Coven of Power

Jane's Story

I'm sick so I'm updating!

Isabella's POV

I bat the hand away from my face with one hand, my eyes still closed.
"Wake up Izzy." It's Jane. I touch her wrist and send her my tired thoughts of me ripping her apart. She chuckles.
"As if I couldn't take you." She brags. I open my eyes and ask her through my thoughts what happened last night after I fell asleep. "Carlisle is concerned about you he knows you where in pain. Alec was also in lots of pain last night, we don't know why." At her words about Alec my heart gives a little tug and whimper. Stupid heart. Then I remember my nightmare. I sit straight up.
"Jane! Are you okay?" I blurt out. Then I realize it happened over a century ago. She looks at me sad eyes.
"No. I'm not. You can't even imagine how it felt." She trails off. This sparks my insatiable curiosity.
"Try to explain." I urge her.
"It happened so long ago but I remember it like it was yesterday......my brother and I were always gifted. I had bit of a temper. Once I was playing in the grass with a doll and a girl took it from me. I was so angry and suddenly she was on the floor, screaming with a pain-filled voice. I grabbed my doll and I ran home and didn't look back. The townspeople where burning people at the stake for even a slight accusation of being a witch. Or wizard, I suppose. One night, they came. They held torches and Alec and I where not children anymore. No more excuses of us being too young to be capable of that type of power. Nineteen. That's how old we where. They dragged us to a field, two stakes in the middle and," Jane's voice falters for the first time, "And they tied us to them. We where screaming and kicking and begging but to no avail. They seemed to deaf to our pleas. Our own parents where in the front row, not even begging for us to be spared. As they lit us on fire I wished for them to feel pain. That's how I got my gift. Alec wished for it all to just go away. He didn't care if he died, he just didn't want me to be in pain. Watching your twin burn at the stake and not being able to help....the hardest thing I ever has to go through." I hug her immediately and she silently sobs into my shoulder. She's so young! Yes I'm younger, but to go through that at such a young age and not know what's happening. To wake up as a newborn? She's right. I can't imagine that and I don't want to try. She lifts her head from my shoulder.
"Thank you Izzy. I needed to tell someone that. Let's get you dressed." I'm wide awake now so I step out of bed into the chilly air. I chose tight jeans and a low cut, long sleeved shirt and I pair it with a silver necklace. I look pretty good.
"What do you want to do?" I ask. What is there to do in a castle?
"Let's go shopping!" She squeals. Stake me.
