Steph's Curse

Chapter 8

I woke up coughing. I slowly opened my eyes and I couldn't see and my eyes were burning!
Smoke! William! My thoughts shouted to him.
You know what? I have a voice for a reason!
"William!" My words choked out of my mouth.
"William!" Tears began streaming down my face.
I closed my eyes and concentrated...
Show me William.
I saw William in his room. I ran through the fire, extinguishing beneath my feet.
"Spell of Protection!" I yelled.
Soon the fire did not hurt me. I ran through even faster and I found Williams room.
"William! Wake-Up!" I pushed his door down and saw he was underneath a part of the room.
"Spell of Healing Magic!" My hands began glowing a pale blue. I wove them over William and hoped he was okay.
Levitate... I used my hands to pick up the roof, and it hurt.
I must be using to much magic...
"Spell of Teleportation!" I yelled and we were outside.
"William!" I was shaking him, hoping he would wake up...
"William?" I whispered.
I searched for a pulse. Good, he still has one.
I picked up William and gave him a piggyback ride. He was sleeping, but I don't think that his sleep is good.
I started to make my way to the closest village to try to save Williams life.
——————————————————————
It was the middle of the night when I left for the village. Now it's nearly dawn.
I can see the small village in the distance.
"Hello? Can someone please help my friend?" I shouted.
I continued to carry William towards the village. Soon, a man in his middle thirtys ran towards me.
"Is this who needs help?" He asked slightly out if breath.
"Yes, can you help him? Our house caught on fire and collapsed on him, I used my healing magic-" Why mouth, why can't you keep secrets.
"Well, that might have helped. But you need medical experience to find out what's wrong with him." He stated calmly.
"Wait, are you completely disregarding the fact I'm a witch?" I asked nervously.
"No, in fact I'm curious. Someone who has those types of power could become powerful. But why in a little girl?" He said.
"Um, do you realize that I'm thirteen?" I said annoyed.
"Yes, but you are still a little girl." He said plainly.
"Are you going to kill me? What are your plans?" I asked.
"No, just forget I ever met you... Princess Stephanie. That's what you do, right?" He said smugly.
"Um..." I stood there shocked.
"You use the memory wipe spell. You don't need your secret getting out, do you." He continued.
"Well, are you going to help him or point out who I am?" I asked. William started to get heavier, I probably shouldn't carry someone a few miles with not even half a nights rest.
The man helped William, but he doesn't know Williams identity. That's a plus.
"Oh, my name is Fredrick." He stated out of nowhere.
"Ok, Fredrick." I replied.
—————————————————————
It was nearly nightfall when I stepped outside.
How did he know right away who I was?
That question want far from my thoughts.

Does everybody know my face? Or is it more complex than that...
