Chapter 3

__________________________________________________________________________

We all ran downstairs.

"Mom? Dad?" we yelled. They were just watching a movie. "Omg you scared us!" we all barked at them and then ran upstairs.

"We can't keep getting worried about stuff like that just because you're a witch Nakala," Mike said.

"Yeah you're right, we are going to freak ourselves out too much," I said.

Well, we all had school so we went to bed that night. In the morning no one woke me up. Or my brothers so I went to their room. I got them up and then made some pancakes. It's a family favorite. But something was strange today. Mom and dad were gone. Well, I started school before the boys so I told them to get onto the bus when it beeps. I went to school and I had everything going smoothly until this jerk Tommy, was beating up this kid named joey. He was kicking and punching Joey, pulling his hair, and then hitting his head on the lockers. I got so mad at Tommy that I lost control and used some part of my powers without knowing it and slammed him up to the lockers with my mind. I don't even know how I got enough power and strength to do it but it just happened so fast. He got knocked out. His head was bleeding. Then after that, all I wanted was to make him better. I tried but I could do nothing but stop the bleeding. I had to run home and clean myself up. Later I found out that Tommy was rushed to the hospital and died one hour later from the injury and internal bleeding. I felt so bad but also so weird. My head was hurting and I felt light-headed. It was time for me to go pick my brothers up though. I forced myself up and went to school. They take the bus in the morning but I walk them home in the afternoon. I saw my two little brothers talking to grandpa again!. I ran up and yelled "Mike?! Nick?!" but then I heard "yeah Nakala?" the two claiming voices coming from behind me startled me. It was the twins.

"Oh.. sorry wrong person..'' I said embarrassed to the kids and most likely their grandfather. I told the twins " it's time to go now" but as I was talking to them there was a big scream in the crowd. A girl about my age yelling help while holding her head like she was in pain. Then I looked all around to see if Marley was anywhere near us. Sure enough, I saw him in an alley. He was staring at the girl and not blinking. Not blinking is a sign of use magic because you need all focus for any type of magic. I knew he was the one doing it. I filled up with so much anger I ran over to Marley. Pushed him to the brick wall in the back alley

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" I yelled at him

"Hey, hey hey! Calm down. You need to calm down." he said laughing

"You find this funny?" I yelled "you could have killed her if you used too much magic. AND WORSE you did it with a crowd of people to watch!"

"It was just for some fun, Jez," he said laughing even harder

"You're a monster," I slapped him across the face. But just then, I felt something. I don't understand what but it was like guilt or sorry but it was weird. Then I snapped out of a trance of some sort "oh my god, I'm so sorry. I don't know what just got into me"

"It's all good," he said.

"Well, I have to go take my brother home. Bye" I said walking away

"Bye.." he said

I grabbed my brothers by their arms and walked them home.

"What just happened," Nick asked

"It was Marley..." I said

Nick's face went pale.

"Nick, it's okay. Don't worry. I'm not going to let him hurt you guys. Ok" I said

"Ok.." they both said

When I got home we ate dinner and went to bed. It was a long day. All I wanted was to get a good night of sleep. I was just about to go to bed when I heard my door swing open, very very fast.

"We need to go"
