"Grandpa, what do you mean by that," Says Emily still confused
"I mean, to initiate your spirit troll self we have to host a ceremony called Atrinsical which means the arrival of a new troll" Grapa Peter explained happily.
"But I thought all this stuff was a fairy tale and therefore not true," Emily said
"What! Why should you think that way child everything we 've told you so far is nothing but the truth" says Gramma Hannah in a comforting way.
"Ooh gosh I'm dead that's the same time I'm supposed to meet Joe, "Emily thought
"Wait a minute .. aren't trolls suppose to be giants and rocky? I don't think I look like any of those" says Emily hoping to convince them.
"Yes you are right dear but that was a long time ago before your grandmother who was a human fell in love with a male troll, the troll turn himself into a human to have a family with his love we are the descendants of what transpired between the two and because of the mixed blood we attain the troll power in our teens and after the ceremony, we trained on how to control the power."Grandma Hannah explains.
"Does it mean that Grandpa is also half-troll?"Asked Emily
"Naa I'm just good at training half-trolls to control their powers, "Grandpa Peter said
"No, No, No this can't be happening," Emily said running to her room. Leaving her grandparents speechless.
Her grandma tried to follow her but grandpa Peter stopped her. "She needs some time for herself.
Emily went to her room confused and furious, she decided to take a stroll outside. She passed through the window which was her usual escape route when she wants to get away from her grandparent's drama.
She needed someone to talk to, fortunately for her, She saw her best friend Simon. Technically Simon was her only friend since everyone in school and her neighborhood thought of her as a weirdo. Simon was a handsome teenage boy with blonde hair and teal eyes which matched his oval face and his masculine body. Though his mother has warned him countless times to stay away from Emily and her Family he still steals his way to see them.
He immediately called Emily, and when he saw her,
"Hey Em I was just on my way to your place"
"Hello Si how are you"
"As usual I'm fantastically good but you don't seem like your usual self what's wrong with you? and DONT YOU DARE LIE TO ME."
"aaah well if you say so, I just found out that my family's troll history is true and I'm likely to attain my powers tomorrow, the same day and time I will be having a date with my crush, "says Emily exhaustingly
"Hold on What?! You must be joking, that is so cool except for the part that the day and time are the same as your date," says Simon excitingly.
"I really don't know what to do now, I am in a dilemma,"says Emily
"hmmm I think I have a plan,"says Simon with a suspicious smile.
"Tell your crush to reschedule the time to 6:30 so you can come early for the ceremony, "Simon said
"That's a great idea Si lemme do just that"
So Emily texted Joe and Joe accepted the time.
Emily couldn't hide her joy she felt like she was killing two birds with one stone and huging the life out of Simon.
"Em you are squeezing the life out of me , I caan't breathe," says Simon as he was struggling to break free.
"Awww sorry I guess I have a supper strength," Emily said jokingly. They both spent some time getting her and later went home. Emily waited for tomorrow as tomorrow seem far.
The long-awaited Saturday came and Emily made sure to finish her chores early. Her grandparents also preparing for the ceremony their house seems gaudy. Everybody was engaged in something.
When it was 6:00 Emily dressed, wearing a sleevles red straight dress matching her long black hair showcasing her curves with a red scarf tied around her neck. She sneaked out using her usual escape route.
She got to the address at exactly 6:30 and Joe was already waiting."Dammn he is handsome"Emily thought.
Emily walked over to where Joe sat.
Joe was mesmerized by her beauty and couldn't stop staring at her.
"Hi," Emily said, bringing Joe back to life
"Erm hello, you look beautiful I. I erm how are you" Joe stammered.
" Thank you and I'm doing well, how about you"
"I'm well"
They were all out of words after exchanging pleasantries the atmosphere began to feel awkward. Emily wanted to break the silence since she was dealing with time.
"So Rose tells me you are her boyfriend"
"ooh no no that is not true, We were just childhood friends"
"oh really she seems to be obsessed with you now" Emily mocked
"Speaking of the devil " Emily panicked as she saw Rose entering the tarven.
Afraid that she will cause trouble for her since she has 10 minutes left to go home. Not that she is afraid she will turn to a troll but the fear of her grandparents, finding out she is not there. Emily tried to put on a brave face and tried to sip her drink but as soon as she tried to pick up the drink some small stones seeming like travels fell into the drink.
"Where from this" Emily said surprisingly, she tried to look around, then she felt her arm was kinda stiff, that's when she realised her elbow has turned rocky and moving upwards to her upper arm.
