Chapter 7: Enchantress

Areshia Ashley Mondragon POV:

"Why are you reading this my lady?" Loraine said while putting down the mop in the floor. She's been cleaning the whole day of my room but I didn't help her. I was too focus with something, and it had to do with my new found ability. I kept on dreaming about it. No matter how I tried to forget it; but it always appeared in my dreams, it always hunts me. How I'm supposed to understand myself if I can't explain what's happening on me? There so much questions inside my head and I want to know what is it?

"I'm just curious about something. Why is it bad to read this?" I point the book of witches, fairies and all magical creatures that I found in some rusty shelf. I get all of it but sad to say Loraine already got me and I have no chance in reading those books that I collected in the library.

"Yes my lady. If the emperor will found out that you were reading this stuffs, he will punish you. So stop reading it. I'm just giving you an advise you may wish to know. Magic is prohibited in the castle. No one should practice it except...." She pauses after realizing what she said.

"Except who?" I said in confused look. She couldn't look at me straight in the eyes.

"Cedric hate it very much. Warlock is very dangerous to our kind. They slave us at any cost, you should remember that my lady." She didn't answer my question first instead; she gave me another answer that definitely add another confusion in my head.

"Who's Cedric?" I asked her. She pauses after hearing my question.

"Well, he's part of the guards...." She said slowly trying to low down her voice to avoid someone who might heard her. She gets the book in my hands and took it with her. I really don't know why they hated warlock and powers? I keep asking that question in my head. There must be a solid reasoned for it. My skills are threat to everyone? I should lie low in using it. I began to wonder what got into me to possess that kind of talents.

All I could remember is nothing. Nothing in my life I was able to make it. I remembered something, something in that strange book change my whole life. The day I used my magic with the two ladies. With the same day; I pore the blood in the cover page, I opened that book of spell of magic and that's how it started.

I hurriedly go to my drawer wanting to see what's going on with that book that I left four days ago. I opened it and to my shock the empty book fill in with three Latin sentences that I myself spoke. I can't believe I was able to produce those. I hold my bedroom trying to get some strength there. I slump in the floor and begun to cry. I was so scared. So scared.... How I'm supposed to hide this?

"My lady? Why are you crying?" She said in a worried tone. She goes into me and I sob in her arms. I was so hopeless that I couldn't hide my tears. I shake my head trying to hide my emotions in there. I wipe my tears fast so she wouldn't mind at all.

"It will be alright... just trust me my lady."

I tried to believe with her words and stop from crying. I know there's a reasoned for it. And I believe in my heart that GOD will guide me.

"Thank you for comforting me...Loraine. You are so good to me."

"Its nothing." I feel like she's my mother when she done that to me. Since I didn't know how to be comforted by my own mother. All my life I grew up in the orphanage and I don't know what it felt like to have a mother. I lost them since I was a baby. The nun always told me that my parents died in an accident. And so I believe in it without any evidence.

"Now sleep. Don't waste your energy for crying. You have a long day ahead." She said while turning off the candle in my side. I just lay in my bed trying my best to get some sleep. Maybe it will help me to relieve my stress for a moment. I cuddle my pillow just to feel warm inside my body.
