Prodigy
Callie POV
I rubbed my neck and winced as the light hit my eyes, stupid head pain I mumbled as I left the bathroom to do my morning ritual, but something's were off. My sister hadn't woken me up and the smells of breakfast wasn't cooking downstairs. Meaning my mother was already at the shop and I slept past eight. No wonder I was so tired; I over slept. I busted into Addison room without knocking so she would yell at me. Since it was tradition. But I wanted to rile her up since it was my job as a little sister.
"I used the rest of the shampoo and I took the last-" My sister lay half on her bed, unmoving. "Addison!?" I hurried to her side forgetting I have a headache. I shook her "AD-DI-SON!" She didn't respond, but she had a pulse. I had to get the ambulance, no I needed Mom. I flew downstairs and knocked the phone onto the floor in the urgent rush. I didn't have time to pick up the phone before our lab decided that I was trying to play a game with him and snatched it away and went out the doggy door. "Lewis!" The one day he wants to play.. I was in a panic. Lewis had to have taken the phone half way up the road by now.
I dug threw mom's cabinet that was off limits. Something has to work. The filled potion bottles weren't labeled in English. Why don't I brush up on my Latin.. I swiftly grabbed the smelly stuff I have found in a sealed box and held it out trying not to gag on the pungent odor. I lifted the cover all the way under her nose to shock her back to life. She remained limp as I pulled the box away and shut it. I opened a window to air the smell out. I was so in trouble. She will wake up all you need is a plan Callie.
And shrieking 'Addison I'm going threw your things' wasn't going to work since the stinky mushroom thing didn't even make her nose twitch. I was going to slap her like they did in the movies but that sounded to barbaric she needed to wake up not get brain damage. I dropped to the ground near her and held her to me, her head on my shoulder the swallow breaths comforting me. She was alive..
"Addison wake up please I won't ever barge into you room and steal your clothes and I will give back the ones I did steal I will.." I promised and promised, but she was still the same. I had to get mom. I somehow managed to lift her on her bed and cover her with her sapphire afghan. "I'll be back." Even though she was half dead. I sobbed and took the last part back as I ran out the door in without shoes and in my pajamas.
The store was busy and the non magic clientele were easy to point out since they looked at the crystal balls, skimmed 'how to' books, and had their heads full of a wart faced, pointy nosed, black cat having boom rider ideas of witches. I shook my head at my useless thoughts and pushed past a couple teens giggling behind a how to make him fall in love guide that my mom sold only for the needed profit and not the erroneous incantations that were cheesy and rhymed like a five year olds bedtime lullaby.
"Mom!" I pushed the woman at the counter aside and didn't notice her glare since all my energy was on my mother. "Addison she's.. comatose" A heard gasps from the customers in line.
Mom didn't hesitant "I'm sorry, but I must close the store." The customers set all their purchases down some very reluctantly and with annoyed looks on their faces.
As my mother and I raced out the door after the last person exited I yelled "Come back tomorrow!"
My mom darted upstairs with me right behind her. "Callie, go to Judy's house please." My mouth opened in shock and I tired to protest but with one look I left to go across the street. I paced back and forth and bounced in worry and fear. My friend only watched without saying a word; she was use to weird things happening around me. I stopped when I sensed a commotion coming from across the street. I overlooked my mother's need to have me out of the house.
An unnatural wind was sweeping threw my house and I got excited since it was hopefully a good sign. I tip toed upstairs and peeked into the room. Addison was floating above her bed and my mother was glowing pure white. I gawped. When she start being about to glow? When Addison was safely settled on the bed I reached out to my dimming mother. She took my hand in hers and then embraced me into a tight hug. Something was wrong.
"What- What? Is she going to wake up?" I feared for the worst.
"It depends on her Callie." We both turned to gaze at my sister. Her chest rose and fell and her calm face told me she wasn't in her body anymore.
"Where is she?"
"At peace.."
"She's not going to die is she." I had to ask.
"No, she's just rejuvenating her body.."
"Why? She never had to do this before did she."
"No. She used all her magic and it almost killed her but her witch side pulled her in to save her from that.."
"Mom?"
"Yes."
"What did she do to use all her power?"
She looked away and up to the ceiling. "Her destiny."
Her destiny.. What did that mean? Would she wake up?
What had she been forced to become to save the world..
My mother went downstairs to make me some herbal tea to calm me down. I didn't leave my sister's side and when night fell her eyes finally opened and her body fresh with new and more intense power that could endanger her life..
My sister didn't talk didn't even notice my mother and I as she strolled out the door with a resolute that scared me. She was always my sister, my best friend, and we fought because we had never better to do. Things were different and as I went to my room and cried until I passed out in exhaustion.
What had she been forced to become to save the world.. I now knew. It made me fearful of what was to come.
What did she have to become? Review and tell me what you believe to be true.
Be as creative as you can and tell me also what you think three witch powers should be for later in my story. (That are not already used in my story. Please - unless you have a spin to it)
