Beneath Your Perfect

Kaycees POV

I spent the night at my old house. Mom teaching me a few tricks. But I can only nail the fire one so far.

"Yep, I can't do this" I tell her and my mom laughs. "Yes you can. C'mon, just think of the wind flowing through you. And use the earth to enhance the wind" my mom tells me and I take a breath.

I start doing some of the chants my mom tells me to say as I close my eyes. My hands find there way to a tree by accident and I gasp from the energy. I feel my head jerk up and I loose my sight. I open my eyes again and look around. Night, blood. Death. That's all I saw.

This house covered in blood, the tree dripping blood on my fingertips. Then I see my mother lying against the tree. A younger version. She can't see me. "No mother! Please. Don't leave me" she cries into my grandmothers chest as she's laying lifeless in my mother's arms. "You can't leave me here" my mother sobs out.

She places her hands on my grandmothers chest as she sobs in pain. Then a spark of electricity hits her and she looks around. She looks down at my grandmother and she sits up and breaths. "What happened?" My grandmother asked.

"Y-you died"

I gasp loudly as I open my eyes and regain my normal vision. I feel strong winds and I let go of the tree. The wind steadies and I look around and see my siblings and my mother standing before me. "Grandmother died?" I ask, my breath shaky. "No. She's still alive kaycee, how could she have di-."

"Yes, She did" my mother cuts Kylie off and we all widen our eyes. "I saw you guys, laying on the tree. There were dead bodies everywhere. She died, but... you healed her." I croak out still not believing what I just saw. "How does she do that?" My brother asks and my mom just stares at me.

"No. I'm sorry kaycee. I never wished this for you." My mother says and I frown. "Y-you can't come here anymore. You can't see me. Or your bothers or sisters, you have to leave" my mother says and I frown again.

"What.. you can't jus-." Kylie starts but my mother cuts her off. "You can't see us. Only your father. His not a witch. I'm sorry kaycee." My mom says as she walks over and grabs my hand dragging me to the door.

"W-What?" I ask still not believing it. "Your in danger every second you come here, or talk to anyone here. I'm sorry baby." My mom tells me and I'm shocked. "What do yo-." But she cuts me off and hugs me.

"Goodbye kaycee" My mom tells me and I push her off. "No! Tell me what's going on!" I shout and she sighs. She picks up her phone and calls someone. "Yes, now. Run." She says and hangs up. The next thing I know, Sean's behind me.

"Mom.." I say and she looks down. "Sean, take care of her. She's never allowed to come here ever again. She can't see Devon, nor Kylie. If she does, I'll have to kill you, and your friends" my mom tells him and we both frown. "S-Sean. She's going to go through a hard time. I can't do anything without making it worse. Protect her. With everything" my mom says sternly and he nods weirdly.

"Go. Go. Now" she says and I frown. She looks up and widens her eyes. "Your too late." She says and we look behind us. "W-who is he?" I ask and she says nothing in return. "Luke." She croaks out with a shaky breath as she walks to him.

"Laura" He says with a smirk. "You still with that pathetic lover?" He asks and I look at Sean confused. "Y-Yes." She stutters and he chuckles. "Well move out of the way. You know why I'm here" he says and my mom shakes her head.

"Over my dead body" she says before she pushes him to the side with her mind. "RUN!" She shouts at us and Sean takes my hand and we run. Then he falls to the floor and groans. I look back and see Luke looking at him with his arm out. My mom kicks him and he looks at her.
