Have you ever walked outside at night? When it's so dark and you can't see a thing at first? I often do that and I'm never afraid. Because I know that after a while my eyes will adjust to the dark and I will be able to make things stand out. I'm alw...

4 gentle knocks on my door made me smile "come in Lina." Catalina opened my door and just stood there. It was quiet for a moment till Catalina sniffed "what's wrong Lina?" I whispered.
"I really want to be a witch."
I rolled my eyes but smiled "come here" I flopped my blanket away and waited till I heard her bare feet triple to my bed. She crawled in and I wrapped my arms around her, her head on my chest. There are 3 years between us and ever since I hit my puberty, I tower over her. I started combing her hair with my fingers, knowing that she always relaxes when I do that.
"I know you want to be a witch Lina, but it isn't something we can chose. You need to let it go and accept it. Maybe next year you receive your wolf."
"Can you sing for me?"
"Of course." I sang a song mom used to sing to us when we were little. Soon Catalina was snoring softly, and I smiled down at her. She really wants to be a witch but without a strong enough gene in our family it's nearly impossible. Maybe she will have a wolf, but I highly doubt that. Al because of the birthday present she gave me 2 years ago...
Start flashback 2 years ago
"Happy birthday honey" mom said, giving me a kiss.
"Thank you, where is dad?"
"Feeding the chickens. Pancakes?"
I nodded and she handed me a plate. She sat down and helped Tygo with his breakfast.
"Happy birthday princess," dad said while he kissed my head.
"Fay, Fay!" Tygo yelled, asking for my attention while he stuffed his pancake in his mouth like he did something fantastic. My name is Ophelia, but Tygo had a hard time with it, so he started calling me 'Fay' and honestly, I love it. Every time he says 'Fay' my heart melts a bit.
Catalina entered the kitchen with a scowl on her face, she hates to get up early. "Good morning, Lina," we all said laughing with her. Catalina groaned and dropped her head on the table.
"What are we doing today?" she mumbled.
"We need to clean the house, prepare Fay's birthday present, wash the sheets and make dinner for Fay's birthday," Mom said while she took Tygo out his highchair.
"No thank you, I need to see my friends anyway__" she said with her eyes on me, and then realization hit her "Oh my God. I forgot! I forgot!" She ran back up the stairs.
"I'm going to clean up Tygo," mom said when Cataline came back in with a box. She pushed it towards me, "open it, I hope it's not dead yet."
"Dead? What animal did you put in the box?" I asked her.
"It's not an animal. Trust me."
I opened the box, still skeptical. "It's a__ a plant?" I asked.
"I found it in the Silvamagna forest," she whispered.
