wild flowers in her hair

i'm sorry, what?

The demons?? Which demons? Okay whose prank is this I'm so sick of people making me crazy with their stupid jokes.

'I'm sorry, demons?? That's just too ridiculous. So it suddenly turns out I have a twin sister that got kidnapped by demons before I could even open my eyes when I was born, she is half an angel and has never left the castle where the demons keep her trapped? And you, my geography teacher is trying to tell me this shit?' I'm so confused and I don't know what to believe. I'm getting dizzy.

'Alex, calm down,' my teacher looks worried, 'let me explain everything.' She walks to the class again, when she opens the door an immense sound of screaming kids blasts through the empty hallways. Desks are flying through the sky, kids are making dirty noises. My teacher looks at me, blinks, looks at the class and mumbles something. Suddenly the class froze. A table who got frozen during his flight through the classroom hangs dangerously close above the head of a stupid boy.

Suddenly I see Chloe, still moving. Why didn't she froze too? She smiles at me, turns around again and starts with her homework.

Is she one of us too? Wait what? Us?? Why am I thinking of things I don't even know about? And why didn't I loose my mind when the whole class froze, just by my geography teacher mumbling something?

Fuck this shit I'm out.

'Okay let's go Alex, follow me.' the teacher says, making a sign of "follow me" when she turned her back and walked through the empty hallways.

Wow.

I followed her, without saying a word. I'm so scared of what is going to happen. What if I do have a sister, what if she's in danger? I need to save her. I need to...

'Have a seat,' my teacher said, pointing at the chair in the little room.

I mumbled something like "okay" and let myself fall in the chair. This was such an exhausting day. It's going to be even worse.

'So as you might have discovered already, the story we are talking about is true. Your twin sister has been kidnapped the day you where born, at night, when everyone in your house was sleeping. That's why no one knows where she is. Your parents never talked about it to protect you. To protect you from the pain. Dark times are coming, Alex. And you,' she points my heart, 'you have to fight, darling.'

Me? Fight? What the fUck is this...

'Um, I'm sorry miss.... I got to go.' As soon as I raised from my chair and made an attempt to run away from all the pain, I felt a wall. A wall. In the middle of a room. I turned around, sighed and said:

'Okay you won, miss.'

'Thank you. Now go sit and let me tell you important things you need to know when you go on your journey.'

Journey? JOURNEY?? Do I have to go on a fucking trip to find my dearest demonic sister?

'Your sister isn't demonic, Alex.'

DID SHE JUST READ MY MIND? Okay I'm thiiis close to freaking out right now.

'Don't freak out, relax, take a deep breath and get ready for the things I'm going to tell you right now.'

I breathe in, shakily. Well, I don't even know if you can call my attempt breathing.

'I'm ready.'

'Your sister is definitely not safe right now. She is powerful. And very dangerous if she's in the wrong hands. Which is why we need to save her. The demons can't keep her for another 14 years. And you, Alex, are the one who needs to save her.'

Me??

'Yeah, you.'

'And what kind of creature are you, miss?' I asked, curious as hell. Dear god, that sounded impolite.

'Well Alex, I'm a witch, just a simple woman who knows a lot of herbals. I studied plants and potions.' She answered calmly.

'But how...' how could you freeze the whole class in one blink?

'Oh, just a simple spell,' she waved her hand like it was nothing to stop a whole class from screaming and running around.

'I think you've learned enough, now let's pack your bag Alex, it's time to go.'

Holy mother of fucks I'm totally not ready for this.

'so don't break,
sanctify my body with pain,
sanctify the love that you crave,
and I won't be ashamed,
sanctify my sins when I pray,
