The Present

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

             "Mom, I need to talk to you and Dad." Evelyn ran down the stairs, knowing that her mom had just come back from work. Her perfect, wavy, brown hair bounced up and down. Her ocean blue eyes, showing kindness and love. 

                "Sure sweetie, where is Dad now?" Veronica questioned, throwing her briefcase to the ground. Veronica is a lawyer, and Max is a doctor, so obviously your family is wealthy. 

                 "Oh, he's in his office working on some files." Evelyn replied. 

                 "Okay. We'll meet you in the living room in about 5 minutes." Veronica responded as she hurried towards Max's office. 

                Evelyn sat down on the brown, leather couch, right in front of the TV. 'Okay Evelyn. You got this, you can tell them!' Evelyn thought to herself. 'They won't make a big deal out of it. It's not that much of a situation!' Evelyn wondered as they walked in together through the doorway. 

               "What's going on sweetie?" Max asked curiously, as he sat down on the cream, leather couch next to Veronica.

                    "Well..." Evelyn hesitated. "These really strange things have been happening to me. Like this one point when I was sitting in my room doing homework, and I wanted water but my bottle was on the other side of the room," Evelyn was talking so fast, she couldn't even understand herself. "So I pretended to use the force, but it actually came to me." She got straight to the point. "Then in school I was getting out of the bathroom stall, and I turned on the water without even touching it! And this other time---"   Evelyn was interrupted by her Mom and Dad looking at each other with concern looks. "Look, I know you think I'm crazy but I'm not! You have to believe me!" Evelyn cried.

                 "We believe you honey!" Veronica and Max said in unison.

                  "I KNEW this would happ--. Wait, WHAT! You believe me, thank god!" Evelyn let out a breath she was holding in. 

                  "Evelyn, sweetie, there's something we've been meaning to tell you." Veronica said anxiously. "You're a wizard... SURPRISE!" 

                 "WHAT! YOU HAD 11 YEARS TO TELL ME, AND YOU TELL ME NOW! 11 WHOLE YEARS OF MY LIFE YOU WERE LYING TO ME! 11 WHOLE YEARS OF MY LIFE I HAVE LIVED A LIE!" Evelyn was furious! She stormed up to her room and SLAMMED her door! 

                                             AN HOUR LATER...

                "Evelyn, sweetie, you there?" Veronica said as he opened her door. 

               "Go away, I don't want to talk to you!" Evelyn sobbed into her pillow.

                "Can I tell you something?" Veronica sat down on her bed. 

                 "No," Evelyn said angrily. 

                   "This happened to me to," Veronica told her anyways. Evelyn looked up, wanting to hear more. "only thing was, I found out when I was 15, and I was as mad as you. Soon, I met your father, Jerry, he was a wizard to. Then I met Max, your true father, who, unlike Jerry, was not a coward to have a child. I loved Max with ALL my heart, and I still do. I even gave up my powers for him." Veronica explained.

                  "Really, you did that for Dad!" Evelyn said, wiping away her tears.

                   "Yes, I did, because I love him!" Veronica said with a wide grin. "But one thing must come from this. NO ONE must know about the wizard world!" Veronica exclaimed. 

                   "World?" Evelyn asked with confusion. 

                   "Yes, and in fact, tomorrow we will be going to meet the headmaster of all wizardry. Professor King!"
