Beautiful Pain (A caster story)

Part 12 - Scene 1

                                                                      MARIA'S P.O.V

  Wow, I finally let it all out. I can't believe I actually did it. I really don't know what was I thinking. I was hoping he'd run away scared as hell, but no. He told me he'd be by my side. Maybe that was because I didn't tell him I was going to turn dark.

  Now I was hoping I wouldn't. I didn't want to go dark. I wanted to stay like this. I had some things I didn't want to lose. They say that after you go dark you don't remember anything from the previous life you had before you turn dark.

  I really don't want to forget all these. I want to remember. I want to feel. I want to be normal. It's not that easy to turn dark. In the beginning you can only remember of how you felt, but you can't feel even if you'd try.

  While thinking all this, I was walking and without noticing I was way deep in the forest. I had to find a way out before the dark falls. I can't get stuck in here. I just can't. In the same time I didn't want to leave this place. Believe it or not, I was scared to be near the lake. It made me feel all alone and I didn't want to be alone. Who wants to be alone anyway?

  I thought I'd keep walking a little more, trying to clear my head a little. In this few days a lot of things happened. I really don't know if they're good or not. At this point I have no idea what's good or wrong. There are times when I feel like I should quite trying. Sometimes I feel like I should just go with the flow.

                                                                                     *****  

  It looks like I made a mistake. I thought that I knew the forest very well, but I didn't. It was now dark and it was time for me to get back, but I couldn't. I had gone further than ever before. I was now way too deep into that place. The more I tried to find the way out, the deeper I went into the forest.

  I can't believe I had to be such a fool. Couldn't I think these shits there at my new home, close to the lake? Well, clearly I couldn't. Why? Because I was a dumb ass girl. 

  No need to hide it. I was scared. I didn't know what could possibly happen in there in the middle of the dark. I was trying to keep it calm, but I couldn't. It's true that I had these caster powers, but I didn't know how to use them at their full potential.

  It was so quiet. I don't think there was any animal or something like that. It looks like I was safe from those animals, but I don't know if I could be safe from other things. In the dark, there were so many evil caster things out.

  While trying to find a way out I was able to notice a light. Now that was weird. I don't remember to ever heard about people living in the forest. Unless if they weren't. Who could it be?

  I didn't know what to do. From one side I wanted to go in there and check out what was going on, but the other didn't want to go in there. I had to make up my mind and I had to do it quick. Without thinking it more, I thought to just go in there. I was dying to know what was going on.

  I walked towards that strange home in the middle of the forest, practically in the middle of no where. My mind was going wild. I was starting to think about all the possibilities, about everything and everyone I could find in there, but nothing could prepare me to this.

  I checked the time and I saw that it was almost midnight. I don't know why, but I gave a quick look to the sky. I don't usually do it. The sky was clear and the moon was full. Great!!! Just what I needed. Full moon, a mysterious house and midnight. Things couldn't get any better. ( NOTE THE SARCASM ) 

  I was now very close to that house. Even if I'd wanted to turn back, I'm sure I couldn't do it. I was now way too close.

 I knocked. No one answered. That was weird. Why would someone let the lights on, when no one was home?

 -I finally have the chance to meet you, my darling ! - a voice said. 

  I turned back to face the person who was talking to me. It was a tall man. His hair was gray. I could tell he was old, probably he was somewhere around his 60 or I don't know. He was wearing a black smoking with a very white shirt. He looked like he just came back from some important event.

 -Who are you? - I asked him. If there's something that I knew so far, was to never judge a book by its cover. You never know what's beneath the surface.

 -You'll have time to know me, my dear. - the man said. There was no way in this world, I'd go into some man's house without knowing him first. 

 -I'm repeating the question once again. Who are you? - I said with a harsh voice.

 -Well, my dear Maria, I think there's something they toughed you well. - the man said. How the hell in this world he'd know my name?

 -No wonder you're acting like this. You were just a baby the last time I saw you, but let me tell you that I know you quite well. - the man continued saying.

 How was that possible? Who was he? I was going crazy. There were like a million of thoughts, all coming out in the same instant. It couldn't. It couldn't be him, not him. Could he be the same person I was thinking he was?

 -Is your little mind finally starting to understand? - he said like he was reading my mind.

 -It can't ... You're not ... - I was stuttering, not being able to finish my sentences.

 -I guess you're right my dear. Come now, give your uncle a big bear hug. - he said in a sarcastic voice.

 What was he doing here? 

 -From how long? - I asked.

 -Since the beginning. - he said.

 - Why? - I asked.

 -Look into my eyes. - he said to me. I didn't want to do such thing. How could I know he wouldn't control me after that? I did. I looked at his eyes. There was something stronger then my logic that was now over me and no it wasn't about his dark powers.

 I looked at his eyes. They were white. How did that happen to him?

 -You know what this means, right? - he asked. Of course I did. If a dark caster loses his powers, his eyes turn white, but I couldn't believe him this easily. How did I know that he wasn't using contact lenses?

 -I never heard of humans who want to look like they're blind. - he said after I asked him that. I was trying to be strong and to act like some tough girl, but I couldn't. I was never tough.

  -What do you want? - I said to him.

 -For the moment, nothing. It's too late. You have to go to school tomorrow. I don't think you really want to let down that little friend of yours right? - he said.

  I can't believe one of the most darkest casters on the world was now in front of me, with no powers and actually taking care of me. This was one of those days that stay for a long time in someone's memory. It was a long day and I desperately needed some good sleep. I laid into one of the couches that were in there and fell asleep immediately. I couldn't wait for the next day. I couldn't wait to find out, what the tomorrow was going to bring to me.

HEY ALL!!! FINALLY WAS ABLE TO UPDATE SOMETHING. DO YOU TRUST TO MARIA'S UNCLE??? DID HE REALLY LOSE HIS POWERS AND IF HE DID HOW? 

I REALLY DON'T KNOW IN WHAT I'VE GOTTEN MYSELF INTO, BUT I'LL TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT, DURING THIS TIME. THE NEXT UPDATE IN ONE WEEK.
