Witch's Runes
I hate airplanes. They're stuffy, they're not on the ground, and if a baby starts to cry you can't get away from it. And they made me put my cat Oden in a cage! A CAGE!
I sighed and leaned back in my chair. I reached into Oden's cage and scratched his head.
I thought about they day I told my supposedly best friend Lacey that I was a Witch. I was sitting at the base of one of the oldest trees in Phoenix listening to the stories it told when Lacey sat next to me. She asked me what I was doing and I explained a bit about wicca and that how I'm a Witch. She just got up without saying a word and walked away, I knew that from this moment on that everything was going to be different. The next day everyone stayed away from me, even the teachers. When I asked one of my friends what was wrong she screamed ' Get away from me Witch!' I was devastated that Lacey told everyone. At first was the calling of the names, then was the verbal threats and it quickly became physical threats. When my mom saw the bruises she pulled me out of public school to home school me, but that didn't stop them. They broke into my house and trashed everything in my room. My mom was frightened and sent me to live with my dad Charlie Swan. He already know what I am and thankfully didn't judge me for it. And now here I am in a plane that was just landing.
I got off the plane and looked for Charlie. I saw him standing near the entrance. I ran up to him and gave him a huge hug that surprised him.
" Bella?" He said in disbelief. I nodded and he hugged the life out of me.
" My Bells, look at you! You've grown so much!" He said trying to hep me with my bags. He reached for one bag and it hissed back at him. His hand retreated in shock and look at the bag.
" What do you have in there?" He asked me. I knew I forgot something!
" Dad this is Oden." I said taking Oden out of his cage. Charlie looked at me surprised.
" You didn't tell me you had a cat." He said looking at him.
" Must have slipped my mind." I said and we carried my bags to his police cruiser.
It was peacefully quiet when we arrived at the house. I brought my stuff up to my room and went downstairs to get something to snack on. I went to the fridge and opened the door. Everything was either past their expiration date or fish and I was a vegetarian.
" Hey Dad! I'm going to the store!" I called as I walked out of the house not waiting for his answer.
I walked to the store since I think that cars are a waste of precious resources. They're killing the earth and that's a big no no for Witches. We respect the earth.
A few minutes later I was in the produce section of Thriftway. I grabbed some apples, bananas, carrots, and grapes and headed to the check out line. At the cashier was a boy with blond spiked hair and blue eyes. Upon seeing me his eyes scanned my body, pig. I put my stuff on the counter.
" Hey. " He said in a voice that was probably meant to be seductive but it sounded like he had something stuck in his throat.
" Hi." I said quickly not wanting to talk to him. He was oblivious to my facial expression, which was clearly stating that I was not interested, because he kept on taking to me.
" My names Mike. I haven't seen you around here so you must be Isabella Swan, chief Swan's kid right?" Wow, way to state the obvious.
" Yeah, can you just ring up my stuff so I can go home." I sighed. I know that wasn't the nicest thing to say but what's the point in being nice to someone who will treat me like a disease once they find out what I am.
" Sure! That will be 15.37." Man, there is no way to kill his mood. I handed him the money and all but ran from the store back to my house. If this is what it was like to meet someone here than school is going to be just awful.
