Chloe's POV

I stood in the middle of a graveyard, surrounded by fog. I narrowed my eyes and saw the figure of a woman standing some distance away from me. She was my mother.

"Mom?" I said, half in hope, half in disbelief, "Is that you?" Mom turned to me and her eyes held a trace of sadness in them.

"Oh, Chloe," she whispered, loud enough for me to hear, "I'm so sorry,"


I bolted upright. My forehead smacked something hard.

"Ow!" cried a voice, distinctly feminine. I looked to see a girl with blonde hair and white skin, who was rubbing her forehead. She wore a yellow top and jeans.

"I… I….I'm sorry," I stuttered. I always had that problem. When I was nervous, scared or shy, my voice would immediately go to stuttering mode. The girl, to my surprise, let out a friendly smile.

"It's okay. I'm Liz. Nice to meet you," she said, and I awkwardly shook the hand she offered to me.

"I'm Chloe," I said, before feeling a numbing pain in my head. It felt like my head had bricks of ice attached to it and it hurt like crazy, although not as much it would usually hurt when the witch hit me. I gasped and touched my head. Liz looked concerned.

"What…. Oh sorry, Derek said that you weren't supposed to sit up too much. He said you hit your head pretty hard when you fell," she said.

"O...kay," I got out as I gritted my teeth and lay down on the bad. The pain was still there, but it became more bearable.

"I'm sorry. Don't worry; Tori will be here in a minute," she said. I didn't know who Tori was exactly and I didn't have energy to care either. I sighed. I heard the sound of a door creaking open. Liz looked up.

"Simon? Where's Tori?" Liz asked, sounding shocked. The person –most likely a boy – named Simon sighed.

"Queen Victoria is 'not in the mood' to do anything today, so dad sent me," he said, not really sounding very surprised. Well, whoever Tori was, she seemed to be 'not in the mood' very often.

"Are you sure you could do that?" she asked as she put a warm towel on my forehead. I heard the scuffle of shoes.

"Yeah, Dad's been teaching me some handy healing spells yesterday," he said. Spells? I thought.

"Alright, I'll leave you to it," Liz said and walked to the door. I tilted my head gently to the side. Simon was sitting on the chair. At first, I was shocked by how he looked. He had Asian features, I could tell from the shape of his dark eyes and blonde hair. It didn't look like it was dyed. As a matter of fact, it looked pretty natural. And he looked cute.

"Hey, I'm Simon," he said, in a friendly tone.

"I'm Chloe," I said, surprised by the ordinary tone of my voice with no stuttering whatsoever. He nodded thoughtfully.

"What's a healing spell?" I asked, effectively making myself sound stupid, but I had to ask. He bent me a curious look.

"Oh right, Derek said you didn't know anything about our world," he said. I gave him a curious look.

"Our world?" I asked. He smiled.

"The supernatural world," he said. Okay, this definitely felt like a scene from a movie. Guy tells girl about the secret supernatural world.

"That sounds like something taken from The Twilight Zone," I said. Simon looked at me.

"You've seen an episode of the Twilight Zone?" he asked.

"Yes," I said. He smiled.

"Well, Ms. Chloe, if you don't believe me, I'm just going to have to show you," he said before he put his hands just above my head and whispered something softly and quickly. Gold sparks appeared from his hands and I gasped. They moved around a bit I felt the pain in my head slowly disappear. No, I thought, it isn't possible. But how could I explain what was going on? Simon stopped and I sat up slowly.

"Believe me now?" he asked.

"Yes," I whispered.


Hey! Tell me what you think. I know that my way of describing magic was crappy but well, I didn't know how to explain it exactly. Please tell me if it sucked. I know it's short, but please tell me what you thought.
