unknown magic
Chapter IX - The past [part1]
Written by Tadi
I woke up suddenly from a dream, except it
was just that, a dream. A good dream actually, the first one in a long time. I
sat up and looked around to find the room empty, Nathan was nowhere to be seen.
I got up and walked to the bathroom. I washed my face and looked myself over in
the mirror. The scar under my eye was still visible but it was getting better. I
dried my face with a towel and walked outside in to the morning breeze. The
smell of a fresh morning, all the beautiful flowers and trees and the light
warm wind were amazing. I saw Edith sitting on a bench in the park, waving at
me. I walked along the path with fairies flying around me, it was all so surreal.
I glanced to my right, to the house I saw the fairy go in last night.
“I
need to talk to you about something” said Edith as I sat down next to her. I
looked at her and I could feel what she felt. It all came over me so fast, like
a wave drowning me. She was tired and worried about something. I took a deep
breath and looked away from her and as soon as I did I couldn’t feel her
anymore. I have to figure out how to control that or I’m in trouble. I focused
on her, more precisely on her thoughts. I could feel her but I couldn’t hear
her. It was harder when you tried forcing it. I closed my eyes and listened to
her breathing, it was calming and soon I found myself drifting. I focused and
pushed until a kind of small light appeared in my mind. I pushed it out and
away from me. It flew through the air towards Edith and crashed against her
head. I listened to any sign of her noticing it but she just kept breathing
slowly. I focused on the ball again. I pushed it at her once again, through her
head in to her mind. A loud voice rang in my ears and I covered them, causing
me to lose focus. It was frustrating and tiring to gather all of your strength to
push yourself to do something that is otherwise not humanly possible. I tried again
but this time I was prepared, I entered her mind slowly, letting the sound
surround me and I finally heard her.
“You
want to talk about my parents?” I said and looked at her.
“Yes”
she said “remember what Rowena said?”
“About
you showing me something?”
“I
should have showed you this days ago but I felt like you weren’t ready” she
said and looked away from me.
“It’s
okay Edith, just show me now.” She looked at me and nodded. I was scared but
also very excited. What will she show me? It gave me hope that I’ll finally see
my parents, for the first time in my life. She offered me her hand and waited. I
slowly reached for it and as soon as I touched it a bright light exploded from
our hands and I was forced to close my eyes. I felt my body being pulled and
pushed, I started to feel dizzy and my head hurt but then it all suddenly
stopped and I slowly opened my eyes.
