The Witch Next Door

Chapter 3

Winter

I'm finally out. Out of the hell I have been living in. I can finally go away. I started to make my way to the street. Cars were flying by like crazy. I stopped right were the sidewalk meets the busy road. I looked up, cars were still flying by. I took a deep breath in. I need to do this. Get away from it all. I need to find my brother, my mom, and my dad.

They all went missing when the government got me. My mom and I are witches. My dad and my brother, Alex, are wizards. We all have a talent. I am an Ice Witch. I control all ice and I can control water to turn them into ice.

Alex is a Fire Wizard. Controls all fire. And he can even create fire from thin air. Alex and I used to play fire and ice when we were little. Alex is my older brother by two years. He's eighteen years old. Haven't seen him in forever though.

My dad is the Ocean Wizard. Controls the seven seas. I always wanted that power. I used to go down the the beach a lot and play in the water. But now I can't go anymore because I freeze the water the ice every time I touch the water.

But I do go on the sand. I remember one time when I was about nine years old, my dad took Alex and me to the beach. No one was there yet, so my dad showed us some cool tricks.

I remember my favorite trick was when he made the doom around the three of us. We got to see the fishes swimming around above us. It was beautiful.

But I also remember him putting the water back and having rings of water swirl around me slowly. I touched the water, and it turned into ice. That's when my dad said I couldn't play in the water anymore.

My mom is the Nature Witch. She controls all of nature. That's why I call her Mother Nature sometimes. I look more like my mom than my dad. My mom taught me everything I need to know about the Witch world. She taught me how to control my ice flame. When I was five years old, I figured out that I had a spark in me. Not like the other kids.

Like, an actual spark.

My mom told me it's nothing to worry about, and that I'll need to forget it. That's when Alex came up to me and showed me that he could make fire, with his bare hands. I thought I had the same power. So on my free time, I would try to create that flame that's inside me. My mom saw me trying to get out my inter flame and told me that I don't have a hot flame. I have a cold flame.

I'll never forget that day. The day I figured out I was a witch. The day I figured out Alex and my dad are wizards. My mom told me to never tell a living soul about my power. But I didn't listen, and it costed my friends' life...

I won't go into the story yet, maybe later.

Anyway. I had nothing on but a white dress. No shoes, my hair was flowing freely with the wind that cars were making. I finally stepped my right foot into the busy street, and the cars started to freeze all around me.
