Chapter 1

__________________________________________________________________________

Welcome, to my hell. Where everything goes wrong, everyone is messed up and most of all.... You're messed up. Imagine, you're a 14-year-old girl. With two 12 years old brothers. Never the mother's favorite, and never the father's glowing daughter. I've always had people fear me, you see, I'm different. Like really different, one time, I was playing with Nick and Mike. They are my two younger brothers, we are playing tag. Nick was running over a falling branch. I knew that it was there. I was very mad at him for stealing my last slice of cake. He was going to run around it, and in the back of my mind, I was hoping he would fall on the branch. And all of a sudden the branch moved and he tripped over the branch. My nose started to bleed. Nick started to cry, my mom and dad were helping me when all of a sudden my dad looked over at me. He saw my bloody nose, and he barked at me:

"Nakala! You better be gettin' your brother into the house and fixing that nose of yours!"

"Yes, father" I responded. I felt guilty because for some reason I thought this was all my fault even though I never did anything to hurt him.

So yeah, that's only one story out of millions that I could tell you. Well anyway back to the present day. It was about 10:30 p.m., way past our bedtime. Nick and I were listening to our mother and father talking in the living room. They were sitting on the sofa and the conversation went like this..:

"Why would she have a bloody nose right after Nick fell?" my mother ask my father

"I have no idea, I thought we got rid of the witch blood in this family years ago" my father responded

"Maybe I still have some of it still in me?" my mother said

"Well if so we will find out within the next few days," my dad said

They got up to go into the dining room. Nick and I ran up to the twin's bedroom. I grabbed a cup of milk while running. Mother can out and asked

"What are you two doing up at this hour?!"

"We are just grabbing Mike some milk," I said

"Ok well it's now time for bed," she said

I went with Nick into their room and Nick was asking me why they were talking about the myth of witches.

"I have no idea, Nick," I said

" It's so odd, witches aren't real!" he said in a scared shaky voice.

"Your right, they aren't real," I said "well, I must get to bed now, night boys"

"Night Nakala!"

I can promise you, none of us got any sleep that night. Not even a minute of rest. Well, I had school that day, I got up and got my uniform on. I ate breakfast and then got on the bus. I went to school, everything went like usual besides the random nosebleed in the middle of math. But it was after school that everything took a turn. I saw Nick talking to some older man. I went up to them "I'm sorry but I and my brother have to go now" I said

"No, we don't Nakala!" Nick said. I gave him a stare that said we needed to go.

"Oh yeah, we have that doctor visited," he said, catching on to the situation. Then all of a sudden, Nick starts to say his head hurts. He got very pale and looked dizzy.

"Nakala, what's happening?!" he said,

"i -I don't know?!" I yelled

"Nakala! Make it stop please...please...please Nakala help m-" he said before he passed out.

"And that's just a warning Mr.Harten, you don't want to play with the dark side of magic, '' the older man said to me. "You're lucky I didn't kill him, he will be fine in an hour. Give him milk and the pain will go away. Have a great day Nakala" he said then winked at me and walked away like nothing just happened. I picked up Nick who was still out and went home. My mother and father were home and when they saw Nick they just said to put him on the bed and said not to wake him until he wakes up himself.

Hours past and that gave me enough time to tell my parents what happened at the school. They never sent him there and he wanted to go get me. So they allowed him to go. I was pissed at my parents to trust him enough to go off by himself. They walked out of the room and they were talking in the kitchen. Before Nick woke up I told everything to Mike. He's my brother and we never keep anything from each other. Then Nick awoke. He was yelling

"Nakala?! Nakala?! Where are you?!" he started to cry

"Nick, I'm right here!" I said, hugging him. Mike joined in the hug.

"What just happened?" he said

I told him the truth. Then I asked, "what do you remember?"

"I remember everything, but after everything went black. I saw you. You were telling me everything is going to be ok. That your here for me and to wake up soon" he said

I got chills after he said that.

"Nakala? What's wrong?" Mike said

"That so scary" they both got scared looks on their faces " everything you just said is everything I said while walking home with you in my arms," I said

"After that you were yelling at me, telling me to wake up

***nicks dream***

I was sleeping when all of a sudden I awoke

"Nick?! Nick?!" I heard my sister yelling my name

"Nakala?!" I yelled looking around this very dark room

" Nick!" Nakala came running up to me "omg Nick you're ok! You need to wake up! Please Nick" I started to see tears welling up in her eyes " please Nick before they get you!" she said

"No, I'm not leaving you! Please Nakala what do you need?" I said starting to cry

" just. Wake. up!" she yelled. She started to fade away. She was talking to me but it got so faint " Nick please wake up"

"Nakala?!" and then I awoke

And that's when I awoke when I saw you guys" Nick told us.

***out of nicks dream***

"Well it's ok now drink the milk and Mike will stay with you. I'll be back up soon.'' I told the boys.

"Wait for Nakala, I just had a flashback from in the darkroom," he said, starting to cry. Mike hugged him.

"It's ok Nick I'm right here and Nakala is just going to be downstairs," Mike said

"Yeah, I'll be right back," I said assuring him I won't belong

I walked down to the kitchen and saw my parents walking. "Mom, dad? What happened today. You guys looked so calm during it all" Ii asked

"Honey, there some stuff you can't know right now," my mom said

" What do you mean?! Nick just blacked out and is now having flashbacks of things that just happened in his mind. And I'm sorry if I seem off but who the hell was that guy who hurt Nick?!?!" I yelled. I was so mad. It was like they don't care

"Honey.." my dad started "are you sure you want the answer to your last question?"
