|| Chapter 21 || Anti's Diary

Dear Diary,

Your all I have to talk I feel. My mother gave me this notebook to write in that way I'd leave her alone so I guess I should keep track of important things that I want to remember. My handwriting isn't good since I've only ever learned from books but I guess as long as I can still read it its fine. 

Anyways, my name is Anti. I live in a peaceful farm village with my mother and I never knew my father for what little I was told about him is that he left before I was born. See, I was born with the power to control different elements and use all shorts of magic. My mother never approved of the magic though...she calls it evil.

My mother never lets me go outside because of it, saying I must always stay inside and hidden. I even had a special corner in which she always tells me to stay in so I am out of her line of sight. She never really talks to me either, when she does she usually calls me stupid or tells me I'm nothing. I don't mind though for I love her voice. Its beautiful.

Dear Diary,

Today my mother fell asleep while doing needle work by the fireplace (somewhere I'm never allowed to go near while she's there). I took this as my chance to go outside and explore the village like I always wished to do. I was careful not to wake her as I opened the door and ran outside bare foot.

I didn't mind the cold as I only laughed it off. I was finally out in the world, somewhere I have longed to be. I ran around, kicking snow and spinning around. People looked at me like I was crazy, most not even knowing who I was from the looks. I didn't care at the time.

...It wasn't until a group of kids my age came, making fun of me. At first I tried to ignore it but it didn't stop. They'd laugh and push me around...I never imagined they'd treat me like they did. I always saw them playing together from the window of my house, always thinking they'd welcome me if they ever meet. I was wrong though.

They beat me and not one person wished to be on my side. They told me I was nothing just like mother does. I was scared and tried to get away from them but I couldn't. One grabbed me by the neck and I couldn't breath. I was trapped.

I didn't realize it at the time but I used my magic without trying nor thinking. My hands turned hot as fire and I burnt the arms of the kid holding them around my neck. They dropped me and when I stood, they all looked scared. One kid called me a witch. Why would he call me a 'witch'? I've never heard anything like it but after he yelled it, they all ran off in a hurry as I rushed to my own home. 

...Mother screamed at me for leaving and said she wished they would have killed me...

Dear Diary,

Something horrid has happened today, something I shall never forget...Mother was killed! These villagers came to our house in the middle of the night, screaming and yelling the words 'witch' like the kid did.

I didn't understand when a group of people tied mother to a wooden post outside with many logs under it. I only stood there in front and watched crying, wanting my mother even though she was right there in front of me. I was so scared, scarier than I was when the kids beat me.

I remember her looking down at me, her green eyes meeting mine. She spoke, clear as day even though people were yelling all around us.

"Oh stop your crying Anti," she told me harshly," you were a weak child from the moment you were born and if I only would have killed you then it would have all been over with..."
