Earthspell

Chapter 11

I have to be imagining this. How is it possible Peter is here in Agnam High?! "Peter?!" I say. "Rose?" Peter asks, confused. I should've made an effort to look different. A ponytail instead of a braid. Glasses instead of my perfect vision. A new wardrobe.

Not my best effort at becoming someone else. "What are you doing here?" Peter asks. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be back in Prior High?" I ask back.

"I'm here because I couldn't let you go. I need to always know where you are."

"Sounds a little bit clingy, don't you think? You traveled across the state to find me. How did you know I'd be in Chicago anyway?"

"Just had a feeling."

I really doubt that I wanted to say but this truly is weird. How did Peter find me?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The rest of my day was uneventful. I had a feeling boys were watching me though, because girls kept glaring at me.

As I head back to my "home", Peter stops me. "Maybe I can come with you. Hang with you a bit." I suddenly had the feeling of never wanting to be near him again. "No." I say.

"What?"

"I said no, you stalker!!!"

I quickly get in my car and drive back to Anna's little house. I walk back in house and lock the door. "Anna?" I ask. "Yes, Rose?" I hear Anna say from the kitchen. "I saw him." I say as walk toward the kitchen.

"Saw who?"

"Peter!"

"Who is this Peter?"

"He's my...friend from Prior High. I just saw him today at Agnam High. He wouldn't tell me how and why he's there. He just said he can't let me go and he always needs to know where I am."

Anna turns to face me. "Oh no. He couldn't be a..." Huh. What's she talking about. Anna continues her sentence,"...a Dark Witch, could he?" Now I'm really confused. "A Dark Witch?" I ask.

"A Dark Witch is a part of the Black Star Union. They try to track down elemental mages to kill them. They are usually in disguise as normal people. Once they find an elemental mage, they report it as soon as possible and keep track of them. Then they seclude and trap the mage they discovered and kill them."

"Peter can't possibly be a Dark Witch."

"It's possible, Rose."

This can't possibly true. It can't be true. I thought he liked me. Was it just because he was looking for information? Did he notice my love of nature and consider I was a mage?

Did he ever like me at all?

In case you're wondering why the cover of my book is different, I just wanted to change it because it wasn't that great. So I hope you like the new one.
