Silence, silence perfectly describes death. The second your body takes it's last breath is when the silence happens. You're alone, it's pure white. Just you and the white room-like dream state you are in. I remember screaming out. Screaming to anyone that could possibly hear me, but there was no one. No one was coming to save me. No one would be able to save me.
I woke up in a cold sweat. I keep having the same terrifying dream night after night. I don't know why, why my body is causing me to go through this pain. Maybe it's the side effects of coming of age or maybe it's just your normal nightmare. Whatever it is, it isn't anything I would want anyone else going through.
Today was the day myself and my twin brother were being acknowledged as the two new witches. On every witches 13th birthday, they receive their powers. I've been hearing our coven whispering about how we are set to be the two strongest witches. Even stronger than our elders. I don't think it's possible seeing as our elders are pretty badass. Elder wade can kill anyone just by looking at them. That has to my favorite power.
" Ashleigh, are you up?" My dad called into my room before walking in with a large golden box as well as a smaller white box.
I look up from my phone and smile at him, " Yeah, I just woke up. What are those?" I ask, sitting up and moving onto my knees.
" It is something that I've been waiting to give you since you were born. The ceremony has a tradition of wearing white and some sort of gold accessory. Your brother got a white suit from your mother, and this is yours." He says, setting down the two boxes to my left side.
" Really? Thank you!" I smile wide, opening the smaller box and gently pulling out a medium sized pure gold tiara. " Oh dad! this is beautiful!" I add, setting it back down before giving him a huge hug.
He laughs, hugging me back " I'm going to take that as you like it? Now open the other box. That one is what I think you'll fall in love with."
I nod, opening the big box. " oh .. its's absolutely stunning." I say, pulling out a knee-length white gown that had long lace sleeves and lace lining the sweetheart neckline. " I love it. Thank you so much." I add, tearing up.
He smiles and pulls me onto his lap to give me a better hug, " I hoped you would. I picked it out when you were born and if it doesn't fit we can go ask grandma to help fix it."
" It looks like it will fit, but i'll go pay grandma a visit anyways. Thank you again dad, I love it." I smile, hugging him back before standing up and hanging the dress in my closet. " When is the ceremony again?"
" It starts at 7 p.m. You have to be down at the coven hall by 6 though. Please make sure your brother is on time. He isn't the best at doing what he is supposed too." He says, getting up as well. " Your cousin will be coming over around 4 to help you get ready. Until then, you can do whatever. Just don't get hurt." He adds, kissing my forehead then walking out of my room.
I hurriedly get dressed in my normal outfit, ripped jeans, white shirt, and vans. I need to go see grandma before the ceremony. She mentioned the other day about a story she needed to tell me. Supposedly, there's a story about a witch and demon getting together and changing the way the supernatural world looks at things. Relationships between demons and any other supernatural is forbidden. Demons are the strongest. They are known to totally play a person just to send that persons soul down to hell. Satan's son is the worst. He's a couple years older than I am, but I've heard rumors about how brutal he is. Demons can either send a soul straight down to hell or they can make the soul go through a horrible death before finally arriving at their final resting place. That's what he does. Just thinking about it makes me terrified.
