Chapter 3





"Actually I think you need to tell me what's going on!" I yelled back. She didn't say anything she was just frozen there.

"Why can I do all of this? Why can I make something move? And I don't even know what happened right now in my room!" I yelled. Then I heard Josh's faint voice from a distant.

"I'll be right back Scarlett" my mom said. She left my room and went downstairs. I was still sitting down on the floor I looked beside me and saw a note and a heart shaped necklace.


Hope you liked the spell and the necklace

-Matt .K

The spell? What is going on? I heard thumping noises, my mom was coming back up the stairs I quickly hid the necklace and note under a pillow.

"Scarlett before you get mad I need to tell you something very important" she said.

"Your hiding something from me! And I want the truth or I'll get it from someone else" I said angrily.

"Fine. I'll tell you the truth but its going to be a lot to take in" she said.

"Okay fine I don't care I want the truth" I said.

"Your... a witch." She said calmly.

"Excuse me?" I said.

"Don't act all surprised what else were you expecting me to say?" She said meanly.

"Stop it! This is just one big joke right? To get me back, you and Josh just made this whole thing up!" I said starting to break into tears.

"It's true. Your a witch, it's runs in your family blood line" she said.

"My family?? You are a witch?" I said getting scared. She shook her head "no"

"Mom! Stop it your freaking me out! Your my mom your supposed to be nice not mean!" I said crying.

"News flash, I'm not your mom" she said. I gave a confused look.

"What? Stop it! No! No! Who are you!" I said crying and screaming at the top of my lungs.

"I'm Amy Whitler" Amy said. I don't even know who she was anymore, the person I have been living with my whole life, disappeared within 10 minutes. I sat down on my bed taking this all in, she sat beside me and started rubbing my back.

"Don't touch me" I said sternly. "I only want to help you Scarlett" she said.

I started freaking out. "Where's my real parents? My real family. Who are you? Is Josh even my brother?" "Calm down your questions will be answered when you wake up. "Huh? Wha-" my eye lids started getting heavy and I reached my hand towards my back were she had been rubbing it, I felt a sticky texture that stung my hand, then I blacked out.


*******

"Mom, where's Scarlett?" Asked Josh.

"Oh honey she's not feeling well right now" Amy lied. Josh continued playing with his toys, while Amy left the house.

She went into her backyard and turned a knob on the shed door, she opened it and vanished.


"Welcome back Amy" said the deep voice.

"She has received her powers, I told her what she is, but she's uh sleeping now" Amy said.

"Bring her here to the institute we will explain everything to her, but she can not find out about Skyler, and who is really is" said a soft voice.

Amy nodded and headed out the door she had came in through. Amy returned back at the shed and she entered the house ignoring her own son Josh. "Josh, Scarlett is really sick I'm taking her to the hospital" Amy lied again.

She went up the stairs and lifted up Scarlett who was about 105 pounds. She dragged Scarlett into the back of the car and drove away.



*******

"Shhhh. Everyone she's waking up now" said a woman. Everyone stopped talking. I slightly opened one of my eyes, but it was too bright to see anything. The bed I was laying in was slowly lifting up making me sit up straight. I opened my eyes and there was a bunch of people in front of me starring at me.

"Someone better start telling me what's going on here" I told them. At that moment a large man with blond hair walked in. "Sweetie they're only doctors they don't know anything" he laughed.
"Go wash up and I'll tell you everything you wish to know" he said. I nodded and got of the chair, I walked towards the sink and washed my face with slightly warm water. I looked down and noticed I wasn't in my own clothes, I was wearing a plain grey dress that was really ugly looking. I looked around the room and found my clothes in a cupboard, I went into the washroom and changed back into them. I noticed that the man had left, so I walked out the doors and found myself in a long narrow hallway with one door at the end. I walked down slowly and turned the knob, beyond the door was a large circular room that was nearly pitch black. I saw 3 dark figures in a dark long robe covering their body and face. All 3 of them were sitting up high in three chairs aligned with each other, the middle one stood up and took its hood off, it was the large man with blonde hair.

"Hello Scarlett, I see your back in your own clothes" he said. I nodded, not really wanting to talk.
"Am I really a witch?" I managed to say. All three of them nodded at the same time which wasn't creepy at all. The one at the right end started to speak.

"We are the council, we keep things in order for the human world" said a soft girl voice.

"So if I'm a witch what am I doing here?" I asked.

"Well you thought you were a human 3 hours ago" said a deep voice.

"When you were younger you and your sister got separated from your witch pack" said the blonde guy.

"I have a sister?! Where is she can I see her?" I asked curiously.

"I'm sorry Scarlett but she's dead. While you two were trying to survive you were attacked by vampires" said the girl. "What! Vampires? They exist?" I asked.
"Yes" they all said at the same time.

"All mythical creatures you used to hear about on Halloween, they are real" said the deep voice.

"Even werewolves?" I asked.

"No, they became extinct over a million years ago" said the girl.

"Your blood line of witches is one of the strongest most powerful magic there is, we want to help you control those powers" said the blonde guy.

"Oh yea just like how my mom-- Amy wanted to help me" I said.
"She did care about you, after the attack from the vampires Amy and her clan found you and she took you in as her own daughter" said the blonde guy.

"Then why didn't she tell me any of this? I've been clueless my whole life!" I yelled.

"Well then she completed her job, you weren't supposed to figure this all out, it was for your own protection, if you or anyone else found out that you were a White Witch you would have been in danger" said the deep voice.

"And what exactly is a White Witch?" I said.

"It's a type of witch that can do anything for good or evil, they are pretty much unstoppable and you are still young so many people would be after you. There isn't a lot of White Witches either, only a few" said the girl.

"If you wanted to protect me and wanted me to be safe why didn't you return me back to my family? I thought you guys were like the ones that even nature out I'm sure you could've returned me" I said.

"Yes. And that's a mistake the council has made." Said the blonde guy.

"Starting next week you will be going to an all witch school, so you can train and be more powerful" said the girl.

"Amy will show you the way back home, remember don't tell anyone and stay safe" said the deep voice.

"Can I have an arrangement? I would not like to be taken back by Amy. I do not trust her. Plus it's for my own safety" I said.

"Fine. George the doctor will take you back" said the blonde.

George walked in and showed me the door that led me to my backyard shed. I said bye to George and walked in the door and saw Josh there playing with his toys. I smiled at him and went up to my room. They said not to tell anyone, but I don't exactly trust them, I lifted up my pillow and picked up the note and necklace. If there was anyone I could trust it was him.
