☆☆Kevin POV☆☆
The second I heard Mia’s scream, my foot involuntarily hit the brake. However, everything went black for a few seconds; I didn’t hear anything nor see anything or even feel anything. I was totally numb.
Then I started to hear a few distant voices: “call an ambulance” then, someone shaking my shoulder asked: “Are you okay?” “Are you hurt?”
My vision was blurry at first, I felt fine, nothing hurt, no blood and no broken bones. I raised up my head that was resting on the steering wheel as I blinked my eyes a few times to clear my sight until I saw Mia next to me and I freaked out.
She looked like she had hit her head against her side window and passed out. I unbuckled our seatbelts and reached for her head. I checked her head for blood which was clean. I checked her pulse as I called her name: “Mia, can you hear me?” I patted her cheeks a
☆☆Mia POV☆☆The way Natalia looked at me, made me realise how much she hated me. I only wanted to know why. I never did anything to her. I didn’t even know her.She despised me for no apparent reason. Anger was shooting like wild daggers from her eyes, her body trembled in frustration and her face showed contempt. The scene that was supposed to amuse her, turned against her and humiliated her instead of me. All that goes back to Kevin; I never knew he was capable of something like that.When my foot slipped, I expected to fall down hard and hear laughter all around me. Instead, I felt strong hands holding my arm and back; keeping me from falling. Kevin held me like I was a doll and moved me just one step to the side to avoid the spilled water on the floor. He actually saw the whole thing happening when I thought he didn’t even notice.His move stunned me to the point of complete silence. I did
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆ I ended the call with Jack and lost all of my senses at once. His words echoed in my ears continuously: “that thing is dangerous, don’t show it to anyone, and be careful around it” “Oh god it is all my fault. I even dragged Mia into this mess” I blamed myself for everything. I shouldn’t have gone to the attic in the first place. I stayed up all night pacing back and forth in my room, thinking about everything that happened since we found it and how it all made sense now. My alarm sounded next to me, bringing me back to reality. I got ready for school as fast as possible, gathered everything and went straight to Mia’s house. I wanted to catch her before she boarded the bus. I parked in front of her house and waited after I called her like a million times. It took her 15 minutes to come out. She stepped into the car complaining: “what the hell Kevin? You scared me. Why are you here? Did something….”
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆ I got into the changing room to get ready for the race. Mia’s idea was a good one, I had to give her that, but I felt hesitant and worried towards it. She wanted to prove whether the horseshoe was a lucky charm or not. I closed my eyes remembering what we talked about in the car trying to calm down and find logic in what she said. “Trust me Kevin; it’s the only way to be sure. Just put the horseshoe on you during the race and we will see what will happen” she said as she held my hand in hers pressing it in assurance. I looked into her curious eyes and said as i scratched the back of my head: “I don’t know Mia; I really think we should listen to Jack and keep away from it” She sighed soundly putting her head down replying in a low tone: “I just don’t think that it’s dangerous at all. It literally saved us back in the car accident. Let us give it a try” I couldn’t refuse her anymore: “Fine, I will do
☆☆Mia POV☆☆The second I saw Ben behind me, I instantly froze. “What is he doing here? Why did he come to us? He usually ignores us completely as if we are air” I thought to myself as I stared at his smile that he was flashing at me.I stared at him in disbelief, he looked at Kevin and his smile turned into a smirk while Kevin gritted his teeth and glared at him even more fiercely.Kevin’s grip tightened on my hand, squeezing my fingers more. I pulled my hand free and spoke first, breaking the awkward silence: “hey Ben, what are you doing here?”He grabbed a chair from the table behind him and sat down with us before looking at Kevin challengingly and then turned his head to me and smiled widely saying: “I was passing by and saw you two; I thought to check up on you”I felt my cheeks heat up as I remembered our earlier hug: “I am okay. Thank you”I glanced at Kevin
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆Range erupted within my body and I hardly controlled myself. I stepped into the storage room and I saw nothing.The storage room was empty. Mia wasn’t there.I closed the door and I felt my blood boil; I closed my eyes and clenched my fists hard.“Natalia played me” I took large strides back to the cafeteria. I was going to kill her this time. What the hell did she do? If Mia was hurt, I will definitely make her pay for it.As I stepped into the hall, I saw Mia sitting at our table silently waiting for me. Just seeing her calmed me down instantly. I searched for Natalia with my eyes and saw her eating with her head down on the plate.I was a little confused. I expected h
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆ I left Mia’s house in denial, I didn’t want to believe that we actually fought together for the first time since we became friends. I walked around aimlessly thinking about our last conversation. Her words shattered me completely, it hurt so bad that I couldn’t breathe right. It feels like I got stabbed right into my heart and its bleeding sorrow. The worst part was that she didn’t know anything nor she believed me. Finally I dragged myself back home. I didn’t want to talk to anyone, so I just headed upstairs. As soon as I entered my room, I dropped myself on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Sadness poured inside my soul.
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆ My dreams were filled with this memory repeating over and over all night. I woke up only when my alarm sounded at 6 in the morning. I got up gloomy and depressed. I almost ditched school today, but something came over me that I couldn’t shake off. So, I got up, got ready and headed there. As the bus approached the school, I saw Mia standing with Ben talking. I don’t know what happened but it looked like Mia sent him off. I came down the bus with the idea of not talking to her ever again; I even wanted to pass by her and not look. But again something came over me and I couldn’t do it. As if I couldn't control myself or my actions. As I approached her, she smiled. I almost smiled back, but I just put on a cold face. I really didn’t want to talk to her. However, my heart melted when I saw guilt on her face and how she struggled to apologize. I couldn’t withstand her agony especially when it’s caused by me eve
☆☆Mia POV☆☆“Mia,” the teacher shouted out loud and all heads turned to me as she headed towards me.She hovered over my head and looked at my exam paper and then at me. I was in shock because of what just happened and I couldn’t respond.I couldn’t speak or move. So, she just stood there staring at me. I glanced at her and then at the paper again.Then I mustered whatever strength I had left in me and said: “I think I am done. I will leave now” and bolted towards the door as all eyes were following me.I came out of class panting heavily like I was running a marathon although I was exhausted mentally and not physically.I was supposed to meet Kevin after the exam session at the door of his assigned class so that I can pass the horseshoe secretly to him.Since I finished the exam earlier than we thought, I headed to the cafeteria to look for him.I entered the ha
Ch. 54 THE PROMISE ☆☆Mia POV☆☆ The sound of the slap echoed through the walls of the bathroom like thunder, and instantly turned her cheek red. It felt so good to finally repay her for the evil she did to me. Surprised by my move, she glared at me but I didn’t give her the chance to recover as I aggressively grabbed her hair, opened the faucet and dragged her head under the running water. She started squirming and held onto my arm trying desperately to free her hair. But I clasped onto her with iron fingers not giving any chance. “You bitch” She screamed loudly and I just wiped her face with more water. Her makeup was smeared and she looked hideous showing her true self. Satisfied with what I had done, I finally let her go. I watched her drop to the floor panting and wiping the water droplets off her face. I took a step back and decided to scare her even more, so I just flamed myself up and enjoyed the horrified look on her face. She tried to stand up but failed as she tripped on
☆☆Mia POV☆☆ I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection. I admired the ocean blue dress that hugged my curves and smiled happily to myself. I twirled around and watched the long skirt ruffle the ground. The princess cut sleeves exposed my shoulders and collarbone making it sexy and elegant. I couldn’t help the happiness bubble from exploding inside me. I was finally going out on the prom date with Kevin. I slipped into the silver heels and twirled one last time in front of the mirror in excitement thinking that it has been a month now since we destroyed the horseshoe and there was no sign of Kevin’s father or the syndicate. They might be lurking in the dark waiting for the right moment to strike but I would be ready for whatever they do. I wouldn’t allow anyone to ruin this night for me. “Stop twirling you will fall on your face” Diana’s sarcastic voice sounded in my room. I looked at her still not believing that we have joined forces and she has become my sleep witch.
☆☆Mia POV☆☆ The essence of life was seeping out of me and I could barely hang on to dear life when out of sudden, my batteries got charged to the fullest without a warning. It was like an electric shock ran through my body reviving all my senses at once and when I opened my eyes I saw Kevin flying in the middle of the air. I gasped loudly for air as I watched him hit the ground violently. I turned around and saw Diana holding my hand and Jack screaming at the top of his lungs while shooting at the hunters. I was confused for just a few seconds about how Jack and Diana came here but then I rushed to Kevin who looked like a lifeless corpse. “Shit, not again” I screamed out thinking that every time something happened, he ended up on the verge of death. “Kevin” I called out his name and kneeled next to him. He wasn’t breathing, I felt my heart being punched inside and tears burned my eyes but then I heard Diana saying: “Hurry cast a healing spell. Like I just did on you” then she fire
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆The bullets pierced the tranquility of the night and hit the tombstones next to Mia. With such distraction, Mia’s flames ceased and I forgot that she could deflect bullets. So, acting upon my instinct I threw myself on her. I pressed her on the ground and shielded her against one of the tombstones saying: “Are you okay?”“Yes, Kevin. Get off me; we have to cast the spell now” she wiggled out of my embrace: “they can’t hurt us. Come on let me finish this”“Wait a second” she froze in her place and I looked at the men firing at us. They were professional hunters; dressed up in black and in full gear. I thought about it for a second and realized that the syndicate didn’t know that Mia was now a fully fledged witch. So, they sent armed men and not a witch to capture her.“Okay, go” Before I could finish my words, Mia hastily went back to where the horseshoe was and I could see bullets flying around us, which surely confused the hunters.She just stood with the spell in her
☆☆Mia POV☆☆When we reached granny’s house it was around mid-day, after spending more than 2 hours fortifying the house against any possible coming attacks from Kevin’s father or the syndicate, Kevin and I settled on the couch. Completely tired and drained out of energy. All I did was close my eyes for a few seconds to rest and I fell into deep slumber instantly counting sheep.I didn’t know for how long I slept but when I opened my eyes again, it was already dark outside and there was no one around me. I blinked a few times, remembering where I was and what was waiting for me in the next few hours.I stood up and walked towards the kitchen to find granny sitting with the diary in front of her. Seeing her like that I couldn’t help the warmth that swept over my heart. I have missed her so much and I didn’t want to go through all this ever again. Sensing my presence, she turned her head smiling: “Oh, you’re up”“Mmm” I walked to the table and hugged her tightly.“How are you feeling?” s
☆☆Mia POV☆☆ The moments that pass by our lives defining who we are and what we want, are rare and you can wait a lifetime before having one of those. My vision cleared gradually and I found myself in the school cafeteria with Ben sitting in front of me, his hand holding mine,and murmuring something in an inaudible tone. It took me a few seconds to register that this was the last day of our exams, when I almost lost Kevin all thanks to that idiot in front of me acting all innocent and cute. I stared at him not believing myself for falling for that dumbass stupid talk and hurting Kevin the way I did. I mentalling slapped my face when I heard him saying: “I will not force you. But I will wait for you tonight at 7 o’clock at the coffee shop” Suddenly he stood up and was about to leave. Last time I let him manipulate me into going out with him and it almost cost me the love of my life, but not this time, I stood up as well startling him while saying: “I am sorry Ben, but I won't go out
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆I watched Mia cut her palm with a knife and her blood dripped inside the bowl. We looked at each other and watched Marie step outside the circle with a sad look on her face saying: “time to say goodbye”Her eyes sparkled with farewell tears as she tried to smile sadly and looked at Mia: “You’re a great witch, never underestimate yourself and you’ll be glorious” smiling back, Mia nodded her head and wiped the tears with her hand.“I don’t have to tell you to keep her safe, right?” she said to me and I just chuckled back. Finally she looked at Jack and Diana rolled her eyes up and sarcastically said: “you two have issues”She retrieved her diary and handed it to Jack saying: “this has to go back with you” then she handed Mia the book of shadows along with a paper that had the spell written on it and started to light up the candles one by one saying: “I altered the spell to send you back to the day of a blue full moon night. Each one of you will return to his body, doing wh
☆☆Mia POV☆☆Rage and revenge were the only feelings that steered me at the moment. They were liberating and I felt an enormous amount of power within me that I couldn’t contain, waiting to explode any second.Diana wanted to use this against me. She irritated and pushed me beyond my limits and I almost lost control at some point, but when I realized that she barely attacked me and allowed me to hit her numerously, I understood her plan. So I decided to let her fall into her own trap.It was fun to let her think that she actually won and that I lacked knowledge about being a witch. Of course that made her confident and she mocked me even more, till the moment she mentioned granny. That was when I totally lost control over myself and decided to stop playing and kill her. I wanted to put out the revengeful fire burning inside me. My anger was like a wild animal hungry for her blood.But what I never expected was for my powers to awaken. I was confused and scared at first since in an impu
☆☆Mia POV☆☆There is a moment that comes once in a lifetime, when you feel the fire burn through your bones and your heart pumps blood so fast, that’s when you realize that the time to fight the greatest battle of your life has come. When I turned and saw Diana in her usual fiery curly hair, bold red lipstick, and devious eyes, I felt an immense amount of revengeful power surge through my veins, which I couldn’t control. My body heated up and my hands shook violently, I just wanted to strangle her and plug her eyes out. I felt Kevin’s hand around my waist, he was holding me back. He knew I wanted to kill her. “You found the book” she smirked mockingly and I saw her eyes shine with amusement; she was enjoying this too much. That was her revenge back at Jack. I wanted revenge too, she took away my granny and I wasn’t the weakling I used to be. Marie has taught me very well. “There is no way in hell, you will touch that book” Kevin replied back angrily as I hugged the book closer to
