Witch burning. They're close, they're coming for me. Running feels like my only option right now I don't know what I did wrong. I hold on to my black cloak, and lift up my dress and run even faster. Thank god for my companion Samuel. Hes a crow but he keeps me safe while hes in the sky and I on the ground. Still running and my feet feel like I've been stepping on broken glass. Finally I reach my destination. The sighn says 'Leo's pawn shop'. I hope this works. I go in. It was like the place was empty. "Hello. Please someone help me." I was scared to death of the place. I stepped towards a glass case full of figurines. I just stared at them. So beautiful. "Hello Sarah." I immediately jump and almost break the glass case full of figurines. I turn to see who it is. It was a middle aged woman she has blond hair, a warm smile yet cold blue eyes. 'How does she know my name?'. "Don't be scared child. I am like you. I was sent here to help you." Truly god loves me. I took off my cloak. "H-h-how do you know my name?" I studderd. "I am Luna, head of the council. I've been watching you since your birth. You are special my dear, do not underestimate yourself your powerful than you know." She said. My head is full of questions. "What am I? I don't understand anything. What's going on? Why are the villagers chasing me?" I asked. "All questions will be answered at the right time. Right now we have to get you get safe. Come on." She grabs my hand and we run to the back of the store. A dead end and I hear the villagers raging voices. Then she pushed a brick and a door appeared. We went in and the door closed behind us. Are we safe? I don't know anymore. Did she leave me here to die? I'm beginning to question my safety with this woman. "Where are we?" I asked. "Don't worry your safe." She said. She held out her hand and blue fire popped out from her hand. I jumped at that sight. There was more fire around us. I also have a feeling that we're not alone. I was right. More people holding fire, but it wasn't just fire. It was earth, air, and water. I wanted to run away but, there was no door for me to escape. I was terrified now. My heart started to beat as fast as drum. My palms started to sweat. Luna let out a smile. "Don't worry child you are safe." I didn't trust her. "This is the witches council. And as I said before I am the head of the council." "Y-your a-a-a witch." I studderd. She smiled and said "Yes and so are you." This woman is must be a loon. I am not a witch. Nor have I ever been. "I know its hard to believe but, its true and so is your mother." She explained. "My mother? But shes dead and so is my father." I testified. But she just shook her head. "You mean my mother is alive?" I asked while still stunned. Everyone is nodding their heads. My mother my own blood is alive! I can't believe it. "What about my father is alive?" I asked happily. They exchanged looks and a woman holding fire first spoke. "He is very much alive but, we do not speak of him." She stated. "Why?" I asked her. "Its for your own saftey." A woman holding air said very calmly but, with a worried look. Why would they not want me to know about my father? Is he dangerous? Is he dead but they don't want me to know about it? Did something bad happened to him? No I musin't think like this. I should be more greatful of having a father and nothing less. "We must hurry you to the chambers quick, before the humans finds this place." Said a another woman holding earth. I still had some questions that needed to be answered. But I'm guessing nows not a very good time though. "Where shall we go? The entrances are no where to be found." I said. Then the woman holding earth did something spectacular. She held her hand out and made an entrance to pass. "Now hurry quickly! The spell won't last long for humans to find us." She said and we all quickly went into the passage. The woman that was holding the door behind us quickly went in with us and shut entrance. Then the witches made a circle around me, and recited some kind of spell. Their elements faded. They held hands and they started to glow. So did I.

I was glowing even brighter than them. I was scared to death now. Then I couldn't have any control over my own body. Lights shot out of my eyes and mouth.

Everything was a blur.

I woke up sweating on the ground. Luna helped me up. And said "Welcome to Malabar." I don't think I'm in Virginia anymore.
