I never felt welcome in my coven or how my mother would say,"family", because they never accepted me the way I am, just because I'm a little bit ...different.
My mother isn't really better, she always tried to hide me from the other kids in our basement when I was younger.
I never really understood why but one day the worst thing I could think of happened.
-
I was 18 now and my mother still wasn't a „perfect" or even a fair mother.
The coven described me as the black sheep and literally every one of them tried to ignore the fact that I existed.

My mother never really let me out of the house not only because she was embarrassed of me but also because I was "dangerous".
I was born with an ability to absorb the magic of other witches.
But only if they attack me with it.

Someday I walked through the forest that we live in, because thats the only time that I don't feel like I'm unwanted or judged by everyone.
When I'm there, alone, I feel like I'm in my own bubble were no one can hurt or disturb me.
I know every corner every tree even every little rock in this forest, but there is one cave, I somehow never went in to.

But on this day something was different, I was different, I felt like something in this cave is whispering my name.
Like it's calling me and I can hear it from everywhere.
I first tried to ignore it but I was to curious, because I haven't heard someone call my name in ages.
So I gave in and wandered to the dark big black cave that I was kind of scared of.
Every step that I got closer to that cave, the whispers got a little bit louder, I tried to turn around and run away but my body moved on its on, like I was on a weird spell that I couldn't control my body anymore.

The cave was now in my sight, my body still moved forward and I was freaking out but I couldn't do anything.
It was always the same thing that i heard: „ Agathaaa Harknesss" in a weird creepy dark raspy voice tone.
It got louder and louder and I thought that this is gonna be the last day of my life and no one would even care.

My body finally stopped right in front of the cave but something was different.
I've stood here so many times and thought about going in but this time I felt like my life is ending the moment I step a foot into that cave.
But then something weird happened, I saw a purple light coming out of the cave.
It was so bright and beautiful.

I don't know how but in this moment I wasn't scared anymore, that purple light gave me a kind of comfort like I've never felt before.
After this feeling I completely forgot why I was scared and I just walked inside the cave, to the light that was brighter and brighter every step that I made.
I didn't even hear my name being called anymore I only saw that light that somehow felt like home.
And then I saw from what that light came.
I was very confused because it was a book.
A weird old looking book.
It had no title and I've never saw it before.
But the moment that I picked it up everything changed.
It was like through every vein in my body the feeling of power flowed.
I opened my eyes and I never felt like the person I was a few seconds ago ever again.
