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
Chapter Twenty Four After the class, I straight forward to the office of Lady Brume. I had been waiting for almost half an hour in the outside of her office. I can’t go inside yet because I heard that the superior witches have an important to discuss. My legs are tiring of standing up. I saw a small stones, and I played with them. I floated then in the air with the use of my magic powers. I let them moving around as if I am playing a juggle. Almost all the girls of the Atenowa are looking back at me, others don’t care about it. But Lilith, one of my rival she too affected in everything that I am doing since the day I came here. She took a glance at me and raised her eyebrows with skeptical looks, wondering why I am standing in the office of Lady Brume. I just smiled and continue playing
Chapter Twenty Five Willow was lying on the floor and almost lost consciousness because of the force of throwing him by my power. I came closer to see if he was alright after all; I don’t want to get him hurt. When I found he was in good condition and still alive, I walked away from him. I feel the powerful element that stops me from moving. Suddenly, my feet were stiff and I couldn’t step it freeze like an ice. Until my body gets numb. I flicked my fingers to move and to get away to this place, but it was too late. Willow was in front of me looking too furious. He would pull out his palms and suddenly a light came out from his palms, just like I have. But before Willow throws the ball of lights to my face, Lady Brume stops him. “Enough Wil
Chapter Twenty Six Time flies too fast. It’s almost three weeks since the day I came here to Atenowa with Mia, a lot of things that I wanted to know, those secrets that they are hiding with me. I didn’t know but; I feel there is something that I need to know. As me as a witch and as being a person. Sometimes I felt that there was a magic power living inside of me. The lights coming from my palm is one of the proof that there is something more about my power, that I need to find out. Just as like that I used to do every morning, I attend the class after I had my breakfast together with the other students of Atenowa, the witches, just like me. As I walk along the hallway of the University, I have noticed there are crows and owls flying everywhere. I wonder what they are doing here inside the Atenowa. I may guess that it could be one o
Chapter Twenty-Seven His shiny eyes just stared at me as if he were a reflection that penetrated my eyesight. He differs from the other blackbirds. I know what they called this a Raven. I secretly smiled because I knew for myself that he was a special blackbird. More clever, quick and unique to crawls and owls. I rubbed his feathers to make him even more meek and, as Willow says, we need to step on our blackbirds and let them know we are their master. We were back in our place with our blackbirds. As I said, these blackbirds are one of the ingredients to learn about magic and one of that is the bird language and Willow is our Professor to learn about bird language. Willow is a wizard. He has a lot of special ability, and there’s no doubt that he can guide as very well.
Chapter Twenty Eight I straight forward to my room and look for Mia. As I opened the door, Mia was standing beside the window and her eyes glared at the outside of Atenowa. I had a feeling that she already knew what was happening with Lucas. “Mia?” She takes a glance at me and her eyes are dull and I can feel her fears enveloping in her body. “Don’t look at me like that.” I said to her, “What is your plan?” “You already know?” She just nodded at me and looked back outside of Atenowa. Mia is my guardian and my other half, but for some reason there are times I can’t read her mind,
Chapter Twenty – Nine A distinct scent of Lucas’ blood gives me a desperate feeling. I could smell it. A scent that makes me hunger. It’s like a flesh that I need to taste. Why? Why did I feel this way? But no, I need to save him. Amherst is too powerful. He throws Trisha beneath this room and he blocks my power. I just stared at Lucas and I could see the blood running from his forehead and to his neck that I can smell. I just close my eyes and I don’t want to see Lucas how bloody he was. And this feeling I felt I couldn’t understand. Why I am so desperate to taste his blood, too
Chapter Thirty“What is happening? “I asked Orenda and Willow. But, they didn’t answer me and we quickly left the room. I had no idea where we were going? All that I could see was darkness and the only light to us was Willow's palm that released fire. And I just noticed that we were in a big old mansion. Perhaps, this mansion was a decade ago because of its old style and some walls are broken and the paints have faded, adding the webs that we met at our destination.I don’t have any idea where we are, but one thing for sure is that we are not in Atenowa or the place of Huesca. I kept on walking and followed Orenda and Willow without any word to say. They are
Chapter Thirty One Thana has never seen a beauty like this before. She was magnified by its looks, her alluring beauty that everyone will captivate. Her white skin like snow makes her look more appealing to look at back. She held Thana’s hands to help her stand on her feet. She just stared into her emerald eyes without any word coming out of her lips. Their eyes spoke to each other; it was like a magic spell that suddenly she could sense in her inner soul. There's a magical power that binds with them. She could sense it. It’s like thunder running through the deepest of her soul. Thana slowly stood by her seat and just kept staring into the eyes of the beautiful creature that suddenly appeared in front of her. Dumbfounded and curiosity draws in her face, asking herself who was this beautiful lady? Her tears kept flowing as she rememb
Chapter Fifty “Lilith, daughter of Edora? My Father’s Mistress.” His laughter sounds like a devil howling into the entire forest.“Don’t you want to give a hug to your sister?” Lilith chuckles and gives him a wink.“I’m hunting Thana, my most precious half sister… I needed her more than you.”“It would be nice that you meet all your sisters? Oh! Well, I don’t consider Thana as my sister. She’s an enemy in my eyes. Because of her, my life is in doomed.”Thana couldn’t believe what she heard. Is it true that Lilith is her half sister and Vladimir trying to persuade her is her brother too? She asks herself with confusion and listening to the conversation between Lilith and Vladimir. Lilith raises her eyebrow and puts her hands on her waist, showing her disgust with Vladimir. “I can help you and let Thana out in her shell.” “Amazing… Show what you got, my dear sister. Let Thana come out, and we will reunite and meet our father.” Lilith gets the bottle in her pocket with a red
Chapter Forty-Nine “Thana, is that you?” Allegra, dazed when she saw Thana in her different appearance. She couldn’t believe that she would turn into a beautiful witch, her eyes blazing like a fire when she stares. Her golden brown hair with a shade of purple makes her astounded. “Yes, it’s me, Mother.” She giggle and embraces her mother tight and a bead of tears drops on her cheek.“You are beautiful.”She looks at her daughter with proud. Thana is a descendant of witches that has special abilities. Yet, there’s a fear in her heart that maybe one of these days she needs to fight with her father, who is Lazarus the dark, evil king.“I am the new born Thana, mother.”She just nodded and touches Thana’s face.Thana grown enough. She learned a lot in Atenowa that sometimes she can’t stop blaming herself. She just afraid that Thana cannot control her power that can create damage. “Mother, don’t be afraid. I am your blood runs into my vein just as like grand mother said. I am d
Chapter Forty-Eight Mia saw the powerful magic that entered Thana’s presence, her Raven that connects to her soul, providing a stronger element of power as a witch. Only the chosen one can hold a Raven like she has. She can communicate with a blackbird. Thana has an extraordinary power no one can have. Thana is chosen. She’s one of the powerful witches of the kin. Mia moves closer to Thana and held her hands that makes her surprise. “Mia?” Mia moves closer to Thana and held her hands. “Stand up. What did you see?” “I see danger…they are using Lucas against me Mia.” “Don’t be afraid. I’m with you.” I grab Mia’s hand and stand to my feet. It’s surprise me I can hold Mia now. “Mia, I can touch you.” Mia just nodded at me and a smile draw on her lips. “Yes. Thana is no longer the same.” “What do you mean?” “You are more powerful than you know.” I am?” “Yes. You are a newborn, Thana. Your magic is more powerful than before. You need to know.” “But, I can’t understand.” “C
Chapter Forty Seven My knees trembling as I landed in front of Lucas’ house. It gives me a panic attack from the moment I touch the ground, a size of electricity running to my nerves. I didn’t know why? What is this kind of feeling? My body temperature gets higher and my heart pounding that I could hear my chest beating so loud. Is it just an excitement? A happy feeling? For a long time, I will see Lucas. His eyes that captivates me every time I look at him. His annoying attitude and body gesture that I missed a lot. I just smiles at myself as admitted to myself that I longing to that jerk.I wrap my arms around my body and glances around the place.“We are here.” Mia stated. She notices I feel uneasy. She feels what I feel. She can read my mind at once. No wonder that she is my other half, my guardian.“Yes.” I nodded and straightforward to the entrance gate,“Are you nervous?” Mia asked me a silly question. I just smiled at her and never say a word. I know she knows I am. If th
Chapter Forty – Six “Tell me who is Lazarus?” Thana asks to her mother.“He’s dangerous. You should avoid him.”“I always heard his name from the day I went to Atenowa.”Allegra avoiding eye contact with Thana and turns her gaze to Salina, who was observing. She walks toward the window and observes the silence on the outside.“Tell me, mother, what is the connection of Lazarus in our life? To me?”She had just put her hands over his mouth to hide her cries. She could not even admit to Thana what her relationship with him was, what his part about her life as an individual.“Nothing… “her voice crackle as she says a word. She will do everything to hide Lazarus’ identity. She won’t let Thana know he is a part of her life. “Then why I need to avoid him?”“He is dangerous. I want to protect you from him… that’s all.”“Is he the reason grandmother laying now in lifeless?”“She protects me from Lazarus. I feel guilty about everything right now because of me. She fought to Lazarus and lock
Chapter Forty-Five “Mother? What happens to your magic?”Thana shakes her head in disbelief. Her eyes narrow and raised her one eyebrow. She couldn’t understand how it was happening? Allegra, who was crying, burst into tears just stares Thana. She didn’t know how to explain to her, thinking if it was the right time to let her know the secret. She was afraid to reveal Thana’s true identity. How could she explain she was falling in love with a dark evil creature and the reason she losses her magic? How could she could explain to Thana that she is one of them?“My magic was gone.”Her world seemed to disappear when she heard those words from her mother.“Tell me it’s not true.”Allegra just shakes her head and a river of tears flows from her eyes.“I’m sorry… I don’t want you all to suffer because of me.”“No. It couldn’t be true.”She steps backward and stays away from her mother. Everything that her mother had was gone.She grabs Thana’s hand to let her stay. She needs to be brave in
Chapter Forty – Four The Paradise place of Atenowa lost in my eyesight. The world that I lived in disappeared. No more tricks, colorful lights that flickered at night every time I look outside of Atenowa. No more morning errands and no Lady Brume that always gives me a sharp look every time i didn’t follow her. Another thing that I will miss about was Lilith, who always gives me a reason to fight back with her. Many say that she was my rival.My heart filled with sadness thinking that I could never back again to the place where I learned a lot about the magic and power that I have now.I have a strange feeling in my heart and my heart beats like a drum as my feet clung to the place of Atenowa.The laughter of the echoes in my heart brings a certain smile to my lips when I feel the familiar scent of the blast that touches my skin. The ordinary sounds of gasping of the laves gives glow to my facet and I am home. Standing in the front of our house staring at the place that I’ve missed
Chapter Forty Three The blood in Lilith’s wrist drops gives an eerie sound to Thana. Her eyes widen in excitement as she sees the blood in Lilith’s wrist, its distinct smells that make her thirsty of the blood. She couldn’t explain what was happening to her. She felt this way before when Lucas’ neck cut by Vladimir. It looks like the blood calling her to taste it and wants to have her lips stroked at Lilith’s wrist.She grabs Lilith’s wrist and stared for so long. The blood flowing through Lilith's wrist seems to glow into her eyes.“Can you help me? I am hurt.” Lilith hides her demon smile beneath the curves of her lips. Lilith knows Thana will show her real identity.She just stared at Lilith and gulp. She wants to taste the blood, but she stills controlling herself, feeling anxious about what is happening to her. Why she feels this way? What is the secret of the blood that gives a lucid aroma in her nostril?“Your blood…. looks tasteful.”“Taste
Chapter Forty-TwoThe news spread all over Atenowa about the coming back home of Thana in the place of mortals in Huesca. Everyone was gossiping about her. They are like bees that whispering in every corner of Atenowa University. They will just keep silence if the Supreme Witches forbidding them to tackle and talk about Thana.Lily, who was her rival, keeps on listening to the news of Thana’s returning home. Her smile draws on her red lips and there’s a moment she can’t hide her excitement knowing that Thana will never be, no longer staying in Atenowa. She will be the most powerful witch at Atenowa University. Her magic powers will be dominant again and unique to the others.She heard the voice of someone grasping the leaves.“Lily, go to the cave.” Said by the voice she heard.She walks toward her way out in the University of the Atenowa and led the grassy place and takes a step going to the cave. It
