19th Birthday: Seeing Mom at Last

Chapter 2

Thud! The portal stopped short. Sabrina fell to the floor, hitting her ankle on the side of the portal wall. Feeling tired and weak Sabrina fell on the floor unconscious. When she came to she could her voices calling.

"Sabrina! Can you hear us?" It was Aunt Zelda and Aunt Hilda.

"I can hear you", Sabrina shouted back. "Something's wrong with the portal, it stopped working."

"We know," was the answer Aunt Zelda gave. "All magic portals are connected to the Witch's Council and they usually work unless there's something going on at the Witch's Council witch will cause the portal to stop working. We're going to the Witch's Council to see if anything is going on there. We'll see you later."

And with that Aunt Zelda and Aunt Hilda scurried up the stairs toward the linen closet. Ugh! Sabrina said to herself. Why did this have to happen today? I'm supposed to meet Valerie at seven o'clock to go the movies. She sighed dreamily thinking about the part of the movie with Brad Pitt. Oh well, I can't go there anyway- I have a sprained ankle. Sabrina looked at the wavy purple walls of the portal and sighed. She really wanted to see her mother again. Her blue eyes, the way she laughed, her cherry blossom lips, -oh how she missed it all. A single tear rolled down Sabrina's cheek. She looked away. Sabrina began to see an image in the wall. It was her mother digging fossils in Peru. Sabrina stared at her mother; it was the first time in 11 years that she had seen her.

"Sabrina we're back and we have bad news for you." It was Aunt Hilda.

"Aunt Zelda," cried Sabrina, "I can see my mother."

"Yes dear I know," said Aunt Zelda. "Apparently Witchdon has declared war on the other realm."

"Witchdon?" Sabrina said feeling completely clueless. "What's that?"

"Witchdon is a separate part of the Other Realm. Ever since they became their own country they have wanted to take over some of the land the Witch's Council owns, but they never did because they hadn't got enough money, until now."

"Okay" Sabrina said, not really caring "but why can I see my mother"?

"Sabrina, you're stuck in the between the mortal world and the supernatural world; that's why you can see your mother. Everyone who was stuck in a portal was able to get out by using his or her magic. You try using your magic."

"Okay." Sabrina pointed her finger at herself and murmured some words. Zap! Her magic bounced off the portal walls and returned to her finger.

"Did it work?" Aunt Hilda asked anxiously.

"No." Suddenly Sabrina saw her mother looking straight at her.

"Sabrina?" her mother whispered, "Is it really you?

(Sorry about getting this up so late. I had battle major writers block. It'll probably end it part three)
