Final Chapter The Dark Mage didn't even look like he broke a sweat and I was already breathing hard. I searched my brain for any tricks Theodore had taught me and I didn't use. Nothing was coming into my mind. "You've had your fun little one" the Mage said with a sheer "Now it's time I had mine." The mage raised two arms, gathering dark evil power. I looked into his face which had contorted, leaving a pale evil mask. The whites of his eyes were completely black now. He looked like a demon. Everything moved in slow motion when he released the dark power and pushed to me. I put up a shield in record time but the black wave was beginning to eat up, the flimsy shield I put up to protect myself. He focused his attention hitting and hitting. I don't know if I could hold on much longer. The shield shattered like glass around me, his dark power reached for me with cold hands and I was helpless to stop him. The defenses I had set up in my mind were already Shattered I could feel him prying

Chapter one The cold bit into my skin through the extra-large fur coat. It was usually very cold especially in this part of the country especially up north here in Aroostook but today’up freezing temperatures seemed out of the ordinary. To be very honest, the few days following my seventeenth birthday have seemed pretty out of the ordinary to me.On Monday I woke up in what appeared to me to be an after math of a bath in a cold pool of water. All of my clothes were drenched down to my underwear. I expected my bed to be just as wet so I’d know that it was an after birthday prank that Cole, my little brother, tried to pull. Emphasis on tried . That piece of furniture however was very much dry.Tuesday, things got even creepier. The crows on the tree outside my window kept me up the entire night like some form of nocturnal music concert with the occasional hoot from owls. No matter how tight I cushioned my ears. Their dark music still penetrated.Wednesday I think has been my worst so f
Chapter 2I didn’t remember the exact time I started to sleep last night but when the shrill sound of my alarm went off and I bumped my head on the door, I knew that I stayed there with the intention of keeping watch. Some watch I am. I rubbed the dull ache and the back of my head as feeling returned to my body. It aches all over and my butt was very sore, not to mention how freezing it was up here my room. Did I leave my window open again? I never learn do I?I had made up my mind before I dozed off yesterday to skip school this morning. I didn’t want to be left in the open without any protection and since Mom loved to work from home do much, I can call in sick and stay at home with her. Besides it was Friday, going to school today was pretty useless.Those two weren’t going to try anything as long as I was with an older person right?. I didn’t quite believe myself.I suddenly jerked back from my thoughts when I heard my mother shout something at Cole and My brother shouted something
Chapter 3“Oh shit is right cupcake.” Theodore said looking shocked. The bell rang to end lunch break. I didn’t even get to eat. Granted I wasn’t looking forward to the food but I still can’t spend the rest of the day hungry.“Things are about to get interesting.” Selena murmured helping Theodore up to his feet. I noticed just then that she’d not said a word since I pushed Theodore. How am I even sure u pushed him. He must have seen me coming and threw himself on the floor to deceive me. Oh yes Diana, chose denial. How else am I going to explain what happened. The locker, the books? How? This is so frustrating. My life was perfect until this two people walked into it and started to ruin it.“Get away from me!” I shrieked running the other way. Everyone in the hallway turned to look at me. I must seem so crazy to them right now. I don’t care as long as I’m as far away from this people as possible. A witch of all things. I always knew I was different from the rest of my family. My hair
Chapter 4It was eleven o’clock when I was able to drag myself out of bed. I found it extra strange that my mother didn’t come up to drag me out of the bed herself after all, that was her usual M.O. I could hear their voices from downstairs so I knew that both of them were awake. They rest of my family were usually cheerful in the morning appreciating the sunshine and whatever, while me on the other hand was always very grumpy and it annoyed my mother to insanity which also makes her grumpy in the morning and then my brother turns into another grumpy demon because everyone else was grumpy. It was a strange, vicious cycle.I ran a shower and took my time. This would show them for making me miss lunch yesterday and inviting a bunch of cockroaches into out house. At least I can actually pay them back by making them wait since they decided to play dirty from the very beginning. After my shower, I made sure to stretch my hair straight, then curl it back, and for an afterthought, a light ma
Chapter 5I dragged myself into bed on Sunday’s evening. I believe that I hate Theodore a hundred times worse than I originally did on our first meeting, if it were even possible. ‘You’re doing it wrong’, ‘don’t be a princess’, ‘are you going to cry?’ Gods! I hated him. And the feeling was mutual it seemed. Theodore hated my guts almost as much as I did his, not to my level because, come on, I’m better at everything. He hated me just slightly over average. Selena, god bless her heart, was a total sweetheart, even though meditating didn’t give me any inner peace at all. I was a sweaty mess at the end of everything, needing to learn how to call on my powers and control them was definitely harder than it looked. It took more energy than I thought I would need. She said I was a fast learner, and I usually called on my powers on instinct. She said I was a white flasher or a whatever. It seemed like a really big deal to her. I made it a choice to not pay attention to these things. in my exp
Chapter 6Why did I let Theodore trick me again? It was obviously a trick. They both played on me to get me to go to their stupid Halloween parties. Selena actually asked me to dress in leather. Her actual words were. “You can never go wrong with black leather.” This was why I switched my traditional cargo pants and sweats for black skin tight leather pants, a white crop tank top and a black leather jacket with steel studs and combat boot heels. I look like a hungry rock star. Dye a streak of my hair red and hand me an empty guitar case and I’ll fit the roll perfectly.So here I was in front of a mansion that I didn’t know existed till one hour ago. When I told my mother that I was invited to a party, she didn’t think for a minute before letting me go. I don’t know if it is because of my small outburst this morning or because I apparently don’t have any friends and I should be lucky to get invited to a high school party for once in my life. Whatever reason it was, I didn’t appreciate

CHAPTER 18I looked to the wizard sitting in front of me, his look of terror mirrored the one I was feeling inside, even though we didn't say it, even though we technically had no proof, I knew we were thinking the exact same thing."He is here" he said gravely like he was delivering a death sentence. It might as well be one. My plan to learn how to use all the power at my disposal to kick its creepy stalking, family napping ass just flew out the window poof. I called it; the universe truly did have something against me. All what has happened to me for the past few month just go ahead to prove that some god up there was having a laugh at my expense. There is a keep full of magic folk all looking up to a fellow white flasher to beat him up again and here I am, not being able to lift a freaking feather. I knew the ranting I was having inside my head was only stalling the inevitable. Even now I could hear screams of people as they ran to safety. I got up quietly from the mat. Sir Robin
CHAPTER 17 I couldn't help the slight shiver that raked through my body and I smiled sweetly at him. "I wondered where you ran off to" I said punching him playfully on his arm "I had work to do here at the keep" "Work?" I asked my face scrunching up in confusion "Teddy is a watcher, a sort of warrior at the keep. He is always so secretive, it's not like it is something that should be kept secret" Selena said rolling her eyes. "I wasn't keeping it a secret" he said defensively. "Yeah right." Selena replied folding her arms across her chest. "How come your girlfriend doesn't know what you do?""It just", I watched with amusement as Theodore scratched his hair nervously. "It never came up""Whatever guys" I said interrupting Selena when she looked like she was about to throw a come back "What's a watcher anyway?" I asked. I actually wanted to know. Theodore and I have been dating for weeks and I still feel like there were a lot of things I didn't know about him. I couldn't help f
Chapter SixteenThe keep was not at all what I expected. Lanterns were floating in the air and so were people. A small train conveyed people and other stuff across. It was definitely large enough to be an actual city. It looked impossible to be kept secret but the magic made it possible. It was like I got lost in a crowd and began to go sightseeing. Somehow I knew I would never be lost in such a place. Everywhere seemed to lead back to the entrance. The archways and passages where clearly cut through stone. I was sure that it was the work of magic. There was no way that a normal human being could do something so beautiful out of hard stone.The witches in the keep were moving about their business and I felt out of place for some reason. There wasn't anything distinct about me and no one even paid me much attention but I still felt out of place. I passed a store selling potions and peculiar things, another selling robes, I don't know what for. None of the witches I have seen made use o
Chapter Fifteen I stayed still on the bed using my eyes to scan my surroundings for any potential danger. The events of the last months have left me a paranormal mess. It wasn't that I didn't trust Janice or Bryce to keep me safe, it was that I expected everyone in the world to attack me. I guess loosing members of your family can do that to you. Losing my brother and my mother have definitely made me into a different person. I didn't know if I could ever get my life back to how it was. I eventually summoned the courage to get out of bed when I deemed the room free of threat. I walked into the en suite. There was a new toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste lying there waiting. Good thing because in all my rush last night, I seem to have forgotten to bring mine along. I brushed my teeth and took a shower even though it was freezing and I could do without one I needed to cool my head, afraid that it might explode I still wore the same clothes I had on yesterday. Signature cargo pants an
Chapter 14 I have to wait until twenty-four hours and if I didn’t hear from either of them, I could make an official complaint. There was no reason why my mother and brother would be abducted. We have not received any threats. She must have gone out in a rush and forgot to take her phone, or leave a note, or shut the doors. That’s what the police officers said in their halfhearted attempt to a supposedly ‘naive’ seventeen year old girl calm. While they were talking, they didn’t believe themselves, I didn’t believe them, they knew I didn’t believe them either it was sad watching them really. They looked so uncomfortable. From the condition my house was in, it was clear that foul play was involved. When they asked me if I had any family to stay with as I was a ‘minor’, I told them my boyfriend’s family were close friends with purse. I didn’t have any other family and I wasn’t sure if they weren’t going to throw me to the system at the slightest opportunity. They might not, since I
Chapter 13Tiny was finally awake and I let out a breath that I had no idea I was holding. I was so relieved I thought I was going to cry. A tear even managed to escape from my eyes. I didn’t know how I was going to process everything if my impulsiveness almost got someone killed.“I told you to not let go.” Tiny said, getting into a sitting position on the chair. I resisted the urge to push her down so she could just lie down. I had to remind myself over and over that she was an adult who could take care of herself and this was probably not her first time.“I’m sorry. I thought you would die if you held on.” I replied bringing down my head, chastised.“You were right.”I was right? “I was?” I ask in shock.“Yes.” She said. Selena brought her a cup of tea and she patted her hand in thanks. “I would have probably died if you didn’t let go of my hand.”“Did something happen?” The question was from Theodore. He was beside me now. He held my hands in his own.“You need to be trained Diana
Chapter 12For weeks, I didn’t receive any contact from my strange visitor. At first I was worried because I finally remembered to tell them what had been happening to me since I started training with them. Selena thought we needed to see a dreamweaver or something, someone that would interprete to us. l wasn’t exactly elated about the whole thing, no one wants another person moving around in their head, so I was glad when I discovered that I had for a month before I see her because they only had one dreamweaver in the coven. As it turns out, she was an even greater freak of a woman and she’d disappear unannounced for weeks only to return for a few. I don’t know what Selena was thinking, considering to allow someone like that near me but I trusted her judgment so I would not complain.Theodore and I had become even more close than we were before. It happened so suddenly. One minute we wanted kill each other by shooting lasers through our eyes and the next minute, we could not get enou
Chapter 11I got home by 5pm. I could have stayed outside longer but I didn’t tell my mom where I was going and even though a smile from Theodore would magically erase her anger, I’m not sure I could push my luck much further. She could get a hold of herself any moment and it was going to be chaotic for me. Not just because I don’t want anything tampering with my freedom. My training was also at risk. Theodore and I didn’t say much to each other after our confession. I’m glad we didn’t because I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to say. I know I was just prolonging the inevitable and eventually, we were going to be forced to have ‘the talk’ but I was going to enjoy my time right now and live in the moment. In a moment, everything could just disappear and I’d find myself back to my first step. I liked Theodore, a lots. Granted, I admitted it to him before I admitted it to myself but it was still the truth. I do like him a lot. I do want to spend all day with him looking at fake and
