Tales Of Zatanna: Volume One
Chapter One
"Abracadabra Part One"
2 years ago, I discovered something unbelievably wrong with me. I started to feel different, I changed forever. I attended a Californian university for being a person in entertainment. I always enjoyed expressing thoughts and feelings and entertaining people through dramatic arts. Ever since I was nine, I wanted to show the world the secrets of magic in being a magician. I was stupid, I didn't mean for this to happen.
I remember the day as clear as water. The musky smell of old books and dust filled my big history class. It was a very humid and gross air to breath. I sat at the very top in the classroom. Not many people showed up to class to take their finals. We were studying ancient mythology. Then it hit me literally, a blue orb of lightning floated in front of me. Then it struck my chest. I felt some power serge rush through me, going through the blood flow in my veins.
I got home that evening feeling 'not myself' and thought of every possible way how no one could see the orb that hit me. Then it came to me again, the powerful feeling that I can do anything. I waved my hand in anger and a light spark of flame floated in mid air. I stared at it for a few seconds and it moved up and down slowly before my eyes. It was such a beautiful little ball of fiery light. Then, it moved quickly, hitting a painting on the wall, burning it up and falling to the ground in bursting flames. I can't believe it, I used magic, and I had to sit down because of all the excitement. "WOW, that was so cool" I remembered me saying. Since that day, I have been searching for answers by trying to find my apparently 'missing father.' He must know all the answers.
I finally got my gig in being a magician. I work in a massive theatre in California. I am still looking for my father, but I can't find anyone who knows of his whereabouts. But I have other problems; Killer Frost is in town, nicknamed Frost. And she won't rest until I have breathed my very last mortal breath. My last confrontation with her, she mentioned that I was born for a certain reason. I have a destiny to fulfill a 'Legacy, to save the innocents, and face to ultimate battle'. I've been told by many other villains that I have been destined to save the world from the creatures in the night. For the past few days, I have been tracking down Frost because she has the answers to my questions, I just know it.
Today, my magician act has to be the best I have ever done because most of the money is going to a charity. I am hoping that nothing goes wrong. I walked to my mirror in my dressing room and looked at the curls in my hair that went all the way down to the middle of my back. I am wearing a black vest with 3 white buttons, and a little black skirt with my Magician hat on. What people never knew is that that, my acts were real, the magic was real. Not a lot of people can say that everytime.
Just last week, I pulled Mr. Cuddles (my bunny) out of my magician hat. without people knowing that Mr. Cuddles was actually in my apartment. Throughout my two years of learning how to use magic, I have gained skills to control the element of fire and how to transport items to different places with just a simple command.
I walked towards the stage with the cheering audience and the bright lights beaming in my squinting eyes. I smiled and waved to the audience who were cheering for me loudly. "Witness my friends, my friend, my pet, Mr. Cuddles come out of my hat that is on my head. I lifted my hat off my head and started to shake it, so that people knew it was empty. I then moved my hand over the hat and said
"Abracadabra!" I said
Then, My white fluffy bunny came out and fell onto my hand. The whole theater screamed with excitement and they all cheered for me again. Then for my next act, I through my hat in the air and lit it up in fire in mid air. Everyone started to get really excited and all clapped so amazed. Then in a split second, my hat turned into a gigantic ice block.
"WOW!" the audience cheered.
I only knew one thing, Frost. I smiled and looked in the audience for Frost. But all I heard was the piercing laugh that echoed in the audience. A morbid chill attacked my spin. She was here to get me!
