Kara's pov.
"Confusion" He's talking gibberish.
He sighs. "I can't do this alone, telling you all of this stuff. Its exhausting"
"Well I'm not the weird ghost boy who creeps around with weird made up stories"
"What am I a witch?"
He laughed "Well sort of"
"What do you mean 'sort of' ?" I'm so confused!
"You know what, let's just go now" He got up and started walking. He walked through the walls. Probably just to taunt me.
"Go where?" I say but he doesn't hear me. Or at least doesn't show that he did.
I get up anyway, and I caught up with him.
I took the elevator while he just floated and passed through the ceilings.
A lot of things were going through my head. I'm a witch with an amulet that my grandma gave me which allows me to see ghosts.
She always did so that I would Figure it out whatever 'it' is.
I don't know why but I assumed we were going to the library so I went there. But when I got there, Gavin dropped from the ceiling and groaned "Noo last floor" he said
"Wait why?" Its reasonable to assume we're going there because that's where I found the 'prohexis' but nothing about all of this is reasonable so.
He rolled his eyes and then he literally entered me. Like possessed me.
I did not enter you, don't make this weird.
This is already weird. How am I even talking to you in my head.
Because I 'entered' you.
You have some serious explaining to do.
"Ever heard of possession" he said with a smirk. Wait how did he even say that? He possessed me not to long ago! And how did I even get here?
"When did i walk here?"
"You didn't. I did. Felt weird to use human legs again" He replied
"So you possessed me, walked me here with my legs and conversed with me in my head ?" (A.G <3)
"Pretty much. Now down to business. This was where you found the prohexis right?"
"Yeah. It was on that table over there" I pointed to the old table still filled with junk.
"Oh..that doesn't look clean" He said then he waved his hand twice and everywhere in the room was spotless and brand new. I, myself felt brand new.
"How did you.. Never mind your a freaking ghost and you possessed me..nothing will ever surprise me again"
"Now I wanna be a ghost" I mutter as I sit down on the old but clean couch.
He chuckled humourlessly "No you don't" I didn't say anything else because it must be a painful topic.
"Oh yeah and we came here for something didn't we? Well why?"
"Because there are books here that can answer all your questions at once" He said as he started going through The big books on the now clean table.
"Ah ha! Dummy's guide to wishing stones, Witches are your friends and a personal favourite, The after life" He said reading titles off of the books.
"What are wishing Stones?"
"Well..your amulet for one is a wishing stone. Wishing stones are gems that were found a bunch of centuries ago in a land called Centro. Where I come from. Centro, presently is a land with all sorts of witches. But in the olden days, there were only three witches. Ezra the good witch, Lydon the bad witch and Amille, the one in between. One day, a commoner who's name was lost to history, discovered the gems and went to meet Ezra, the good witch as they were the wise ones back then. Ezra saw the gems and said she had been looking for them cause she needed them for some potion. And so she said she would grant the commoner one wish. And the commoner wished for wings. She then spoke words to the gem and it became a gem for wings. The commoner got his wish and all was well. When people were lucky enough to spot gems, they took them to the witches and they granted them wishes. And that was how the name 'wishing stone' was coined. A time came, when another commoner, found a gem stone. It wasn't a big deal, it became a norm. But he was greedy. He collected twelve gems and gave them all to a witch. Only it wasn't Ezra, it was Lydon. He gave Ezra but she refused, saying he was too greedy. But Lydon didn't refuse. She gave him 12 wishes for each gem and fused them into one prism. The thing about gem stones is that once a wish has been spoken on them, it remains that way for life. And so the commoner misused his opportunity. He wreaked havoc and of course, Lydon was on his side. Amille had to ban people from doing that and banished both Lydon and the greedy commoner. Amille is the highest of all of the witches. So out of anger, Amille broke the prism and scattered them all over the world. Saying it was too dangerous and powerful for a mere mortal to handle. Till date the gems are yet to be found" He read from the book 'Dummy's guide to wishing stones'
"Wow. That was some story" I said.
"Yea"
"So where do I come in all of this?" I ask curiously.
"Well..as you know I summoned you here. Its because I need your help"
"That still doesn't explain anything"
"Well you see Centro, the land of witches is in trouble. A little boy found one of the gems. He was a little boy, he didn't know anything about gems or the witches. And he didn't know Lydon was banished. So he gave Lydon the gem to give him a wish, one day that he saw her by the stream. She saw an opportunity for revenge and she took it. She plans to take over Centro and the entire universe. And her plan is to gather every gem from every place, to form the prism and wreak havoc once again. To make Amille pay for banishing her"
"Then why do I have to help? Why can't the little boy do it himself?"
"Because I'm the little boy Kara. I gave the gem to Lydon. The whole world is at stake and its all my fault"
===
I still couldn't believe it. I'm a witch, I can see ghosts and I have a wishing stone?
Its all confusing.
After Gavin's shocking revelation and long story, I had to get something to eat or I could have passed out.
When I got downstairs for breakfast, everyone was already there. I left Gavin in the attic so I don't know what he's up to now.
"Morning Kara" Millie greeted
"Good morning everyone" I say as I take a seat beside Mona.
"Where were you?" She asked
And before I could tell her the whole truth, Gavin's face flashed in my head saying "you can't tell anyone"
"Library" I say smoothly. I feel bad lying to her but its not on my terms.
"Nerd" She teased and then Kristie came with breakfast.
She served everyone a plate of Bacon and eggs. Everyone except Damien. I looked at my tacky old watch and the time read 2:30. Yeah I need to get a new one.
"Kara, Mona and I were going to do some school supply shopping and I was Wondering if you wanted to come with?" Millie asks politely.
Yes that would be nice, to take my kind off everything that has happened.
"That would be nice" I say and smile at her. I finish my breakfast and gulp down the rest of my orange juice and stood up.
I went back to my room, Gavin wasn't there and so I sat on my bed and grabbed my nook. While I grabbed my nook, my eyes flicked to my dresser which had a bag on it.
Hmm..what is that. I stand up and grab it. I open it and something was inside it...a rectangular box...what is it?
A phone? A phone! Oh my Gosh! Millie got this for me. I know because of the smile face note the was on it, she write '-M' . I bet she ment Mom but I'll let it slide. To early to start calling her that. It'll just be too weird.
Before opening it, I rush to the room, Mona said was Millie's and knocked.
Millie opened it and my eyes almost fell out of their sockets. Their room is...
**Image**
"Hi Kara..what's up?" She said casually.
"Thank you for the phone" I said and she smiled. She looked like she wanted to hug me but I ignored it.
"Oh honey its nothing" She said and smiled back.
"Oh and when are we going?" I ask
"Whenever your ready. Text me." She said, informing me that she already set everything up.
"Thank you again" I said then went to Mona's room.
I knock "Kristie is that you?"
"Kara" I said then she opened it "OMG I'm sorry, its because you knocked. Only Kristie knocks. Why did you anyway? Just come inside" she said
"Ooh what's that" she said as I plopped on her bed.
"Millie got me a phone" I said with a smile.
"Cool. You know how to set it up?"
"Actually no. That's why I came here" I said
"Okay, I can help"
===
20 minutes later and my new phone is set up and ready for usage.
"So what kind of songs do you like?" Mona asked me.
"I actually don't know. I don't really know much songs, I only know a few Billie eilish" Mona scrunched up her face.
"You poor thing. Here I'll send some to you" She grabbed her phone and my phone then started sending songs.
I saw a lot of Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber. Whoever those guys are. We hardly listened to music back at the agency.
She recommended a few games and showed me how to download stuff. She didn't mock me, like I expected her to, she just teased a little.
So I downloaded Temple run, fruit ninja and Candy crush. Mona said their all addictive and that I would love them. I'd like to take her word for it.
I gave her my number and she texted me for me to save hers. It was a pic of Damien drooling while sleeping and holding a picture frame.
It was hilarious! We both laughed for a while.
Then I texted Millie.
Millie
Be ready in a bit. Just want to Change.
...
OK sweetie.
===
When I get to my room, I start to decide what to wear.
I was saving it for Christmas but since I'm getting more, who cares. I leave my hair down for the first time and it felt weird. I grabbed my black slip ons
Millie
Ready.
