Rose

chapter 3(edited)

Hazel walked around to a place which held brown leather books and pulled one out flipping through it before putting it back and doing the same to the next one. "What are you doing?" I ask as I twist my sword into the wood floor creating a dent in the floor as my legs dangle around it  from the table I was sitting on. "Looking through these books to see if there is anyway you can get out of here." I gasp and shot up my sword forgotten on the floor. "I know how, and all you have to do is say a certain something." I say thinking about how happy I was that I was so close to getting out of this awful place. She nods and tells me, "Tell me what it is when we are at the gate." I nod my head as I grab my sword and we walk out of the ancient library. As we start walking towards my tomb to get my battle gear stuff Hazel speaks up. "I have a proposition." I glance at her before amwsering, "What is it?" She looks down at her nails as we walk closer to my tomb before looking up. "I want to get to know anything. Even if you can't remember. Something that happened in the past 20 years." I furrow my eyebrows before replying. "So what is your proposition?"

"Ok so you ask me 3 questions and I do the same for you." She says. I think for a moment before saying"Seems easy enough"

"So my questions are how old are you? Do you have any special talents? And do you know your last name?"she asked as she looked at me.

"Well for the last one it's a no, I look 18 years old I guess but I don't know really how old I am."

"My headstone didn't even have my birth date so I don't even know about my life."

"And my talent, I can feel people moods and control their moods around me." She nods. I had found out my talent when a ghost was getting really angry and I calmed him down by just thinking of him calm and it worked. Anyway I then asked her my 3 questions.

~Hazel

"Ok, how old are you, what's your special talent, and do you have family."

"Well I am 17 years old, my special talent is to see ghosts, and through the mist since I see you and other spirits. As for family no, No family."

Rose smiles sadly again, and I can see in her eyes that she is thinking about that memory. I really want to help her out. She deserves a family that I've never had. Even though I just met her it seems like I've known her forever.

I also see her playing with the necklace she's had since she woke up here.

She shakes her head and smiles slightly before dropping the pretty rose pendant.

"So how did you get your gift." she asked I smile and say,

"Well all my life I actually been wondering that, neither of my parents, or grandparents, or even great grandparents.

I did find out that my great great grandmother was actually a witch and could see ghosts."

"As I was reading, this ability I have comes with some powers from her.

It says that my powers will unlock on my 18th birthday, which is in a few weeks."

I murmur the last part almost to myself. "What was your grandmothers name?" she asked quietly. I said, "Arabella"

~Rose

I can not believe my ears. Her grandmother is from the story. "Hazel I have to tell you the story of your great great grandmother." I sigh as I say this.

"We all know of the story of your grandmother, or Arabella as they called her. She is like a legend to the witches.

They all loved her, ghosts and witches/warlocks especially. She was kind, caring, and different from other witches.

Though one day the ghosts and witches/warlocks got attacked."

"Many of them died but some of ghost disappeared before any one of them got hurt. The people released a gas into the air changing the ghost into a human form and killed them.
Some of them got away from the help of Arabella."

"She was one of the strongest witches back then so she held them off for as long as she could.

But when she tried to run they caught her, and sold her to some other people. We all wondered were she went."

When I looked up , Hazel had tears in her eyes. She took a deep breath and asked calmly,

"Who were the attackers."

I look down and try to remember who the attackers were.

"Hunters."

She nods but then says "Well...come on we got to get out of here."
I was so happy. I stopped and said,
"I'm trying to find out about my family."

She smirks and says,"I can help you with that."

I must have had a confused look face because she say, "Come on I'll show you."
