Chapter 12= A Brighter Sun

Yesterday was a tough day, one, I told my brother how I felt for some random strange guy and that I loved that said guy, two, I 'm a descendant of some powerful witches and no one can know and I must practise my magic and to end it all the old lady is my mother's mom, so she's indirectly my grandmother.

I got off of my bed and walked to the only bathroom where I took a nice long shower in 'warm vanilla sugar body gel'. Carissa had gotten it for me and I had to say she had good taste in bath products. It smelt heavenly and made me sweeter that I normally am. I got out of the shower dripping wet and wrapped my white towel around my chest, then walked out the bathroom and back to my room where I changed into a three quarter black denim jeans that was tight on my thighs and showed my curves perfectly, a red tank top, a black and white long sleeve cardigan and my black red and white high top converse. It seems that I was going with the colour theme red black and white today for some odd reason.

I grabbed my black back pack and threw it onto my back. I still had the book form last night and I was planning on training outside. I jogged down stairs and went out the back door and straight into the woods. Although outside was lit by the sun, under the shady tall trees it made the place dark and cool. The ground was moist and muddy in some parts and the place was dead silent. I wondered around the beautiful place that was full of living energy that called to me. It was like a drug to me and I was an addict. I tried my best not to let m y magic loose. Luckily I had enough practise to be able to hold it all in.

I made it to a small clearing that had a stone slab in it and let the sun shine down on the ground, it was a beautiful sight. I walked onto the stone and sat on it, around the stone had some wild flowers; white, blue and lavender colours all jumbled and mixed together and the base of the stone. I relaxed for a few minutes and sat there just breathing slowly and clearing my mind.

I took out the book form my bag after I felt I was calm; it was all the spells that the man did but most just involved focusing and using of one's life energy. There were a lot of things this man did to train himself but most involved trying to kill stuff by taking its life energy. The first task was to kill a plant, so I went to the flower and out my hand over it. Then focused like he said to and tried to kill it.

I focused and focused yet still nothing; I couldn't believe that I tried so much to the point where I had sweat forming on my forehead. I huffed, damn it all. Why couldn't it be a spell or ritual but no it had to be focus?

I tried again this time I touched the baby blue little flower and after a few seconds it wrinkled and crumpled it a dark brown dried thing that broke off form the stem, falling to the ground where it made contact with the lush green grass and turned to dust. I was amazed and shocked that it worked.

I tried again and this time I didn't touch it but focused on the white petal led flower with my eyes. I tried sending my energy to it and taking or stealing its life. It took longer than when I was touching the last one but eventually it broke down into dust. I continued to focus on draining living things of their energy for about one hour until I was getting tired and it looked like it was about to rain; so I put away the book safely in my back pack and ran through the woods all the way home.

When I made it home, the rain had just begun to fall form the grey sky above. I jogged up the front wooden steps and opened the old door. Inside was warm and smelt of cookies. I walked into the kitchen to find Adora and Adorna with the old lady baking stuff and a tray of cookies out cooling.

"Hey sis, wanna cookie?" asked Adora all cheerfully with a big widen smile on her face.

"Sure" she handed me a cookie that was warm and I dug into it with my sharp teeth. It tasted delicious and had the perfect texture of both crunchy and moist.

"Tastes good huh?" Adorna said already knowing that I would agree with her.

"Yup" I said with some still in my mouth.

Time Lapse

It my shift at work and everything was going smoothly. I pretending to be flirting with drunk, ugly, cocky asses that call themselves men, despite all of that Chloe and I have become good friends and we are planning to go out tomorrow and have lunch at some cute little café.

I learnt that Chloe is a really strong person and very independent although she seems to be shy and timid but honestly isn't. Once you get to know her she opens up and is a lot of fun, unlike the bitches that keep glaring at me and trying to sabotage me in every way possible that they get; lucky for me that none of their pathetic attempts ruined my image to out boss.

"Thank you miss, that will be it can you get us our bill now?" asked one of my nicest customers; I was lucky to get a pair of middle aged women that were very polite.

"Most certainly mam" I replied with a sincere smile and went to get their bill. While I got their bill and gave it to them I felt a tingly feeling travel throughout my body making my feet feel like jelly and my stomach do a flip. It was weird and kind of freaky but I shrugged it off as the atmosphere being cold causing me to feel funny.

"Thank you and come again" I said to the smiling brunet ladies as they got up to leave.

"Sure thing" was their cheerful reply.

I turned around with a smile on my face that quickly turned to a frown as my eyes made contact with the chocolate brown orbs of the man I love…Jacob. I should have known when I got that weird feeling that he was here. He looked me in the eye; his face hard and in a constant scold, his eyes full of hate towards the one and only… me…as usual, but I haven't gotten accustom to it as yet, and I don't think I ever will.

Anyways I suck it up and guess what he's at my table with his gang or whatever. There was less this time but still a lot. There were 10 in total; all buff muscular dudes except for one girl or I should say bull dog that looked like she was ready to beat anyone to a pulp if they dared to near her. I walked up to them with a fake cheerful smile plastered onto my now pale face.

"Hi I'm Avita your waitress for the night, what would you like?" I asked them with a strained smile that hurt my cheeks. They smiled at me sincerely but some had pity in their eyes, I pushed that thought out of my head and wrote down what they wanted. I gave the order to the chef; who was nice guy but he rarely ever talked, he was short, had a good build, olive skin colour with a moustache that made him look like an Italian, but I doubt that he was.

After some time waiting and feeling Jacob's eyes glaring holes into the back of my head, the food was ready so I went and took it for them and like last time Jacob ordered nothing but this time I didn't bother. I still had black and blues form what happened before (resulting in me wearing a long sleeve cardigan) and I was going to try my best not to have a replay of my last encounter with them. I placed the food on the table and again I had to make more than one trip before I gave them all of their orders. I smiled at everyone but Jacob as a matter of fact I didn't even look in his direction or at the girl because she was just antisocial and too scary, even for me.

I walked off and left them to go to my other tables.

Time Lapse

I had cleaned up their table and they left, it was now 9 o'clock and they left about five minutes ago or so. My work was done for the day and I could go home. I grabbed my bag and my jacket before leaving for home. The atmosphere outside was different form inside the bar and restaurant in many ways; it was cold, lifeless, dark but yet still calm, filled with fresh air and comfort. I heels clacked on the pavement as I wrapped my arms tightly around my upper body to the point where it hurt my wounds slightly.

The moon was high in the sky, shining like the sun in a less heated way and making light for me to see the dark, silent, road that had thousands of trees on either side that was tall and looked like walls in the darkness. I continued down the road as I prayed that tomorrow there will be brighter sun.
