Chapter 6 - THE FOREST, EVIE'S POV

''Ugh! this is a bad idea!!!'' I grunted pushing a branch out of my way.

''Guys!'' I heard Tasha call out, ''I've found her!'' I followed the sound of her voice, and I came out in a clearing.

''Huh''. I saw a pond and Kiara just knelt beside it staring at the water.

''What is she doing?'' Hailey whispered to me.

''I have no *ucking idea'' I whispered back. Kiara stretched out her hand dipped her into the water as if shocked she leaped out of the way.

''Kiara!'' We rushed to her side.

''Are you okay?'' Tristen asked helping her up, but Kiara rejected her outstretched hand.

''Back off humans'' She snarled and got up dusting off herself.

''What happened?'' Tasha asked ignoring her tone.

''Nothing!'' Kiara snapped at her, but as if an idea struck her, she looked curiously at Tasha,''Buut...'' She pulled Tasha back towards the lake.

''Dip your hand in the water'' Kiara ordered her.

''But-''.

''Now!''.

''Fine!, Geez'' Tasha dipped her hand and pulled it back, but there was something in her hand.

''Is that a key?'' I asked shocked.

We all circled her.

Kiara gasped.

''It's true'', And for the first time since i met her she actually smiled,'' The legend is true'' She hugged Tasha tightly and we all had the same expression.

''Woah, woah, woah'' Tasha pushed her away.'' Would like freaking explain what the hell is happening!?''.

''Wanna hear a story?'' Kiara asked with a smirk.

*****************************************************************

 More than a million years ago, there lived an old silver haired witch queen. She was known to have been history's oldest witch queen and knew her time was running out but her predecessor, a younger witch had been captured by a gang of rogue vampires. The kingdom was in chaos.'' What was to become of them once this queen, Alicia dies?'', Where the questions they asked themselves.

 One day Alicia began plotting a plan on how to rescue the captured witch, Lilith. She sent a group of disguised witches to the country of the rogue vampires to spy on them. And on reaching there they were met with a shocking revelation. The rogue vampire king, King Kyle, had fallen in love with Lilith and had made her his queen! and it seemed Lilith had fallen in love with him as well.

 The spying witches fled back to their kingdom and reported back to their queen. Alicia angered at the betrayal, casted a spell on the vampire and the whole race was wiped out. This of course enraged Lilith and she swore for vengeance at the demise of her beloved.

 Using the last of her powers she locked up all the witches powers and gave up the ghost.

 Alicia seeing what she had done gave up some of her powers to her people thus weaking her and sealed the rest and her soul in a tree casting the key into the river. She felt she couldn't do more for her people and didn't deserve to live.

 Unknown to them all, some vampires had fled from their city earlier and seeing what had happened, waged a war against the witches they were led by the strongest of them all Alexander.

 Their mission was to retrieve the key and take all the deceased witch queens' powers all to themselves.

 The witches knowing their intentions built a school for humans on the land which bore the tree their witch had resided in.

 Now it all seemed like a myth, but the younger generation of witches had tried finding this key to uncover past secret.

''...and here we are'' Kiara said with a low sigh.

''Oh and of course we are supposed to keep our identities secret, but I have a feeling I can trust you guys''.

''As cute as that is and how dumb that whole story sounded-'', Tasha stated.

''What!?'' Kiara asked appearing shocked.

''You guys don't believe me?''.

''Nope, not really''Tristen said with a shrug.

''I've read some pretty cool fictions, but this is a little too over the top''. I said not really wanting to believe.

''Hello!?'' Kiara yelled out in disbelief.

''My hair?'' She said gesturing to her knee length red hair.

 ''Never heard of a wig?'' Hailey said crossing her arms.

''My eyes?''

''Contacts?'' I said with a shrug.

''W-wha-?''Kiara said,'' You guys are unbelievable. Fine then'' She closed her eyes and stretched her two arms in front of her, she muttered something under her breath and in less than two seconds we were back to where we were raking leaves just in time for Mr. asshole to come inspect are work.

''Are you delinquents done?'' He asked but we were still reeling in shock.

''What just happened!?'' Tasha yelled out glaring at Kiara.

''We are done her Kiara said, that's when I noticed all the leaves were gone including the trash bags, Kiara walked out leaving us all flabbergasted.
