The Power Of The White Witch

On My Own

I have been thinking long and hard ever since I got to this orphanage. After the little fight I had yesterday I think it's safer to be on my own. I walk to the head sister's office and knock.

"Come on in." I walk into the room to see all three head sisters.

"How may we assist you today Rose?" Sister Ethel smiles.

I take a deep breath. "Well, I have been thinking this over for a while." They nod. "I'm 16 now and no one is going to want to adopt a kid that they have to let go in two years. I am seen as unloving and antisocial. Bad things happened in my life at a young age and I can barely get along with girls my age here."

"Ok. What's your point, Rose?" Sister Daphine crosses her arms and sighs. I take in a deep breath.

I sit down in the chair in front of the desk. "I believe it to be best if I moved out and lived on my own." They were silent. They gave each other looks. I knew they wanted to say no but I'm a witch! My powers are growing and I don't know if I can keep them under control but I can't just say that.

"We will talk this over and let you know our decision in the morning. Get some rest now Rose." Sister Charlotte gives me a fake smile and waves me out the door. I stand and bow a bit at them. I walk back to my room.

I hope they say yes. I mean I beat the crap out of their daughters yesterday. Am I not seen as dangerous? But Benny. I walk to Benny's room. I open the door silently.

When I get into the room I go to his bed. "Hey Bug are you..." He's not in bed. I look around the room. Where is he? I wake up his roommate Whyit. "Whyit! Hey, wake up!"

He groans. "What?" Whyit is my age. He has a thing for me but it will never happen.

"Where's Benny?!"

He throws a pillow over his face. "He got adopted today. Weren't you here?" I lower my head. My face falls. I didn't get to say goodbye. Whyit sits up and tucks a lock of hair behind my ear. I look up through my lashes. "Don't worry. He's coming back tomorrow to get the rest of his stuff and to say goodbye to you."

I smile. "Ok. Sorry to bother you. Go back to sleep." He smiles and nods. He goes back to sleep. I walk to my room and look at my clock. It's ten pm. I look at my phone.

One new message from Unknown number.

I frown and open my phone. I open my messages and see that a new number has popped up. I click on it.

"I don't know who you are. I do know what you are. I need to see and talk to you. Meet me at midnight in the park on 5th street. We need to talk. -JH"

"JH?" I think long and hard. Then realize... "Jung Hoseok." I shake it off and lay down. I'm curious to see what he has to say. I set an alarm for 11:30 so I can get dressed. In no time I drift off into sleep.

~Dream~

I'm standing in front of him.

"I don't want to hurt you." Hoseok is crying. He looks at me with pain in his eyes.

"Please Hoseok. I... love..." I am cut off by a sharp pain in my chest. He hit me with black magic. I drop to the ground and everything runs cold within me. Darkness consumes me. Then death covers me. With my last breath, I whispered his name. "Hoseok."

I wake up in a cold sweat. I gasp and sit up. My hair covers my face as I breathe heavily. My alarm beeps aggressively. I rub my eyes and go to the mirror. I can't recall the entire dream. The only thing I see is his face. I shake my head attempting to get rid of his face. I walk to my closet and get ready.
