally referred to the use of supernatural powers or magic for evil and selfish pu
"Your dad died because of black magic." Those words leave her mouth and I can't believe my ears.What is she saying? She told me my dad died in a car accident when I was two years old? What is all this nonsense about black magic being the reason he died? Is she just making this up because I got my powers back? Is she that scared of me that she would stoop to making up stories? "Mom, what are you talking about? Dad died in a car accident when I was two remember?" "No, he didn't. Your dad like you was born with black magic. And he lost his life because of it. The magic consumed him Layla. It completely turned him into a different person. A person I could hardly recognize as my own husband." She explains. "You're lying!" I scream and the lights in her room start flickering. "It's the truth Layla. I'm sorry, but that's the truth. That's why I'm worried about you. I already lost one person to black magic. I'm not ready to lose another." She says. "I
"I'm sorry too." She says while hugging me. "I should have never slapped you Layla. You're the last person in this world I'd ever want to hurt. Please forgive me." She says in between sobs. "It's okay mom. I'm sorry too. I was rude. I shouldn't have blamed you for what happened to dad." I apologize. "Your dad was a good person." She says while holding my face in her palms. "And he loved you so much, you have no idea." I don't know what to say to her so I just nod. "I have to shower and take a nap. I'm exhausted." I tell her and escape to my room. When I get in, I lock the door behind me and fall to my knees with my back to the wall, and I just let the tears fall. I don't know how long I cried for but I fell asleep on the floor. When I wake up, it's 2a.m. I change out of my clothes and put on my pyjamas and fall to my back in bed. I hurt all over, my head is aching, my eyes are swollen from crying and my feet
I head downstairs and see my mom making breakfast. The kitchen smells of bacon, eggs and toast. I walk over to my mom and place a kiss on her cheek. She offers me a warm smile and engulfs me in an embrace. "Good morning honey.." She says "Did you sleep okay?" "The night was terrible and I'm still very tired but oh well.." I tell her with a shrug and a light grin. "You look different today. And your hair, how did you manage to get your hair like that."She asks knowing that I've never been good at styling my hair and I spin around showing off my new outfit and hair. "Magic mom, magic." I simply answer. "Magic?" She asks with a raise of her brow. "Yep." I say nodding my head like a toddler. "Since when do you use your powers for anything other than the assignments the academy gives you?" She implores curiously. "Since I discovered how beautiful being a witch is, since I discovered what I've been missing out
Holidays are over and we're starting once more with our normal human curriculum, having witch lessons now only during the weekends.It's going to be even more stressful because not only do I have to get good grades at geometry, I also have to worry about the sacred geometry we study for the witchy curriculum. Double work. I sigh in bed as I stare at the ceiling. During the rest of the holiday Kali and my mom helped me a whole lot, training me to keep my dark magic concealed and not let it take over me. I almost lost control one time when we were practicing a fire enhancing spell. My mom, as usual got paranoid and proposed we try and keep the black magic locked away in another box. But we all know how that went down last time. As much as I'm in control now, I still feel this great desire to keep the magic with me, to protect it from anyone who would want to take it away. She was able to do a cloaking spell on me though. She said it's r
The teacher is explaining something about Lewis structures when I feel someone poke my arm. What does he want now? I decide to ignore him not wanting the teacher to catch us both and give us detention. "Pssstt, Layla.." He says as he keeps poking my arm. I snap my head around and give him a pissed look. "Can you be quiet?" He sticks out his lower lip and pouts at me giving me puppy dog eyes. What is is problem? I stare at him and spin my head back around. He stops bugging me for a few seconds when I feel a piece of paper appear in my hands. We're not supposed to use magic during our human courses. Is he crazy?? I smoothen open the crumpled piece of paper curious to see what's it in. "You're beautiful and you're distracting me Layla.." I smile at the note and hide it carefully so the teacher doesn't see me being distracted. The door opens up and the principal walks in with a boy I've never seen
~~Eren's POV~~I have to go to a new school now because of what happened. Mom and dad think it should be a witch academy so we move to the closest city with one. They want us to stay under the radar for a while. The principal leads me into classroom with a few students in it. "Everyone, this is Eren Crow. He just moved here from a different city with his parents after a tragedy befell their coven. Him and his family are the only surviving members and they moved here. He's a new student at the academy now and him and his family will be assigned to one of our covens soon enough. Please everyone, make him feel at home.." He introduces me and exits the classroom. I walk over to the first empty seat I find and make myself comfortable. As soon as I take a seat, I feel her and I snap my head in hear direction. Black magic. I see her staring at me already and I quickly look away. What is a girl with black magic d
"Did you hear about the new student that transferred to our school mom?" Mom and I are having dinner and she made my favorite. I love this woman. "Oh yes I did, Eren Crow right? What an awful thing that happened to their coven. The poor thing.." My mom says with a sad shake of her head. "You don't think something is not adding up? Witch hunters haven't been heard of in a while, and they never leave survivors. They're not careless like that, so why are they alive?" I ask my mom while playing with my food. "Maybe they just got lucky.. Witch hunters haven't been heard for a while, yes, but there are still a few lurking around.." "But still, we should investigate them. Make sure we can trust them first.. " I defend "Layla, they just lost their coven. They're devastated right now. Plus if something was off, I would have felt it by now." My mom adds."Would you have? When I was close to him, I couldn't literally fee
"I think I'm going to dye my hair white..." I say to Kali as I take my physics text book out of my locker. Physics is the first class we have today with Professor Philips. He's scary and I hate physics, makes me think too much. I always thought it was cool how his name rhymed with Physics though."Not that I wouldn't like it, I think you'll rock white hair. But any particular reason?" He asks while playing with a strand of my hair. "Not really.. I just thought of it now and I can't stop thinking about how hot I'll look with white hair. I'm going to cut it short too, shoulder length..." "Pretty ironic if you ask me.." Kali says with a smirk. "A witch with black magic having white hair. Kinda ruins the whole aesthetic don't you think.." He chuckles playfully. "Shut up.." I say nudging his arm playfully. "And don't say that out loud. Someone might hear you!" "Someone might hear what?" A voice says from behind me and I turn
