Freya found the bathroom, after  a while of searching, it was a bit of a distance from the greenhouse, she found his shirt, but there was noway she was wearing that, her cheeks practically flushed at the thought of, fortunately, she found a dryer.

Warm and dry again, she decided to look around, she opened the cabinet and looked inside, curious as to what he used, a strange container caught her eye, she took it to take a closer look, she read the label,
'shaving cream' it said, but it looked home made and smelt ridiculously good.

She looked around more, everything was homemade and everything smelt great, she found another curious container, the liquid in it seemed to glow, she looked all over it, no label, she was about to open it when she heard someone call her, it was faint and light , almost nothing.

She got back to work on opening the container, it was a bit tricky, but she managed to after a while,  inhaling the sweet fragrance , she decided to pour it to take a closer look. She managed just a tilt of the container when she heard it again.
This time it was loud and strong, desperate, frightened. Suddenly she was there, suddenly she saw, those bloodthirsty snakelike demons, they were there, and Ethan was in trouble.

" No!" she screamed dropping the bottle and rushing out, she didn't notice as its contents spilled, not only enveloping the room with its sweet smell, but changing it.

She got there at the speed of light, how she did it, she didn't know, she just thought it and run and suddenly there she was . Not stopping to process what just happened, she turned to Ethan, he was sprawled against the wall, he looked pale, almost dead, but that didn't anger her as much as the demon that was slowly making its way up his body, slowly squeezing the life out of him
." Ethan!!!" she screamed, the snake turned , its horridly frightful eyes found hers, and she knew it was only her anger that kept her standing, she would have been cowering in fear at how frightful it looked, but this was a different story, she glared back and yelled

" Get the hell of him you distrusting awful monster"  instinctively she waved her hands too, surprisingly, that sent the demon  flying , breaking through the wall, destroying it.

She turned to the others ready to do whatever she just did, to them, even though she had no idea of what it was. She had no time to think through what just happened , she was just too angry, the feeling seemed to consume her.They didn't wait to be told once .

Ethan gasped loudly, his chest free now, he was breathing normally now except, it hurt, everywhere hurt, it really hurt, he looked towards Freya, the red in her eyes had dimmed, so had the flames that lit up out of the red in her hair, also a ring he had not noticed before. She suddenly seemed unsteady on her legs, dizzy from all that unusual power.She held unto a wall panting slightly, slowly sinking, Ethan tried to get up, to get to her, he fell right back, he couldn't help her, he was weak, too weak.

" Its okay, I'm okay, i just don't - i don't understand any of what happened, i mean i just waved my hand and-----"

Ethan suddenly groaned cutting her of, her own weary now forgotten, she rushed to his side.

She managed to get him into bed, seemingly feverish all of a sudden, she got a basin , filled it with water and nursed him. Suddenly he was restless, his face twisted in agony, pain. She panicked, oblivious of what to do. Frustrated, she hugged him, surprisingly, he calmed right then, afraid to let go, she stayed there, in that position, until weariness took over and she slipped into quiet slumber .

#
Ethan saw her sinking, he tried to get up, he wanted to help her, but he ended up right back on the ground , the place getting darker and darker, she was by his side in an instant, her worried face hovering over his, it had been a while since he saw someone look that was because of him, but even that seemed to dim by the minute. She helped him unto his wobbly feet and led him out into his bedroom, he saw his door, he saw his bed, but then everything went black before he could get to it.

He was suddenly back home, everything seemed normal, his mom was there, cooking in the kitchen with one of his sisters, his dad was in front of the TV with his brothers, his other sister came in with Ingrid grumbling something about no rest and too much work, everything was normal, happily normal, he smiled, maybe he shouldn't have . His chest was tight all of a sudden, and then it all began, he wished to go deaf from all the screams he heard , he shut his eyes tightly to prevent himself from seeing, he didn't want to, it hurt, it hurt so much .

He was suddenly whisked  out of the scene, everyone was alive again, all well and happy, he wanted to smile, but he hesitated, what if?
They seemed to be picnicking, they all looked happy and  content, he waited for something to happen, but it didn't, his father told him something happily and patted his back,  his mom fed him some fruit, his sisters happily hugged him thanking him for something he did, his brothers called him over for a game and Ingrid, Ingrid kissed him. He was happy , he was at peace.

He woke to find Freya beside him, loosely hugging him,her hands around him seemed like a shield that kept evil away. He smiled, slowly peeled her hands off him, quietly slipped out of bed , covered her up before going back to the destroyed greenhouse.

It was a mess , too messy to clean himself, he slowly began to chant, the air got cool, the sun seemed to chant more intently, the pieces came back together, news flowers sprouted, the dirt and everything back in place, he stopped the chant and dusted his hands with a smirk, he felt great, stronger. He turned around to see Freya wide eyed standing at the door, she took a shaky step back
" To think I thought it was all a dream"
Ethan held her in place
" Hey Frey, calm down , I can explain it, I'll explain everything"

He led her inside and into a couch,
" What is going on here?"she asked
Ethan seemed to think for a while, finally decided , he said
" I don't know how to tell you this, but to put it simply---- you are a witch, Freya"

She froze for a minute, then started laughing
" You don't mean those old hags
who fly on brooms do you, Gwen would have such a laugh if she could hear this right now"

Ethan sighed and placed his hands on her shoulders
" I'm not joking Freya, I can prove it" he thought

" How?" she asked

" I just did" he replied, she looked confused

"Watch my lips" he thought " You are a witch Frey" he continued

She gasped loudly, his lips didn't move, he'd just looked at her, he'd thought it, and she'd heard it
" But , but how?"she asked,  he smiled then went behind her
" Freya , you see that candle over there?" he asked, she nodded
" Now repeat after me, then snap your fingers"

She tried to recall all he said, but to no avail, but still snapped them anyway, the candle got lit suddenly, and rose so high, it caught the curtains in the corner, Ethan looked at her amazed

" You are a strong one Frey, kind of remind me of my mom" he ended sadly

Freya drew his attention to the burning curtain, he distractedly waved his hand after muttering a few words, and the water sitting in the corner of the room flew to quench it .
" Let me guess, u also a witch or a wizard or something like that " she stated, he smiled in agreement
Freya looked at him stunned for a few moments, as if she was still trying to make sense of all that had happened. She tapped her cheek lightly
" I'm still sleeping , i need to wake up, Freya wake up, wake up!"  she tried pinching herself next, Ethan helped this time

" Ow!that hurt" he gave her an innocent smile combined with a shrug
" Just helping, you are still here though"

Freya sighed
"Yeah i guess, so i guess i really am a witch or something----oh God I'm a freak! "  she explained

Ethan gently took her face into his palms
" No Frey, you are special"
She sighed again
" But i don't know anything, i don't know what to do, i don't---"
" Freya, calm down, ill teach u everything you need to know, you just need to trust me okay?"
She nodded, her agitation obviously subsided

" So now what?" she asked
" Well, if you want to we can start, but i have no problem if you want to come back next time" he shrugged

" No its okay, I'm curious anyway" she decided

"Great , follow me then"
