Living With The Half-Bloods

CHAPTER 27: An Illusion, right?

"Can't you really go inside with me?This place gives me the creeps." I whined, tugging on Zach's sleeve.

"If you don't want me to explode into tiny bits, then I suggest you just let me stay here." He said smiling.

I rolled my eyes at him and started walking up to the Witch's headquarters where Professor Esadora is,honestly, I like calling her Esadora more.

I took baby steps as I entered the house, I remembered the first time I set my foot here and Adeline almost killed me, next time she sees me, she won't think twice. The house was neat and filled with light from the windows.

"Oh, Ramona dear, you didn't tell me that you were here already." Esadora said with her normal, fidgety self.

"It's Rania actually." I spoke softly as I smiled at her.

"Whatever you say Rina, anyway,you're here because I have to give you something." Her voice was high pitched and energetic as she lead me to her office.

She made me sit down as she rummaged through her cabinets. After a few minutes her head bopped and she gave me a weird smile.

"Here it is." She half yelled.

She handed me a black rectangular box,I took it softly from her hands and opened it, laying down on a soft layer of foam is a long, black, wooden object. A wand. It looked enchanting, with intricate designs engraved on it.

"That was your mothers wand. Your father left it to me with Adeline, it had a message, it said that I should give it to the one who needs it the most. Bad thing you have to use it against your sister." She frowned.

I held the wand tightly, I felt familiar with it, like it was made for my hand. I studied it then I knew, that this is one of the most powerful wands on earth. We studied this in History. There were only 2 powerful wands made by a mischievous wizard who wished chaos to the world of witches. The Dark and the Light wand, it could only be activated by the most powerful witches who matched it. This one that I'm holding is the light.Honestly, I never even knew that these wand existed, what scared me is that if I have one, it's possible for Addie to have one too.

"Why do I have this? Isn't this supposed to be with the most powerful White Witch?" I asked returning the wand on the table and I pushed it away like I don't have any interest on it.

"It should but when the most Powerful White Witch, your Mothers mentor grew old and felt that she couldn't carry on her responsibilities, she chose your Mom and gave it to her,but since your Mom has been missing and let go of the wand, you own it, meaning currently you are..."

"The most powerful White Witch." I finished Esadora's sentence for her.

I didn't know if I should be proud or scared.

"I always knew Adeline would turn out like this, I tried to stop it, poor child." She suddenly spoke,turning her back to me and staring outside the window. "I saw how the Darkness slowly consumed her, how she tried to stop it from envading her life and how it affected her health, she couldn't take it anymore and the Dark realm offered her a throne, she didn't have a choice." Esadora looked at me.

"I'm sorry Professor Esadora, but Adeline had a choice, and her choice was to be a weapon for lots of murder." I said in a loud voice, I shoved the box containing the wand inside my backpack and I walked away out of the house like a child having a tantrum, leaving Esadora in a shocked state.

"Hey, cool down. What's happening?"Zach steadied me by holding my shoulders.

"Nothing, I just, I can't fight my own sister." I said not wanting to look Zach in his eye.
