Chapter 16 - Chapter 4A

Welcome to my new story, sorry it took so long I didn't have the plot right.

MOTHER WITCH, AND THE WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

"Welcome to the Oddfellows hotel, my name is Clarissa and I am the owner, double rooms cost twenty pound per night, single rooms cost fifteen, we do require a deposite of fifteen pounds if, for some reason the room isn't to your liking you will get the deposit back, Netflix and BBCiplayer come as standard in every room, we do ask that if you log into your account, please log out before you check out" I finished talking and the man in front of me decided he wanted a double room to share with the lady next to him, he paid his deposite using cash, and the two walked away towards the stairs with their bags, I completed booking them in.

"I wonder if they're actually married?" Nathan asked

"That's non of our business" I reminded him.

The door opened once again I looked up to see mother witch enter, I automatically walked around the desk towards her and greeted her, I bowed a little to show respect, she bowed too with a smile, she then looked towards the desk and saw Nathan, who smiled and bowed at her, she greeted him and then addressed me

"May we talk somewhere more private?" I nodded and I turned towards my office, I remembered meeting her last time, in the past, how dirty her skin had been how less her clothing had been, how small her speech had been. We entered the office, I pointed to my plush black chair she smiled at me and walked towards it whilst I sat in the wooden visitors chair.

"Is everything okay mother witch?" I asked, she nodded towards me.

"I have waited for so long to come and see you, I wanted to come and see you, but I would not know what to say, where to begin, you have grown into a wonderful person, what you did for the werewolves...."

"Is that why you're here?" I interrupted "I know the hotel changed but I didn't know that would happen, I'm so sorry...." she interrupted me, this time, by raising a hand

"Everything changed child, I saw in your memories what would have happened had you not come to see me all those years ago, I do not blame you, I thank you" I smiled in acknowledgement  "but that is not why I am here" she seemed upset, her eyes were wet but before I could ask anything she spoke once again

"Have you ever heard my story? The one about my child?" She spoke so calmly, her voice was soothing, like a mothers voice, I guess that's why she was mother witch. I only nodded, what do I say? Yes I heard your child past away as soon as it was born? "The stories are wrong" she sighed, now I was intrigued.

*flashback*

"When I first came to Earth, I had soon learned that people here had no powers, and so I was the only one with powers, I helped these people with my powers, I befriended two people Cornelius and Jasper, we laughed together, ate together, I was once using my powers and they caught me, I had to tell them who I was, language was a barrier, as you already know, so I showed them, I showed them my home, my planet, they didn't treat me any different,  and for that I was grateful, a few weeks past and we were talking about death, I told them I would live for a very long time, I also told them, in fleeting, that if I never had children I would give my powers to their descendants, that would mean that their descendants would live for a very long time, that made them happy. They both kept it in the family Cornelius had a daughter, Jasper had a son, they were both married, as a wedding gift I gave both of them some of my powers just a fraction, but they became Earths first witches.

Fast forward a hundred years there were witches in the village now, Jasper and Cornelius were long gone as were their children but their lineage lived on, all the witches you see today are their descendants. Anyway all the descendants decided they were entitled to my powers, that my powers belonged to them, when I fell in love, Hilda and Jack tried to create a wedge between us, James, the man I fell in love with knew something was wrong, I had to tell him the truth, even though I feared he may be just like them, I had to know though, luckily he wasn't, two years after our wedlock I was pregnant but Hilda and Jack did what they could to kill the child in my womb, they did spells, potions, even earth remedies, but thankfully nothing worked. Being pregnant meant that my powers were dwindling,  I couldn't protect myself so I had to make it so that James could protect us, I knew if I shared my powers he would be just as powerful as them, I needed him to be more powerful so I made him immortal,  the worlds first vampire"

I gasped at that, so that was how the first vampire was created, even though I gasped mother witch carried on her story after a small glare towards me, I looked down apologetically.

"James had drunk my blood and had become a vampire,  he now needed blood to survive but it meant he was powerful enough to protect me and our child, we had to run though, away from the humans as well as the witches, they were all out for blood, we hid in the woods and the animals, it seemed, wanted to protect us, I told some wolves what was happening and they stood protectivly in front of us, with my final bout of power I gave the wolves the ability to turn into humans, we didn't know this at the time but every full moon they turned into wolves again."

I was confused but I didn't interrupt again

"My baby was finally born, she was healthy and absolutely beautiful but we knew we had to hide her, I was still weak, my powers were weak, but we had come up with a plan, James, with his new found power compelled a human couple that she was there daughter, she aged differently though, in twenty years she looked like she was ten, but that meant her compelled parents grew old and died, so we had to find new parents for her, after a thousand years of mortal parents we decided to compel witches to be her parents, I compelled her, my daughter, to believe these witches were her parents, it was ironic to see that those that had wanted her dead were now treating her as their daughter, this carried on for around thirteen thousand years. One day my daughter was working on a potion when she nearly died, my husband gave her his blood to heel her, I had tried to stop him but I couldn't, she wasn't going to die she was immortal, like me, but James saw his daughter in danger and forgot everything, well my daughter woke with vampire blood in her system, aaand you know the rest.

I gasped again

"It was me" I thought out loud, to which mother witch nodded.
