Chapter 4

Last Chapter: They both sighed.

“Caroline, you don’t get it! You’re…” Zachary said.

“You’re like us, you have magical powers.” Felix said.

And then I let the darkness consume me as I fainted and I fell into two strong arms.

“I think she’s waking up,” I heard a voice say.

“I hope she’s calmer this time,” another voice said.

Slowly I stirred from my dark slumber and I blinked a few times to let my eyes adjust to the light. As I awoke I saw the two brunette twins looking down at me, for a moment I believed all was normal in the world until I remembered what had happened before I passed out.

“Caroline, are you ok?” Zachary asked concerned.

“What do you think?” I said sharply and then I looked at the hurt look in Zachary’s eyes. “I’m sorry Zach I’m just a little tense.”

Zachary smiled but he still looked sad.

“This isn’t easy for any of us you know,” Felix said coldly.

I was shocked at the sound of Felix’s voice, being used to his carefree nature I never thought he would speak so cruelly, but his words made sense to me. Since the beginning of this magical occurrence the twins have been trying to make it easier for me and were protecting me, yet all I had done was cry and try to run away.

“Come on, Fee don’t be so hard on her,” Zachary said.

“I’m sorry,” I muttered.

“What?” Felix asked.

“I said I’m sorry!” I said.

The twins grinned at me and I rolled my eyes.

“Don’t give me that look,” I said, giggling.

Realizing that I was laughing at such a time made me stop smiling. I wasn’t supposed to be happy or carefree about this I should be serious.

“So I guess you should give me an explanation,” I said.

Immediately both the twins became serious.

“Where should we start?” Zachary said with a sigh.

“Well, how can you guys do that magic stuff? 

“We’re wizards!” Zachary said grinning.

A part of me still wanted a bunch of cameramen and a talk show host with shockingly white teeth to jump out of nowhere saying “you’ve been pranked by the comedy channel!” or something like that, but unfortunately that didn’t happen.

“Hey Car? You ok?” Zachary asked me.

“Yeah I’m fine and uh Car?” I asked.

“That’s my new nickname for you,” Zachary said grinning.

“Ok so wizards. So what are you like Harry Potter or something?”

“Kind of but we’re awesomer!”

“Awesomer is not a word,” Felix said before continuing. “Basically we say incantations that allow us to manipulate things, thus creating what we call magic. Unlike, Harry potter we don’t need wands to channel our magic and we are taught by masters and not by a school.”

“Ok, so why do YOU guys have powers and why don’t you use magic all the time?” I said.

“Me and Zachary, have these powers because we are descendents of Merlin and we don’t use magic all the time because it takes energy and is tiring.”
