Ch. 3.1-Outings
We drove in silence the rest of the way to my we got there I started to unlock the door and walk in side. As I held the door open for Jenna I said "You can sense another witch or person and tell how powerful they are right?" "No, actually. The only person I know of that can do that was my father. Oh wow!" she responded as she walked in. The whole place was fully furnished. Expensive black couches that reclined, cream colored carpet and walls, and not to mention a big screen TV no doubt with HD. There were also pictures of me and Merrick on the wall when I was little having fun at parks, and during Christmas.
I smiled and walked all the way in and shut the door. "Merrick spoils me. He kicks me out and gives me this!" For a brief moment I wasnt angry at him any more. We walked over and sat on the comfy couch. "So you really dont know how to sense people?" I asked once we were comfortable on the couch. 'I thought that was a natural witch ability' I thought in the back of my head, but didnt really think anything more of it.
"No! Thats like 3rd degree isn't it?" She said.
"No I thought it was 1st! It is so easy!" I said surprised. 'No wonder she is still 1st degree' I thought.
"No it isn't! I was told that it was quite complicated. Not the concept, but the actual focus it takes. If you can do that, then well... that's impressive." She said reclining her part of the sofa. I was a bit confused now. Why was her training so different than mine?
"But Merrick said it was 1st... " I said.
"That cant be right. How can you do that spell but not the fire swarm spell?" She laughed a bit at her joke. I looked at her annoyed.
"What!? If its so easy, show me how!" She said playfully.
"Fine I will! Come here." I said slightly smiling. She scooted over a bit. "Closer..." I said. She then sat so our hips were touching. "Ok first, close your eyes" Jenna closed her eyes. "ok now, take a deep breath and relax." She did what I told her. "Ok now gather your power and concentrate on me." I herd her gasp. "wow" she whispered. she opened her eyes and looked at me slowly. there was a growing silence, then she said,"wow you look so... beautiful...your aura is gold and your glowing very bright. Your hair... is silver..." She said in disbelief. I raised an eye brow at my description. She must have done it wrong. That description was what you were supposed to see if the witch was a destiny shifter. A destiny shifter was said to have the power of the very gods themselves. And that if the goddess' people fell off the track of good the destiny shifter would be called to put things back on track. And that sure as hell wasn't me. Besides it was just a legend anyways.
Shocked she tried to stand up to quickly. I knew what she was thinking. That I was the destiny shifter. She must have tripped over her own feet because as she tried to stand she started to fall. I quickly stood up and grabbed her so she wouldn't fall. As soon as we made contact a jolt of energy went through me and I fell with her. I broke her fall as she landed. She was now on top of me starring down at me. She still had that shocked look on her face, but this time it was mixed with worry, and fear?
"I'm not who you think I am... it must have went wrong." I said. She visibly relaxed.
"Thank god. The destiny shifter was said to have killed my parents..." She said with a hint of sadness.
I smiled, "You actually believe that those exist?" It was kind of cute. Like a kid on Christmas thinking Santa had came and brought them presents. She smiled at me.
"Well no, but you had me scared for a moment..." She trailed off and looked down at my lips then met my eyes again. I then noticed she was still on top of me.
"Oh sorry... are you ok?" I said and tried to get up but she pushed me back down. She looked at me and bit her lip like she was contemplating something. She then leaned down and kissed me.
I herd a knock on the door we both ignored it. We were to busy with each other to care. Then I thought I herd the door open. Did I lock the door? Oh hell I didnt care, and obviously Jenna didnt either because she didnt get up off of me or stop kissing me. We just stayed there on the floor making out, until she moved her head so she could kiss my neck, and I saw someone standing over us.
I quickly, but gently pushed Jenna off of me. It was some guy about 20 with blond hair, blue eyes that reminded me of Jenna's. What the hell was this guy doing here?
By the look on Jennas face, I knew she obviously knew.
"Get up and lets go!" he said, well ok more like shouted. I winced at the loudness of his voice. Jenna looked at me. I didnt know what to say, so I turned to him and looked him in the eyes and said"Who the hell do you think you are? Get out of my fucking house!" I was mad and embarrassed, 2 things I hated being at once.
"Shut up, you dyke! Im not leaving without her." he said in that thunderous voice of his. his voice matched his looks he was a big guy. not fat but muscle. He looked like a foot ball player and he probably was at one point. "Jenna how could you? Jake is my best friend! And your cheating on him with some chick!"
"I...Im a..."Jenna said nervously. "Im sorry Mel, this is my brother Derrick. I have to go."
She got up and walked out my front door with out another word. Derrick turned to me and said, "Stay away from my fucking sister you freak." and then slammed the door. To my surprised I instantly broke in to tears.
