Knowing
I was on my way to a new world,a world unknown to me - The World of Magic . The same world from where my whole family is associated.
I was born in London . My parents died when I was a kid . Since then my grandfather took care of me , but he too had to go so I was left with some old family friends who considered me as their own daughter.
Anyway , while I was living with my grandfather I discovered the strange world of Magic . At first I did not understand what it was so thinking it as a illusion I thought it as a joke , but when one day I saw my own grandfather doing it I was shocked to my wits . I saw him with wide eyes .
I was running downstairs as I was getting late for my school . He thought I had already gone so he was practicing some spells . As soon as I reached downstairs I heard him mumbling some words . I thought that he was having some attack I hurried to the hall entrance and reaching upon the living room door I saw some strange lights sparkling . I got even more scared when I opened the door and saw my grandfather standing in front of those lights . As he mumbled something the lights changed their eyes almost popped out of my eye scoket . I gasped loudly .
On hearing my gasp he slowly turned toward me with his hands raised up in the air like a criminal when police catch him redhanded . I then noticed he had a wand in his hand from which at first faint lights came out for sometime and then they stopped .
As he looked to my horror struck face he dropped his wand to the floor .
"Melissa, honey. Are. You. Alright?" Those were the last words I heard and then I fainted from the shock.
When I woke up I was on the couch lying completely alone . I stood up to find my grandfather . I looked in the living room . He was not there , but his wand was still lying on the floor . I went nearer to it to get a closser . As I touched it I felt a sudden jolt of current in my body . Scared , I droped it back on the floor and went looking for my grandfather once again . I thought he might be in the lawn since it was his favourite place so went towards the backdoor , but as soon as I walked near the backdoor I heard my grandfather speaking to someone in a low voice from the kitchen , curious I walked near to the the main kitchen door to hear more clearly.
"Yes yes ...... I...I know that it was irresponsible but I thought that........yes I think that the time has come......No she has to .It is too dangerous to live with me now.........No I will not allow her to have the knowledge about it.........I don't know if she has it or not but......... No!Even if she has it I will not let her enter this world and that is my final dissison........ I have an old family friend of mine here and I will talk to them about taking her in ........."
I already had tears in my eyes , but this opened the floodgate . He was sending me to live with someone . But why ? I don't understand it ! Was he abandoning me ? Is it not enough that I have already lost my parents as now I'll loose my beloved grandfather too.
With all these questions I ran into the kitchen and yelled " ..ANYWHERE!"with a hoarse and sobbing voice as I was crying earlier.
He turned to look at me with a shocked expression on his face . When he recovered , he lowered the phone and asked" Mel ! Oh ! Are you alright ?" Then he put the phone back on his ear and wispered "I will speak to you later"
"No grandfather I am not going anywhere ! I will not go and live with your friend." I started in a stern voice but it soon became pleading as I started crying again "Please grandfater don't send me anywhere else . I looked into his eyes and wispered"...." as I said my voice broke .
"Melissa , honey I am sorry but you have to for your own good....."He started but I interrupted him.
"Are you abandoning me too ? Are you too leaving me just like mom and dad ? Am I going to be all alone again ? " I knew I was being harsh on him . As I had lost my parents , he had too lost his son and daughter. But this was the only way to stop him from leaving .
"NO!" He shrieked "No honey ,No . I am not going to leave you like them I just want you to live with my friends family for a while......"
"FOR A WHILE?" I yelled sobbing."What do you mean by 'For a While' ?Why can I not live with you?
What wrong have I done? "I asked, puzzeled . Since I don't stay with him that much as most of the time he is out . I only get to see him at bedtime .
"You have not done anything wrong sweetheart , its just......Well it is just not safe for you anymore to live with me." He said in a voice that was sounding like he was confessing some horrible mistake.
Wait! Was living with me a horrible mistake?
But why is he acting so wired now. Till yesterday it was all ok and today suddenly he is sending me away. But why?
Then I remembered the incident this morning.
Oh! Was it because I had seen something I shouldn't have seen , something that was ment to be kept as a sceret by him.
Soon my thoughts grew so big that I started voicing them without knowing it.
"Has it to do something from what happened this morning? " As these words where out of my mouth my grandfathers face froze in horror, and from this expression I realised that unconsciously I had hit on the right nerve . This gave me the confidence to speak even more loudly to keep my point."It is because of that , isn't it?"
He quickly composed his face and replied "Yes,I suppose so."
"What was it , grandfather? What was that? I saw some lights." I asked, puzzeled again.
"Lets leave it here , shall we." He requested.
What does he mean by 'leave it here'.He is not getting away with it so easily . Oh! he was talking to someone on the phone a moment ago about keeping some secret form me.
"You were just talking about some you will keep it from me at any cost . Is it that sceret that you are afraid I might know about ? Is it associated with those shining lights? Tell me grandfather.I have the right to know it!"
"No! You do not know what danger you are asking for" He was angry now , but I was not backing out so easily.
"YES I DO!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
After about 1hour of arguing he gave in . Then he told me about the mythical world . The world where I belongED . The world where my parents used to live . He also told me that my parents where killed by a monster who wanted to kill me too . It is because of which he had kept me in the dark about it all these years .
Then after about a week I was moved to a close family friends house . They were were nice people . They had two childern one son and one daughter , both of nice nature.
Almost every week my grandfather used to come and visit me , but then suddenly one week he did not come . I waited the whole night but he did not show up. This continued for about a month.
Then one fine day I got the news that he was dead.
