Chapter 3: Explanations

I continued down the hall and turned right into the kitchen. I was beginning to feel very overwelemed, so much was happening in such a short time. But I had also felt normal for once in the presence of this group.  I could sense that this was for real that their claims were true and how in the future there would be danger. 

 I had managed to push aside these thoughts as I was greeted with a plate handed to me by Asher. "Here" he grunted. His green eyes caught mine for a split second. The kitchen had colored walls, a white refrigerator, wooden cabinets and a long yellow counter covered with different sized plates and bowls. There were two barstools being occupied by Riley and Erick as they ate their meals. A few feet away there was a round wooden table that seated four, three of the seats being occupied. "Poppy" called Jeff. " Get some food and sit." I went towards the counter and saw that there was hamburgers, grilled chicken, potatoes, spinach dip, squash and brownies. Still hesitant, I choice a hamburger and some squash. I joined Jeff, Asher and Grandpa at the table. I slowly began eating my food and after a few minutes I heard "Muuum these brownies are gooood" from behind me. I looked and saw Erick with a plate of brownies. "Well, at least he'll burn the calories" I heard Asher say to Jeff, who nodded in agreement.

"Well Poppy" said Grandpa after he had finished his meal. "Ask away! We know you have questions, so please begin." I finished chewing and looked at grandpa's wrinkly face. "First off, why am I here? And why did Asher bring me here?" I said as I nodded towards Asher. "Jeff and Erick detected high magic levels at your high school, so we sent Asher there to investigate since he is 17" Grandpa replied. "He had been at your school for weeks and happen to find the source of magic level which was your friend and then discovered that you too were giving off magic." "You see there aren't many wizards and witches as there use to be, so finding you was astonishing" said Grandpa. "Poppy your magic levels are extraordinary high for a young witch, so you'll be learning how to control your powers." I was about to ask another question when Asher beat me to it. "So who will be teaching Poppy, Grandpa?" I saw that everyone else also wanted to know. Grandpa paused to think before saying "Asher since you brought it up, you will be teaching Poppy." The curiosity in Asher's eyes died as I saw irritation replace it, he then stood up and left the kitchen along with Erick and Jeff. "Please forgive him Poppy. He will open up with time" said Riley. I watch as Riley then stood up and went to the sink and began washing dishes.

"Now Poppy" said Grandpa while facing me "Back to you questions." I continue to question his slowly throughout the evening. I learned that Clementine had been a demon, that there was a war going on between wizards and demons, that including this organization of wizards there are only five. I learned that Riley was 21, and could control elements that Jeff was 19 and could use telekinesis, and that Erick was 17 and could use enerkinesis ( it's kinda like using the force for those who seen Star Wars). I learned that Asher was different from the rest of us because he was half wizard and half demon, and that Grandpa wouldn't tell me his magic. Towards the end of our discussion, I was told that I was now a member of this group. How I would become one of the saviors of Wizardkind and Mankind, and how much pressure was on us.

 At around 10:30 Asher came back into the kitchen to tell me that he would show me to my room. The house had three stories and my room was next to Riley's on the top floor. Asher lead me up the stairs to the third floor. When we reached the top he turned around and said "We start our training tomorrow morning early so be ready at 6:30." We then continue the walk to my room in silence and when I got there he left. I went into my room, it had white walls a small deck, a bookshelf, a closet filled with clothing of my from my house. I was left in wonder, but that was shortly dismissed once I laid in my bed. I felt my eyes become heavy with sleep, and in moments I fell myself drift into darkness.
