Moon Light :Rise of Blue Moon

Erica's POV

I lay in the green grass staring blank at the evening sky. "Erica!!" my aunt Kelly calls for me. "Oh shit, I forgot to pick the herbs for dinner." She going to give me an earful. Wouldn't be the first time. She's really quite a sweetheart she just doesn't show it and she adores me that's for sure.

I hurry back to the cottage after quickly picking the herbs that I could gather on the way to the cottage. "Ah, you forgot, again." She says, raising her right eyebrow it probably past her hairline. That's the look she gives me every time she is about to scold me, not today however. "Hmm, sit!" And I do wanting to avoid chaos.

"what's up with her?" I ask myself. It's not like her she would have started to tell me to behave like a girl and probably to show interest in a boy or something, which I proudly disagree. I know I could be a little bull headed some times but the boys from our town are idiots, really.

The only friend I have is Landon and even he thought I was weird when we first met. Probably because I wear boy's clothes and most of all my unique white, long hair. Landon was the youngest prince of our kingdom and my best friend. We met in school where we both went and from then we kinda clicked.

I tried asking Aunt Kelly about my unique features but all she says is that I have my mother's looks, bright blue eyes and fair skin, and my father's hot head. That's all she tells me about them and says that she will tell me when the time is right.

"Have you been hearing voices in your head Erica?" She asks snapping me out of my head. "What the heck is that supposed to mean?" I ask. "Just answer me!". "No." I answer. "And what is all this about?I am not a kid any more, you can't scare me with one of your crazy stories Antie" I say as I set the herbs on the counter top.

"All I have taught you is true and for your own good." She says with a stern voice. "Yeah right, you mean like when you go blabbering about fairies, goblins, witches and what not." I say crossing my hands on my chest chest and starring at her calm face. Almost like I'm the crazy one.

"One day you will understand who you are, what you are and you will realize how special you really are my child." "That's what you say all the darn time and I stopped believing oh, let's see, when I was ten. Im turning 18 now." Frustration is evident in my voice. I mean who wouldn't be not knowing anything about who you are. She just sits there looking at me like she knows what I'm thinking and most of the time I think she does.

"I'm off to bed." I kiss her head goodnight and head to my room. I can't be mad at her forever, she's all I got. My only family. Sometimes I do feel like we're different from the rest and that is no secret. Aunt Kelly is weird in so many ways and I'm just well,me. I settle into my night gown and stair into the the sky with the brightest moon, almost brighter than usual. This was my daily routine for every night. I almost felt like something or someone was
Listening to me, watching me.

"Έλα σε μένα " I hear in my sleep stirring me awake. I rise up from bed almost like my body is obeying the call on its own. "what the hell is going on?" Before I contemplate what is happening, I get pulled out of my room window by a strong attraction to the voice. And I can't seem to bring myself to stop moving

"Έλα».I hear her again. Then all of a sudden I am start to glow and my feet rise from the ground. Energy courses through my veins." Erica, listen to my voice. "Aunt Kelly calls out to me from bolow me." Don't let it control you, calm down. "I stair at her like she doesn't mean anything to me." please, my child come back. "hearing her cry brought me back from whatever trans I was in and back to reality.

I drop to the ground and she rushes to my side. I start to trembling and sobbing from the shock." Hush my child it's all right, I'm right here"she says holding me on her arms tightly. I still couldn't bring myself to say anything. I pass out cold from exhaustion.

" Ow, my head "I say as I came to In the morning. I was lying on my bed with a blinding headache." Ah, look who's awake. "Aunt Kelly says with a weird smile on her face. She hardly smiles, at all."Take this,it helps." She hands me a concoction of one of her herbs. I chugged the whole thing down in one go.

"Thanks" I say. "soo, about last night..." "Your powers unleashed when you turned 18, as it should have. It's about time." She cuts me off."About time, time for what??" I say rising to my feet to face her but I stagger and fall. "Easy your body is still weak.""And you know this how exactly? "I ask her trying to get answers on whatever is going on.

"It happened to me too and every other witch before us." She says looking me dead in the eye. "Yeah right, again with the stories." I say sarcastically. She doesn't say anything. "wait you're not joking are you?" "No, I'm not. Every story I've ever told you is true. We are no longer safe here...." Before she even finishes, a bang echoes from the door.

"They've found us. Listen to me, I don't have the time to explain just remember what I've taught you and believe in yourself, do you here me?" "what's going on, who found us?" "I can only open one last portal for you to escape, find Astrid the supreme witch she will tell you everything you need to know, tell her I sent you." With that I she opens a portal behind me and pushes me through.

"Remember who you are, you are our only hope" That's the last thing she says to me before I see her drop down through the other side of the portal and dissappear from sight. "Noo!!" I scream in pain of loosing the only family I knew. Then everything went black.
