The Night of the Witches

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

I carry on driving. Planning to get home and confront my mum. Hoping for the full truth and about why I am like this.

I pull into the drive and step out my car. I walk up to the door. It's open. I'm not sure why but I just hope nothing has happened.

"Hello?" I call out, my voice a bit high pitched than normal. I'm scared, what can I say?

"Oh, hi Case!" Chance comes through from the kitchen. Smiling like a little kid who'd just heard he was going to Disneyland or something.

"Don't call me Case" I growl, numbing the happy atmosphere he created.

He looks at me hurt but I don't really care. I just walk past him and ask,

"Where's my mum?"

"Oh she went out to go get some things from the store," he replies, a lot less energetic now.

I turn to face him, looking him right in the eyes. I can't look away then. Even if I want to, he captivates me. I cough and the spell is broken (funny because I'm a witch and I said spell). I laugh to myself and he looks at me quizzically.

I look back at him again and ask him,

"So do you know about me?"

He looks startled by question, but for a brief moment knowing flashes across his features; until he's back and composed. Not showing any emotions or signs of knowing what I know and I know he knows.

"I don't know what you mean" he says

"Yes... Yes you do" I reply

He frowns at me.

"What do you know" he asks cautiously, as though he fears the answer.

I don't care about taking any precautions, of 'just in case' I plunge straight into the deep end. Not questioning anything,

"You know, about the whole thing where I'm a witch and I'm guessing my mums a witch and I found this grimoire" I pick up the grimoire out of my bag "from a relative from a while ago, and how it all seemed to happen after my 17th and you seemed to have shown up then too. Which is weirdly suspicious. Oh and don't forget the fact that I prevented a car crash and saved a man by wishing things could go right..." I gasp. Letting out a breath of air. Chance frowns at me and says,

"You shouldn't use your powers in public, it's too risky and dangerous"

I look at him as though he just missed the most obvious point ever.

"So I just tell you how I found most of his out in a day and how I put it together and all your interested in is rules. You didn't even check if I was ok with all this!!" I shout.

"Well, I think it's good to establish ground rules" he says "and besides, you look fine to me. I thought you were the sorta girl to get on with life no matter what. Which is good. Especially with everything that's going on."

I shake my head.

"So you do know, don't you."

"Well isn't it quite obvious now" he sighs "how did you guess, apart from the fact of my timing showing up?"

"Well, the day I first saw you at school I drive off to go to my den. But I care broke down when it was perfectly fine. So I went to this shed that was nearby and saw your name, my mums name and some I there's people's name on this wall and I kinda put two and two together," I say

He looks at me, with the scariest look ever. It makes me want to cower. But I don't, I've got to stay strong, not to look weak. I stand there expecting him to reply; but he doesn't, he just pulls his phone out of his pocket and walks out the house, completely ignoring me.

So I do the same. I turn around and go up to my room. I'm tired from my long and confusing day, I hug need sleep. Let's hope I actually get sleep.

Note: so sorry this took forever to update. I was really busy with school and homework and then I couldn't think of what to write (writers block :/) but I finally got down and wrote he chapter. I know things have been happening a bit fast. But this is when I put a few filler chapters next. Emily x
