Chapter 5: Spells and Potions

Kenna's POV: 

"My name is Ophelia." Said the enchantress, even her name sounds like it is antic if that even makes sense. 

"Well Ophelia my name is Kenna, even though I already told you my name." Said to her with a chuckle. 

"Nice to officially meet you Kenna. Now shall we get to business?" Asked Ophelia and with that I once again explained what had happened to me and how I ended up in this place. I will admit that this time I did go into way more detail but that's because I am not being hurt by anyone. 

It was an exhausting talk, it made me relive all of the emotions that I had gone through. By the end of my explanation I felt drained. It had taken a lot of me and all the questions that Ophelia had for me had made me even more tired than I already was. 

Thankfully I was able to answer all the questions that Ophelia had without much of a problem. She had asked me about my life before all of this happened and if I knew any family members. Ophelia had a look of pity when I had finished answering all her questions.

I guess she realized how bad I had it growing up. But I did not want pity, I just wanted an opportunity to live my life as best as I can. 

"Thank you for answering all my questions honestly Kenna. I really appreciate you helping me understand your situation. From what you have told me I have a theory about who you are and why you do not know anything from our world." Said Ophelia to me. Wait... she may actually know what is going on with me? This is amazing!

"Really? Who do you think I am? How can we find out more about me?" I asked Ophelia with a hopeful tone. I really wanted to get to the bottom of things. 

"Well I am going to need a blood sample so that I can run a DNA test. Your DNA will be uploaded into our system and see if we can find a match to the ones that are already there. Actually I will need two blood samples." Said Ophelia to me. 

"Two? Why do you need two blood samples?" I asked her. I understand why she would need my blood but I do not understand why she needs so much of it. 

"I am going to preform a spell on your blood. This spell is going to help me get a history about you." Explained Ophelia to me. 

That made my eyes go wide, she can do something like that? Honestly, I think she is a witch and the word enchantress is just a different way to say it. I should ask her what she is... but not now. I need to focus on what is happening right now. 

"Okay... will it hurt me in any type of way that spell?" I asked her, I know its on my blood but if its going to hurt in some weird way then I want to know. 

"No it will not hurt. I will also give you a potion which you will drink. This potion will let me look into your past." Explained Ophelia. She can look into my past? 

"You will be able to look into my past? How far into my past can you see?" I asked her. She raised an eyebrow at me as in questioning me. I just gave her a small smile and lowered my head a bit. 

"Do you have something to hide?" She asked me. 

That made me shake my head, I didn't have anything to hide but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't like somethings to stay private. Like all the times I got into a fight at the orphanage or when I had to steal so that I could survive. 

I don't regret doing those things cause I know I had to do those things to survive but she may not agree or like my methods of survival. Plus it will also give her access to all the things that I went through that I wished no one will know. 

"I don't have anything to hide, just do not judge me for the things I had to do in certain situations because I wish I didn't need to do those things. I did what I did so that I could survive and I do not regret anything. Just know that you will probably not agree with my decisions and methods but I did what I had to do." I told her, she had to know that all the things that I have done in my life weren't because I wanted too or I was happy to do them. 

Life can be cruel and to me it had been just that. To me life had given me more than a lot of people and not in the best way. I had manage to survive until now and I will be damn if I die now. 

"Okay... I'll be as opened minded as I can be." Said Ophelia with a sympathetic smile. 

"I have a questions though..." I said to Ophelia. She made a motion with her hands as to tell me to ask the question. 

"How in the world are you going to be able to see my past?" I asked her. She gave me a wicked smile this time. 

"When you drink the potion you will fall into a deep sleep. Then your mind will be like a movie proyector. It will project all of your past and anyone in the room will be able to see and hear them." Explained Ophelia, she is going to see them too? 

Okay I am officially done for. This is going to be horrible, one thing is see what happened to me in my past another thing is hearing what I said. She will be able to know the way I think and how I will react in certain situations. 

"Scared?" She asked me. 

"If I am being honest I am a little scare. All of my private moments will be in display for anyone to see." I told her. 

"You do not have to worry dear child. The memories that will be played are the important ones. The memories that have marked a turning point in your life are the ones that we will see. If we were to see each memory it would take years. The potion decides which memories we will see." Explained Ophelia to me. 

That made me relax a bit, not all of my past will be shown. But at the same time it's worse because they will judge me on the few memories that they are shown. I am not going back, if I must do this in order to prove to them I am no threat and I get to find out more about myself then it should happen. 

"So... when are we doing this?" I asked Ophelia. She gave a wicked smile once again and interlocked her hands, she rested them on the desk. 

"We will start right now." Said Ophelia.
