The Baby Witch

Chapter 9.

I opened the snap from Annabelle.

'Ariel, something is in my room! And she's scaring me!'

****

in the past couple of week Annabelle and I have gotten closer, she asked me about her dreams and many other things. As I read the message I still and a shiver goes down my spine. All of a sudden a trillion thoughts and questions run through my head, what is it? why is Annabelle scared? is it good or bad? demon or spirit?

I get another snap from Annabelle. its a picture of the corner of her room captioned with 'she's moved!!!' I as quick as possible.

'don't tell it your name otherwise it can use it against you'.

'i kind of already have.'

greatt!!!! I think to myself. then she sends another picture saying the scary lady moved closer and that Annabelle is about to cry.

'DO NOT SHOW ANY FEAR!!! DONT LET IT SEE THAT YOU'RE SCARED!!'

'Too late I'm already crying'

I'm well and truly past panic mode now I'm scared for her because I keep trying to help but it's too late.

'Annabelle, prayer.'

'just pray to god' i repeat myself.

'i am I just keep praying'

I thank god myself, and a small wave of relief washes over me.

'she's crying now, saying that she's apart of my family and that my grandfather killed her.'

I am immediately confused and concerned

'she also said that my father is dangerous and she's trying to help.'

it reminds me of an episode of 'Buzzfeed: Unsolved Mysteries' where they aren't sure if it's a demon or a negative spirit and it makes the people who see it feel calm and they see a girl. it sounds too much alike so I ask;

'what does the lady make you feel like?'

'idk kinda calm and at ease'

CODE RED, I REPEAT CODE RED!!!

'do you have any protection stones in your collection?!'

'ummm idk if I did I haven't charged them in a while'

'well this is great, you haven't done a protection spell?'

'if you want to come over to my house you and I can do a few protection spells to make sure you're safe?' I double message her.

'no I haven't and id love that. but he's here.'

'what? who's there?'

'he said ill be fine and that he won't let anything happen to me?' i am so confused with who's there but I put that aside for the moment.

'ask him if she's good or bad?'

'he won't tell me, only that she won't bother me for the rest of the night.'

'why won't he tell you?'

'he's hugging me and protecting me, good night.'

I check the time and its 11 pm, I forget that not everyone is a night owl like me. I send one last message 'is it ok if I tell Zali she knows about me she won't tell anyone I swear. she may be able to help'

there was no response. I go text Zali, we usually talk at late ours scaring each other. I send her a message saying 'im sooo scared for Annabelle'

Zali responds immediately. 'what why?'

I don't respond right away since Annabelle hasn't given me permission.

'Ariel please tell me. why are you scared for her?!'

I can't hold it in any longer, I feel so bad about telling her but I'm so worried and I know Zali would be as well as help me help Annabelle. plus I know Zali wouldn't tell anyone because she would be so scared the firey short brunette would kill her.

I confess everything to my confidant and tell her everything Annabelle and I said. Zali comments throughout as tell her everything said. there's lots of 'omg' and 'oh no', she also states that shes now listening to Christmas carols to calm her down. after I have retold her everything she states how scared she is again, I ask her to help me find protection spells for Annabelle and she complies.

we scroll through different sites, I, of course, go for the usual Tumblr. I see many spells some complicated and some not so much. I save a few on my computer every so often I look around my room the corner of my room where a chair sits catches my attention. the chair or the corner usually draws my eye there, its a chic style of armchair with patterns of red flowers with a cushion with stripes of patterned red fabrics. it doesn't match my room's theme at all which mainly consisted of blues, whites, and silver. but it still looks nice although most of the time it has clothes draped over it.

another spot that catches my eye is out my window in the courtyard. behind the clothesline is a special tree, I don't know the type of tree it is but it has a bulbous trunk with two necks branching off into two plants but sharing the trunk. if that makes sense. sometimes at night when I roll over and look out the window I get a weird feeling about outside that I can't explain. I also get that feeling sometimes when I look at my door.

I go back to looking for protection spells to disperse all the thoughts of what types of spirits and energies would be around my house. Zali sends me a spell and keeps looking for more, I find some sigils that we could use as well. but tomorrow I plan to take Annabelle to the shop and ask for help and we will buy what needs to be bought. maybe some candles and some black tourmaline or black onyx. anything that the owners really think would be useful and the supplies for the spell, whichever one I choose.

I end up looking online till 1 am and I decide to go to sleep.

****

I wake up earlier than I expected, I check my phone '7:45 am'. I get up and have a shower playing music like usual this time a song I found in 'The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina'. I sing along to the chorus of 'Black Magic Woman' - by VCTRY and I throw my arms out and shake my head to electro beat. its the perfect mix or eerie and soothing, it sets me up for the day to come.

when I hop out of the shower and get dressed I noticed that Annabelle has texted me. 'yeah it's fine but I don't want everyone to know'

I respond understanding her reasoning I wouldn't want everyone knowing I'm a witch either. ' yeah I understand, Zali has known about me for months now shes a good confidant and I wouldn't tell anyone else. she was helping you we were finding spells and she was scared for you.' Annabelle texts back 'yeah it's ok now go join my live on 'like''

****

After the live, she rings me and we talk about most things she describes my aura to me. she says that the three main colours she sees is yellow, blue and purple as well as there's pink around my heart.

Blue means knowledge, wisdom and learning and how she mostly sees it in class.

Purple means spiritual and nurturing.

yellow means sensitive yet strong.

and the pink around my heart means that I am compassionate and I have a lot of love to give out.

we start to talk about spirits and how Annabelle has seen some at her friends' houses but then all of a sudden she says on facetime;

"there's someone behind you."
