At the Cross house after the annual ball day
In the evening,
Cold sweat can be seen forming on Euphorial's face,she is definitely having a nightmare.In her nightmare a small girl crying voice was heard 'mot-her don't lea-ve me-eeee' she started hiccuping.
'Glorial please stay a little while if not because of me but for our daughter,she is still small she needs a mother to take care of her needs.How do you expect me to take care of her I'm jobless because of you' came the pleading voice of her father.
'Charles don't try to reason me out you know that the kingdom needs me i can feel it in my bones,the magical realm is calling unto me and i can reject it.The bond is too strong and you know i can't survive for long if i don't go back to the magical realm since I'm not a rogue witch.Don't worry i will come back for her when the time is right after you she is my only home'.The small Euphorial heard her mother words and started sobbing loudly again "mother don't leave me,don't leave me alone,take me with you!!!!!!!!"(ToT)╥﹏╥(T⌓T)(╯︵╰,)(╯︵╰,)(╯︵╰,)(╯︵╰,)(╯︵╰,).
'Mother' she shrieked awake.She curl herself up and started crying.She really missed her mother,she can't remember her face clearly again but she knew she looked alot like her.
It seems mother didn't remember me again.She said she will come back for me and father but it seems she had forgotten us but at least she still supply goods for father so that he can sell them and take care of me with the products from his sale in the black market.
Euphorial got up from bed and then washed up so she could visit her friend Victor.After she dressed up she decided to braid her hair since it is windy outside.She sat before the mirror to make her self presentable but her hand turned stiff when she remembered her mother again,it seems her mother is a witch so the rumors about her being a witch must have stemmed from her mother.She braided her hair and went downstairs to the dinning hall to eat her breakfast.
'Morning beautiful' Charles greeted his daughter.
'Morning father Cross,you look handsome this morning.Are you going on a date with the person you danced with yesterday?' Questioned Euphorial as she put the scrambled eggs on the plate in her mouth.
"No,I'm going no where i just dressed up for you.You looked pale,what happened"
'Well let me just say i was reminded of mother through my dream'.The fork her father was using dropped down immediately after her shocking words.
"What memory of yours resurfaced?"
'The one of her leaving us,excuse me father but i need to get to my friend'.She stood up to go but her father stopped her by saying "i think we should move to the drawing room,i have to tell you more about your mother since you will be eighteen next month".
'Okay then'.Euphorial nodded.
In the drawing room
"Your mother is a good person,she left because her magic was turning dark which is not a good thing for a witch.Those witch with dark magic are called rogue witches.She didn't leave us only because of that reason but also because the union between vampires and witches is frowned up that is why we had to live among humans since we couldn't stay together in both the vampire and the magical worlds.Your mother was a powerful witch,she casted a spell on me that will make me a human whenever I'm among the humans and then whenever I'm among thebvampires i will become a vampire,that spell she casted then turned me into a half vampire".He paused a little to look at his daughter but he was surprised when she didn't show any kind of fear it was as if she already knew.
'So what I'm i Father? I know I'm not a vampire turned to a half vampire like you're'
"You are rare specie baby.You are a combination of the breed of your mother and i you are a half vampire,half human and half witch.Your mother had to lock your witchy powers and also your memories so you wouldn't turn to a rogue witch.Don't blame your mother for the kind of life you had to live".Her father pleaded
'Now that i know father i won't blame anyone'.She hugged her father.While she was hugging her father a knock was heard at their door step.Euphorial stood up to check.
'This is the letter of king Otis to the Cross family,have a nice day' the messenger said while handing the letter to her, he bowed and left.
Euphorial's heart started drumming in fear 'maybe the king had heard about the rumors why would he send us a letter after the annual ball if not for punishment?' she said to her father.
"Calm down it may be from the palace but not coming from the king.Maybe it is from the man you danced with yesterday.Let us open it before you let fear ruin you".
