Family Connections

                    Its been a few months since everything With my parents. I still don't know who is this Baldrick guy is but I'll find out sometime. As of now I'm thinking of Callie's birthday so i got to plan her something big for her 18th birthday. this Friday is her party and I won't miss it for the world. It's alittle bigger party then mine was so people are going to bring dates, I've asked Aden to go with me. No we are not dating we are just friends kind of, he isn't very talkative so I don't know a lot about him.

                    The party was amazing! there was like 200 people in the place, and the music was good and very loud. Everyone was danceing and having fun, I even shared some songs with Aden and Mark as well as a few others from the rugby team. Then it came time for Callie's big birthday cake, then all hell broke lose. the lights were going ape shit and everyone was trying to hide. I stood there remembering what happened to me on my birthday. When i looked at what time it was, it was a little past 12. "holy shit," I tought to myself, could she be a witch too? From the corner I saw this 3 big guys, too old to be from our high school walk over to me.

                     "Where is the girl this party is for?" one said with a voice that sounded like he hasn't gotten lucky in sometime. I tried to think of something to say as fast as I can.

                     "Umm I gotta start a dance off gotta go," I said right before i ran away from them as smooth as I could. after that everything stayed normal after that. Well as normal as a party can be after lights flickering like it was the end of the damn world.

                    The next day my grandmother sat me down with her and callie's parents. They said how they saw the lights and they told me that she was a witch. I was ok with that, that's what I was thinking anyway. But, they looked at eachother with that weird should we say something face. Then they looked back at me, I seemed like forever before anyone said anything.

                   "Darling we have someting to tell you, it has to do with.....," My grandmother was cut off by system of a down. 

                  "Sorry It's my cell," I said.

                  "Get it we'll wait right here," Callie's mother said to me. I went to the other room to answer it, it was Callie. She told me how things have been going really weird for her and she had a very weird dream not unlike the dream I had when I first got my powers. She asked if I can go for a walk with her since she is feeling very weird about everything. I told the "council" about it and they said I can go. When I saw her we spoke about what was bothering her, but all I can be thinking about was what my grandmother and callie's parents were going to tell me.

                 The next day there was another meeting. This time I asked if they can get straight to the point just incase santa or the easter bunny think of calling me.

                "We are not who you think we are," Callie's parents told me.

                "What are you really secret spies or something?" I replied and they smiled at that, I didn't find it as funny.

               "Well, no we are not Callie's parents," They said.

               " Wait what then who are?" I asked.

              " Well......your parents are," They said after a few minutes.

               "wait what can we hit rewind so I can hear that again I think I missed something," I said. They told me how after I was born baldrick said that if he finds out that they have another child that he will put a curse on them, so when Callie was born they gave her to the Atkins who are also in to magic just as my family is. It took sometime to get used to the idea that Callie is my sister. However, Callie didn't take it so as well, she kind of ran out crying.
