Spellcaster
Beccalovesbumblebee~ This is a major plot bunny that has followed me around for about a week now. So I am going to try to write it. I do not own TFA.
There is some magic in this fic, and a lot of the supernatural. My OC is known as Caster A.K.A. Spellcaster. BTW Britt is short for Brittany
Chapter one
(Caster's P.O.V.)
It was just another day for me. I was moving from place to place, and wandering the streets looking for a place to stay. I knew that I should just go back to my Aunt's house but I just couldn't she didn't want me there. Don't get me wrong my Aunt loved me, but she wasn't exactly fit to care for me. My Aunt was trying at least she was looking to find me a new place to stay. I was hoping that it was a place that I could stay at for a little longer than a month. I had just been kicked out of my old apartment a couple of days ago. So here I was walking the streets dragging my suitcase behind me. My phone went off. I sat my stuff down, and pulled my phone out slowly answered it. "Hello?"
"Caster it's me Aunt Britt I found you a place to stay for the next couple of days," My Aunt said trying to sound like she was excited.
"Where?" I asked as enthusiastically as I could.
"3021 Oak lane apartment number 17," Aunt Britt said sounding as distracted as ever.
"Thanks Aunt Britt. I am going to get going. I will let you go now," I said slowly hoping that I was making it through to her.
"Ok," She answered blankly.
"I love you Aunt Britt," I said as I waited for a response.
It took a minute, but she finally responded. "I love you too," She said with absolutely no emotion in her voice.
"Bye," I said then I hung up.
I walked to my temporary home to get settled in. I was just thinking about my Aunt. I knew that she loved me even though she never sounded like she did.
"That's just what her magic did to her," I said slowly, knowing that it wasn't the truth. A man that my Aunt loved at some point cursed her with insanity that would only get worse as time went on. Aunt Britt was always distracted nowadays she couldn't focus, and she seemed uninterested in what happened around her. Her house could catch fire and she wouldn't notice until she had burned with it. My Aunt had sent me away, because she was afraid that he was still out there waiting to take someone else from her just like he did my Mother Britt's sister. That man had killed my Mother when I was little probably about five years old. After that my Father and my Grandmother took care of me until my Father died of a broken heart. I was about ten when he passed, shortly after my Grandmother had become ill, and she sent me away to live with Aunt Britt. I have lived like this for about two years now bouncing from place to place, and living on my own basically. I missed my parents, and my Grandmother but I knew that there was nothing I could do, or could have done to change what had happened.
For the past week I had been having horrible headaches. This is something that I talked to Aunt Britt about. I remember exactly what she told me, "Caster I already know you believe in magic, and you know it exists. I believe you are developing your powers, and they are deciding to manifest through your head aches." The surprising thing was that this was probably the sanest thing that my Aunt had said to me in a long time. It had actually sounded like she was there. Aunt Britt was right about the head aches though once they stopped I could move things with my mind. It was freaky at first but I got used to it.
I remembered my Grandmother telling me about magic and how good it was, but also how bad it was. She explained what the good magic could do, and the bad it could do also. When she told me about the bad that magic could do the only two thoughts I had were of my Mother, and my Aunt Britt.
I was going to learn the bad that magic could do on my own I just didn't know it yet.
(A few days later)
I was headed to the grocery store. I needed to buy food desperately. I had found some fruit, and a few boxed meals that would keep me fed for a few days. I was at the checkout counter bagging my groceries. I paid the cute blonde haired cashier with what little money I had left. I walked out of the store, and ran right into a huge man that towered over her. He looked down at her and flashed a devious smile. He reached down and hauled her up by the collar of her shirt.
"I think this little girl needs to learn some manners," The man said as three or four more guys joined him.
The man had me pressed against the wall. I was scared, but it only became worse when the others began to gather around them. I didn't have control of my powers yet so in defense I sent the men flying. They went a few feet but that was enough for me. I thought I saw a glimpse of a jet overhead as I slid to the ground, and just sat there paralyzed in fear. The man had got up off the ground and I could tell that he was angry. He closed the space between us with a few steps. He grabbed me and hauled me off the ground.
"Did you think you could get away with hitting me little mouse, because you have caught me on a really bad day," The man said getting in my face. That man
was right I could tell he was not having a good day when him and his thugs beat me up in the parking lot. They hit me until the purple began to show up around my right eye. I don't think that they were done beating me but someone had yelled at them just to inform me that the police had been called. They fled the scene as the cute blonde cashier ran over to me.
"Are you ok?" He asked me as I was lifted me to my feet.
"I think I will be ok," I said slowly.
"I am going to need you to talk to Captain Fanzone," He said just as the Captain's yellow compact pulled into the parking lot.
The cashier put his arm around me in an effort to comfort me, and to keep me steady because I was shaky on my feet.
Fanzone rolled down his window as he saw us approach. "Abe? Caster what the hell happened to you?" He asked in shock.
"She got jumped by some thugs," Abe said.
"Thank you for calling, and for coming to her rescue," Captain Fanzone said as he patted the passenger seat signaling that he wanted me to get in the passenger seat.
"Now that you have her taken care of I am going to get back to work, "Abe said as he walked back towards the store.
Me, and Fanzone just sat there in the parking lot for a few minutes before either of us spoke.
"What happened now Caster?" Fanzone asked.
"Before you ask I wasn't looking for trouble Fanzone, I just ran into the guy," I said to the head of the Detroit police.
"I believe you kid. So where are you staying nowadays?" Fanzone asked as he raised an eyebrow.
I told him my temporary address and apartment number.
Fanzone sighed. "You know I don't like your living arrangement Caster," He said giving me a look of genuine worry.
"I know Captain, but it isn't going to change you know my Aunt," I said, and Fanzone nodded.
"I would just feel better if we put you in foster care until you are eighteen," Fanzone said, and as many times as he had said that statement this time I knew he meant it.
"No! I won't go! I won't! I will not leave my Aunt Britt all alone in the world! I am the only family she has left!" I screamed.
"Yes you are her only family, but look at where we are Jul-"
"I told you never to call me that!" I yelled cutting him off as he almost called me by my real name.
"Fine Caster, but look at where we are. Wouldn't you like to have an actually home for more than a month, and people that actually care for you," Fanzone said calmly even though I could tell he was getting frustrated.
"My Aunt Britt does care for me," I said. I had heard enough, I opened the passenger door and got out. I ran away from Fanzone only glancing back only to see Fanzone looking back at me.
I ran in a random direction. I had closed my eyes for a second to wipe away the tears that were stinging my eyes. I was still running when I hit a wall at least I thought it was a wall until something wrapped around me. It was a hand. I was in the hand of a huge robot! I was freaking out. One instant I was in the robots hand the next thing I knew I was in the cockpit of jet. I began to struggle so restraints wrapped around me tightly. As I struggled the restraints became tighter to the point where I couldn't breathe. That was the point that I gave up struggling and the restraints loosened.
"Good Spellcaster. I am your Master," Said a voice that I was pretty sure was the robot.
"How did you know my name?" I asked.
"Isn't that what they call witches these days Spellcasters," The robot said.
"I guess, but how did you know that I'm a-"
"Witch well I saw what you did to those thugs, and well I have been searching for a witch," The robot said.
"For what?" I asked.
"You'll find out," He responded.
I didn't like that answer not at all, but I knew better than to push him any farther. He didn't seem like the merciful type.
He took me into one of the abandoned mines on the outskirts of Detroit. He then locked me inside of some sort of holding cell which reminded me of a huge fish tank. I soon learned that the robots name was Megatron, but I was to refer to him only as Master. I was only to speak when he spoke to me, and I was to behave or else. He promised me that if I did what he said I would get to go home free without a scrape. No matter what I would do what I was told and hold my tongue. I just was hoping that my Aunt Britt hadn't sensed that something was wrong, because if she did she was going to get sick with worry. My phone began
to ring I looked at the number and it was my Aunt Britt.
"Spellcaster you will not answer that phone," Megatron commanded.
"But... Yes Master," I said in true defeat. I did as I was told as hard as that was. I could feel my Aunt Britt's panic. I shut my eyes and tried to astral project myself to her. As I focused I felt myself leave my body. When I appeared in front of Aunt Britt she went as pale as a sheet.
"Ahhhh a specter!" My Aunt Britt yelled as she swung at me. I put my hand up to block her. Her hand went straight through me.
"Aunt Britt it's me Spellcaster," I said but my voice came out gargled like I was losing connection.
"Caster?" She asked.
"Yes Caster, I am fine Aunty don't worry," I said then I felt myself snap back into my body.
I opened my eyes to see Megatron staring back at me. "Spellcaster are you alright?" Megatron asked. I nodded slowly in response. "I thought your spark had stopped." He actually sounded genuinely concerned I knew this was just a ruse. He slowly handed me a small leather bound purple book. The book felt warm in my hands.
"I have a spell in this book that I need you to memorize, and learn to enchant with," Megatron said showing me the spell. As I read it my eyes widened with shock. I couldn't believe that I was going to do this.
Beccalovesbumblebee~ This may not explain everything yet, but it will all come together soon.
