I did my very best to hold in the pain as this demon held pressure to my gut. I wanted to stay strong but I didn't know what to do anymore as I am slowly dying. I wish it had freaking punctured something different. I don't want to feel this pain anymore. Above me I also saw the little girl. She was crying like crazy. I felt like I was watching my own child. It hurts me more to see her cry like that than this puncture wounds in my body.
I noticed something blinding above me and I couldn't keep my eyes open as it ached a bit. At least I can avoid that pain. But I just didn't feel anything anymore. My body felt so light. Darkness had enveloped my vision. I couldn't feel any pain. I felt like I was floating and I just wanted to stay here. I tried opening my eyes but I still saw black. Nothing. Is this how it is? If I die? Would I be floating in the void of darkness until I get reincarnated? Or just walk in the earth until I don't know what will happen. I felt something in my gut and a flash of light gets in my peripheral.
I felt like something was swallowing me up in this darkness. I tried raising my hands but I couldn't move them at all. I saw the flash of light again but this time it wasn't as strong as before. This time it looked like a star. A star. I outstretched my arm finally and I saw something black ooze down my arm. I want to see Luke again. But what is this place. 'Now you will see my life...'
It was the girls voice as the only light in this darkness had started to brighten up and I didn't know what was happening now. I covered my eyes as I felt completely blinded now. I felt a hand and I gasped in shock. It was a small hand that I saw.
It was the young girl and she had helped me stand up. We were in a town. I have never seen this town. It looks a bit more old style. Is this the past? I looked at the little girl as she was just staring forward. I followed her gaze and saw her. She looked really happy. Playful even. I looked to my side as she looked very sad and lost in thought.
"Kassandra... Lunch is ready" I hear a female speak
I looked forward and I noticed it. The woman looks identical to me. She had a big smile on her face. The duplicate of myself carried the happier version of the little girl and now I now her name. Kassandra. But who is my duplicate's name. I looked at the small girl by me as she held my hand tighter. She is shaking a little bit. I bend down and carried her. She looks at me in shock and I could see her eyes slowly brighten up a little bit. It made something in my heart brighten up also. Just seeing her like this. I felt like an actual mother.
But I looked around and slowly noticed the age. The era. How long ago did she die? How did she die? Luke did tell me she died of a common human illness. Witch's still have a mortal body so they can get sick like any other human. But what illness did she have there are a lot of illnesses in this life. She does look pretty young. But how old is she anyways? She looks around nine or ten. Maybe I am mistaken. But she looks really sad. The look of longing in her eyes. So I had a gentle smile
"Are you showing me this to show me what happened?" I asked her as I smiled warmly to her
"The truth of how I died... The truth of why I wrote the Fantasy Spell..." she answers as her voice echoes a little bit
"Your mom... She looks a lot like me..." I tell her as I looked back at the small house
She smiled gently and says "In human terms I'd say she is your ancestor but in our worlds terms you reincarnated as her appearance... Except you have more bad luck than what my mother had"
"Bad luck?" I asked her curiously
"Back in the past before the whole Salem witch hunt... Mommy and I lived in harmony in this small town... I get sick easily as my body couldn't hold my own powers correctly so mommy would protect me whenever I got weak... Did her best to hide me away from anyone who wanted to be by my side..." she explained a little
I looked at her. Powers are very dangerous. But seeing as she got sick easily from her own magic it must be worried some for a mother. Will my children be alright? If they become like Luke? Would they be a hybrid? Human and Werewolf. Would they get bullied by other werewolves? If the werewolf world be revealed will my children be shunned out? I looked around and saw this city very silent and a ghost town. I felt her body a little bit heavy in my arms and I looked back at her as she just looks at the floor. I looked bellow me and I saw the black start to extend by my feet and I felt completely confused. Am I getting kicked out of this location.
I held on to her as I didn't wish to let her go. I am finally able to have a hold on her and I felt her hand on my cheek and I just looked at her. Eyes wide open as I didn't expect her to look at me with sympathetic eyes.
"It will take it's time before it takes you out of my memories..." she tells me
I am in her memories and I asked "How did you die little one?"
"Actually this is my last memory with my mom..." she answered as she pointed forward
I looked forward as I asked her again "How long ago was this?"
"Mommy made a potion to extend her life so she could help me... She tried extending my own... But before I could even drink the potion... The villagers came..." Kassandra tells me sadly
From the nothing people appeared with weird outfits. So old style. They were chanting witch. From day it turned night. I looked at the sky as it was getting covered by the smoke emitting from the torches the town folk had. They kept screaming more and more. But I noticed the night sky light up suddenly and all the stars hidden. What? I looked forward and the girl held on to me as she started crying. My eyes wide open as the house is on fire. These people set the house on fire. A mother and child inside the house.
Their screams echoing around me. So ghostly and on top of the screaming. Their chanting started to die down as they noticed no change. A man wearing a priest outfit thanking the people of killing the witches and that their curse will be lifted soon. Behind the house her mother gets pushed out literally. Something pushes her out of the house and a book in her hands. Her mother stares at the book with wide eyes. She looks back to the flames as the yelling of the child is now gone. The smoke starts to swirls upwards. The flames going out in the process.
The cackling sound of something demonic can be heard from the flames. Kassandra holds me tighter. My heart dances with the wind basically as it was getting strong. I held on to Kassandra as something was slowly emerging from the smoke. The people started to slowly panic as a demon was coming from the smoke.
"I have been summoned... Master..." the demon spoke
The priest stays there and looks really happy "I knew it..."
I felt my body slowly lower a little bit and I just looked at Kassandra "I am here to obey your orders... As long as you provide the souls"
The people started screaming in fear as they tried running away but black spikes came from the ground and I recognized the black spikes. I looked to where I am standing and the black is still there. Is this the same demon? I looked up again and I saw my duplicate stare at the demon also. Both demon and her staring at each other. Frozen on the spot. What? The demon started to get angry and stared at the priest who is now confused.
"I have provided the soul of a child to summon you here! I am your master now! I want you to collect all the souls of the people here and make me immortal! Rich and Immortal!" the priest yelled out
You can see white ghostly orbs coming out of the corpses of the people who got pierced with those black spikes but the demon responded with a life "Pathetic worm..."
"You cannot disobey me!" the priest yells out to the demon
"A priest summoning me with the offering of a sick child... You humans are more dirty than demons ourselves..." the Demon chuckled out
I felt surprised as I could see the sadness in the demons eyes "Don't do it!"
I hear the Kassandra's mom scream out in utter panic. The demon shocked but he obeys the commands. The souls of the people started merging with the priest and both the woman and the demon stared at each other. A black wall rises up by her home. Blocking the priests view as he was being converted into something different. Is the demon protecting the woman? I felt completely confused. A black bubble appears around her as the demon grabs the man as his eyes were white. Flying above the sky taking the smoke with it. Only two people survived. The woman who looks identical to me and a little boy. He was at the far corner. Hiding. He had a type of vest over it's head. A few barrels around him. So there was another witch around the town.
"I was able to complete the Fantasy Spell once I had died..." Kassandra finally spoke
Her voice a bit croaked from crying a lot "You knew about the Fantasy Spells?"
"Yes... I knew I was dying... So I wanted to be able to see my mother again even if it was one more time... So I made my own investigation... I read my mothers spell book and her cousin's spell book... Both having that one identical spell as well as the soul merging..." she explains gently
"So you wrote all of that on purpose" I say as I tried looking at her
"Indeed... I also knew this would happen... The priest literally betraying the town for wealth and long life..." she says as she holds me tighter
I didn't feel my lower body and I looked down I was already waist deep into the dark substance "What will happen if I finish the book?"
"I will be re-born... I added a little twists just to have something more of my own... Something different... But the same is added in the end... I want to be born in the same body my mother's soul is" she says gently
"How many years has it been?" I asked her
"This all happened 348 years ago... Mother's potion was losing effect 60 years ago so before her body withered away and her soul went into limbo for her reincarnation she handed the book to the nearest Alpha to be locked away... I was too powerful" she explains gently with a sad tone
"If she only knew what you had done..." I responded gently
"I wanted to tell her... But once I died in that fire my soul got trapped in the book with all my powers... The remaining I had outside the book I was able to basically throw my mother out of the flames" she tells me as she loosens her grip
"I will help you reunite with her... You'll be able to do everything a child could never achieved when dying so young" I placed my hand on her back as she lay on my shoulder finally releasing her death grip
I got swallowed up by the black substance and I just closed my eyes. My body going numb again. I wanted to keep holding her but she just vanished from my hold. The sensation of missing something creeping into my heart. This darkness didn't feel cold anymore. For some reason it felt so warm. So comforting. I cradled myself as I just felt so empty but warm inside. I feel the love of someone but at the same time I felt abandoned. What is this feeling? Why do I feel so alone? What should I do?
Am I trapped in this darkness?
