Jenny stood frozen in shock, her mind reeling from the weight of the situation. The only person beside her was James, who watched her with concern and unwavering support. Uncertain of where to begin, she clutched the book tightly and commenced her training. Regardless of the weather or time, she delved into mastering her newfound powers.
The initial stages proved challenging, as Jenny struggled to even move a single leaf using her abilities. Yet, she refused to give up. Edward's sacrifice remained etched deeply within her heart and mind, fueling her determination. She practiced tirelessly, dedicating herself to honing her skills.
Through relentless effort, she gradually absorbed the lessons from the book, diligently practicing day after day. Finally, the moment arrived when she completed all the lessons. A sense of fulfillment washed over her, coupled with the daunting realization that she had to prove herself. The fight day loomed ahead, the day she had to demonstrate her worthiness to save James.
Jenny made a solemn promise to herself that she would bring him back, no matter what it took. She prepared herself for the impending battle, steeling her resolve. Suddenly, a circle materialized before her, and two witches emerged, urging her to follow them. Obliging, Jenny stepped into the circle, embarking on a journey with them.
They arrived at a circular field where three more witches awaited. In the center stood a towering thorn. After a brief pause, a witch adorned with a crown and wielding a wand appeared. She seated herself comfortably on the thorn and directed her attention to Jenny.
"Why did you learn magic?" the crowned witch inquired, her voice carrying an air of authority.
Jenny's response was resolute. "For my love, James, a vampire."
A silence fell upon the field, as the weight of her answer hung in the air. The crowned witch declared the commencement of the battle, setting the stage for Jenny to prove her worth.
The first opponent proved relatively easy to defeat, but the second proved to be a formidable adversary. Jenny's strength waned, and she found herself teetering on the edge of defeat, almost losing consciousness. In that moment, she heard James's voice urging her to rise and fight. Remembering Edward's words about her being the daughter of the witch queen, Jenny tapped into a wellspring of extraordinary power that lay dormant within her. With a surge of energy, she launched a powerful attack, obliterating her opponent and causing the entire field to tremble.
The crowned witch stood in awe, recognizing the magnitude of the power Jenny possessed. Only members of the royal family had the ability to unleash such formidable energy. She released James from his captivity and instructed one of her assistants to gather information about the young witch.
Exhausted from exerting an immense amount of energy, Jenny succumbed to unconsciousness. James tenderly carried her back to the house in the woods, cradling her in his arms. As Jenny gradually regained consciousness, she found herself waking up to the sight of James, their eyes meeting after a long separation. Their love had withstood countless sacrifices, growing stronger with each trial. James held her tightly, enveloping her in his arms.
Suddenly, a stone crashed through the window, shattering the glass. Attached to it was a letter that ominously proclaimed, "It's the beginning. It's not yet over." These words struck terror into their hearts. Having already made substantial sacrifices, they were unwilling to lose each other.
Jenny understood that someone sought to seize her extraordinary powers, knowing that the war had just begun. She realized that the key to ending it lay in uncovering her own past, unearthing the secrets that bound her. Determined and resolute, Jenny embarked on a quest to find the truth, with James steadfastly by her side.
