A Tale Before Time

Archery Practice

Willow's POV:

   It's been a few days after everyone got there finger glow and that I found out about my father. Everyday during lunch Sophie would walk in with strut walks the lunch room like it was a runaway. She would walk by me, Agatha, and Tedros everyday just to make sure that Tedros would see her and Tedros would look at her, interested in her. I felt jealously burn inside me every time it happens. I was in my room, when I heard a knock on my door. I got up and saw Agatha at the door and gave me a concern look. She could tell that I have been having a hard time after the ceremony.

"Hey, is everything okay?" Agatha asked me, walking into my room.

"To be honest, no I'm not. What I'm about to tell you, you can't say to anyone, not even Tedros." I told her and she nodded.

"Willow, what's going on?" She asked me.

"Dovey told me that my magic has been passed down by generations. My father, he attended this school. But my father has been placed under a curse that made him disappear, the headmaster brother Rafal place it on him." I told her.

"Willow, I'm so sorry." She told me, placing her hand on my shoulder.

"That's not all. Dovey told me, the only way for me to bring my father back... is by saving someone else." I told her not telling her the full story.

"Okay, that doesn't seem hard. So you need to save someone. That can't be to difficult, right?" Agatha asked me and I shock her head at her. I looked up at her with tears in my eyes.

"I have to sacrifice myself to save someone else." I told her and she looked over at me concerned.

"What? You would have to give up your own life. Is there anyway to bring you back if you do end up giving up your own life?" She asked me.

"There is... but it might not even work or happen. In order for me come back if it were to happen. I would need True Love's kiss." I told her and she looked over at me in see that this just hurts me.

"Willow, you know that might not happen." She told me.

"I know. Agatha, you can't say anything about this to Tedros. He will stop at nothing to stop what will happen." I told her and she stood up.

"Are you saying you want this to happen?" Agatha asked me.

"God no. I... I just have a feeling that I might at some point in time... I might have to sacrifice myself to save someone else. Agatha, promise me... you wouldn't say anything to Tedros. I already asked Professor Dovey not to say anything about this. Please just don't tell him if he tries to ask you about anything, okay?" I asked her and she looked at me worriedly and nodded. I got up and hugged her tight to help her feel more comfortable. 

"If anything happens to you, I want to let you know. I am so happy that I got to meet you and spend with you because you are an amazing person and an amazing friend. I am so happy I got to know you more since we have been here." She told me holding me close.

"I'm happy I got to know you too Agatha." I told her and she let go of me and she wiped my tears away.

"Lets go do something else and not talk about this, okay?" Agatha asked me and I nodded. We started to walk out of the room. We went out to the garden and under the willow tree and sat down under the tree.

"So this is where you and Tedros go when you guy talk to the each other?" Agatha asked me and I nodded.

"We would talk here for hours. Agatha, a few days after the finger glow ceremony, after I saw told about my father, and when he was worried about me, trying to figure out  what was going on. I kissed him on the cheek that night before I went to sleep." I told him and she looked over at me surprised by that.
