Chapter 8
We walk towards the inside the campus of the St. Claire Academy just like we always do every morning before attending the class we spending a half-hour in front of the campus library, sitting on the long chair were in a maple tree standing beside it. Mandy has always a pack of breakfast for the three of us that her mother prepared.
My eyes are looking for Liam because I want to know if the love magic spell that Aunt Salina did will work.
I said goodbye to them for a while to call Mia because I needed her help. I went to a parking lot and I whisper Mia's name.
I call Mia many times, but after minutes of waiting, Mia doesn't show to me. I wonder what happen to her. I decided to go back where Mia and Andy was, I have fifteen minutes to find Liam.
It took me surprise when I see Liam is talking to Mandy right now and Mia is on their side. Crazy Mia, she makes me feel worried actually. I raise my eyebrow at her and suddenly she comes over me.
"I never know you are here, I call you many times."
"It would be nice that I help you to solve your mission now?"
"Yeah, I thank you." I glance at her and walks back to Mandy and Andy. "
" What I have missed? I asked of them.
"Oh, my god Thana, you never believe this…."
"What?" Mandy is still in the clouds while saying those words to me.
"Liam asked me to be his date for the Prom." Mandy's smile can't be faded on her lips.
"Oh, great I am so happy for you."
"I'm sorry. Mandy, Thana…but I don't believe that guy. Is he really serious?"
Mandy just stared at Andy and took her belongings and pulled me away from him.
"Hey, I'm just saying that…. He is just…
" Shut up Andy!!!" Mandy shouted Andy.
Mandy and I walked quickly away from him. We went to the locker room to get some books that we needed for our class.
Just like the day before Victoria is still ruining Mandy's life, we just pass on them and ignored everything that they said. This is like ordinary school days. I am so thankful that right now my life is peaceful and live like a normal teenager's life.
On our way back to our room, I bumped again to Lucas just like as he did before he just looks at me and smiled then said nothing. Mandy helps me to pick up all the books that throw on the ground.
"That guy is so arrogant, he made me this to me twice."
"Hmm… Really?
" Do you want me to teach him a lesson? "
" No, it's okay. " I just look at Lucas walking away from the crowd of students.
" No, it's not. " Mandy looks at me so weird. I wonder what she is thinking now.
" Don't worry, I have an idea."
We took again a long exam, all professors give an exam before the weekend and other than that the school and all of the students of the St. Claire Academy will be busy in preparation for the Prom.
It will not too hard for me to answer my exams, I was being fair to the others and I study my lessons and luckily I will pass my exams without the help of my magic.
After the exam, Mandy invited me to join her and together with us is Andy. I don't have any idea where she will take us, she never told so we just walk along the street and she's busy reading Liam's messages. She's head over heels to Liam that I am afraid of, Andy gets tired of walking and stops for a while.
"Mandy, I'm tired… Can you please tell us where are we going?"
Mandy just smiled at Andy to further annoy him.
"Ask Thana."
"What? Why me? As I confessed to Mandy.
" Tomorrow is a night Prom, so we will go to your house and make it over. " Mandy smiled in her crazy face.
" I agreed with her, and I ask your mom for permission to be my date for the Prom. " Andy said seriously.
I just breathe heavily there is nothing I could do now our house is just two blocks away, so this is the place,n Mandy, to my surprise, even though I have never let other people into our house.
What will my grandmother and mother say? Aunt Salina will not be a problem, she will understand me.
I hope Mandy and Andy were not scared my Grandmother and mother's stares were sharp on them, while Aunt Salina greeted them happily. Craft comes over me and jumps over to Andy. I guess she likes Andy.
After we had a meal that my mother prepared for us, we went to my bedroom and Andy is enjoying playing with Craft.
Mandy looks around in my bedroom and she opens my closet, she suddenly pulled me and made me sit in front of the mirror.
"What will you do? I asked her.
" Hmm. A makeover. " She slightly brought her face closer to my cheek and smiled in front of the mirror.
Mandy pulls the tie off my hair and brushes it, she handed a scissors and to my surprise, Mandy cut my long hair that I took care of for many years
" What did you do? " I shout at her that startle me from cutting off my hair.
"Oh, I'm cutting your hair you need a total makeover."
"No, I don't need this." I stand in my seat and walk away from her.
"You need that, common….believe me, I am your friend."
I sit back and there is nothing I can do now, Mandy cut my hair. It is short to shoulder length, she dyes my hair too with a blonde colour different from the natural colour of my hair, she also fixed my eyebrow and put a nail polished.
Andy just stared at us and seemed bored with what we were doing maybe, he gets tired of playing with Craft.
After a long hour of Mandy's making a makeover with me, she brings me to the front of the mirror to look at my reflection.
I was too amazed by what I saw, I can't believe that the girl in the mirror is me, to my great delight I hugged her tightly.
Even, Andy looks so amazed with me when he sees me in my new look.
"See, I told you… You will love it."
I smiled at her and glance again at the mirror.
"Oh. Mirror. Mirror on the wall who is the girl looks so beautiful." Mandy said and we both laugh aloud.
Andy just keeps silent, I can see in his eyes that he is too bored. Mandy came into my closet and rummaged by my clothes.
"Oh, look at this Thana… This is too beautiful, for you." Mandy found my one long purple dress half sleeves, a sheet with elegant embroidery on it.
"You will look beautiful tomorrow night." Mandy smiled and she tries to fit my dress for me.
"Oh, not just me… You should look too beautiful, too and Liam is your Prom date."
She almost tore her face in a smile when she heard Liam's name.
We went out of my room and went to the living room where my mother stood up with astonishment when she sees my new look.
Aunt Salina was amazed too by me in changed by my appearance.
"Oh, Thana is that you?"
"Yes, Aunt Salina.."
"Mandy you are too gifted… How you do that?"
Aunt Salina was almost amazed at Mandy.
"Well, I did nothing, I just makeover Thana. She's beautiful in many ways,
Mandy smiled when she says these words to Aunt Salina.
My mother just stared at me and there's a moment she glanced to Mandy and then to Andy.
" We have a night Prom tomorrow night and Andy is my date." I bluntly say to my mother and my Aunt Salina.
"A date?" My mother almost screamed from what she heard.
I am hoping that I can attend the Prom. Being a witch is not too helpful at all times.
Chapter Nine My mother allows me to attend the Prom with the help of Mandy, and Aunt Salina to convince her. Andy was kneeling on begging my mother to be my date. See how to be stiff of being a witch sometimes. Exactly seven-thirty in the evening Andy picked me up, we wanted to come in at Mandy's home, but she said she would pick up Liam. I am happy for her that her dream of being with Liam for tonight has come true. I'm just thinking what if the love magic spell lost its power of magic, I don't want to get Mandy hurt. When we arrived at the hall, there were already quite a few students coming. Mandy waves to us when she sees me and Andy coming, she's standing beside Liam and her hand is wrapped around Liam's arms. I hold Andy's
Chapter Ten The sunshine almost entered my room when I woke up, I yawned and stretched before getting up from my bed. I heard my mother calling me to have breakfast. It's Saturday, we are all dined together for breakfast and one thing that I don't like most is that today is the day of my training. I went to my bathroom to wash and change my sleepy dress. I hurriedly go down and went to the dining table My Grandmother, my mother and Aunt Salina sitting down in front of the table. I sat down at my place and greeted them. "Oh, there you are?" My mother greeted me. "Good Morning
Chapter Eleven I couldn't believe that I can fly like a bird, I should believe in myself that I can do everything, I should believe in my magic. After I learned about how to fly my Grandmother taught me another magic trick to be invisible. She says it is the most important magic trick that I should learn to protect from the dark evil and enemies that we never know. But, right now, I enjoy much of being a normal teenager's life, but then I am obliged to do some witchcraft because I am one of them. I belong to the world of witches. It was already midnight when I took a look at my window. I pulled back the curtain from my window and peeked outside of our house. Craft jumps over me and she seems afraid when I open the window of my room. "Why? What is the matter with you?"

Chapter Thirteen I still can't believe from what I have found out between Mandy and Liam, when will the magic love spells will last? I remember my Aunt Salina said to me it will be last if they feel love for each other is that true love? I just sighed and looked out of nowhere. It never seemed to cross my mind what our professor was teaching in the chemistry subject and I never saw Mandy attend the class. After the class Andy and I headed to the principal's office, we both didn't have any idea why the principal wanted to talk with us. We knocked three times before entering the office. Slowly we went inside with heads bowed fearing that we had done something wrong. "Andy, Thana takes a seat." We looked up when we hear
Chapter Fourteen Andy and I are patiently waiting in the Principal's office. It's our first day to help and tutor lessons with Lucas and Selena. This is how special they are, we need to wait for them for an hour. I want to use my magic to stop the clock so that I can no longer meet Lucas today. Finally, the door opens and I see Lucas and Selena enter the Principal's office. He smiles at me when he sees me seated on the right side of this room next to Andy. How does he feel close to me? It started on the night of the Prom when he danced with me. After that night I feel Lucas wants to be close to me, but, no, it will never happen and, other than that I can't stare at him for so long. "Good morning everyone." Mrs. Gray greet
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 t
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 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
