The Hell Princess Diaries

Chapter 8 - edited

**Picture is of Liviana. Played by Shailene Woodley.**

I wake up to the feel of a cool cloth on my head. I'm on a couch in the sitting room. How did I get here? What happened? I ask myself. A woman's voice reaches me as I gain full consciousness.

"Liviana? Can you hear me?" Its Rosalinda. My new grandmother. And the witch. I nod my head, still too dazed to speak. "Oh good. You had your father and I very worried. If I thought you would pass out like that, I would have waited until you were seated to tell you about me." She says with a smile.

"How did I get here?" I ask her. She smiles at me.

"That handsome hellhound came in right after you fell and carried you here. What's his name? Random?"

"Ransom?" I ask laughing at her attempt of remembering his name.

"That's it!" She says with a huge smile. She hands me a glass of water, and I take a sip. "He's really handsome. Are you too together?" She asks with a smile.

I choke on my drink and she hits me on the back to help me breath. "No we're not. Its not allowed." I say once my breathing is back to normal. She just nods her head and smiles.

"You know, your parent's marriage wasnt supposed to happen." She says quietly. "Demons are not supposed to marry witches. The birth of any child of that combination of powers is too powerful to be allowed to live." I stare at her. I have no idea what to say.

"So, I'm not supposed to be here?" I almost smack myself because of how dumb I sound. "I mean, I don't even have any powers to be considered a threat." I say hoping I don't seem as stupid.

"That is why I came to see you today." She says, her voice growing urgent. "As you may know, I am a very powerful witch, the leader o f my coven. The only one as powerful as me was your mother. She had the power to freeze time, move objects with her mind, and the power of premonition. She got them all from me except for the power of reading minds. Your mother couldn't do that." That shocked me, I didn't even know my mother was a witch until a few hours ago, and now to find out she was the second most powerful witch of all? This is crazy.

She laughs. "I know this is crazy, but it is the world you live in." She says with a smile.

"You can read minds?" I ask quietly. She nods her head slowly as if to not scare me. Too late.

"I know this may be frightening, but you must understand that I am only telling you this to keep you safe. Since you are half demon and half witch, you have more power than me, your mother, and your father combined." At the mention of my father, I realize he is not in the room with us.

"He is fine, dear. I asked him to give us some time to talk so that I could explain everything to you." She reads my mind again. "Anyway, since you will have these powers, you are a threat to many people. Those people will want you dead. Simple as that and they won't stop until the have you. They will either want to use you to gain control of the kingdom or they will kill you so that you cannot take control of it." She pauses as if to see I understand. I nod to tell her to continue.

"I had a vision that someone is going to threaten your life and the kingdom. Since you are not full witch, you have not gotten your powers yet, but you will soon. You could get them tomorrow or in a month or even in ten years. But until you gett them and learn to control them, you are a danger to the people that want you dead. Once you get your powers come, whatever they may be, I will help you to control them and learn to master them." I nod again, showing that I understand.
