Redemption [Completed] Book 1 Of Awakened Series

Chapter 16

-Now this is an update-

~Marie's POV~

I was hanging out with Aiden today. I want, no need to practice more magic and now I have a witch to practice with.

"I really do want some cookies right now," Aiden said. We were walking around enjoying the sun and of course each others company.

"We will just find a bakery some where."

"Hey watch this," Aiden said. He started whispering words quietly looking at window of a store. The window started to freeze over, turning a frosty white.

"How did you do that?" I asked.

"It as a spell I picked up on."

"Wait how do you 'pick up' spells?" I asked. No one just walks around casting spells like that for people to catch on.

"There are competitions, Witch competitions. They battle each other and cast spells on each other. It actually is cool to watch. I learned that spell when this guy was trying to freeze his opponent, I could hear what he was saying. The other fellow though was able to 'melt' it away with having energy coming from within."

I would love to see something like that. Other like me.

"Can you take me to one?" I asked.

"Right now?"

"Well is there one happening now?"

"Of course, all the time."

Aiden took my hand and took me into a building or say a bar. We walked up steps once we entered inside. Aiden opened the door to just be greeted with a elevator. I guess it make more sense to be underground then just a story above humans.

The elevator wasn't to big but maybe just enough to have breathing space. He opened a little door and pushed a button with a red skull.

"Can't someone find that button?" I asked.

"Ya but would you push a button with a red skull on it?"

"Maybe..." I mumbled.

I could feel the elevator drop down. I was never good with these things. The elevator stopped and we heard a ding, the doors opened. The place looked just like a little stadium. People filled the seats, lights were on and people were in the middle of the rink. We walked down steps and sat in the front row, a perfect view.

"So what is the benefit of this?" I asked

"For some this is a chance to be a high ranking Witch. Witches are notified with how many spells they know, which can be seen with doing counter attack spells. Others use this as practice, even though you could be paired up with some one who doesn't have the same mind set."

In the rink were two girls both tall and slim. They both had a steady stare as if not caring that their life could be at stake. One of them cast a spell with her hands and a fire ball goes toward the other girl. She ducks down and the fire ball continues. I thought it was going to hit someone behind them but it hit this invisible force field and dispersed.

"Oh your not getting off that easy."

The fire girl casted a spell and the other girls hand started to enlarge. It looked like it could probably pop. The other girl whispered a spell and the girl went stiff. Big hands then waved her hand over the other and the swelling went down.

"Aiden how do you know what counter attack to do?"

"I could tell you were getting a little confused. A Witch can always feel magic targeted at them. Some can completely dodge it or only certain parts of their body is affected. But the girl who went stiff was clearly weaker than the other. And like always they move up ranks."

"And your winner is C-Beater!"

~~~~~~

We stayed and watched some more competitions which were cool. Afterwards we got cookies and talked a little. I went back to the hotel as I wanted to just lay down and rest.

I changed into comfortable clothes and watched a little T.V. I just wonder what my family history is like and if my parent were alive would they be surprise or were they expecting it.

I sighed and closed my eyes and drifted off but sleep didn't come a nightmare did.

I was in line with a bunch of other people and it was cold. Everything had a red hue to it. But as I looked beyond I saw what looked like demons. Where the hell am I? I looked behind me and the person had white eyes. I blinked a couple of times and turned back around. The line moved and I stayed in step, I almost felt like I couldn't get out of line even if I tried.

It seemed like mere seconds but I saw now the next person. The demon had black eyes, three horns curled forward and a slash on either side of its cheek.

"You need to choose."

"Choose what?" I asked.

"You need to choose."

"What the hell do I need to choose!?"

I then felt bodies crowd around me, the people with white eyes. They were repeating the same thing over and over again. 'You need to choose.' I sunk down to my knees and covered my ears. It is just a dream. Its just a dream.

I opened my eyes again and this time I was falling and landed on a cloud. There was a nice sunset in the sky and it looked beautiful. But as all things nice end the clouds started to turn dark and lightning started to flash across the sky. Why am I dreaming this?

"Ah Marie, my favorite one."

This is the Grim Reapers doing. That son of a bitch.

"What do you want from me?!" I yelled which echoed across the sky.

"I want your life Marie. That's all I want, but you see you have to die first. I need to drive you insane Marie."

"You are sick," I said in a disgusted tone.

"Maybe. But there is something I will tell you. You will not hear from me for a while Marie, but when I come back your life will be a living hell. Just know you've been warned."

The cloud disappeared from beneath me and I fell into darkness.

I woke up breathing hard, sweat coming down my face. I got up and ran to the bathroom and vomited in the toilet. The Grim Reaper is sick and horrible. Also my life will forever be in danger and no one can change that.
