Summary: Dawn is half witch, half mortal. Her coming of age in the witches world is quickly approaching. With this she'll have to devote herself to the world that is supernatural entirely, with no connections to the mortal world. Will she accept this fate? Or will she create her own destiny?
"You must choose!"
Dawn shot up in her bed and sighed as she ran her hand along her face. Another nightmare. Or should she say the same nightmare...again.
She could feel the sweat on her body and her long hair clingy to the back of her neck from it. She gathered her hair and quickly pinned it up on the top of her head. Then she threw her covers off of her.
She walked over to her calendar and looked at the Sunday that was quickly approaching. Her sixteenth birthday would be on Sunday. A day that she should be excited for, but she couldn't be. You see, Dawn wasn't a normal girl. Dawn Berlitz was half witch and half mortal. She was currently splitting her life in two. She attended a private school with mortals and was even a cheerleader. But when she came home, she had to do her mortal homework, plus practice keeping her magic tamed and in control, especially with her sixteenth birthday approaching. Her magic had been going haywire as of late, because of her coming of age to her magical being.
But with her turning sixteen, she knew she was about to lose a part of herself. Her coven was going to want her full devotion to the magical world, but she didn't want that. She wasn't like the other witches. She had a part of her that was mortal. She needed the interaction!
"Dawn, are you awake?"
"Yes!" she yelled.
Dawn lived with her aunt and uncle who had taken her in when her mother had died. Her father had been a warlock and her mother mortal. Upon Dawn's birth, her mother had died. Leaving her an orphan until her relatives had been contacted. They were full-blooded witches, but had to tell Dawn the truth as she grew up. Her father was unknown, because it had been a night of passion.
Sighing, she gathered her uniform and went to shower.
"Thanks for the ride, auntie." she said.
"Of course, Dawn. Remember straight home after school."
She resisted rolling her eyes, and just nodded her head.
Hilltop Prep the school she had been going to ever since her aunt and uncle had pulled her out of the public school and enrolled her into a private school. They had wanted her to get used to a private school atmosphere since that was how the witch's world was ran in their education.
She smiled as she felt arms wrap around her from behind.
"Good morning, Dawn." a male's voice said as a kiss was placed to her cheek.
She turned around in his arms and smiled at her boyfriend, Ash Ketchum.
"Morning, Ash."
This was one of the many reasons she was dreading Sunday. She didn't want to have to break up with Ash. She cared for him deeply. Plus, she had all of her friends here in the mortal world and her cheerleading...her coach said she could get a cheerleading scholarship for college if she wanted. But nothing of the mortal world was of interest to her family when she told them of this. They made sure she knew her time was close to ending. Soon she would be a witch only. No more connections to the human world.
"You okay?"
"Huh?"
"You spaced out. I asked if you wanted to hangout after school today."
Dawn frowned. "I can't. I'm grounded since I smarted off to my aunt last night."
Ash was quiet for a few moments.
"What about your birthday?"
"Huh?"
"Your birthday. It's Sunday. How about we hangout then?" he asked.
Dawn could feel the tingling in her hands as her emotions were threatening to overcome her and set her powers off. She was dreading Sunday and the thought of Ash being around that day...
"I'm not sure. My family have big plans, secrets planned and I don't know how long it'll last."
Any further discussion was ended as the morning bell rang. Dawn was never more grateful for school to be starting than in that moment.
"I'll see you at lunch." Ash said as he walked her to her locker.
"See you then,"
He placed a kiss to her cheek once more and left to go to his own locker.
"You two are just adorable." her girl best friend, Leaf said as she opened her locker which was beside Dawn's.
Dawn closed her locker and waited for Leaf to gather her belongings so they could walk together.
"So any plans for your birthday with your boyfriend? Are you two gonna...?"
Dawn felt a blush take over her face at Leaf's suggestion.
"Leaf! No!"
"There's nothing wrong with it. Well as long as you're safe..."
"Leaf!"
The other girl laughed at her friend's embarrassment.
"Okay, okay, I'll stop."
"Thank you..."
Dawn gripped her books tighter that she held against her chest as she could feel the tingling again. Her magic really needed to stop being so unpredictable. Come Sunday, it would.
"Dawn!"
"What?!"
"We're here."
Dawn saw that Leaf stood in the doorway of their classroom and she had walked right past it, lost in her thoughts.
"Oh, right. Thanks Leaf, I was lost in thought."
Halfway through the day it was now lunch.
"I'll catch up." Dawn said as she and Leaf walked towards the cafeteria.
"You okay?" Leaf asked.
"Yeah, just have to stop by the restroom."
"Want me to wait?"
"No, go ahead. I know they have your favorite today, so I don't want you to miss out on getting it."
Leaf nodded her head.
Dawn hurried into the restroom and checked to make sure no one else was there. Once she was sure no one was there, she faced the door.
"Clauditis et silentium..."
Now no sound or anyone would be able to get in or escape.
Within a few moments after she had uttered the chant, she lost control of her magic. Lights flickered in the bathroom, some even shatter. The sinks started to run with water. The hand dryers turned on. The stall doors opened and closed aggressively.
Looking at her reflection, Dawn saw that she was levitating slightly.
She could feel herself gaining her control again. Her feet touched the ground, the doors stopped, the water turned off, and the hand dryers shut off.
She splashed some water on her face and waved her hand to rid the enchantment and left the restroom.
