Chapter Two
They drove up to the same house she saw six years ago. They drove into the drive way and her parents got out of the car. She didn't move an inch and was looking at the house. Her father came to her side of the car and opened the car door. She got out of the car and that same feeling that she felt before came rushing towards her.
Her father put his arm around her and they walked towards the door. "Why are you so afraid of coming here?" he didn't say anything. "Come on she's your Grandma…you can at least give her a hug"
"That I think I can do…at least" Lameka said with her arms crossed.
He smiled and they went up to the door. Before her mom could even touch the door it opened to reveal an old women in a blue flower dress.
"Sharon! Damien!" She said giving them hugs. "My goodness who is this?"
"It's Lameka mom," He said smiling.
"Lameka? My god you've grown. Come here and give ya Grandma a hug," She said stretching her arms out. She was hesitating and looking at her arms. Her father pushed her forward and she gave her Grandmother a hugs. "Well let's not wait for the grass to grow, come in side"
They all stepped in side and once again that same feeling rushed right through her. She followed her dad into the living room and sat beside him. Her mom went to bathroom.
"So Kaya how has your summer been so far?" Her Grandmother asked her.
"Um it's been great, really great," She said in a dull voice.
"That's wonderful dear…are you guys hungry?"
"Well I am a lil bit," Her dad said.
"You Kaya?"
"Um no thanks" She said smiling.
"I can't see how you would be hungry. She stuffed her self with about twelve packs of peanuts and about six things of pop" He pinching her arm.
"Ouch!" She said rubbing it. "What do you expect a girl ta do when she's hungry? Sit there and starve ta death?"
He rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Well since you're not hungry Kaya would you mind taking this to some of my friends down the street?" Her Grandma asked.
"Um sure" She said getting up.
Her Grandmother went into the kitchen and took a plate out of the freezer. She went over to Lameka and gave it to her. "Now ask for Mrs. Dursley and tell her to put it in the freezer"
"Okay" She said slowly. "And where is the house?"
"Four houses down" She said smiling.
She sighed and opened the door. She walked out and the hot summer heat hit her straight in the face. "Oh my god" She said walking down the street.
It took her only five minutes to her there. She knocked on the door and soon after a big man who she guessed was Mr. Dursley answered it.
"What do you want?" He said in a nasty tone.
"Dude you aint got talk to me like that," She said with a frown on her face.
"What do you-" She cuts him off before he could finish.
"I need to speak to Mrs. Dursley"
He grunted and walked in side to get his wife. As she was standing there, there was this boy sitting on the steps with glasses and his hand over his forehead.
She walked up to him and softly asked, "Are you alright?"
He looked up at her and he had tears in his eyes. "Um yeah" He said wiping his tears away.
"Ouch that must of hurt"
"What must of hurt?"
"That scar on your head"
He touched it and said, "Yea it did"
"Well um I'm Lameka, you can call me Kaya though" She said sticking her hand out.
"Hi I'm Harry, Harry Potter," He said shaking her hand.
"Harry go up stairs" Mrs. Dursley said coming towards the door.
"Okay" He said going up the stair.
"Hey Harry!" She yelled. He turned around and looked at her. "Nothings that terrible that you have to cry, but if you do need to cry I'm here" She said smiling.
He smiled backand said, "Thanks"
"Don't talk to that ridiculous boy," Mrs. Dursley said.
"Um yeah, my Grandma told me to give this to you" She said handing it to her.
'Oh thank you" She said taking it.
"And she said keep it in the freezer"
"Okay, tell your Grandmother I said thank you"
"Ok" She said turning around and leaving.
"She seems like a nice girl," She said closing the door.
She starts to walk back to her Grams house and sees Harry in the window. He notices her and smiles. She waved her hand in front of his window and a picture of flower appeared. His eyes open wide and watches her leave.
When she got back to the house her mom was out sidepullingup weeds. She went up to her and helped her. "Thanks hun" She said smiling.
"No prob mom" She said having a rough time getting one of the weeds out. "Mom?"
"Yes" She said slowly.
"Have you ever thought that maybe we're…different?" She said stabbing at the ground.
"Different? What do you mean by different?" She said looking at her.
"I mean have you ever felt that there's some secrets about our family that we don't know about?"
She sighed. "Well…sometimes yea. Why do you ask?"
"Mom what if there was something about me you didn't know about and you really didn't…want to know about"
"Sweety what are you saying?"
She was silent for a moment. "Nothing…jus something I wanted to say" She said getting up and going back into the house.
She went up stairs and went her bedroom and cut her radio on. About four hours passed and she was on her bed reading a magazine. Her stomach started to growl and she held it. "I should have eatin before" She said getting up and going towards the stairs.
She was going down the stairs when she saw her dad, her mom and Grandmother were talking. She didn't want to interrupt themso she sat on the steps.
"What's this about?" Her Grandma said sitting in a chair. She was looking at her son walking back and forth around the room.
"Mom did you do something to Lameka?" He asked.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean did you give her the power to do magic with out having to learn it?"
"I have no clue of what you're talking about"
"Mom don't play games with me right now" He said raising his voice a little.
She sighed. "Yes I did"
"Mom what the fuck is wrong with you!" He said throwing his hands up in the air and ballingthem into fits.
"Don't talk to me like that," She said getting mad.
Lameka looked at them confused. "Magic?"
"I'm sorry but why did you do that?" He said in a calm voice.
"The girls a witch Damien. And she should have know that two years ago" She said getting up out of the chair.
"A witch?" Lameka whispered.
"Mom you know why we didn't want her know," He said looking at Sharon sitting on the couch saying nothing.
"Yea I know why. But you should not have kept that from her. She's missed two years of magic training Damien. Two years" She said looking at him.
"I know that. I just don't want what happened to Sharon to happen to her," He said sitting down.
"Look baby, I know you're scared" She said going over to him and putting her arms around him. "And you're always going to be scared. I wish I had the power to rewind the time and make what happened to you and Sharon disappear. But I can't do that. I know the pain will always be there, but you can't be afraid all the time. You have a child to raise and you both have done a very good job so far. Let her know the part of her self that she doesn't know about yet" She said stroking his cheek.
He looked at her and smiled. "Thanks mom"
"You're welcome baby"
Lameka was looking forwards with tears rolling down her eyes. "I can't believe this," She whispered putting her head in her hands.
"But how am I going to tell her? What like, hey Lameka you're a witch and you should have been in school two years ago. I didn't tell you cause I did want to hurt you," He said sarcastically.
'I can only tell you it wont be easy" She said smiling.
He sighed then ran his fingers through his hair.
"Um Damien" Sharon said pointing at someone standing not to far away from them.
He looked at his wife then at what she was pointing at. Lameka was standing there looking at him with tears in her eyes. He quickly stood up.
"Kaya" He said not knowing what to do. "Um…how long have you been standing there?"
"I hate you," She said in a whisper.
"What?" He said on the verge of crying.
"I HATE YOU!" She yelled and ran up the stairs nearly falling.
"Lameka wait!" He said running after her.
"No Damien" Sharon said stopping him.
He was looking up the steps with a frown on his face. "Let her be for now" She said walking over to him and putting her hand on his shoulder.
He was still staring up the stairs and then he said, "She's never said she hated me before" He said whispering. "Not even when she was mad at me all those other times"
"This is different," She whispered.
