Kylie and the secret of the darkness #Wattys2017

10

"Okay, but I want to hear that, I love this story!" a voice says, it was a boy, obviously dressed like everyone here, but I think he is nice.
"Well, let me present myself, I am Aeron Grimitus, I am Ginevra's grandson, and I am a wizard, just like everyone in this town"

I found out that I felt well, so I stand up and present myself too

"Well, nice to meet you Aeron, I am Kylie"
"Kylie, I know who you are"
"Okay, now explain me everything, because I am so tired of everybody knowing me, and I don't knowing nobody" I say while making the other laugh a little

"Kylie, sit down" Ginevra says

I must admit that her house is so lovely, I feel more confortable and confident in here than in my old house.
We sit on the sofas, there where two amaranth sofas and a bordeaux armchair in front of the two sofas, and those where divided by a little wood table with a tea mug on it.

"Well, Kylie, first of all, welcome to Serphe Lane, the only town where people with magical features live" Tom starts
"Thank you so much for telling me, but what should I do in here?"
"Keep calm, we are telling"
"You are right, I must keep calm, or I won't understand nothing" I say, I feel so relaxed

"Kylie, you should know that a long time ago, in here and in the human world there weren't contacts, we were staying here, and they were staying there. I was so young at that time, and so your parents were" Ginevra says
"Wait, you knew my parents?"
"Yes, and also very well, they were my favourite people to spend time with at that time"
"So they used to live in here?"
"Yes, I suppose that you understood that they were wizards"
"Yes, go on"
"Everything was alright, until a wizard, August The Terrible, started to be more powerful, so he also started to want more power and..."

Ginevra takes a deep breath.

"...and he created a secret army, to take the power from the most powerful source of magic: The Midnight Lake; we the ministry discovered that, created an army like August to fight him, in this army there was me, your parents and all the most powerful good wizards, like Aeron's parents"
"So that means that I am a wizard too" I said understanding everything, but just one thing was missing
"Ginevra, when I first met you, you told me that Vitiligo was important, why?"
"Kylie, you have it on your eyes, Tom on his arm, Agatha on her neck, Aeron on his stomach and I have it on my ear: everyone who lives here or is originally from here has it, it's very important, from it derives the character of the people, and if something should go wrong with it, you could die"

There is silence, broken by Agatha

"Kylie, you have to promise that..." I cut her off and continue her sentence
"I won't deny my origins, I will fight August, but you have to help me with the spells and the potions"
"No problem, there is a school and you will come with us there" Tom answers
"Oh, and you are new here, the city's responsible has to see you, but there will be a ceremony" Aeron says
"No problem, how does it work?"
"You have to put your cloack and the hood on and stay there on the street, there will be so many people, but at the sides of the street; then the responsible will tell you what to do, we have done it, it is easy" Agatha tells me
"Okay, you have seen him or her?"
"No, it changes for every person" Tom says
"Okay"
"Kylie put your cloack and your hood on, it's starting, just follow me and then do what the responsible asks" Ginevra says
"Yes, let's go out"

We are out. There are a lot of people at the sides of the street and I can feel their eyes on me, but I don't turn around to look at them; there is a deep silence, I imagine that just the responsible will talk.
I hear footsteps and Ginevra whisper me:"Kylie, it's time, you must talk only if he or she asks, ok? She will ask you to do some magic, just do what you feel to do"
"Have you said she?"
"Yes, now I have to go stay here and do what she asks"
"Okay Ginevra"

"Good luck" I hear, I turn my head a little and I notice that's from Agatha, so I smile back.

It's starting.

A person dressed like me is at one metre from me and we are like statues, nobody moves; another person takes between us a goblet with water in it.

"Take off your hood, young girl" the mysterious woman in front of me says

I take my hood off so everyone could see me, and I continue looking at the woman with the hood on

"Approach yourself to the goblet and take the wand" she continues

I look at Ginevra and then I go and take the wand

"Now go back where you were" she says

I go back, I must say that I was a bit scared and I didn't know any spells, so I don't know how I could do magic

"Defend yourself!" she screams

Then the water went out from the goblet up to the sky to go back to me, I don't know what to do, I am confused, but for sure I don't want to be wet, I have to discover Serphe Lane first.

By instinct I knew that I had to scream something, so I screamed "Numen Aquis!" putting in the sky the wand, and the water came back to the goblet; everyone is staring at me and I am looking in a deeper way the woman, who is there, like frozen.

"Good, what's your name?" She asks
"I am Kylie Smith"
"Oh, so you are the one who will save us"
"Take off your hood and let me know who you are"
"You will be surprised" she says

She takes off her hood and Tom and Agatha come to my sides because they are shocked just like me.

"Is she really?" Tom whispers
"Yes, I think so" Agatha answers

Guys, I want to say that the cast must be completed, if you have seen it you must know that those people will be in the cast, but it must be completed.
