The Witch's Son

Chapter 8: Vision Stopper

I was in a field, alone. My eyes stung as the sun's rays beat down on me.

" Tobias." I felt someone whisper in my ear.

It was a girl's voice.

" Tobias." She whispered again.

I spun around looking for the source. I couldn't see her.

" Hello!" I called out into the empty field.

" Tobias, come catch me !" She called back.

The scene changed.

I was running through the field. Chasing the girl again. As always we were laughing, we were happy.

My chest warmed with this new feeling. I caught up to her and like always we fell together. Once we stopped she was on top of me. Her blank face smiling down at me.

What is her name?

" Tobias." She whispered as she leaned down.

Our lips moved closer and closer.

I wanted to say her name. It's like I know it but it just won't come out.

As our lips were about to touch she stopped and smiled.

" Find me." She whispered.

I jumped up, nearly falling off my bed. Halin squawked at my sudden movement. His large wings beat against the roof.

" Are you alright master?" He asked.

" Yes, Halin I'm alright." I groaned, rubbing the sleep from the corner of my eyes.

First visions now this girl is plaguing my dreams. I have to stop this.

Today is my day off before training begins. So today I will make the vision stopper.

I reached over my and pulled my notebook out of my jacket. I flipped through the pages until I got to the vision stopper.

" Fuck." I hissed, I had forgotten that I didn't finish copying down the recipe.

My mam is consistently looking through the book. It never leaves her sight, how am I going to get it?

" Don't suppose you have any ideas?" I asked Halin.

" Sorry master but I don't. But I'm sure you will come up with something."

" Yeah, I'm sure I will." I sighed.

While I sat and thought about all my strategies the smell of fresh pancakes wafted up through the floorboards. My stomach growled at the smell.

" Ohh master I have an idea, I have an idea!" Halin shrieked.

" Well spit it out then."

" Why don't you just ask her for the book."

" I don't know bud, she never really lets me use the book. But it might work. I'll ask her and if she says no then I'll come up with something else."
