When Fairytales Invade Reality(under construction )

A witchy disaster

Why do these things always happen to me? I guess now I have to tell you...I'm a witch.

I know weird right , but true nonetheless .

I found out two years ago on my 14th birthday....about a month after papa died.

FLASHBACK

***************

" Monica come here sweetie" mom called to me from the living room. The whole day I've had a smile on my face just because todays my birthday. I didn't want to do anything speacial since I have no friends but I'm okay with it .....I'm grateful for just living to see another fantastic year. Yep I'm turning 14..finally the real teen ages.

" What's up mom" I said stepping into the living room. I made my way over to my favorite coatch and sat Indian style facing mom.

" Uumm honey ...there's something I need to tell you..." mom said trailing off looking down at the huge book in her lap. The book was beautiful , it has vine designs on it in gold ,and on the vines are little silver flowers in the middle of the flowers are these beautiful sapphire jewels,but the vines and flowers all trail to one breathtaking flower it was a mixture of gold and sliver and like the other flowers had a jewel in the middle .....but .... This jewel was....eye catching....it literally took my breath away ...I thought I'd faint just from looking at it. The jewel was a shimmering purple the same color as my eyes actually except my eyes are rimmed with black...there's also noticeable specks of black in my eyes but you can only notice them because of the vibrant purple that surround the specks. Yep that's why people mostly think I'm a freak, some even think I'm trying to be different because I wear " contacts" umm but I don't wear contacts at all it's just my normal eye color. Anyway I noticed there was an engraving on the purple jewel ...but I couldn't see what it said from where I was seated . I looked back up at my Mom and she began to talk.

" Okay so before your papa passed away .....he gave me gifts to give to you on your birthday...but I am only supposed to give you one each birthday until your twenty....um each gift is assigned to a certain year..like this one had a 14 on it so I have to give you it today .....um I'm not really sure what this is but your papa told me you would let me know when the times right..." she trailed off as if waiting for me to tell her something but the truth is I have no clue what she's talking about ... No clue at all...so I just shook my head at her slowly. Her shoulders slouched in disappointment . What am I supposed to tell her?

" Alright I understand .....ok so not only am I supposed to give you the gifts but they come with letters one for me and one for you ...my letter is just instructions and yours is information about the gift .....I am not to open any of your gifts nor am I allowed to touch them when you open them with out permission .....so .....this is basically the only time I get to touch this book...all of the gifts except for this one has your nikname on them ...while this one is the only one that has your full name on it ... So here" mom said passing the book to me. I grabbed it ...wow this thiing is not even heavy considering it has probably like a thousand pages. I took a closer look at the engraving on the purple jewel and there was my full name engraved in cursive ' Monica Debbie Terry' I traced my fingers over the engraving ...as soon as I touched the jewel one of the flower pedals snaked up and jabbed into my finger causing me to bleed out . The flower pedal just sucked the blood up though . My eyes grew wide at what I was seeing , I watched as the blood that was being sucked away from me run down the pedal and flow inside the purple jewel. As soon as the jewel was full the pedal stopped sucking on my finger and kissed it .....BAM next thing you know my finger was healed and the flower pedal went back to its place on the book , when the flower pedal became solid again I turned my gaze to the purple jewel which was now full of my blood and watched as my engraved name shimmered a bight gold....my name was no longer black but a beautiful shade of gold. A feeling erupted inside of me as I gazed down at the book , I felt as if the book was my life ....like...there was a speacial bond between me and the book ....I felt.............connected to it ....as if we were ....one.

A sudden thought occurred . " Mom , what about Andrew?" I asked. I mean it would really suck if papa left all these gifts for me and not Andrew ....come on...he was his dad too.

" Oh honey don't worry about that your father left him gifts too ...but non of them are as ancient as yours..all of Andrews gifts are from the era ..." she trailed off . I smiled my papa knew me so well I'm really obsessed with the past like ancient history and stuff ...it just interest me .....so I'm totally cool that I get the old stuff and Andrew gets the new ..we're two different people with different interest .

" OH!! I almost forgot ... Um here ya go sweetie" mom said handing Me my letter. I smiled and took it from her.

" Thanks mom ...um I'm gonna go up to my room with this ...good night" I said kissing her goodnight.

" Goodnight sweetie ...don't stay up too late" mom called after me . With that I went to my room and messed around with my papa's gift to me.

END OF FLASHBACK

So that day was very interesting . I took being a witch rather well, actually I think it's pretty AWESOME .

The letter stated that I was a witch of course and that when I turned 16 my powers would kick in full swing. I'm turrning 16 the day after tomorrow . AND IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!! Ok so your probably wondering why there's no talk of Andrew being a wizard ...well you see there's a legacy about the reason I'm a witch ...according to the legacy I was " chosen " ...it's really hard to explain ....but ..I'll try...ok so every witch is born in December ..something about it being the purest month...but we're all born on the same day at midnight....just different years...strange I know .....so you see Andrew was born on December 2, at 11:58pm and I just so happened to be two minuets late , thus me being born on the third ...at midnight . So that's why I'm a witch I was born on the given date at the given time ...and ...on a half moon. Another thing, to be a witch or wizard you have to be born in December at midnight on the third ..when it's a half moon. Witches also have soulmates, soulmates are the people who were made for each other , who will love eachother til the very end yada yada yada , you only get one. i want to meet mine badly but at the same time i dnt for the simple reason that he or she could hurt me
