Through insanity

Leyla

The big , old , dusty book held a lot of secrets . Secrets that she thought could help her find the answers to her questions. She already read the entire book numerous times but she could never go to sleep without starring at the same cursed page every night :

The Gordon witches

Cruel , Insane ,Terrifying.....

The book held secrets about every single magical lineage that survived from the medieval times till the present. And everytime Leyla looked at the page that was attributed to her family , she could feel tears welling in her eyes. Half of the page where the secrets of her family were written was missing , so Leyla assumed that her grandmothers were the ones that ripped it in order to protect her from the bitter truth.

After closing the book , Leyla went into the living room and watched her grandmothers for a while without saying anything . They where reading some old magic books togheter. Leyla sighed , she loved her grandmothers but she never truly knew if the lovely old ladies that raised her where as kind as they seemed to be . A tear ran down her cheek everytime the words from that book would cross her mind. She quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve and started to approach her grandmothers:

- Hey , I think I'm going to bed , tomorrow is my first day of highschool...

-Did you read that page again? , asked , Aurelia , Leyla's older granbdmother

-I think you already know the answer to that

-My dear child , I told you , when the right time comes you will know everything , but right now all you have to worry about is keeping your powers under control and making a good impression to the cute guys in your class... or girls , whatever you fancy" , said Enchantra with a loving smile on her face .

-I love you both so much , goodnight!

Leyla opened the door to her room and got in. She looked at the books and music scores that where scattered around the room and thought : " Great , I'm a mess... Tomorrow I need to wake up early but fuck it , I'm not tired . Maybe I should text mom and see what she's doing".

"Hey mom , what's up ? Tomorrow is my first day of highschool , I'm a little nervous"

"Hey sweety , everything is fine , and don't worry , you're first day of highschool is going to be great, I'm sorry , I'd like to talk to you more but I have a lot of things to do, miss you"

Leyla rolled her eyes : "Of course she can't talk , she's always busy"

She got out of bed and ripped a page from her notebook and started writing lyrics for one of her songs . Writing songs always calmed Leyla , so instead of sleeping , she spent hours writing songs.

After three hours of writing, Leyla gathered all the papers that were now full of lyrics and she put them with the rest of her creations . She walked to the mirror and watched how tired she looked. She noticed the dark circles beneath her eyes and her tangled black hair and though : "Wow , I actually am fucked up".

She looked at the watch that was hanging on the wall and when she saw that it was already 3 in the morning , she realized she needed to get some sleep even if she wasn't feeling sleepy at all. She climbed into bed and buried herself in the covers and brought her childhood teddy bear to her chest. After a tone of stupid thoughts went trough her head she finally fell asleep , hoping her sleep won't be disturbed by nightmares.
