Chapter 8 - Playing Hide and Seek: Part 2
Last Updated:
2021-09-01 22:26:22The following days of November passed for a kind of hide-and-seek between Oliver and me. When I glanced at him, he didn't even bother to look my way, but I always surreptitiously eavesdropped on my classmates talking that Oliver was looking at me more and more with some unreadable expression on his face. At the end of the month, it became one of the hottest rumors in school, and I didn't like it at all. Sometimes I was affected by my mother's psychosis, and that made me not like drawing too much attention to myself. All in all, it was a pretty good defense mechanism since I was a sorceress, and sometimes did things that would seem very strange to others, and to keep doing them safely, I couldn't allow people to follow me around and care too much about what I'm doing, especially after school.
And there were quite a lot of these weird things I did. First of all, on the night of the beginning of each season, my mother and I performed rituals to ensure the favor of the spirits cariRelated chapters
Light & Darkness: Book 3 Chapter 9 - Natural Sciences Competition
The next day, after the unfortunate incident with me, Laura, and Oliver, things got a little awkward in my classroom. Some people stood behind Laura, especially her closest friends, and the rest laughed at her secretly. I tried not to worry about it and reassured Luna that I was completely okay and didn't care. Of course, my words did not fully convince her, because Luna, unfortunately for me, was one of the people with a very sensitive intuition. If something was wrong, it was hard to hide from her, because Luna sensed your emotions as well as I did, even though I could see the auras around everyone and it gave me a lot of advantage.Anyway, that day people forgot everything for a while, because a Natural Sciences Competition was announced. Yes, the natural sciences may not have been my favorite, I liked Literature much more, but as a sorceress I felt everything around me much more intensely, especially nature, therefore such subjects as Geography, Chemistry, Physics and Biolo

Oliver did not return to school until December 10. That day, from the morning, I was looking for an opportunity to talk to him calmly, away from prying eyes. Unfortunately, because we didn't have any lessons together and we were in different classes, there weren't many such opportunities at school. I was only glad that Oliver began to pay attention to other girls and even talked to some of his female classmates. I was hoping that the rumors would fade away a little now, and was grateful that Oliver took our earlier conversation to heart. But I still wanted to talk to him again, ask what was happening, why he did not participate in the final of the competition, and was on leave from school for the second time, despite the fact that the school year has only just begun.However, as mentioned before, meeting Oliver alone at school was not easy. It wasn't until Luna and I left to go home, already losing hope, that I saw Oliver saying goodbye to his classmates and taking a different

Winter passed monotonously and calmly. It was snowing quite a lot, so I skipped the forest trips, and therefore couldn't see Oliver after school. We passed each other in the corridor without a word, although I could feel his eyes on me sometimes, but as he started, then continued to pay attention to other girls as well. As a result, the rumors about me and Oliver died away soon, and then the school began to live with news about other people. Finally, I felt as at ease as before, after a few days at school, when nobody knew me and kept away because of my not-so-friendly image.Christmas and New Year's Eve came quickly, and passed even faster, which made the winter break pass faster than many weekends. I didn't even look back and it was already 2005, and it was time to go to school again. I missed Luna so we talked with each other at practically every break. I was so absorbed in Luna's adventures in the USA, where she went to visit her aunt during the Christmas break, that I didn

For the rest of January, I was ignoring Oliver again, but this time I was doing it on purpose. I felt strange in his presence and knew very well that he didn't want to be just my friend. I could feel it in his aura even as I passed him in the corridor. Oliver had spoken to others, of course, so I could see that he wasn't going to "take revenge" on me for kind of rejecting him.Luna seemed to sense my low mood, so she didn't hassle me unnecessarily and torment with conversations. She was sitting next to me silently and was very uplifting with her mere presence. Although I've known her for some time, I still couldn't get over the fact that Luna could sense someone's emotions so well and adjust her behavior to them. I was really lucky to meet someone so tender and kind on my way.However, the most saddening thing about this whole situation was the fact that, after finishing my lessons and returning home, I could not wander quietly in the woods without fear of meeting Oliver.

With Oliver's letter neatly tucked in my black jeans pocket, I stepped onto the windowsill, then jumped down onto an oak branch to walk over the wall on it, then down another branch, straight to the woods. As soon as my shoes touched the ground, a colder wind blew, so I wrapped my neck better in a grayish wool turtleneck and I run through the forest to get to the place where the fallen tree limb lied down, on which we were sitting when me and Oliver last saw each other alone.Actually, I had no reason to think that, but somewhere in my heart I was afraid that when I got there, then wouldn't find anyone there. All in all, I didn't treat Oliver very well, and I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to play it back, but on the other hand, he didn't seem like that type of person. If he wanted revenge, he had plenty of opportunities at school to humiliate me. Doing this in the middle of the forest, away from the eyes of others would not be a good enough revenge, and besides, this lette

In February, I celebrated Oliver's birthday, both human one and his birth to darkness. It wasn't a big celebration, after all, I couldn't go out in public with Oliver if I wanted to keep our relationship and the fact that he is a vampire a secret from my mother. We met in the woods, in the same place as always, and I gave Oliver my gift - a male silver ring, delicately embellished with cubic zirconia, with our names engraved on the inside. He liked the gift, so hugged me hard and kissed a few times, then even grabbed my waist and turned around with me a couple of times. I wished I could make some cake for him, but in the end he couldn't eat it anyway, so I was glad that I could make him happy in a different way.On March 15, on the other hand, I celebrated my 17th birthday. There was a modest celebration at home, for which Luna and her parents came, as she was my only friend, and after this party, I met Oliver in the woods, who handed me a beautiful box, which when opened turne

Until May 20, 2005, 4 more bodies were found, two of which belonged to students of my high school. Fortunately, it was not anyone in my class, but all students felt the tension anyway, even the always calm Luna. Soon there there was a curfew that started at 9:30 pm and lasted until 5 am, as each victim was attacked between late evening and nighttime, exactly somewhere between 10pm and 2am, so this was considered a sufficient safety measure.My mother, despite the enormous effort, could not find this young werewolf fast enough and I felt that she was slowly losing her patience.- Young, wild werewolves are the worst.- she kept on saying all day.- If we won't find him in the next few days, I'll get help from the Alpha of a nearby pack.- my mother continued, and the fact that she wanted to seek help in such a place meant that was really running out of ideas.My mom disliked the company of werewolves, even those who were stacked in a pack and controlled by Alpha. Yes, the

At first, my mom gave me a lot of scolding for walking in the woods when the werewolf was on the loose, but then also praised me for catching the beast. She wondered how I was able to create vines from aconite at my age, but I only replied that it was Mother Nature who helped me.Then I also helped my mother perform a ritual that swept the werewolf completely off the face of the earth, leaving only ash. I felt a bit sorry for this young rebel, because maybe he could be rehabilitated if some powerful Alpha took him under his wing. But unfortunately my mother was ruthless - she said that any creature that destroys life must be deprived of it itself - that was the punishment of this young werewolf for his crimes. Of course, my mother and I had to create a beast that people could catch, so that the inhabitants of our district would no longer live in fear. We sacrificed one wolf, which we let into the forest, where two days later it got caught in a trap set there by the police. Tele

Light & Darkness: Book 3 ~Epilogue~
My mother came to us at the beginning of March, even before my birthday. She really enjoyed seeing Margareth and me, sincerely apologized to Oliver, but especially Alex won her heart. I had the impression that my son had cast some powerful love spell on his grandmother, because since then, my mother has changed beyond recognition. If mom wanted to reward us for her earlier behavior, she did so more than needed during the first month of her stay with us. Mother even promised to meet with the wizards and sorceress council that took place in the fall, to ask for an exception to be made for relationships like mine and Oliver's or Margareth and Christopher's, that is, relationships connected by true love, which could be easily verified. My mother said that being alone for several months, she had carefully thought through everything and came to the conclusion that our community should be glad if any creature of darkness would love one of the sorceress truly, and we would manage to drag su
Light & Darkness: Book 3 Chapter 25 - Family Reunion
The first month of living with Margareth was a real rediscovery for me with a sister whom I only knew from rumors I had heard. Mom never wanted to talk about her, as if she had really thrown Margareth out not only from family books and photo albums, but also from heart. I was sad just thinking about it, because my older sister was a wonderful person, and the fact that she fell in love with a demon, in my opinion, did not detract anything from her. She told me that Christopher, the demon, loved her too, and left the Underworld, losing his home forever, so much he wanted to stay on the surface, with her. And although Margareth eventually lost him to the mages of Siberia, who were known for their zeal to wipe out demons, she said that had spent a lot of time with him anyway, full of wonderful moments.- I'm wondering about something.- I spoke to her one February afternoon as we sat in the living room watching Alex and sewing the ruffled clothes together.- If you were together for
Light & Darkness: Book 3 Chapter 24 - The Return
On December 20, 2007 we celebrated Alex's 1st birthday. Our son was growing up and he was coping better and better with walking all alone, and when I stayed with him in the meadow behind the house, which I turned into a small garden with time, planting various trees, shrubs and flowers, Alex even tried to run slowly, but still he would often fall over. Of course, his mobility meant that I had to keep my eyes around my head, so that Alex wouldn't go in where he shouldn't be, especially when I was left home alone with him because Oliver was in work.We often received fresh eggs and milk from the neighbors, the Wilson's, the ones that who Oliver worked for, because they had not only fields but also chickens and a cow. Overall, they were nice people, so one weekend I even invited them to our place for dinner. Of course, all three of us - me, Oliver and Alex - had to be a bit careful, but luckily there were no weird incidents that could call into question if we really were normal hu
Light & Darkness: Book 3 Chapter 23 - Unexpected Guest
Christmas and New Years Eve passed me much sadder than usual. I started to think not only about Oliver, but also about my mother, and also Luna, whom I left without a word of explanation. I even thought about calling her, in the end I still had her number and a whole lot of missed calls and unread text messages, but I did not have the courage to call back. I also had no idea what to say to her, how to explain my sudden departure, especially since my mother stayed in Italy. Therefore, for the time being, I decided not to speak to Luna, even though my heart ached at the thought of what kind of pain I probably caused her by leaving without saying goodbye. Especially since it was such a great person. I suspected that Luna probably started her dream studies, in the end she certainly scored enough points to get into the university, so at least I didn't have to worry about that. However, Luna was certainly worried about me.In February 2007, Alex turned two months old and was growing
Light & Darkness: Book 3 Chapter 22 - Lonely Journey
I drove all the way to Venice, where I ran out of fuel. It was only there that I took my bags and the money from the locker Oliver had left for me there and boarded the train. After a few changes and a flight, I finally reached the capital of Great Britain, London. From there, I set off for Colchester in a bus, from where it was close to Flatford, a small hamlet that contained the house Oliver had bought for us. It was close to a wooded area and we were quite a distance from our closest neighbors, which was good for raising a small hybrid of a vampire and a sorceress.When the taxi drove me to the right place, I noticed a black car in the driveway, which meant Oliver had taken care of that as well. After getting out of the taxi, taking my luggage, and paying the old man who left shortly after, I looked inside the car, which was open and the key was in the ignition, and found another gift in the glove box - information for all bank accounts around the world where Oliver had accu
Light & Darkness: Book 3 Chapter 21 - So Close, Yet So Far
That day, August 10, 2006, I was sending Oliver ultrasound pictures, and he was delighted with our baby, even though there was little to see. The pregnancy also appeared to be progressing at a normal pace, although Oliver had learned that a vampire's pregnancy was shorter, but that was in the case where the female vampire was the mother, so for a sorceress who was pregnant with a half-vampire, it could be otherwise. We were also planning my moving out slowly, because Oliver bought a nice house in England, where we could live in peace and wait for the birth of our child, there was a very good hospital in the area, as well as a kindergarten and school.That same day, in the afternoon, I informed my mother that had finally decided to move out.- What? So fast? I thought that since you've been sitting for so long, you will at least wait for the results of your exams.- my mother said, clearly dissatisfied with the news.- Mom, you knew very well that it would come to this
Light & Darkness: Book 3 Chapter 20 - Ritual and Shocking News
On the night of July 10 to 11, specifically at 11:30 am, my rite of passage began. Every young sorceress and wizard who turned 18 had to go through it. This ritual made you an official member of the magic community, and your power was fully released, giving you much more opportunities than before. The mother prepared a magic potion for her child that was to help with waking up the power completely, then the child had to lie down in a circle drawn or made of herbs and chant the spell with a mother until the power was released in the form of the white light surrounding the child.My mother and I made a circle of herbs in the garden, on an evenly cut lawn, then I drank the potion prepared by my mother and lied down in the center of the circle. Then we both started uttering a spell, during which my mother walked around me, sprinkling with a special powder, which was to additionally ensure the success of the ritual. You need to know that sometimes the ritual could fail, but only if
Light & Darkness: Book 3 Chapter 19 - One Night That Could Cost Life
When I landed on the bed, Oliver had took off his black shirt completely, while I removed my hoodie and t-shirt, both with a motif of rose wrapped in a wreath of thorns. Then Oliver leaned over me, starting to place gentle kisses on my abdomen and belly, his lips moving slowly upward. With hands, he efficiently unbuttoned my bra, and just in time, as his lips began to caress my breasts alternately. My body was engulfed in fire as I felt his caress, and I ran my hands over his back and torso as well, then weaving my fingers through his hair to pull him slightly upwards as I wanted to taste his lips again.Oliver moved up as I wished, but on the way he literally sucked his lips into the skin on my cleavage and neck, leaving red marks. I moaned with pleasure as he marked me, then my moan was muffled by his lips that jammed into mine, and tongue that began to play inside my mouth. Already from that my heart sped up and so did my breath. My hands slid over his neck and my nails dug
Light & Darkness: Book 3 Chapter 18 - Eighteenth Birthday
Only a week after our conversation, Oliver disappeared, and as we agreed, he didn't tell me exactly where was going to stop. I missed him terribly for the rest of February, and each day was like a year. It wasn't until March 15, 2006, my eighteenth birthday, that I breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, that day itself did not pass in any particular way than the previous birthdays, because only Luna and her parents showed up at the modest party in our house, but my thoughts were already at the ritual. I was looking forward to becoming a fully sorceress and my power would be completely released so that I could start my life on my own.Of course, just before my birthday, I had to study the magical books even more closely and take some of my mom's "magic exams", but luckily I passed them flawlessly thanks to the motivation I had in mind that I would be joining with Oliver soon. This thought was the only one that drove me to learn and act, so that I could start the ritual as soon as
