"Why!" I cried as my mother harshly grabbed me, practically dragging me through the woods.
"Adeline, I told you already, don't ask too many questions." She scolded, I cried out and tried to make her let go of me, but to no avail.
"Mom, I swear I'll be good, I'll be good. Why are you doing this to me? I haven't done anything wrong!!!" I screamed trying to appease her thoughts.
"It's not what you've done. It's what you will do." She said, not going into detail about my apparent destiny.
I kept quiet after that. What will I do? What does she mean? My powers haven't even come in yet, was I not good enough for the community? Most kids powers come at the age of 6. Why hasn't mine? Why is she not answering any of my questions? Why is she dragging me through the woods?
"Here." My mother said and let go of me. I watched in horror as she pulled out a red ruby crystal.
"No, mom! No! You can't put me somewhere! I won't let you!" I cried trying to run back the same way we came but I felt myself being flung towards her, her magic encasing me in a stoic expression.
"This is the best for everyone." She said laying the rock down, she started chanting and I just stared blankly, her magic making me weak.
"Please mother," I say softly as a door rumbled out of the ground.
"Adeline honey, please listen to me. I am doing this to protect you, if any witch gets their hands on you, it won't be nice. Look, go through this door and you will find a house. That is where you'll be staying. I will try and visit, but I can't promise anything. Now go, before someone sees us." She said letting her magic dissipate back into her. I nodded meekly and wiped the tears from my face.
"I love you, honey." Was the last thing I heard before I was sucked into the door.
Now I realized my fate, I've been shunned.
