A witch's tale (The witch chronicles, book 1)

Chapter 7: Dreams and help

I was unaware of what was happening. It was my freaking past! What was I suppose to do? Say 'hi, I'm your daughter Pheobe. I know you are holding me as a baby but I am from the future." NO! Wrong answer. We are not allowed to mess with the past. So, I did the only thing I could do. Watch.

I got bored. Nothing was happenings. My parents were at a crib. Which I guess is where Baby Pheobe is. They were cooing sweet words that I would never hear. My adoptive mother never cared much about me.

I started to feel sad and depressed so I ditched looking around making sure nobody sees me.

When, I hear footsteps down the hall. I follow the sound. That leaded me to a room. I can't open the door. I'll scare the person to death.

I keep going to the door, there's a crack. So I look into it. A little boy about 2 or 3 years old. He looks so young. And kinda like me. Same blonde hair and dark green eyes. He could be my twin.

Well, my older twin since he would be older than me in my present life.

I was watching him carefully. He looked so much like me. When I was about to leave to go look around, the voices from my long dead parents who were still alive right now in the past started.

"Leo Dareskestia, come here and see your new little sister." The mother yelled.

The little boy came out of the room and went to the crib not noticing me. How could he be my brother if I was an only child? Were my parents hiding the fact that they had two children and not one? Or did he run away before people knew? Maybe nobody cared? Where was he now? Dead? Unspoken of?

I followed to see how this would go. They all stood at a crib. Leo, who would be my brother, was there. He was near my baby head.

"What's her name, mommy?" Little Leo asked. The mother looked down.

"Phoebe. Phoebe Dareskestia. Welcome home little one." The mother said as she pressed her lips giving little me a kiss on the head.

"How old is she?" Curious little Leo asked.

"Only a few days old." The mother replied.

Only a few days old... This means that maybe it's this day that the fire happens. I hope not.

Little Leo approached little me and went close to my head. He whispered something in my ear.

"I will always take care of you. No matter what."

His words were sweet yet so sad because where was he when I was adopted? No where. Heck, I don't even remember him or even met him.

I got lost in my train of thoughts and then, I heard some movements in the kitchen. The sounds removed me from my thoughts.

What was that?

I rushed to where the noise was coming from. I noticed someone. A dark figure erupted from the growing flames.

I didn't recognize them.

This was the day that my parents would die. I tried hard to do something but a thought crossed my mind. Nobody could see me, hear me, or even feel me. I didn't exist. I'm only watching. Watching death takes his turn on my family.

I went back to the room and my parents were gone as I heard a battle In the back.

I looked at the crib where I was. So small and adorable. Leo was there. He picked little me up and went out the window. He used his cool powers to do so.

I watched him. We all heard the sound of two people slumping to the ground as I looked behind us. There were my parents as they took their last breath to say that they loved us. Then, death had finally come to end their battles.

I looked at Leo. He was furious. He ran to an adoptive centre and said that we were orphans. He didn't say much.

I watched all of this go down. It was awful. A total nightmare, not a dream. You heard me, a nightmare.

I tried to watch more but I was pulled out...

"Phoebe wake up." I heard Luna's voice.

"Huh?" I asked confused.

"Are you okay?" Chase said very slowly.

"I passed out. I'm not deaf." I told him pushing them off as I walked around the room remembering what happened. "Did my parents have another children?"

"Yes. He is unspoken of." Luna told me.

Looks like my search for Leo is a go.
