CHAPTER 3: (Lea)
Lea dumont is a normal teenager, who was going to see her mother’s favorite musical Mamma Mia, until while she was bringing the popcorn to the table she saw a big black hairy dog, and it looked like a wolf, Lea was so scared that she fell to the floor, but suddenly she was back in the kitchen with the popcorn in her hands, she left the popcorn on the counter and… with her hands shaking she opened the door to her room, there was nothing she turned to go back to the kitchen but she saw the door to her mother’s room half open she entered and lived that, on the floor was the photo of her mother with her uncle Leon Lea had never met her uncle Leon since along with her father he died in a terrible traffic accident from which her mother had taken care to hide it completely; that is, her mother did not want to give her the details of that tragic accident but looking for information on the internet about that accident Lea was able to find out that the bodies of Her uncle and her father had been completely destroyed and only her uncle’s torso and her father’s legs remained and although they searched the entire area in search of the other part of each one they never found them but she did not know what could have caused that accident Lea raised her head and in front of her on the bed she saw that big wolf it was an extremely large dog or a wolf with black fur and eyes that did not reflect any kind of empathy he threw himself towards Alea with his mouth open and bit her on the forearm using blood then the wolf bit with all his strength to lea dislocating her forearm Lea screamed in pain and her mother ran to see what was wrong with her and then she saw the big wolf there get out everything Lea to her mother but instead of attacking, he went to her side and vanished out of nowhere Lea made a tourniquet with her gray sweatshirt and her mother out of fear and panic took her daughter to the hospital they were running and passed next to Lea’s favorite park, Lea and her mother had gone to live in Lyon in France shortly before she When high school started, Lea had to separate from her friends, although they saw each other every year, then she remembered when she fell, her mother was always by her side to pick her up, she hoped to be able to do the same with her and not disappoint her, even though she wanted to be a doctor, despite her grades, Lea and her mother crossed a zebra crossing, it began to rain heavily and suddenly the car without a license plate appeared, which, instead of stopping to wait for them to pass, ran over her mother, her mother when she fell to the ground hit her head on a rock and was knocked unconscious, Lea grabbed her sweatshirt and stopped making the tourniquet for herself so she could help her mother, Leada was crying and didn’t know how to call the ambulance, but suddenly her neighbor Emilio appeared, he was a good guy, he was a forty-something who was going bald and as soon as he saw her mother Leada on the ground, he didn’t have to think about it for two seconds, he grabbed his cell phone and called the hospital to bring an ambulance, Emilio asked Lea if she was okay and also told her that it was normal to be in shock but not to worry Emilia grabbed her jacket and placed it around Elian’s neck, Lea’s mother, and lifted his collar to put it on her thighs. Lea’s mother was unresponsive and bleeding a lot. The ambulances arrived a little less than five minutes later and took Lea’s mother to the hospital. The other ambulance made Emilio tell her what had happened, although he had only been there when he saw Lea’s mother on the ground. In the ambulance, Alea was treated by a doctor and helped her heal the bite she had on her forearm.
-You do have a very big dog- the doctor said ironically.
-Yes, it’s huge, but… it’s my fault that I went to pet it and it got scared- said Lea. The way to the hospital was very tense since Lea could see what her mother was doing to her. Lea didn’t know what to do. She was scared, anxious, and about to have a panic attack. They arrived at the hospital and the doctor muttered something that Lea couldn’t hear from the doctor. The doctor was tall and freckled. Blonde with bangs and an elegant touch on her robe, they took Lea to the waiting room while her mother was taken to the observatory, after they confirmed that the blow had caused a serious contusion on her head they decided to treat the contusion and put some stitches so that the wound would close, suddenly a doctor came out of the room where her mother was and went to Lea to tell her how her mother’s observation had gone
-Are you Lea Dumont?-asked the doctor
-Yes, yes it’s me because, has something serious happened to my mother?-asked Lea
-I’m sorry to tell you that… your mother has received a strong contusion on the head and has been left in a coma, my most sincere condolences since this type of coma is very difficult to wake up but even so a year or some who wake up at ten years old oh others who… They won’t wake up even so we have to keep hope because above all else hope is the only thing that they won’t steal from us, you can steal our money, take our car, our house, our job, our identity but our hope that something will be fixed or improve no that is the only thing that is ours and that no one can steal from us so little one you keep hope- said the doctor, Lea didn’t know how to react she started to cry and thought what am I going to do now? Lea went home in a taxi while listening to the song she liked the most by her favorite singer Billie Eilish What Was I Made For? In the headphones, Lea had taken her mother’s bag home and they were looking at it when suddenly she found a note that said “Lea my love: if you are reading this it is because something bad has happened to me or is going to happen to me and I just want to tell you that you have to be strong and live your life, study, fall in love, have fun with your friends, this has been the best trip I have ever taken, a mother’s trip, I have learned, I have taught and I have loved and please…never forget me my love loves you very much Mom.”
Lea began to cry as soon as she finished reading her mother’s letter, and she couldn’t stop thinking about her on the way back home. As soon as she got home, Lea realized that the big black wolf was no longer in her house. As soon as she was convinced that she was alone in that house, she went to her mother’s room and despite the fact that she couldn’t stop crying, she managed to fall asleep but… THE NIGHTMARES BEGAN: Lea appeared in a dark, gloomy attic where the only source of light was a light bulb hanging from the ceiling. There was also a painting of a woman with brown hair and dark eyes like coal and a suit that… mmm looked like it was from the Salem witch era. The carpet on the floor was very dirty and damaged, the pillars were broken by the passage of time, but… That painting was intact, and… It wasn’t exactly new. Suddenly, the little light that there was vanished and Lea began to hear footsteps. “Is-is there anyone there?” Lea asked, terrified. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a woman’s voice. “Is there anyone there?” Lea asked, terrified. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a woman’s voice. “Is there anyone there?” Lea asked, terrified. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a woman’s voice. “Is there anyone there?” Lea asked, terrified. The woman in the painting disappeared and as soon as Lea turned around she saw that woman but… Her face was… Deformed, her eyes were completely black and very bulging, her mouth was disfigured and her nose… Was long, sharp and with a wart, she had almost no hair, and her face was wrinkled, she… Had a knife in her hand, she went towards Lea's mother, pulled her hair so that she would look at her face and, while she held her jaw she... cut her throat, Lea wanted to scream, she wanted to cry, but when she went to look at her hands, they weren't there, she wasn't there, suddenly Lea found herself in a dark and gloomy forest where the witch was also there, Lea began to follow the witch, until they reached a cabin, where the witch probably lived. - Who are you? And… WHY HAVE YOU KILLED MY MOTHER!?- Lea shouted at her. -Calm down Lea, I am good and evil, light and darkness, premonition and intuition, day and night, although you do not know my name now, you will know it in the future and… if I had not killed your mother in this DREAM, you would not have followed me here or let me explain myself- said the old woman. -A dream?- said Lea. -Yes, this is a dream, but first of all let me put you in context, is that how teenagers say it today?- the old woman mocked. -Many years ago, during the time of the witch hunt in Salem, there were two clans of witches, that of Light led by Medea and that of darkness led by Alarden, although before it was all one, just one clan, that was the clan of darkness, when Medea and Alarden led this clan, they were happily married but… when their eleventh wedding anniversary was over things started to go wrong they, who would never argue, started arguing but just six months later Medea found her husband Alarden cheating on her with the maid, so Medea out of hatred and desperation banished her husband Alarden and forced her royal guard to annihilate the maid, although… not all stayed with Medea some and by this I mean a few of Alarden's most loyal subjects went with him and after a few decades she grew up and became a witch her parents expected her to be from each father's clan but her daughter… her daughter was an unclaimed one and with unclaimed witches they are killed, in different ways hanging them, burning them, drowning them etc…., and all this I know not only because it is a dream but because I knew that daughter of Medea and Alarden since for a long time she was my mentor, and He taught me a lot, although it wasn't just my lie, we were also... More than friends, but that night of the full moon everything went wrong. Oh, of course! I haven't introduced myself, she said while waving her arms and transforming into that strange woman in the painting, the only difference was that... She had blue tips.she can wake up we have cases in which patients wake up after five daysles?-I’m Sabrina, a pleasure to read and this is my true form, I hope I haven’t scared you with my “dark” form so to speak, and look, this is for you- said Sabrina as she went to the bookshelf and took an old book with a black border-this one here, as strange as it sounds, is a monster guide because what bit you on the forearm is not a wolf or a dog and I am neither a human nor a dream because… I am a witch and probably what bit you was a werewolf- said Sabrina, A werewolf her? Well more like a werewolf but that wasn’t possible monsters don’t exist, or do they?-In this book there is a guide to helianthropy, the initiation to witchcraft, or, to sorcery and different types: voodoo, tarot, the arcane, the written… And all kinds of magic you can imagine then we also have ghostly guides, shape-shifting etc although well Lea I think it’s time to wake up- said Sabrina while snapping her fingers, at that very moment Lea woke up but… the strangest thing is that she woke up with the monster guide book, did that mean that Sabrina wasn’t wrong, that it hadn’t been a simple dream, but a premonition, and why was she telling her all that? Lea opened the book and a note appeared written on a kind of “old paper” it was very yellowed by the passage of time on it it said: Lea, I’m Sabrina and although it sounds strange I’m not in a very good situation but rather in a delicate one, so I came to ask you if you could help me, I have magic if you help me I could… help your mother wake up from a coma and don’t ask how I know but I would need help and fast because like that I’m really not very alive so I would need you to gather some types of ingredients that are more like stones “mystical” that help give more power to the person or revive them, first of all the list of ingredients is in a book called Tales of an Ancient Witch, in that book there is a small handwritten list of the ingredients that you need apart from the stones, well, a few sheets of paper, you know? It’s in Isabella’s bookstore in Bordeaux so before you go with your aunt you’ll have to stop by Bordeaux because if you help me I’ll help you, basically you revive me I’ll help your mother so she doesn’t die and then you have a little problem you’re not the only one looking for the stones and the ingredients, although the hardest thing to find are obviously the stones, it’s that “he” is also looking for the stones since as I told you before, they don’t revive him but they also give him more strength and that for him is what he requires the most, the most important thing is strength and power, but be careful not to go alone and if you ever run into “him” he instantly resembles who he is if he is in his monstrous form he is a…. Horrible and terrifying dintaur, but this instauro is different, it is more powerful, it has horns full of poison and claws that just by touching you could kill you and I know all this because I believed it, it was my fault that all this happened, what was wrong and he did the rest, he killed me and I cursed him so that I would revive and I could kill him, no one else, not death by old age or suicide or anything, just me, that would be my perfect revenge, if you help me we could do it together and remember if you don’t do it in the lives of your friends, your mother and even yours and the lives of millions of people would be in danger, I hope you choose well Sabrina. Lea thought about the options Sabrina gave her, if she helped her she could help her mother and prevent her from dying, so Lea made up her mind, she decided that even if it could be a horrible and difficult path, she would do what she could to help her mother and she swore that NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS, SHE WOULD FIND THE ONE WHO RUN OVER HER MOTHER, AND SHE WOULD MAKE HIM PAY FOR EVERYTHING.
