Chereads / A DARKENED HEART / Chapter 4 - Convincing

Chapter 4 - Convincing

I had a really good bath and after changing into my nightgown. I went to my room only to find my grandma tearing a page from my spell book. " grandma what are you doing?" I said while approaching her, she tried to hide the paper but eventually gave up." let me have it" I told her bur she was hesitant so I teleported behind her and grabbed it. " ugh, I forgot you could do that " she said while I looked at the paper, " it's a searching spell, we could find mom and dad using this" I said joyfully to her but then she sighed and said " I know but it requires you going to the demon world. it will only work there". I knew what she was implying, she would never let me go to the demon world and I couldn't just teleport there because it was a hidden place. Only those who had stayed there long enough could find it, " grandma why don't you want to take me there?". I asked as if I didn't know the answer, she always told me " it's not safe" and I knew her reply this time wouldn't be any different but I was going to try my best to convince her. " grandma , what if father defeated the Shakira and is still rulling with mother" I said trying to persuade her but then she cupped my cheeks and said " listen April, if your father had made it then he would come looking for you", she was right " but what if he is, you can't forget that we have hidden our identity" I also had a point but I didn't think that I had convinced her yet. " Mom and dad would be missing us as we are missing them or don't you miss your son and daughter in-law?" I was trying to let her see her emotions as well. Her eyes were teary now and she didn't have to say anything for me to know the answer to my question. She then looked at me and said" I miss them April, I do but I want you to be safe, I can't risk your life trying to do things which I'm not sure of the outcome. you know you're the only one I have now, I don't want to lose you ". I felt a tear roll down my cheek, we were both crying. " I'm tired, you should sleep we will have the lesson some other time" she said and stood up then she left after kissing me a good night, I knew she missed her son so much. she had gone through a lot to keep him alive, I lay down on my bed looking at the ceiling. My father was a demon and a witch , this was because my grandma was a witch while my grandpa was an ancient demon. The witches didn't accept my father and tried to get rid of him when he was a child but my grandparents were always there for him. My case wasn't any different and worse my mom was a human but the witches of couldn't harm me because my father was very powerful possessing the powers of both a witch and a demon. I didn't know when I drifted to sleep and then I had a nightmare. My room was on fire and I was trapped, I tried to teleport but my powers weren't working " grandma!" , I said screaming for help when I heard a laughter from the ceiling, the man came down and said" no one can hear you and now you will die here" , " no! grandma!, help me" I screamed with tears streaming down my eyes. The man transformed into a huge dragon and opened it's mouth to burn me. " No!" I shouted as I woke up realizing it was just a dream. I went to the bathroom and splashed some water on my face, I was hot and water helped cool me down. I sat down on the bed and held myself, " it was just a dream" I said assuring myself. I tried to sleep but couldn't then I tried to sleep but couldn't. I went downstairs trying to keep myself occupied,I went to the kitchen and decided to make breakfast since it was almost morning but what could I make coffee?. I tried making eggs but burnt them making the kitchen all smoky "what are you doing April?" I heard Martha say. " to cook, could you please help me?" I asked her, then she helped me open the windows and make. " I'll go take my bath" I told Martha after we were done making breakfast and went to my room. After my shower, I was about to leave when I met my grandma at the door" April get ready we're going to the demon world" she said leaving me surprised.
