I felt it. I felt it. A knot forms in my stomach. No, this wasn't supposed to happen, this was never supposed to happen. I am suddenly writhing on the floor screaming in agony. I feel the power, seeping into my veins once again the power that I sealed with a spell so many years ago. But I know fully well what had happened, I knew this was going to happen; Elena Gilbert was dead. And her death unsealed my most powerful spell, and my greatest secret.
FLASHBACK
"Anina my love, you look ill". I smiled to myself, even when he needed to be somewhere urgently he found time to care. I sometimes asked myself how I, of all the beautiful girls in the village Silas had taken a liking to me. Not that I was complaining. "Silas I'm fine, just a bit tired is all. You should go, Qetsiyah seemed quite urgent when she told you to meet her". I tried to hide the annoyance in my voice; Qetsiyah had needed to meet Silas quite a bit lately, always finding an excuse to leave me out of things despite the fact that I too, am a very powerful witch. "You look a lot worse than just tired Anina. Drink this elixir, it will make you feel better I promise" He handed me a vial of red liquid. "Silas I'm fine, honestly". "I won't take no for an answer, drink it". He said it more forcefully this time. I knew better than to argue so I simply scowled at him and gulped the disgusting liquid down. He smiled at me, it was a strange smile. It was as if he knew something I didn't Before I could ask about the odd gaze he turned on his heel and bid me farewell, promising to see me later tonight. I shrugged and walked back into the hut to tend to my duties.
Strange I thought to myself. It was now dawn and neither Silas nor Qetsiyah had returned. I had already tried a locator spell, but something kept interfering with it. That settles it; I'm going to go looking for them. I don't make it very far, as I see Qetsiyah approach. I don't think I've ever been so happy to see her. I'm so happy that I actually run up to her, pulling her into a tight embrace. "Where on earth have you been?" she doesn't answer, I stare at her, the cold in her eyes sends an uncomfortable jolt through my body. I can sense a negative aura, something bad has happened. "Where is Silas? What happened?" Still no answer, "Qetsiyah what happened?!" I say desperately. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my chest, clenching my fists in pain as I collapse onto the ground. Tears blur my vision, the pain worsens. "What are you doing?!" I screech "Qetsiyah stop!" But she doesn't, she doesn't stop. I feel like I'm falling, the pain begins to numb, and suddenly I feel nothing. And I know, I know I have died, I know Qetsiyah has killed me. And I only have one word running through my mind: Why?
