Chapter 2 - Destiny Revealed

Hanon stared at the man in utter shock. This couldn't be possible, could it? She probably would have known if someone was watching her, especially someone like him. He was wearing a wizard like robe and hat and carried a staff with him.

"What do you mean, you've been watching me for a long time. How long is a 'long time' in your book?" Hanon asked.

"I've been watching you since you were born, Hanon. And you have a destiny bigger than you have ever imagined."

Hanon looked at Alexander skeptically. How could that be true? She wasn't the destiny type. No one even looked at her or acknowledge her existence. Before she could say anything though, a big commotion started. Hanon looked at Alexander to see the fear in his eyes. Suddenly, Alexander grabbed Hanon's hand and pulled her quickly into the darkness of the alleyway, where he had once been.

Hanon was about to say something but Alexander covered her mouth. Her eyes were large with fear and what she saw next would only make her fear grow, if that was possible. A large group of people came into the alley, and they appeared to be looking for something... or someone.

Realization suddenly stuck her and she turned her head slightly so she could look at Alexander, who looked back at her, he had worked out that she had figured everything out, and nodded his head to crarify that she was correct.

When the crowd had finally cleared, Alexander released Hanon and walked out of the darkness again, shortly after Hanon followed and it was clear she wanted answers.

"Okay, you've got some explaining to do. What were you talking about when you said 'I had a destiny bigger than I ever imagined'? Who were those guys and why are you here now if you've been watching me since I was born?" Hanon asked all at once, without letting Alexander say anything.

Alexander knew that he couldn't get out of this and decided that it would be better if he told Hanon the whole story. He sighed wondering where to begin.

"Okay, I'll start with explaining about your destiny which is to not only save your world, but the Witch world too."

"The Witch world?" Hanon asked doubtingly.

"Yes, the witch world. It was long ago when the queen of the witch world feel in love with a human, but was betrayed by him, and there on out, she swore vengence on all human's. The legend states that a young girl will defeat her and bring the world to peace once more. That's your destiny, Hanon."

"Okay. So what about those people who came in here?" Hanon asked.

"Those people are very dangerous, Hanon. They mean to take you out with any means nessacary and take out anyone who is helping you" Alexander said sadly.

"But I haven't done anything to them!" Hanon cried out, getting slightly worried now.

"I'm afraid it doesn't matter to them. All they care about is protecting the queen at any means nessacary."

Hanon nodded slowly. Even though she didn't like what he was saying, there was nothing she could do except listen to what he had to say.

"Alright. But there's one thing still bothering me. Why didn't you tell me this sooner, if you were watching over me since I was born, I mean, you had plenty of oppotunities to do it." Hanon asked

"That was because you were to young and couldn't handle another burden along with what you were already having to cope with."

Hanon nodded, seeming satisfied with the answer she recieved.

"Okay. So what now?" she asked, not sure what was going to happen next

"Go home, I'll be back when the time is right." Alexander replied and before Hanon could say anything, he was gone.

Hanon had had enough. All she wanted was to just go home and go to bed. She sighed, and then started to walk out of the alley and back home. When she got home, she went to her room, placed her bag down and opened it, taking a brightly coloured book out, and began to do her homework, or at least, she tried to. She just couldn't concentrate on anything ever since that man appeared and told her about her destiny.

After a few more minutes of sitting there, Hanon sighed and got up, going to her bed and lying down on it, clinging a stuffed toy rabbit that she had gotten from her sister before the accident. After a while, she fell asleep, still clinging the soft toy in her arms unaware of what was to come the next day.
