Unraveling Witch

The Training

"What is this?" I asked shivering at the cool gel being applied to my forehead.

"Just a little concoction I have profected to help open ones third eye." Shanti chirpped applying more onto me. Grace was sitting beside me and when Shanti was done she stood up.

"What I'm about to do is quite invasive. Don't fight me." She warned and then placed her thumb in the middle of my forehead. For a split second nothing happened then it suddenly felt like a nail was being drove through my skull. I held still reguard of the pain the continued to pound at my head.

"Close your eyes and focus on opening the third eye. With it you will also open your mind." Shanti encouraged. She then started chanting in a foreign language. My ears buzzed at her words. I felt like my head was going to explode. Just when I was going to throw in the towel I felt something in my head open up. My ears stopped ringing and I heard everything in perfect clarity. "Blessed spirts help us open her mine, open her third eye."

"She did it." Grace said taking away her thumb. I opened my eyes and looked around the house. "Congratulations the first step has been completed, now meditation is key."

"Then what?" I asked.

"Then we work on your deffense." Shanti exclaimed.

"Shanti, that chanting you were doing. What did you say?" I asked.

"Oh! I was just calling the blessed spirits of our fallen kin to help." She said sitting down.

"Blessed spirits help us open her mind, open her third eye?" I questioned.

"Why yes, why did you ask if you didn't understand me?" She asked.

"Because Stacy here is a Omnitongue." Grace said.

"Oh, how useful!" She beamed.

"So....I know all languages?" I asked.

"By second nature, if I were to speak to you in a different language you would not only understand me but be able to speak back to me in the same language. It's second nature to you." Grace explained sitting down beside me again.

"Let's meditate now." Shanti said and we closes our eyes and did just that. I meditated keeping my third eye open. I focused on the light as well wanting to reenforce it. We did this for hours until Shanti got up breaking my focus. "Sorry, nature calls." She said skipping off to the bathroom. Grace sighed and turned towards me.

"That was enough for now. You focused on the light. I'm going to enter your mind now and read your inner most thoughts. I want you to push me out." Grace said.

"Okay, I'm ready." I said with a confident nod. She smiled at me then entered my mind. It was chaos at first. She was rummaging through my brain like a file cabinet. It took a lot of concentration just to pin point her. Turns out, she was everywhere so I started from the back and worked to the front pushing her out. She easily over powered me and I could tell when she would let up and allow me some ground before taking it.

It was like tennis back and forth we went and the sweet poured down my forehead. My temper flared dangerously but I bit my tongue and didn't back down.

"Be relentless Stacy it's like a muscle! One you do it once you'll only get better from there!" Shanti encouraged me. I don't know why but as I pushed I was singing a song most appropriate. Gtfoh by the Execs. It was slow but gradual. The mental strain turn physical and I shook from it gritting my teeth. Then, I had successfully shoved her out but I did more then that. The force of my push was produced into the physical world and all their photos, papers and even a table was knocked back.

From that on forward my powers, were no longer something that I only knew about. I became, all about them. Every waking moment was dedicated to gaining more control over my powers. Shanti said it was like a muscle and I thought of them as so. I was going at it with more passion than a body builder! Just because I could I would levitate the entire house and soon Grace couldn't enter my mind.

I was so proud of myself. I could create fire, control water in the very air, quake the earth, disturb the atmosphere to the point of striking lightning and freeze any peguin out of the area around me. Levitation was second nature for me. I could use it to bring pour tea and distribute the cups amoung the three of us.

I could read, watch and listen to anything in a different language and instantly understood it. Yet the biggest thing I loved was my ability to make people see how I wanted them to see me! I could be super model fine or and old granny! This would come in hand later down the road!

The four months that I spent with the Gypsies was like a passing dream! The last thing I learned was the power of suggestion. That was a tricky thing to learn but once I had it down, I was ridiculous! I could hypnotize any one with just entering there mind and telling them what I wanted them to say, do, and even believe!

I could get away with dealing with the dark creatures of this world and have no issue dealing with cops! To but it bluntly, I was starting to feel like and apex predator! The best part was, I hadn't even reached full strength! It was mind blowing and it was hard not to let it go to my head!

The gypsies help balance me and keep me in check though. Along with the reminder of the teachings, it was good enough to keep my head on straight. The sisters worried constantly about shrouding my powers. Because apparently I was now a giant blip on their radar. This big flashing light that said, I'm one bad mother fucker! Unfortunately, the world hates that and fears me for it.

When it came time to leave them. Shanti cried when I left. Even Grace became a little emotional. I left by foot carrying my only possessions in my backpack. I was just a short, dark shadow of a sixteen year old walking the streets. For those who passed me, I was my old friend Tracy. She was always good looking and very well liked in school. So I made myself look like her.

I called a taxi and left New Mexico all together. I decided that starting out I would go to Nebraska. I don't know why, but that seemed like a place to start. Where would I end? I didn't know, but it would be the place I died. That much I knew without a doubt in my mind.

Dispite being outcasted from living a normal life I felt the world not to be such a bleak place anymore.
