Chapter III

Edward stood by a desk in Mia's room. He listed through the pages of photo album that belonged to Mia. He was smiling as he was looking at the pictures of young Mia with her parents. She looked so happy and innocent that he could barely say that person was Mia now.

The door of her room suddenly open and Mia entered with a look on her face like she was being through torture while training her powers. Edward was already used to see her like that since the past few days since they are here she kept on coming back to her room with tired look.

"I'm beat…" Mia commented as she close the door. "Testing my limits it's feels like gym." Mia said before she went to her bed and collapsed onto it.

Edward smiled slightly before he close the album and placed it onto the desk. He walked towards her and sat down on the desk besides her while she lied on her stomach. He gently rubbed her back while watching the corner of her lips curl up.

"Mia…" Edward spoke silently.

"Mmm?"

"What happened to your parents?"

Mia eyes immediately open as soon as the smile of her face disappeared. Edward already saw how she will ignore his question and avoid it no matter what. She got up from the bed with her help of hands and onto her feet making Edward look at her as she avoided eye contact.

"I'm going to go take a shower." Mia casually said before she went to walk away, but Edward stopped her by appearing in front of her.

"Mia…don't." Edward said slowly and Mia sighs, looking around the room and crossing her arms.

"They died in a car accident and that's it." Mia answered.

"There's more." Edward added and Mia looked at him for a second before nodding slowly.

Mia took Edward's hand and led his hand to the right side of her face and into her hair. Edward's eyes wide a bit when he felt an unusual part of skin that was lightly raised a bit in thin line. Edward looked from his hand where he felt a scar towards Mia's eyes that were looking down.

"I was involved in that accident." Mia spoke and let Edward's hand fall down. "My dad and I died at the scene." Edward's eyes wide. "My mother, she was still alive and …she sacrifice her life energy to bring be back from the dead." Mia answered and squeezed her lips into a thin line and closes her eyes.

"Manuel…" Celestina spoke as she looked at her husband in the driver seat, his head against the wheel.

Celestina let out a cry as she saw her husband dead with blood all over the wheel. She covered her mouth to suppress the screams that wanted to exit her mouth. All she wanted now was to give up on her life, she could already feel the light inside her getting darker from the sadness she felt.

"Mia?" Her eyes shot open before she looked in the backseat, leaving a yelp of pain as she felt something like a knife digging into her leg, but she didn't care. "Baby?"

She looked onto the backseat to see her daughter lying on the seat with blood spreading underneath her head. Tears appearing in her eyes as she saw so many small scars from the glass on her face. Celestina couldn't feel her life energy and that was what she was afraid off.

"No, no…" Celestina murmured under her shaking breath. "You're not dead, sweetie. I'm not going to let you fall to the dead. No, no…" Celestina cried and grabbed her daughter hand. "You're too young…you have to live, Mia, you have to…" Celestina said grabbing a hold of her daughter hand tightly and veins on her entire body expressed themselves and so did on Mia's body. "I love you…Mia."

Mia opened her eyes with tears in it. She shook her head, trying to make bad memories disappear inside her head. They were too painful to remember. She was happy now and she didn't want those memories taking her back into the past.

"It was long time ago." Mia said. "I don't want to remember."

Edward didn't have to say anything, all he did was hug her; it was all she needed. Her hands wrapped around his waist while he caressed the back of her head while holding her closely to his body and not letting her go. He could hear small sobs from her and how she was holding those tears back. She's truly a strong person…

Edward lied on the side while he watched Mia sleeping in her old bed. She looked like an angel when she was in such state. Beautiful and innocent. Everything about her was perfect to him. She was a strong person that went through a lot and never gave up.

"Edward…" Edward's eyes slightly wide as he heard a feminine voice inside his head. "Edward…" It called again and made Edward sit up on the bed. "Follow my voice…"

The voice echoed inside his head and made him get up onto his feet and walked out of the bedroom. He listened to the voice speaking and leading him across the manor until it brought him to a sight with a woman standing on the balcony.

She was looking up at the celestial moon high in the air and it shine on her. Edward tried to read her thoughts, but it felt like something was blocking his access to them. His lightly stepped forwards with his bare feet, still trying to enter her mind.

"Stop trying." The woman on the balcony spoke and she turned around. "As the head of witches I have ability to use many powers, even such as temporarily mental block." Sarah said and she lightly smiled to him. "I wish to speak to you, Edward Cullen."

"About Mia?" Edward asked as he walked forwards to her by the balcony fence.

"Yes." Sarah nod before she looked up at the moon. "As the head of witches, every time when I have to make a decision, when I sleep I dream of former heads of witches and they give me advices. They are my council and they give me path." Sarah said. "Witches are prone to have dreams that guide them. Even Mia has them…"

"She didn't tell me anything." Edward said.

"That's because she doesn't want you to worry." Sarah answered. "And probably because she's uncertain of what she's dreaming about." Sarah said, a frown appearing on her face.

"But you know?" Edward asked and Sarah answered.

"That's why I've called for you in 4 in the morning." She looked at him. "Witches gave me answers in my dream." Sarah said. "If you are going to change her, then change her as soon as possible." Edward eyes wide, confused why she was saying to change her to such a monster.

"Why?" Sarah sighs.

"Mia is dreaming of a woman Adeline Dubois, her ancestor, the first Grey Witch." Edward narrowed his eyebrows at her for a moment. "All the Grey Witches came from Mia's family. The first Grey Witch was Adeline; she's the one who created the middle kind."

"Grey Witches didn't exist before her?" Sarah shook her head.

"Adeline Dubois was the brightest witch of her age. She was talented and beautiful. But there was tragedy she couldn't escape. Her own sister envied her and out of that envy Colette turned dark. She killed her child and her husband, even their parents. Adeline almost went mad and surrendered herself completely to darkness, but there was a conflict inside her heart between darkness and light…they merged. As the creator of Grey Witch, she had ultimate power immediately and with that power she killed the dark witches along with Colette. Because of this action, Light Witches believed Adeline became a Dark Witch and wanted her dead. Adeline ran away as far as she could, using her powers to hide her location and soon she gave birth to a child who she gave away to a good wealthy family and then she committed suicide."

"What is wrong that Mia is dreaming about her then?" Edward asked.

"Adeline will transform her mind in her dreams, she will give her leads and she will help her, but as part Dark Witch and as a dead spirit, she will unconsciously start influence her mind." Sarah answered. "The less she knows about her, the less Adeline will have ability to appear in her dreams."

"How long will Adeline need to transform her mind?"

"One year or so." Sarah answered. "It depends how much she knows about her and how much is she training her powers." Sarah said. "Changing her will kill her witch side." Edward stared at her form a moment before with disappointment looking into the distance.
