Chapter 3

Paige’s POV

When I was walking back with Patiance to go talk to her parents about her problem with magic, I was suddenly struck what seemed to be like an energy or plasma ball on my back and I fell to the ground.

Patiance quickly rushed to my side and I was so worried when we saw a group of demons and was worried that we wouldn’t make it out alive. I didn’t want my best friend to watch me die as I watched my parents die, I didn’t want to put her through the same pain I went through. This was my worst night mare, I tried with all my might to do something but I knew I was losing strength and consciousness.

Patiance stood up to fight the demons to protect me but I knew she didn’t have much of a plan and wouldn’t be able to hold them off for long. I feel so helpless, watching my friend stand up and fight by herself.

But then she suddenly remembered something about a potion in her bag and wanted me to find it. I knew I was almost out of strength and breath but I needed to try and get us out of here for her sake, I stretched out my arm across and grabbed her bag and started rummaging through it as quickly as I could and I found it lying in the bottom of her bag.

I reached in and with every ounce of strength I had left I grabbed it and tried to yell out to Patiance but I lost all consciousness and the last thing I saw was Patiance levitating and suddenly lost all sight and thought.

……..

I woke up in magic school with heaps of teachers, student, Phoebe and coup standing there and I saw that they had a distressed look on their face. I knew from their facial expressions alone that there is something terribly wrong.

My first thought is Patiance and I ask straight away with deep concern “Where’s Patiance, what happened?” Phoebe and Coup come over and give me a hug straight away and I still have the same concerned look on my face.

One of the teachers next to me, who is probably the white lighter I guess that healed me I saw him look at Phoebe and Coup wondering what to say to me, until I see someone carrying her in and I can see that she did not escape the attack unharmed.

“Put her over there” the teacher says to a man with Patiance in his arms, who placed her on the bed beside me, I started to panic instantly.

Automatically I think the worst and jump up and run to her side, I stand over her and see the nasty gash in hip. Tears start running down my face and Phoebe and Coup run over straight after me and I could see the pain in their eyes seeing her like this.

The teacher, who healed me, quickly moved over to us and held her hands over the nasty gash. Her hands quickly lit up and were shining gold and almost instantly I could see the wound disappear.

Suddenly Patiance’s eyes start to flicker and I held onto her hand in wait for her to awake and I see her eyes slowly open.

“What, what happened” she says dazed and then she looks behind me a little confused and then looks at me.

I see in her eyes as she remembers what happened and she whispers something to me but it was so quiet I couldn’t hear her and I had a confused look on my face. Before I could ask her to speak louder she spoke again but louder, but so only I could hear “What are my parents doing here, oh my God there going to go rank at me” she said in an over-reactive tone.

I chuckled and got a stern look from Patiance as I started to open my mouth but before I could say anything I was gently pushed out of the way, by who I was guessing was Phoebe. I turned around and sure enough it was, Coup quickly came over to me and gave me one of those are you ok looks, I nodded and he walked over to Patiance.

Patiance’s POV

OMG my mum is standing in front of me with dad I was hoping they weren’t going to find out but it was probably inevitable figuring we crashed in the middle of library bleeding all over the floor and being close to death, it’s not something that you can hide. I start to pick myself up only to be hugged straight away by mum I quickly hug her back to show her I am ok, but I don’t know how reassuring it was for her.

She slowly realises her hold and then I got a big hug from dad, I smiled until I remembered the conversation we had this morning, my smile quickly vanished and turned to embarrassment and feeling really ashamed of myself. Firstly telling my dad I didn’t want to be a witch and then almost get Paige and myself killed yeah not exactly a good day. No that’s an understatement this has been the worst day of my life and I feel so guilty for putting everybody through this especially Paige.

Dad realises his grip and looks me in the eye and his smile goes away just as quickly as mine did he stood up and turned to the crowd of people still surrounding us “can you please leave us, we have much to discuss” he says deeply before turning back to me with the same look of shame.

The teacher that healed me quickly got all the students out “ok students back to class” she said and every soon left, no don’t go, I say mentally but shortly it was just the four of us in the room, whatever is going to happen it is not going to be pretty.

Mum came and sat on the bed next to me putting her arm around me, I knew that dad would have told her about this morning so I started to pull away until she finally let go. I couldn’t stand to look at her right now, she must be heartbroken. What did they expect me to say, especially after what just happened. Maybe it would be safer for everyone if I did relinquish my powers then no one would get hurt because of me….

“Patiance, look at me” my head instantly shot up out of the focus of my thoughts and on my dad’s eyes, I could see he is upset, why can’t I be like Pamela or Penelope, they both finished school and both now help save the world but I just can’t see myself doing the same thing.

I was still looking in his eyes and no words could escape my mouth before he spoke again “Patiance, talk to us, at least tell us what happened”, I sighed and nodded.

After telling them everything that I remembered they looked a little startled, mum especially “wait he told you, he would be back”, she said, while quickly looking at dad in concern and I looked at them both, what were they going to do there is not really a way of keeping me safe and besides it’s not me I am worried about it’s Paige.

Mum quickly arose from next to me and grabbed dads arm and they moved far enough away so I couldn’t hear them and I could only guess it was about the demons. Paige came and sat down beside me I couldn’t help but give her a hug and say “I am so sorry, this is my entire fault” she pulls away and looks at me with a confused look.

I knew she wouldn’t understand but it was my fault, I am the one who called her and I am the one who wanted her to come home to talk to my parents about my problem.

She still stares at me with her big round hazel eyes “Patiance this is not your fault, don’t think for a minute that it is” she says holding my hand.

“But it…” I say before getting cut off

“No, it’s not stop blaming yourself if anything you’re the hero, you saved me” she snaps, still looking me in the eye, I give her a hug, she is my best friend and I put her in danger how am I a hero.

I whisper in her ear before letting go “I am no hero”.

I let go as my mother comes and interrupts us and says “your father and I are going to speak to Leo about something I’ll be back soon” she says quietly, before I could say anything they had gone and it was just Paige and I left in the room.
