GET OUT OF MY HOUSE AND DON’T COME BACK, OR I’LL INFO THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO BURN ALL OF YOU” I gasped in disbelief as I looked at him.
He was able to speak like that to me and his children without caring that we had spent 10 years together.
“Come, Lola” Reluctant to move because of the shock, my mother hurriedly held my twin babies who were still asleep, as if nothing bad had happened to her mother “Come on, let’s leave this house” she whispered again while starting to push me gently to start moving.
I looked at my husband who was looking at us with a hateful gaze that I had never seen before.
‘I love you, Lola and I promise I won’t leave you’.
I remembered his words when we got married and the warm kiss he gave me afterwards.
10 years is not a short time, I gave everything for that man, but only because 3 things I dreamed of came true, his friends were afraid that I was a witch, he forgot his promise and listened to his friend’s nonsense about witches.
I slowly walked while carrying the bag containing my clothes and my children before turning to look at him one last time when I reached the main door, hoping that he would hold me back or say that he was sorry, but his gaze was still the same.
“You’ll never be happy” I said absentmindedly “Just remember.. you’ll spend your time remembering us and wishing you hadn’t kicked us out”
BLAM…!!!
With a face wet with tears and a broken heart, I walked towards the carriage that my mother brought out of the house I built with the man I loved who had destroyed my entire world.
******
“What do you mean I do have witch’s blood?” I cried out in anger when I heard my mother’s words about her true origins.
She sighed and looked down with tears falling “When you were 11, 13 and 16 years old I saw no signs that you had powers, I thought you were just like me who didn’t have those magic powers and then you got married, I thought you would live a human life like me too” She sobbed as she explained and I just sat quietly listening to her story.
I never thought that I wasn’t an ordinary human.
How could this be?
“Then. I was visited by my great-grandmother in a dream, and remember, a witch’s dream is no ordinary dream, she told me about you and how your powers were starting to rise so you were in danger”
“I still can’t believe it” I muttered softly, not knowing how to react to all this, first being kicked out by my husband and called a witch, then getting the info that I really was a witch.
She nodded in understanding and patted my shoulder affectionately before hugging me “I’ll take you to a place where we can be safe” she whispered before one of the twins cried and I was forced to pick it up to give it some milk.
“Trazmoz, home of the witches”
“Since then I have lived in Trazmoz and become the protector of this small town” The old woman said, explaining about her past.
No one dared to interrupt her as she told her story.
“But how have you lived this long? Has it been hundreds of years?” I asked quietly and made her smile before walking towards the bookshelf and waving and there was a door opened from the bookshelf which made everyone gape in surprise to see it.
We slowly got up and followed him into the cave below until we reached a light.
I gasped in shock at the light before turning towards the old woman “This…” my voice was choked as I stared at the figure in front of me.
