CHAPTER 10
"What?"
"Liz, you're like Maria. Well, you're not as strong as she is, but
all the
same. You are a witch. Or I could call you a wizard. They're the same
thing."
"So why don't we have powers and why didn't we know about any of
this until now?"
"Liz, I think it would be for the best if you asked your parents about
this." said Ms. DeLuca looking at the clock. It was five in the
morning. All
this excitement had made the time whiz by.
"Mom, can I go to Liz's tonight?" asked Maria, picking up the Jetta
keys.
Her mother nodded. The girls would probably want to talk to each other
about
things. She'd been trying to keep this colossal secret from Maria for the
past 10 years.
Maria would be furious if she knew that Ms. DeLuca had cast a spell on her,
wiping her memory of all magic, when she was seven, the same year her father
had left.
Liz followed Maria out to the car and slid into the passenger seat. They
drove in silence to the alley behind the Crashdown. Liz lived above the
cafe so, not wanting to wake her parents, they climbed up the ladder that led
up to the patio balcony outside of Liz's window and crawled in.
They turned on the lamp next to Liz's bed on the nightstand.
"So..." said Maria pulling her knees up to her chest. She
didn't know
exactly what to do. Then a
thought came to her. They had never asked her
mother where the trunk was or the things in it.
"I don't know what to say to my mom and dad tomorrow." Liz said.
"I'm not mad at them, this all just seems really
surreal. I'm just waiting to wake
up and find out this was all a dream. I don't feel any
different than I did before.
Do you?"
"Well, I have been feeling a little stronger than usual. Wait, that
owl,
remember? The one we saw in my attic. It was the one that delivered the
letter to me."
"I don't really understand how that's suppose to help us right now."
said
Liz.
"Me either, I just thought I should tell you."
"Oh, ok then why don't we get some sleep and think about this some more
tomorrow."
They covered themselves with the scarlet comforter and quickly
drifted off to sleep.
Maria began to have an odd dream.
She was standing in a forest clearing. It was
beautiful.
Fireflies were floating around and about. Had she just
seen a white unicorn?
Yes, indeed she had!
A handsome man was standing on the other side of
the clearing directly across from her. He was
wearing an emerald green
robe. He smiled, but then got a sudden gleam in his
eyes. His handsome
face transformed into pale pasty gray skin, slits for
nostrils, and white plain
lips. But those eyes… Maria felt paralyzed and stared,
she felt like she had
no control over anything.
A gaping hole opened up beneath her as the creature
began to laugh. She was falling, falling.....
Maria woke up screaming. Liz darted up next to her.
"What?! What is it Maria?" She said, hugging her friend.
"Oh god, those eyes. Those eyes, Liz."
"What eyes? What about them?"
"It's like I know them, but they're p-pure evil. I've never been so
scared Liz, not even when Micheal was sick. I think whoever this person
in
my dreams is, he's coming."
Liz just stared at her frightened friend not knowing what to do or say.
TBC.... feedback pplz!! :)
