The Adventures of a Witch and a Vampire

Chapter One: Her Beginnings

Chapter One: Her Beginnings

It's night time in the small town. A time of peace for the busy people. The wind howling like a pack of wolves to the moon. The frogs and crickets filling the air with their music. All the nightly animals being quiet for their opposite. The raging rivers seem to become more gentle under the moon's light. The fireflies dancing among themselves. Truly it is a peaceful night. However, on this night of rest, a young girl finds it hard to slumber. For the night has captivated her thoughts. Her brown eyes glued to the other side of her window. Entranced by all that makes the night. Until a voice snapped her back into reality.

"You should be asleep my Iris," turning around she finds her mother in the doorway.

"Sorry mommy, but the imps were keeping me up again," she tells her.

With a small chuckle, her mother approaches her. Sitting next to her on the small window sill. She brings her daughter into a warm hug. "I see, what are they doing again to keep you up?" She thinks for a minute trying to remember what they were doing hours before. Looking up at her mother she answers.

"Well, they finished a while ago," she starts, "but I could hear them dancing again. I woke up to see them right outside my window. I hurried to see them, but once they saw me they left,".

"I see, but why didn't you go back to bed?" her mother asks with a raised brow. "The wind started to talk, so I decided to listen," the young girl's eyes wander back to the window. The wind picking up fallen leaves to fly around. A smile appears on the young child's face. The wind always seems to keep her company when she was left alone.

Picking her daughter up she walks to the childs bed. "Well my dear Iris, it is time for you to sleep," whining she gives a pleading look to her mother. "Sunrise is in a few hours Maria, you need to sleep. For today we start your lessons,". With the mention of her 'lesson's' the girl's eyes light up. She hurries under her covers. She closes her eyes tight in hope for sleep to knock her out.

Her mother once again chuckling at her dear daughter. She leans down to tuck her in and kiss her forehead. "Now sleep my dear, we have a big day ahead of us,". With that, her mother leaves for her own room. After the soft click of her door, the young girl starts to think. She thinks about what might happen in the coming hours. She is about to become more like her mom and grandma. For she is about to start to learn magic.
