Crystal Swarovski and the Silver Rose (Book 2 of the Swarovski Chronicles)

Chapter 2 - Well, This will never stop

I quickly got in front of everyone and shot out a blue fireball at the witch.

"Oh, not so fast you little sorceress!" Said the witch while she deflected it back with her beam of white light, aiming it back towards me.

We all ducked down and the fireball hit the wall.

We all stood up again but then I noticed that my dad started walking and stopped in front of all of us.

"Stella? Is that you?" Replied Jonathan.

"Ah, I see that you remembered my name. Well, there's the Jonathan that I knew from high school."

"Dad? How do you know her?" I asked.

"She was-"

"I was his girlfriend, now ex-girlfriend. You see, I could have been your mother Amarande," replied Stella.

"Wait! How do you know my name?" I said with a shocked expression on my face.

"It's pretty easy actually. I found clues from your visions that you've been having lately."

"How are you doing that in my visions?" I asked.

"With my spells obviously. Haven't you been paying attention Amarande?" Asked Stella.

"I only seen you in like one vision, how am I supposed to learn about you from that one vision?"

"It's easy enough to do once you realise how to do it."

Then Stella looks behind me and said, "I see that you're still here, even though that you were meant to bring her to me but instead you have failed me instead."

I then realised who she was talking to. My brother.

Vincent pushes through everyone, stands next to me and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Oh, don't you remember anything that happened last night?" Asked Stella.

We all looked at Vincent in confusion.

"What is she talking about son?" Asked Jonathan.

"I don't know Father," Vincent replied back.

"You stupid vamp. While you were walking to Ravenwood Academy, in other words, your pathetic little academy, I managed to find you and casted a spell on you and I told you to bring Amarande to me, if she disobeyed then you have to kill her with your family knife. Do you remember all of that Vincent?" Stella said while smiling a little.

"Is this true son?" Asked Jonathan.

"Yeah, is it true dear?" Asked Mary.

"I... I... I..." stuttered Vincent.

"It was true." I stepped in to help Vincent out. "But I used my magic to knock him out, causing him to get rid of the spell."

"Yeah, thanks for that by the way Amarande. I could have seriously hurt you there," said Vincent.

"No problem." Then a thought came into my mind. "Hey, Vincent?"

"Yeah, what is it Amarande?"

"Where's the family knife?"

"Right here sweetie!" Stella said as she throws the knife right at us but I go in front of everyone and create a glowing blue shield with my magic. It penetrates the shield and shatters the family knife into pieces.

"No! That's not meant to happen!" Said Stella.

"Well, better luck next time Stella!" I said while creating a huge ball of blue fire, aimed it towards Stella and shot it out of my hands, causing her to fly across the room and out of the house. Vanessa quickly runs towards the front door and locks it.

"That should be the last of her," replied Vanessa.

"Let's hope but just to be sure, I will put up a shield up around the house so we hopefully don't have to deal with her again," said Mary as she starts to use her magic to create a huge shield around the house.

Everyone was relieved that Stella was gone, so everyone returned to the dining room to finished what they've started.

5 mins later.

"Darling, you really outdone yourself with this food!" Said Jonathan.

"Thanks Jonathan!" Said Mary.

"Yeah, this food is amazing Mrs Swarovski!" Said Vanessa.

"I agree with Vanessa!" Said Alex while eating a slice of fresh apple pie.

"Why thank you so much Alex and Vanessa!"

Then all of a sudden, Vincent starts to drop his knife that he was using and collapses to the floor.

"Oh my gosh! Are you alright Vincent?" I Asked as I quickly get out of my seat and kneaded near his body.

There was no reply back.

Then Vincent said, "The time has come!" All saying that with the same infamous laugh from last night.
