4- Have Faith In Me

4- Have Faith in Me

 Wow.

 I can honestly say I wasn't expecting that. I mean I knew he sounded evil the name just does, but him being my real father. Does that mean my mother could be alive? Hmph I just don't who to trust or what to believe or who I really am? I just about grasp the concept of being a Hecate and the magic stuff, but this I don't think my brain can comprehend any of it. I'm actually beginning to think what if this is all a massive joke and I'm hallucinating or I'm still in the coma and this is what I imagine.

"Andromeda I'm sorry I shouldn't have, Alexei is going to kill me and and I have just ruined everything for you probably making it worse, oh my g-"Valentina babbled.

  "Its fine, I er just need some fresh air." I said hurrying out of the room.

 I walked out into the garden over to the grand oak tree. It stood out against the vibrant green shards of grass and the daisies which poked out from the soil. I lay down leaning against the tree, looking on at the sunset. It was relaxing watching the colours slowly change from dark orange to deep red, further on to deep purples and teal blues.  I best go inside seeing as it is getting dark, wow time is going by so fast. I mean it must be the middle of March by now, near my birthday. My sweet sixteen. 

 I twisted the golden doorknob and gave the door a shove allowing me to enter my bedroom. I don't think I've ever been so happy to see a bed in my entire life. I slid under the covers where I fell in to a deep slumber.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

 Urgh! Why now?! It must be only eight thirty on a Sunday morning. What is so freaking important that I have to get up now? I was having a pretty good dream, where I was eating my weight in chocolate. 

 "What do you want?" Urgh it was Joseph, he's not exactly the first thing I want to see in the morning. 

 "Get dressed, your si̱mánei lessons start today, meet me downstairs by the grand table." He said swiftly walking away. 

 What the hell was his problem? Ah never mind, I best get dressed before he throws a hissy fit or something. I am not in the mood for any arguments today. I just feel so physically drained. I took some clothes out of the wardrobe and lazily dressed, not bothering about my appearance because in the end I have no one to impress. I made my way down the winding staircase, towards the grand table where Joseph sat twirling a knife in his hand. He didn't look as cold as I have seen him, he looked calm and relaxed which was quite comforting. 

 "So, what am I going to be learning then?" I said whilst sliding onto a chair

 "Well, we are going start off with a basic si̱mánei or spell."

 "Which is?" I questioned raising my right eyebrow.

 "If you had let me finish, you are going to make this knife float in the air." He said smirking, he knew I couldn't do it but I will prove him wrong even if it takes all day. 

 "Doesn't seem too hard."

  "We'll see, so you put your hand about an inch away from the knife and say rise..."

 "Is that it? Wow it seems a lot easier than I expected."

"That's where you're wrong, you have to say rise in Greek which is áf̱xi̱si̱." As soon as he said it the knife began to rise into the air, his finger directing its every move. 

 "So that really is just it?" I genuinely did not think it would be that easy. 

"Well go on then if you think it is that easy." He chuckled. 

  "Woah, woah, woah hold up did Joseph just laugh, are you feeling well?"

"It was more of a chuckle actually. Come on it's your turn."

  "JESUS IT'S BEEN AN HOUR AND NOT EVEN ONE LITTLE MOVEMENT I GIVE UP!" I yelled in defeat, it was so bloody hard to move a stupid knife a few centimetres in the air. "HEY WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?! THAT ISN'T GOING TO HELP ME LEARN YOU'RE SUCH A RUBBISH TEACHER I AM GOING TO GET VALENTINA TO TEACH ME!"

 "Hey, don't blame the teacher it's not my fault you're not a good student." He said still laughing at me.

 "URGH," I took a deep breath. "I.Give.Up." 

 "Giving up? You're seriously giving up on trying to do a simple spell and you're supposed our great hope. I do hope it turns out to be Adonis instead of you."

  That tears it I am going to show that, that thing. 

 "áf̱xi̱si̱!" I yelled, banging my clenched fists on the table. 

"What the hell? How that possible not even Alexei is able to do that without his ring."

I looked around. The table was above the ground even Joseph was. I couldn't believe my eyes; every single object in the room was levitating. I could not believe my eyes. I removed my hands from the table with everything landing with a thud on the ground. 

  " No,no it can't be true!" Joseph exclaimed. 

 "What?!" I said shakily, oh my god pull yourself together girl. 

 "It can't be you, it's just not. Wait when is your birthday?"

 "March 13th, why?"

 "Tomorrow."

  "Okay." This is getting weird. 

"I need to speak to Alexei and Adonis." Joseph murmured. 

 "Who's Adonis?" Wow, there are so many new people and it's only been like two days. 

 "Doesn't matter." Joseph walked off continuing to murmur to himself.
