The Last Witch

Chapter 4

As David slowly got up turning into Vlad, he crept into the bedroom Willow was sleeping in. He looked at her with calm eyes then he reached for her. Willow quickly woke up and pushed him away.

"Who are you? Where's David?!" Said Willow frightened.

"I'm Vlad nice to see you again little witch"

"How did you find me? Where's David!"

"In prison for hiding you away from me all those years ago."

"What do you want from me?"

"Dead or on a stone frozen mostly dead." Fear rose in Willows eyes she tried to get up and run but Vlad quickly grabbed her and pinned her down.

"Please Vlad don't hurt me. Whatever I did I'm sorry I have no memory please don't hurt me."

"I wish it was that easy little princess."

"Please Vlad I really don't know what I did I have no memory of anything."

"Oh Willow you think I don't know that? I'm the one who caused it. You of all people betrayed me." He gently touched her cheek. "So you must be punished for it."

"I don't understand."

"Shhh it will all be over soon." Vlad gently laid his hand on her chest, Willow tried to get free a bright light surrounded both of them and Vlad was sent flying off. She looked around a guy walked in with light blonde hair, his eye's one green one blue, he looked to be about 23. He was wearing a gray shirt with a long white jacket, black worn out jeans, and a pair of gray vans. He walked up to her.
"Willow?"
"Yes? Who are you?"
"Edwin Keller , nice to meet you I'm with the resistance against Vlad."
"Oh, look I really just want to go home."
"I can take you there but it's not your home in the human world."
She sighed a bit but nodded, she knew her human days were over, she needed answers. She needed her memories, she needed to know what happened between her and Vlad.
"Ya know it sucks." Said Edwin opening a portal back to his place.
"And what do you mean?" She looked at him confused.
"My own sister doesn't remember her brother." He looked down at her and kissed her cheek.
"B..Brother?"
"Yes. I'm your brother, now let's go home so I can keep you safe my spell can only keep Vlad asleep for so long."

They went through the portal. She looked around a small memory arose. She was about 6 or 7 years old she was running around these halls chasing Vlad and Edwin looks like they were playing tag. She snapped out of it and continued to follow Edwin, he was silent mostly just looking ahead he glanced down at her. He let out a deep sigh stopped walking and hugged her tight. She looked up at him and gently hugged back-
"You don't know how hard it's been without you." He said holding her tight.
"I'm sorry. But I still don't understand all of this." She looked down.
"Don't worry only time will tell I can tell you what I know but at dinner I bet you're starved."
"Yea a bit." She nodded giving him a smile.

After they ate she they sat there for a moment in complete silence she looked down holding her cold hands.

"Looks it's not easy to explain. But what I know is that Vlad is after you, he says you betrayed him. Whatever that means. But no one wants to see him succeed in his plans. He found David about 2 weeks ago and broke him releasing you from a dream seal, probably why you thought you were a high schooler in the human relm. It's scary to think that David's gone he was our toughest knight."
"So David really is gone?"
"Yes unfortunately."
She looked down a bit tears fill her eyes.
"But Vlad I don't know what got into him since you two were close. Since we were kids actually, he even asked you to marry him. But after the war he changed big time. So did you since your power increased."
"My power increased?"
"Yes every other child of our family gets a certain power that increases their ability's kind of like how humans get energy from monster. In a way. "
"But the effects only last a bit?"
"Yea not my best example but I'm just happy you're home."
"Where is our parents?"
Edwin looked down a bit leaning back in his chair.
"Vlad has them, in statues. He wanted to make them examples of his power so people would fear him."
"That's terrible!" She shouted stand up from her chair. Edwin got up and grabbed more water.
"Yea I know after David hid you away, that's when Vlad did it. I assumed he thought it would have you come out of hiding or something."
"Edwin I need my memory's back I can't do anything without them."
"I know but they have to come naturally I can't force them."
She sighed a bit looking down. "Sis I will do all I can I will take you to all the places we visited, for now go get some rest please."
"Okay I will." She walked to her room and looked around, it's a bit dusty. The walls had black and white wall paper with a flower design. The furniture was light Victorian blue shade. She sat on her bed and looked at her diary on the end table that had a picture of her and Vlad together. The picture looked like it was taken in a garden he was holding her she was kissing his cheek. She looked at her diary and picked it up.
"Maybe whatever is in this will help a bit."
