Beneath my skin

10 years later.

Camille -

" Please call her mother ... You bring some water.. " I yelled to all my students.

I was holding Ava she has been suffering from concusion and my powers are not working at her.

Goddess what will I do..

I sprinkled some water on her face , but it didn't worked either. Her body lied on the ground as her head on my lap . I tried once more and chanted to all the elements for my help..

" Water, wind , earth ,fire.. I summoned you all to let my powers fly and encircle the one closest to me for delivering her to the consciousness of the life, I summoned you to make our  queen rise.."

I felt a little dizzy as  all the powers have drawn from me. Ava's mother and father and my warlock came rushing towards us. Ava still lying on my lap ,cold and lifeless. I caresed her  hairs and my eyes went wide when I saw a large lesion on her neck. It was more like a burn mark.
Her father carried her and my warlock helped me to stand up, but I didn't had the energy to walk so he lifted me and we headed towards our house.

I woke up with a gasp . I shook my head vigorously to try and ease the pain on it. I headed towards Ava's room. I sighed a breath of relief when I saw her sitting on her bed and having dinner . I entered the room and hugged her. I kissed her temple and inhale deeply.

" Why did you do this, you should have  waited for us.. "  Henry , Ava's father yelled at me.
" Yes, we talked about it earlier , you didn't listen to anyone." Joined my warlock Joseph.

" We were running out of time, I had to do this. " I said with a pleading look , Ava's mom Nina came near me and placed her hand on my shoulder assuring me.

" Next time , you will wait for us..We can't risk your life, please promise me." She chocked.
I nodded and heaved a sigh.

" We have to find a remedy , this is  the third time she is facing this pain." I said and leaned towards Ava to get a look on her neck. I was astonished that the mark was gone.
" I saw a burned mark on her neck today, it must be related with her pain ." I added.

" The council members had started forming doubts about her, we have to be more carefull now as for next few weeks you won't be able to perform any chants . " Henry said.
We all nodded in unison .

Few years later.

Ava was getting ready for the farewell party of there senior batch . Some of them will be joining various packs for there tittle with there chosen warlock and some of them will stay here in the  kingdom . But they had completed there are of magic and their council always arrange party for there farewell.
Ava was so excited for the party , she took her long scattered skirt black and her favourite cherry crop top and put it on her self. She brushed her hairs and let them fall on her black. She did a little make up and stood near the mirror twisting to get a view of her back.

Ava -

I heard a nock on my door and just before I went to open the door, it opened with a thud.
" We are late Ava , let's go ." Liza said while entering my room .She didn't even have me a second to react and started pulling me outside the door.

I , Liza and Tia went towards the cobblestone pathway which leads towards the great auditorium of our kingdom. The whole path was beautifully decorated with flowers and lantern all over the side. Guards standing either side of the gate welcoming everyone with there brightest smile .
We entered the hall. And stood with all the 17 's batch, after a little chit chat session with all the girls of our group , the topic changed to finding our warlocks.
" It would have been so great if we already knew who our warlock will be ?." A blondie girl said while glancing at the boys who were standing on 20's group.
" Yes, it would have been so fun, we would have been befriend with them and we would get to know each other more vividly. " Tia said.
" Just get to know each other or something else huh! You are being desperate babe. You will get your whole life for doing those things with you warlock. " Another girl said with a wink. Tia frowned.

" Yeah right , like last year ,that girl snowbell who already knew that who her warlock is and ended up being pregnant at 17. " Liza moked.

" Let it be , it is her life , who are we to judge. " I said while looking at those guys.

Who knew who was he , my soulmate.!

" Hey guys let's have some food, m hungry ." Tia said and we three headed towards the counter. I found my mom near the counter . My family were the head members of the council so , they were very busy today.

After a quite lot of enjoyment, all the pairs  has been declared and all the rituals were done, 5 witches and warlocks were chosen for 5 different packs. After all the speeches and formalities all the pairs took there position on the dance floor ,it is a ritual , they have to do the dance and latter there bond will be sealed with a kiss.

We were enjoying a lot , when suddenly some boys from the 20's batch came forward and asked us
For dance , we looked at each other blankly when one of the boys spoke.
" Common girls , have some decency , we would be your future warlocks , moreover a dance will encourage friendship. " A tall boy with curly hairs gave Liza a wink.
Three of us rolled our eyes together.

All  of us  went to the dance floor and we all started paired up , the curly hair boy went with Liza a d a blondie guy took Tia , Tia was frowning continuously while glancing at me for help. I stood there chuckling .
A guy came near me and extended his hand , he had a well build body sharp jaw and a boyish look on his face . With no other option I took his hand and glanced at Tia. It was her time to chuckle now.
We were dancing at the time when I started feeling uncomfortable.
" Hey are you okay ?" The guy asked.
I nodded and started dancing again. After a few moment my neck started to burning. Immediately my eyes got widen , I shrugged my hands and
Yelled at the top of my lungs.
" Mom, aunt..My neck." I rushed towards them but the pain became unbearable , I placed my hand on my burning neck and
I  dripped of to the ground as  darkness surrounded me .
