Chapter 1: The Beginning

Fourteen years back a little girl was born. This girl wasn't just an ordinary girl, she was a witch, although she didn't know it yet. When she was jsut a little baby her parents died and she was sent to live with her older brother, Wade and his wife, Natalie.

" APHELIA!" roared Wade. Aphelia stormed down the stairs.

" WHAT!" she screamed at Wade. She hated being yelled at, especially by her own brother, but he yelled anyways. Sometimes he yelled so hard the floor shook!

" Natalie needs help with setting the table. Your sister Courtney doesn't want to do it and Natalie is cooking, so you'll have too!" laughed Wade. Aphelia glared at him.

" Do it yourself! I have much better things to do, thank you very much!" smiled Aphelia.

" Oh? and what's that? talk to your little mice friends? COME on!" sneered Wade. Aphelia's eyes turned red with anger.

" Talking to mice isa lot better than sitting and listening to three overgrown, pigheaded rats!" and with that she stormed right back up the stairs. She hated it when Wade, Natalie, and Courtney teased her, but there wasn't a thing she could do about it. it always got on her nerves. she laid down on her bed and opened a book.

An hour later Aphelia came back down stairs and decided to join everyone at the dinner table. Everthing was quite peacful until Courtney opened her big mouth.

" Aphelia, how come I am so pretty and your not?" she sneered. Aphelia looked up at Courtney and smiled.

" Oh, I don't know, Courtney. Could it be because your a fat snob and Wade and Natalie spoil you rotten?" she snapped. Courtney opened her mouth to say something back, but she stopped.

" Aphelia! I will not tolerate you talking like that! Why, it's that kind of behavior and attitude that makes you as ugly as you are today!" yelled Natalie. Aphelia looked at Natalie, who started to scream. On the table next to Natalie's silverware was a big chunk of her hair.

" Aphelia! Go to your room this instant! No dinner for you, you stupid, rotten girl!" roared Wade. Aphelia looked at him in anguish.

" Fine with me! I don't like coming down here and talking with you guys anyways! and FYI, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" she screamed. She turned on her heels and ran to her room. Why do I have to live here with these idiots! she thought, they always push me around! Looking around her dingy, small, cluttered room she laid down on her bed. She must have dozed off, but when she woke up a half an hour later she heard a bunch of hammering on her door.

" WADE! YOU WILL NOT LOCK ME IN HERE! THIS IS CHILD ABUSE! WADE!" she screamed as she pounded on her door. all she heard was laughter. over the next few days she was locked in her room, reading, and doing all she could to entertain herself. it hadn't occured to her that her birthday was only a few days away.
