Chapter 11 - Anna's tomb

Morgana didn't waste any time getting started.

"My son should follow you, please." She began.

"Why?." My dad asked surprised. He never expected that she would say such a thing. Why on Earth would she want her son to follow him?

"I am aware that you are investigating a witch case. My son would come in handy because he is a witch Hunter just like his father, Micheal. I also think it's best for him to leave with you so that he can follow his destiny. There is no hope for him here. I guess."

"Does Johnathan support this decision? The kid got to decide for himself, you know. He also has a say in this. Whether he wants to leave or not, is his decision, not yours "

"I know that I can't make decisions for him. He is not a kid, that is why I told him that he would be following you. He knows already. I'm doing this for his own good."

"So you just told him today and he agreed to follow me. Just like that?."

"Look he's been experiencing a lot these days. This house constantly reminds him of his dad. My husband, your friend, Micheal." Morgana's voice was shaky as she spoke these words slowly. She still loves her husband so much.

My dad accepted to bring Johnathan along because he didn't want to upset Morgana.

In front of the door, Johnathan stood holding his traveling bag. He was waiting for my dad. As my dad came out of the house, he saw Johnathan already waiting for him beside his car.

My dad entered the car and Johnathan put his luggage in the boot and entered the car. Then they both hit the road!

As my dad drove the car, he made it clear to Johnathan that not all witches are bad, so he shouldn't act violently towards Eric and any other good witches.

[Eric's house]

We started setting up everything to cast the spell. We placed the candles all over the place so that Eric would draw enough power from them.

The candles surrounded I and Eric as we sat opposite each other with a table in our middle. I stretched forth my hand and Eric slit my palm. The blood dripped onto the picture that was set down on the table.

"Clear your mind and concentrate on the name Anna." He spoke softly before starting to chant in Latin, which caused the flames on the candles to abruptly rise.

Soon my visions became blurry and I passed out.

********

I appeared in a shadowy area in front of a tomb. I could picture the location of where I was because I have previously been here, a long time ago. This place is so meaningful to me because my grandmother on my mother's side was buried here.

I was in a cemetery right in front of a tomb. On the tomb, a name was written, Anna.

I started crying when I saw my grandmother's grave on the ground because I missed her so much.

***********

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in my room, lying on my bed. I scowled as the sun blazed directly into my eyes.

"I'm glad you're still alive." Sara teased me with a smile.

"Why wouldn't I be?." I asked with a frown.

Sara realized that I wasn't pleased with the statement, she uttered so she apologized.

"I'm sorry, but don't blame me for giving thanks to God; you passed out and your dad threatened to murder Eric if you don't wake up. That poor boy was scared to death."

"What?" I nearly jumped out of bed which gave me a mild headache. I was still attempting to get out of bed when my dad entered.

'You need to rest, okay." My dad said.

"No am good, dad."

"Let me make you something to eat." Sara excused herself, knowing I needed to talk to my father.

"Dad, why are you always so overprotective of me? You really didn't need to scare Eric to death. Remember that I was the one who volunteered myself...." My dad placed his hands on my lips indicating that I needed to get some rest. He then excused himself.

A minute later, Eric came in with a cup of liquid milk. He gave me the milk and I gulped the whole thing down my throat, cause I was so thirsty.

"Don't be angry with my father," I told Eric.

"No, he is right. I should have stopped you from..."

I cut Eric short. "It's my choice to be the volunteer. You don't have to feel guilty for it."

"I do, what if you were hurt? I won't be able to live with myself."

His words melt my heart! He still cares about me and that's all that matters. Once Jessica and Tiara are out of the picture, then I can be able to be with him. In fact, I can have him all to myself if I want.

"I know where the tomb is."

"At least there is good news."

An attractive young man with black hair entered. He has this aura that I can't quite put into words to describe in writing. My dad entered after him.

"Everyone, meet Johnathan. He is Michel's son. Remember, my friend, Micheal. His father is deceased, so he is staying with us."

Johnathan shot his dagger eyes at Eric. "I can sense that you are a wizard." He said with disgust.

Tension grew in the air. Eric also gave him a bad stare but managed to keep his cool.

"Yes, I am a wizard. Do you have a problem with that?." Eric asked.

After a couple of days, I was able to get back on my feet.

Eric asked me to accompany him somewhere but he wouldn't tell me where exactly the place is located. I agreed to go with him but my father gave me a condition, which was that Johnathan had to travel with us. I did not bother arguing because it was pointless. My dad loves me so much that he is willing to protect me at all costs.

We started our journey to another country. Eric knocked on the door as we arrived at a house.  An old woman opened the door and urged us to enter. I felt uneasy because I don't know where I was. Johnathan studied the interior of the house with attentive eyes.

"My personal bodyguard." I thought. I nearly laughed, but I was able to restrain myself with a smile.

The old lady accompanied us to the dining area. The dining table was filled with different kinds of dishes. This means that Eric has already told the elderly woman about our arrival.

We all sat at the dining table. Everyone ate except me. I was unable to eat in a stranger's home. I attempted to glance at Eric so he could give me some explanation but he was busy stuffing his mouth with food. I was furious but was able to control it. The old woman noticed that I wasn't eating.

"Juliana." She called. I was so shocked and wondered how she knew my name.

An old man also joined us for dinner. He sat down and smiled at me. Kinda weird!

"These are my parents," Eric said.

"My sister Isabel is still with Jessica. I need to rescue her but I can't do it alone that is why I am here."

The doorbell rang and Eric went to answer it but he was horrified by what he saw which made him scream.
