Witch it !

Chapter 7 : The hangover .

I woke up realising I'm on my bed and my head feels so heavy , I couldn't get up . Then there's a knock on the door , the thump on the door is like explosives on my ear drums so gave a shout , "aaaah !". My mum walked in bringing a tray  , " morning , honey . I know that you have a headache right now . Carla told me that the ritual could really took a toll on your body" . "So they were real ? It's not a dream ?" , I asked stupidly because my head couldn't think straight . My mum just nodded and said , "have your breakfast then take these aspirins" , she pointed on 2 pills beside a glass of orange juice. 

A few hours later , I feel better . My head doesn't feel heavy and it has stopped squeezing my brain so I could sit up . I looked at my hands and thinking , "why not test this so called magic ?" . I snap my fingers and a ball of fire appeared on the palm of my hand , I looked at it and mesmerise how pretty it looked . Then I closed my the palm with my fingers , the fire was put out . I have must gotten this fire stuff from Lionel , considering he has fire for eyes . I continued waving my hands back and forth and moving stuffs from in my room from one corner to the other . So I decided to take it up a notch , looking outside the window I saw my dad getting the paper . I pointed my finger to his robe and focus on it , and move it downwards . Immediately , his robe got pulled down and his bare chest and boxers are exposed . I couldn't help but laugh about it . Having these powers is  great ! I mean , I can barely do everything by with a lift of my finger . Then all of these thoughts starting to strike , "I am a witch . I have magic . My parents are not really my parents . I belong to a coven , Luna coven . I am next in line to lead the coven" . To be honest , now I'm kinda psyched because I've always imagined myself being a part of the stories I read and now I'm really a part of it ! Why was I overreacting last night ? That was silly of me and I wasn't thinking straight . I finally feel connected .

Later that night , Gina and Rachel came to visit me and they were curious why I didn't go to school today . "I had a bad headache and I couldn't even get up" , I answered . Gina quickly deducted and chuckled , "were you having a hangover or something Nina ?" . "Don't be silly Gina , Nina is under age" , Rachel said with such innocence . "You guys , if I told you this , you wouldn't believe me" , I said . Gina liked a challenge so she said , "try me" . So I told them everything , about Carla and Lionel , the ritual , the Earl Greg joke my dad made and not to forget , the fact I am a witch . " I believe that you're really got yourself wasted , Nina . I am so gonna talk to your parents about this , this ain't right girl" , Gina responded . "Magic is not real ! It never was and it never will ! Witches doesn't exist thus the ritual you just mentioned is bogus and the only way to explain that headache is you've got wasted and you making up stuffs in your head chica.." , she added and muttered in spanish . Rachel just look at me , and seem to search some logic in all of this so she said , "show us".  I smiled and point my finger to Gina's mouth and zip it . Gina couldn't talk and started to mutter and moving her arms high and low , then she walked up to Nina , holding my head and stare angrily into my eyes . I got scared that she is gonna possess me so I unzip his mouth . "Do not EVER do that , EVER again . Comprende chica ?" , Gina said . I nodded my head and Rachel could not help but to giggle . I just have to ask , "do you believe me now ?" . Rachel nodded but Gina is not quite convinced so she asked , "if you are a witch , you should have your powers all this time , right ?" . I answered , "no , in this case , we get our powers when we turned 16 so I need to go back to their house and learn how to take control of my powers and learn spells and know what it takes to lead the coven" , I explained . Rachel politely makes a remark , "then that means you're kind of royalty" , I answered  , "I think so" . Gina just sat down quietly so I just give her a moment to process , Rachel just have too much love , she will believe everything I say . Then Rachel asked , " so who you resemble more ? Carla , or Lionel ?" , I give it a thought and starting to compare my face with theirs , "I think I resemble Carla more , cause we have the same dark brown hair and thick-ish eyebrows ?" . Lionel has dark black hair and a very sharp jaw line , and such good posture cause he doesnt slouch and keep his back straight all the time . Come to think of it , maybe that's just how rigid people stand . During my conversation with Rachel , I heard Gina's voice , "you won't change right ?" . I stood up and walked towards her and I kneel down , putting my hand on her shoulders and say with a smile  , "never , the only thing that is going to change is I can zip your mouth whenever I want to" .
