The Witch Next Door

Chapter 27

Winter stood there, breathing heavily. I was struggling, trying to get out of the cold ice that's was pressing me against yet another ice wall.

I'm pretty damn tired of getting pinned to a wall.

"Impossible," Winter finally blurted. She say up more. "You're not my dad."

"I am, Winter." Maiden stated.

"How can you be my father?!" Winter asked. She turned to me and stuck her hands out and closed them into fists. The ice that was holding me to the ice wall broke, and I fell down on all fours. I started to moan in pain.

"Your mother and I were once in love, she left your father for sometime after she had Alex." Maiden explained. Winter turned around and put her hands out in the direction Alex was. She closed her hands tight, and the ice that froze Alex shattered. He fell to the ground like I did, but he started to cough his lungs out.

"She'd never fall for a guy like you." Winter snapped as she looked back at Maiden. He nodded.

"But she did. That's why you have my power. To control all ice and snow." She started to breathe heavily.

"Don't believe him, Winter." Alex coughed. She swallowed hard.

"If you come with me, you're safe from the government! And I'll teach you how to be as powerful as me!" Maiden yelled. She stood there, staring at him.

"Winter!" Alex yelled. She turned to him.

And her eyes turned a bright blue, and she didn't look happy.

"You can call me Winter Maiden." I swallowed hard.

"Think about what your doing, Winter Meg." Alex said as he got up from the ground. She put her hands up on her sides, and the blue flame came out of her hands. Alex chuckled.

"You're going to be like that, aren't you?" Alex asked. She just stood there, staring at him.

"Kill them." Maiden said, crossing his arms.

"Yes, father."
