I got out of the room and raced as far as my legs could lead me . I was aiming at out running my rage. I ran till I felt my legs get sore. I looked around and I was back to where Carl and I had been earlier today. I sat down by the bank and started crying out my rage. I cried till my eyes could no longer cry and I just sat there staring at the water. It was still beautiful even in the night.
"Ivy!" I heard someone calling me.
" Ivy please if you are there, say something " said Carl. "Am here"I said grabbing his attention.
"Oh God, have been looking for you everywhere. It is so cold out here, do you want to catch a cold" he said covering me with a blanket he came with.
"Look, am sorry for what mother said " he said sitting next to me.
"Don't be sorry, maybe am a witch"I said.
"Is it okay if I tell you what happened to my mother"I said.
"Sure, it's fine" he said.
"My mother believed in magic but all she said she lost hers when she betrayed her dad for my father but I didn't believe her. She said she knew mine was stronger than anyone could imagine, that I was special and she was always training me and I got tired of cause I never saw the magic. So..."
"It's okay, am listening"
" So this one day during practice my head felt so heavy . And, not forgetting to mention that my mother was pregnant.  I don't know what happened Carl, and that's the worst part of it all"I said and broke into tears again.
"It's okay, don't cry"said Carl pulling me into his embrace.
"When my head became okay, there was blood everywhere, my mother's body was in taters and scattered all over the room.  I had killed my mother Carl, and my unborn sibling"I sobbed the more.
I cried l think until I fell asleep in Carl's embrace.
