The New Dark One - Chapter 7
Lara made her way towards the cemetery, where her mother's vault was. It wasn't a long walk and the young brunette soon got there. It was exactly the way she remembered from when her mother first started teaching her magic. She was only four. She had expressed magic since she was born, but in the beginning it was only little things, like turning on and off the lights. Soon after she turned four Lara had and argument with another kid at school which resulted in him being thrown across the classroom. After the incident Regina decided it was time to teach her daughter how to control her magic, so she wouldn't hurt anyone else. They used to practice every evening after the Mayor got back from work.
Lara was counting on finding everything she needed easily, for her mother was one of the most organized people who'd ever met. Her system probably hadn't chanced much over the years and everything should be in the same place.
The girl was about to open the door, but something stopped her. It was like a magic field. Only it didn't make sense. The Queen used to seal the vault with blood magic when she wasn't around, but it shouldn't be a problem for Lara, her daughter and only living blood relative. Something didn't make sense.
She tried again. This time willing the door to open in her mind, like she was taught to. Same result. There was no opening the heavy stone door.
Even tough she knew it wouldn't work (and even if it did work it would certainly reveal her attempt of braking an entrance) Lara couldn't help but project her frustration into a fire ball, after all, she had inherited her mother's short temper. She projected her arm towards the building ahead of her, but nothing happened. No fire ball. No even a flame. Something was wrong with her magic.
Lara tried again. Nothing. The young brunette was beginning to breathe fast. Anxiety taking over her. She had had magic ever since she was born. Without it, she felt literally powerless. Lara tried poofing back to Tinkerbell's. When she opened her eyes she was still ate the same stop facing the Mills family crypt. Something was very wrong, not only her dark magic was gone, but her light magic as well. Who could have taken it? And how did they know she was there?!
The best thing to do right now was to try to calm down. She slowly walked back to Tinkerbell's apartment. It took way longer than it usually would, but she needed the time to think. On her way there, she stopped at Granny's to get some hot chocolate. The sugar helped her regain perspective. Upon arriving at the apartment, Lara tried a bunch of simple spells for a couple os hours. Her failure only helped prove what she already knew: her magic was gone. All of it.
She looked at the clock. 8pm. Her mother was probably already getting suspicious about Tinkerbell hanging out with her for such a long time. She should probably have let the fairy know when she left the cemetery, but she was too caught up in her own problems. She sent a text: Back at ur place. Something went wrong. Need to talk - LM.
Lara didn't know what to do. This wasn't expected at all. Her whole plan was going south. She hoped the fairy had an idea of what was going on, for she didn't know who else to turn to.
