A Touch Of Magic (Unedited)

Chapter 7

Magic's POV

"So I eventually apologized and we settled it there" I said as I took a sip of my orange juice. I was telling Cam about my experience at the party and how Asher and I had a disagreement.
"Well seems to me that he might like you" she said smiling. This girl is nuts. There is no way the Asher would have interest in me. Besides he keeps telling me am not his type.
"C'mon be serious, that isn't possible" I laughed.
"Am serious, the way his always looking out for you, and how he is ready to do anything to make you happy, its clear he likes you" she smiled dreamily.
"That's what friends do for each other nothing more am telling you" I said and rolled my eyes. She needs to understand that he doesn't like me like that. It would be weird if he did.
"OK but I know what am saying believe it or not" she said giving the matter a rest.
"And I know what am saying"I replied.
..........

"So my mum and dad called and they will be able to make it in time for my birthday!" Asher smiled and joy filled his eyes. Am so happy my plan worked! Yes I did I a little magic nothing much to get his parents here.
"That is great!" I cried and gave him a hug. I felt so happy to have made his birthday a memorable one.
" happy birthday Asher!"I laughed as I pulled away.
"You did this?" he asked. I put on one of my brightest smile and nodded.
"How?,when?,why?" He asked.
"I know how sad you felt when you heard your parents weren't coming so I wanted to change that plus I have my ways".
"Thank you so much!"he cried.
************************************"Magic?honey can you come down? Mum called form down stairs.
"Coming" I yelled back and hopped down stairs.
"Come sit here"she said motioning me to sit down beside her.
"OK so you're journey to the valley of death is on Saturday" she said calmly. It can't be this Saturday! That's Asher birthday!.
"But that's Asher birthday!"i reminded her.
"I know honey and am sorry. I know how close you two are".
"Thanks mum" I said and made my way back to my room. I picked up my phone and texted Cam.

The journey to the valley of death is on Asher's birthday,just my luck
Me
Am sorry but you know that you don't have a choice
Cam
How am I going to explain to him that I can't make it?
Me
You'll have to figure that out right now I have to go. Good luck
Cam

Yes Camila knows am a witch. She found out all by herself . That girl is good.

...........

"What do you mean you can't make it?" Asher asked. I was telling him that I would be able to go for his party and he is not taking it well.
"I have some else planned on that night" I said looking at my feet.
"More important than my birthday?"he asked with a hint of hurt . I looked at my feet and started playing with the sand.
"Actually yeah but..."
"But what? That's all I needed to know"he said walked away. Are you kidding me?. It's not like I want to not go?. He didn't even let me explain. But then again,if I were him I would have done the same thing if not worst.

The week ran really slow and it just made things worst. Asher was still mad at me so he didn't want to talk to me all the week which meant I walked to school and back home.
I really wish I could tell him the truth but I can't. Finally after a horrible week, the day of the journey came.
"All right baby remember everything that I've thought you, don't let the darkness win. Do it for dad" mom told. C'mon mom I know you're scared . I am too ,who wouldn't be but she's right for dad.
"Yes mum, for dad"I smiled and hugged her. I grabbed my wand and changed to my witch custom or something. It was black and purple. Mom opened the portal and gave me a hug before letting me go through it.
************************************
The valley was indeed scary,its was really dark so I made a fire ball to light up the place. Once I was able to see, my heart started beating really fast and I swear I could hear it.
There were bones and skeleton every where. I saw different types of creatures in the valley. As I was moving forward, a huge monster with horrible breath appeared in front of me. OK calm down Magic, you trained for this. You can handle one monster.
All of a sudden, the monster hit and I flew really high and landed on my face. Ouch!. I stood up and the monster pushed me down again.
Hey! It can be a fair fight if it won't let me try to defend myself!.
I made fire balls and launched them at him and he fell. Take that! You monster!. Oh no he looks angry. What should I do?. I ran and he chased me but then I stopped because I realized that I was at a dead end. Damn!.
I closed my eyes and said a vanishing spell. I opened my eyes and I was standing in front of the ring of power. Uh, it worked.

The ring was  made of gold band and the ruby of Zara. Zara  witch was a powerful who created the ring. I turned my wand into a sword and started fighting with the monster,which he was winning. It barely had any scratch but I already have injures. I need to get that, ring!. What's that on his neck? It looks like an X. Maybe that's his weak point ! Alright, here goes nothing.

I looked around for a place I could stand on,which I found luckily. I did a back flip and as I got close to him,I stabbed him right in the middle of the X. He began to scream all disappear. Yes! It worked!.
I picked my wand from the floor and walked up to get the ring. As I walked to get it,my heart was beating really fast and loud. I grabbed it and next thing I knew, I was in front of a huge should i say snake? With 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 heads. Oh my God! It's disgusting. It has slimy liquid all over. Lord help me.

I started by saying a few spells but let me tell you it backfired. It picked me up like was garbage and flung me across the room. I hit my head and got a head injury which was bleeding. As I opened my eyes, I saw the book of spells in a plate form. That was easy,ouch! My head.
I managed to get up and started walking towards the book, that stupid snake used it's tail to grabbed my leg. Hey! It's not fair!.

I tried to free but it was just too strong!. I was now on the floor after it hit me over and over again. I began to crawl towards the book. As I was moving closer, I began to remember dad. A voice was constantly telling me to give up.
" let's face it sweetie, if you're dad couldn't defeat me there's no chance for you" there then I knew it was the darkness.
"Am not letting you win" I said through a clenched teeth. The injury in my head began to hurt so much and I began to have flash backs of how dad died. Just then I began to remember mum's words;"do it for dad". For dad! How could I forget that!.
I took a deep breath and stood up, walked to the platform and grabbed the book of spells.
Yes! i did it! For dad!.
