Witch Hunter

Journal Entry: Victoria James

I cant help but feel that my person slipped passed me and out the door faster than a breeze let in when someone opens the door. And that's just the start of this feeling. This feeling of leaving someone behind or never finding someone. The feeling of missing something that I never had or didn't know I wanted. That's how it feels to know that my forever person is with someone else, and what's worse, he doesn't know that I know he is supposed to be my forever person. In his defense (before you judge him), I found out way sooner than I was supposed to, see I might have done snooping and well here we are...Okay fine I did more than snoop, but I could not help myself.

You see I am a witch hunter. I just found out two weeks ago, and I am supposed to continue acting like I do not know. Yes I know that sounds easy, but I can feel them, their energy, their feelings, I can even tell when they are using magic. SO, anyways, I am sitting there thinking okay so if I found out I am a witch hunter, then what else was my family hiding. A secret love interest...that's what they were hiding. A love interest of two different witch hunter clans. He doesn't know that I know, and I am okay with that. I honestly never wanted a soul mate, love interest, or anything until I saw him with someone else, and realized I do want that, one day. Not today or tomorrow, but one day.

See I come from a long line of witch hunters, but I did not know this until I stubbled upon a door in my fathers study I have never seen before. I open the door and I see books. I mean like floor to ceiling shelves, every shelf stuffed to the max with books. I start reading and eventually I find out I am a witch hunter. Which honestly does not surprise me, but what does surprise me is the fact that I am suppose to marry someone of a different clan. He does not know this yet, but his family knows. My family doesn't know I saw that in the same book I found out I was a witch hunter. I basically just told them I read enough to know what we were, who I was, and what I was meant to do with my "feelings." I like my clan, now that I know I have one, it all makes sense now looking on my life. Growing up we always had friends over, the women and men would go off and the kids would be playing in the backyard of our house. We'd play games that now looking back I guess not a lot of kids play, one being witch hunt, another being energy saver. Finding all of this out was kind of hard to deal with at first, but it's pretty easy knowing I turn 18 in a few weeks.

Regardless, I always knew I was more then just the average kid. In school, I would get these intense feelings around certain people, I would see their energy, I would feel their energy. I have always been told I am an empath, but I always knew it was more than just feeling someone else's feelings. My body knows that I know what I am now, and it is hard to hold back. The feelings are more intense now. I am not supposed to know that I am a witch hunter, being the clan leaders daughter I have to wait until I am 18 at least. As dumb as it is, if I was a boy I could act like it now, but I am a girl, so that means I don't know until I am 18. It's all very complicated..we'll come back to that. My parents were relieved when I told them I knew. They hated keeping it from me. I have witnessed a few hunts before, but I always thought it was someone sneaking into the gates or something. Our house is on a hill in the middle of the country. Surrounded by walls with gates to get out, and beyond those walls are trees, and country farms for miles. I have learned in the last two weeks not every clan is the same...I learned about his clan three days ago.
