Bewitched

19 /I know less/

*UNEDITED*
Recap:
I needed an advisor, a friend at that time. Who could make me believe things?

I thought that it would be right to tell Amy everything.

I walked towards my door and wheeled the doorknob clockwise.

My hands forced Amy to sit on the clean bed.

Amy, I want to tell you. I gulped simultaneously.

Yeah, sure. She responded assuredly.

So you're gonna tell Amy the whole witch story, right? My inner Ally suggestively asked.

I want someone else to know about the shit that is going on in my life right now, I replied suggestively.

Ally, tell me what do you want to say. She said.
She had this huge packet of a wafer in her hands and yeah it was her favourite chips.

I couldn't concentrate, the Munchy sound hit me up whenever Amy slid her hand inside of that silvery wrapper.

Firstly, keep it aside, it's just so distracting. I said with a burp.

Okay, as you say. Amy answered back, keeping the wrapper on the wooden surface beside her.

She immediately sensed that something serious was about to start.
So she took her shoes off and humped on the bed.
Okay, what if I tell you that Brendon's a witch? I mumbled as if the walls gonna record our conversation.
Amy gave me a poker look for a minute and then she said 'What if I tell you that Laurie's a Vampire.'
Is he? I asked with my wide-opened eyes.

Yes! He just keeps on sulking my blood day and night. Amy justified her previous statement.
Her lips suddenly made a semi-circle on her face and she busted out laughing.
U know he's so irritating, sometimes I just wish I could run away.

My face turned crimson red.
You thought that she would understand you so easily, my inner Ally said.

I thought of explaining it more intensely but before I could do that, I heard a knock on the door.

Ally, why did you lock it? Open the door.
My mom gently interrupted.

I straightened up my crumpled body and walked to the door.

The door flung lazily and my mom entered.

She didn't say much, she just gave me an indescribable look. Like 'WHY DID YOU LOCK THE DOOR FROM INSIDE'
It was a questionable look.
I know this look. Whenever she thinks I did something explainable, she just switches off to that look.

Her eyes widened and before answering her, the doorbell rang.

That person, who's standing outside the door in this warm heat is your real saviour, my inner Ally gratefully talked to me.

I shrugged and smiled at mom.

It's obvious that whenever the doorbell rings, it's Ally who's gonna open that freaking door.

This thing always annoyed me but this time, I was glad that it was me. After all, I got away without having one on one talk with her.

I opened the door and Katie barged in.
She always chooses to dress dull and lame.
Yeah because apparently, she's a witch. My inner Ally stated the fact.

Before I could even react, my mom's footsteps started haunting me again.

Who's on the door? She asked.
Uhmm, it's my frrrrriend? I replied

Fine, tell her to suit herself. Although, I'm going out. I have some errands to run unlike you.
Mom explained while wrapping the pinky scarf, around her cold, slender neck.

As she passed by her, she gave her a soft smile and Katie reverted the same.

So.. why are you here?

Anyway, Brendon told me everything. I told her immensely.

Are you sure he told you about everything? She widened her black-lined eyes and made me fumble.

I was speechless because I had to be speechless. I had nothing to say. It's not like I could tell her that I believe Brendon wholeheartedly and I can put my life on the line for him because I knew that he broke my trust not so long ago.

Don't you think it's rude? To keep your guests standing right in front of your door, without asking them to head in. Katie said.

*
Stop chasing him, Katie kinda warned me.
I had this 'what are you saying' look on my face.
You have that book with you, Katie said.
Which book? I asked.
She took out a single steel thingy, it looked sleek.
She closed her eyes and her lips started moving in a distorted manner.

After a second, the steel wand moved and took a half turn. It rotated towards my cupboard.

Your spooky place was not enough to enforce your witchcraft? I questioned her.

Found it. She said while putting the steel wand in her brown sheepskin bag.

What? I asked her abruptly.
She was already on her way to the cupboard.
She opened it and grabbed that bulky book.

You're such a thief, Ally. Katie exclaimed suggestively.
How did u get to know that? I asked her.

I'm a witch and I do have tools. She elaborated.

Watching it with my own eyes was terrifying. That thing helped her.

Well, did u get to know anything about us, since u had this book for a long time huh, Katie taunted?

Well, don't mess with us, it's almost like calling your death. She explained.

Do u know what's the main difference between white and black colours? Katie curiously asked while twitching her unshaped eyebrows.
Uhmm... I don't know, I said.

Both are opposite, if you add black to any other colour, it fades. The more you mix them, the more it drearily dulls.
And when you add white to any other colour, it brightens.
Brendon is almost like the black colour, don't let him fade your life.

You might not believe me but the truth is that we all play the role of black colour in this human world.
This is who we are, we work for the evil spirits and nothing can change that fact.

Katie came closer to me and rested her hand on my beloved pendant.

Brendon gave you this? she smirked.
Yes, but I can brighten up his life too, I exclaimed assuredly.

Katie maintained the silence and walked away.

Hey! I don't know what you do or how you do but I can't let Brendon go away. I screamed at her.

She was gone but I couldn't stop feeling helpless.
I heard someone calling my name reluctantly and it was Amy.

I had to lock her in the bathroom because I didn't want her to meet Katie or ask me any questions.
*

Now the book was gone too! I couldn't read about the black wizards.

I just felt so tired and unworthy.

I had to meet Brendon at 6 but my mind didn't feel like dressing up at all. I thought of applying the mascara only.

My exams just got over and now I can finally write yayaya, hope y'all will keep supporting me!
