CHAPTER TWO

[[ 3 years after ]]
Evita Deighton's
I am currently walking on a field of flowers, catching a butterfly-like 5 years old. This is what I do every day like a routine get a rest in my little cabin, eat, and play outside. And then I saw a figure from afar coming in my direction. " Hey may I ask you what is this place? " he asked when he got in front of me. " I don't know, are you lost? You're not supposed to be here. " I said while tucking a strand of hair behind my ear that covered my face.
Because of that, I met him. We become friends and I have fallen deep. He appears every day to say 'Hi' and then we start talking, he is easy to talk with. He is a very gentleman that I can't believe until now, it's not that I'm judging him.
And then time passed he tells me this that make me cry and my heart sang in happiness.
" I love you "
•◇•◇•◇•◇•◇•◇•
I was woken by the blinding moonlight that touches my face. I slowly opened my eyes to see flowers everywhere. I woke up in a cave where a little moonlight can get through. I slowly moved my body and thankfully I can move it easily. They say that witches started the war but and they are bloodthirsty, but the truth is, like other supernatural beings some witches choose to not harm and Ophiuchus Coven, where I truly belong. When I go outside everyone stares at me in shock. They are doing some ritual around the cave where I slept for 10 years. Wearing their black capes, I can still see their shocked faces. Is there something wrong?
Frederica came to me and give me a slight bow before she tells me what is happening.
" High Priestess you shouldn't be awake by now. There are still 7 more years," she said while wearing a worry on her face.
I looked at her in complete shock, what does she mean by that? Is there something wrong with the spell? " Then why did I wake up earlier than expected? " I said. They say in the oracle the witch was born with white like snow hair between two powerful witches and wizards. A war will begin when her power begins to show. She will fall into a deep slumber to bring joy and not destroy.
hissed when I feel my palm hurt like it was stabbed with a little knife. And this mysterious flower-like symbol appeared on my palm. It also lights in deep purple ones.
I heard Frederica gasp, " That's why," she said and smile. I stare at her in complete curiosity.
" What is the meaning of this Frederica? I am sick? " I asked feeling nervous at the same time.
" By any chance, did you meet a guy in your dreams High Priestess? " she asked still smiling.
I Begin to worry more, " Yes, is it bad? " I said while my forehead wrinkled and my heart didn't stop beating faster than normal.
" It's good news! " she exclaimed in excitement.
" What is good about it? " I asked.
She guided me to the woods where there's a path that leads to I don't know where.
While walking slowly she started to explain everything. Every High Priestess in every coven meets the father of their child on a sacred dream set up by the moon goddess itself.
This flower on my hand means that I am now carrying a child. It is impossible but that is what they say is true.
This information is very new to me. I can't believe it at first. I can't feel anything.
We stop in front of an old big mansion. This is where we leave, I still can't believe that I belong here. I can still feel the feeling when the first time I stepped into this mansion 3 years ago.
Frederica said that the war that the witches started stopped the day after we begin the ritual.
The witches started the war when I was 7, at that time my powers showed u,p and the witches race to find me, to use me as their weapon. But luckily my coven found me first.
" It's been so long since you got here, there are so many things that change High Priestess. " Frederica said merrily.
I smiled at her, she's right. The place is more crowded children are running around now. I'm happy about this change, now the war is over we could live peacefully.
I hissed when I feel the familiar pain from earlier again. " Frederica, why is it so painful? " I said while holding my hand, it's like burning.
" Don't worry Priestess, it's normal. She was just telling you that she is there. Now you should take a rest since you need it. " she said and opened the door of my room for me and gestured me to enter.
•◇•◇•◇•◇•◇•◇•
I woke up by the cheerful laughs of the children and the clang of plates. They are so noisy what is happening? Oh, I almost forgot that everything changed. When I imagined their happy faces I began to think about my brother, is he alright? He must be very angry right now since I left without saying goodbye.
I get up and decided to join them. They greeted me when they saw me and some are bowing showing their respect and I just nod to them.
I just sitting in the middle-end of the table when a girl probably my age rush inside the dining room, tears are falling down her cheeks.
" Please help! My brother didn't come back last night, I'm worried that something might happen to him! " she let out.
" I knew it. " Carolin said.
I asked them to explain everything, they say after the war ended werewolves started their lives again and they did manage to stand on their feet. Werewolves come back to their old lives before the war. Every teen goes back to studying. Every pack takes their old territory. When everything started to be alright werewolves didn't do anything to witches but they invited them to socialize with them instead. They offer a scholarship to every witch that wants to go to school.
But some of my coven elders doubt this. And I kind of doubt it too.
" I must go there by myself Frederica so I could see what is every witch's situation there. " I'm currently convincing Frederica and the elders to let me go since I'm young and I can manage to sneak in and check what happened.
" It's very dangerous Priestess, please understand. " Susan said and everyone agrees. I know that they are afraid of my safety but I'm not that weak. I'm also stronger than them.
" I can protect myself if anything bad happens, I have to find Cecilia's brother anyway. I can't let anyone hurt someone from my Coven. " I said seriously.
They just agreed in the end.
" You must be very careful Evita, now that you're carrying your heir. You should protect her " Amalia the oldest among the elders she is like a grandmother to me.
" Why her? We don't know the gender yet " I laugh and she just stared at me.
" Dear child, Ophiuchus Coven's witches don't give birth to a son. " She smiled and pat my head. I just nod. I wanted to have a son tho.
Going to school with Cecilia she still keeps shivering. Maybe she is afraid of my presence.
" Why you didn't quit school then? " I asked suddenly and she flinched because of that.
" Sorry about that. " I said and she looked at me.
" I-it's nothing H-high Priestess," she said and look down on the ground again.
I see there is a reason she is very timid, and I like to find out.
When we arrived everyone glares like they are digging holes in us. I don't care since I could literally dig a hole in them. It's a piece of cake.
So this is what I miss.
