Chapter 40: I’m scared mummy

Angel’s P.O.V
I can hear Scarlet and my mum down stairs; they have just finished singing a song together. Scarlet must have had a bad dream or something because I heard her crying when she first came out of her room.
I know this because I peered out to see if everything was ok and it seemed ok it’s just that she was still crying and hugging our mum tightly, and not wanting to let her go.
I get up out of my bed to go down stairs and for some reason I am getting strange tingles throughout my body, it starts in my hands, goes upward to my heart, then down to my feet. It’s really weird, I need to tell someone about this, it’s not normal; it hurts then it doesn’t and it’s happened before when I was sixteen.
I move my hands out in front of me and little blue sparks come from the tips of my fingers. “Oh wow!” say in a shouted whisper, bringing my hands closer to my body, excitement running though me causing me to laugh and try it again. I do the exact same thing, but this time it doesn’t work, “maybe I’m seeing things” I laugh.
I go to reach the handle on my door and the door opens itself, at first I thought it was my dad coming in to check on me. I quickly dash back into my bed, trying not to make any loud movements. I peer through one eye to see if it was him at my door, but no one was there. I get up again and look out of my door and along the landing to see if it was him, but no.
Nothing. Complete silence filled the house. I go out my door and into my parent’s room, and to my surprise my dad was sleeping like a baby. No noise came from him at all. “I thought he would be snoring” I say so quietly I can’t even hear myself. I laugh inside my head and go downstairs.
A bright light comes from the Master Living room. I enter after the bright light catches my eye. Is it really coming from inside there? I think to myself. I go back further away and I hear my mum telling my little sister that everything will be ok. Then I hear Scarlet scream for mum, I run inside.
“Is everything okay mum? What was that bright light?” I ask eagerly.
“It’s nothing Angel; just go back to bed sweetheart.” My mum tells me. As if I’m gonna go back to bed when I’ve just witnessed Scarlet having a bright light come out of her. “Mum please, tell me what’s going on?”
“M-mum...” Scarlet said while coughing straight after. My mum gets up off the couch to look at Scarlet, she is so pale. She looks as white as snow. I go over to touch her forehead and she feels as cold as a stone on a winter night. “Mum why is she so cold?” My mum goes over to touch her and quickly pulls her hand back.
“Angel be a darl and go get me the blankets from the spare bedroom.” My mum said to me.
I ran upstairs and thought about opening the door to check on my dad, and the door opened. I tried it again, but this time closing it just to be sure it wasn’t my dad opening it. “It actually shut!” I said (with excitement running through me) in a loud whisper. I quickly got five blankets and carried them back downstairs to Scarlet.
Once down, my mum wrapped Scarlet up in blankets, the last thing we hear her say is “I’m scared mummy.” Then she blacks out. I wish I could tell my mum I’m scared to, about these weird connections I have with doors. I wonder if I can do other things too.
I try thinking about pulling a book from the bookshelf we have in the Master Living Room and it worked, but this time my mum saw everything, she just looks at me amazed at what I’ve just done.
“Wow.” We say simultaneously.
“How did you do it Angel?” She asks me, still amazed at what I’ve done, she witnessed me do it to. I just shrug my shoulders.
“It’s in your blood my son, I’m a Witch. Angel, you must be a Warlock!” My mum says with excitement.
“That’s so cool, but I’m scared still, I don’t know anything about being a Warlock?”
“You will learn my son, you will learn.” She tells me and goes back to treating Scarlet.
