All Chapters of The Ancestral Witch: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

      Hours had passed since we embarked on this journey but we are nowhere close to our destination. The journey seems endless and my feet feel numb for sitting too long.    "How long till we get there dad?" I asked with a grunt to show my discomfort.    "Very soon Mona." He replied while adjusting the car rear-view mirror so he could see my face while Mom gave me a pleading look.   After minutes of driving on the highway, dad pulls off the tarred road at a sign that reads 'Welcome To Denvon Community' and into a dirty muddy road. The more we continue down the road, the more it feels like we are leaving civilization behind.   Both sides of the road are lined with tall trees and all there is to see is a very thick forest that goes as long as the eye could see.   I roll down the left door window and put my face out of it. I

    "Hello! Anyone here?" I called out into space and was responded by the echo of my voice.   I found myself in a void dark place that I'm guessing to be an empty room, judging from how loud my voice echoed.   I remember falling and hitting my head on the floor and the side of my head still hurt from the impact but, I don't remember coming to this place. 'Could this be the room I was checking out? Then dad must be somewhere near' I thought to myself.   "Dad where are you?" I called again and I got the same response, echoes.    I feel the need to get out of this room. Something isn't right here, I can feel it in my bones. The exit should be somewhere near. It's eerily dark and the darkness makes me uneasy.   I moved a few meters north but I couldn't find the door. I changed my direction and moved south and still couldn't feel a thing with my hands.

  Laura's POV     "Put your mind at rest Laura, the doctor said she'll be fine," Mark reassured, holding my hand in his and drawing me close to him so my head rests on his chest.   Amar has been out for fifteen hours and I haven't blinked since then.   We are still at loss to what happened to her in the room before her deafening scream rang through the house and we found her right in the middle of the room lying motionlessly on the floor.   "Would you like a cup of coffee?" he asked with a worried look on his stressed face. We are both stressed.    "No," I replied looking away from him and back to my daughter. Over the past few hours, she has unconsciously been fighting herself on the bed and the doctor had to use restraint to prevent her from injuring herself.   "Now am worried for you Laura, you haven't slept nor eaten anythin

    I stood in awe, marveling at the beauty and architectural design of the hallway.   Wow!    The word escaped my lip before I could stop it.   Beauty is an understatement for a place like this. I wasn't expecting a building so old to have such a unique and amazing interior.   The long hallway was lined with different works of art, ranging from sculptures to paintings. My old school wasn't even half as beautiful.   "Excuse me," I stopped an average height blonde girl with freckles and dark chocolate hair packed in a tight bun. "Can you point the principal's office to me please?" I asked.   She stared at me for what seems to be like an eternity with intense curiosity in her eyes, murmuring incoherent words. I could only pick a few lines from what she was saying.   "...for the time has come for the awakening

  "You missed the first class for the day." The principal whom I now know as Mr. Russel said, handing my timetable and locker's key over to me. He walked towards the door and I follow suit and we both stepped outside. I was disappointed when I met with the absence of the strange guy. This feeling of disappointment is meaningless. Why do I have to feel that way for a stranger? I questioned myself.   Mr. Russel lead me through the big hallway till we reached a big stained glass door with flower intricate, he stepped into the classroom and all the students chorused their greetings.   "Well," he started, "we have a new student on transfer and she will be joining this class. Introduce yourself please." He concluded, stepping aside for me to take the lead.
