*** I had already gone to bed after the torturous question from the girls, I had also spoken to Dante after I took my shower, bella also had retired to bed, and soon I slept off.
*** I had found myself back to my parents house only this time my parents were there and I ran to them crying , my mom looked at me frowning, what's wrong Emily, she asked and I cried not knowing how to explain to them that they had died , only t to find out there were really not talking to me and I loked back to see myself and also a younger version of me , I looked at the girl who looked at me and I was trying to understand what exactly was going, on , mother the flowers have bloomed the little girl had said , and my parents were confused as to what flowers and I watched as the girl lead my parents to the garden, look she said pointing as dozens of beautiful roses were displayed on the garden.
*** And immediately she showed them that my mother paled, did you do this Emily my mother had squatted down to look at the young girl, I don't know the little girl replied, tell me exactly what happened my mother asked and I couldn't miss the panic In her voice, I just touched one of them , because I looked beautiful I imagined how beautiful the garden would look if there were alot of them the little girl replied and my mother paled .
*** Charles my mother had called to my father, look at what she did, after everything I did to keep her away from all this , she promised me it would skip my daughter, but look at this now, you know this was the main reason I had left home, she said crying and the little girl knelt before my mother , stop crying mama, I won't make you sad again while using here little arms to hug my mother, it's not your fault Emily, it's mother's fault I couldn't protect you well , it's all my fault, my mother had said robbing the little girls head.
*** The scene had changed to when the little girl was sleeping and my mother was beside her on the bed, is she here she asked my father who nodded eagerly as someone else stepped into the room, what's this I hear scarlet, the woman walked to my bed, she has already began to develop her powers, my mom said earning a surprised exclamation from the woman, that's impossible she's still very young to have tapped into the bloodline, I don't know what to do please help me, they can't find her , please my mother said to the woman who looked at me looking worried but curious, what exactly did she do?, she willed the roses in the gardens to grow, what !, she can will nature, that's a powerful magic, it seems she's the choson descendant, that can't be my mother replied, they said the powers was lost already, how come she has it.
*** We can't control the will of things scarlet, your daughter is really special and you know it, we can only delay it but we can't stop nature from running it's course , just help me Ayana , you are the only person I trust , let me check her first and the woman moved closer to the girl, she said something and a soft glow came from the tips of her fingers and she laid her hands in the girl, after some time she removed it.
*** Her magic is strong so can't seal it , we can only suppress it, how ? My mother asked, I would give you the ingredients you would use to make a candle for her , make sure you place it around the house and in her room, remember once she stops inhaling it , it's potency will start to dwindle and if she ever comes in contact with mugwort leaf the entire potency will cease to exist, this is all I can do at the mean time , the test is all up the will of nature, thank you ayana I will never forget you help, start it tomorrow, she would loose memory oh how she will the roses to grow but I must warn you, suppressing her magic would make it even more powerful if she suddenly regains it once, so please think this through to make sure this is what you really want for her.
*** I woke up suddenly with cold sweat running down my body, was that a dream or what , it didn't look like a dream but rather real like a piece of my memory , my parents were there, my head was aching at the thought of what I saw , I looked at my phone, it was 2:00pm in the night, what was that supposed to mean, I drank some water and decided not to think much about it and slept off again.
*** The midterms break would be ending today and we were meant to go back to school, I had already spent the last few days hanging out with the girls and honestly everything was fun and I enjoyed my self, Dante also proved to be a good boyfriend as he showed me with lots of gifts , I would sincerely miss all these once I returned back to school.
*** Dante decided I was to ride back to school with him , saying it was his job, so I packed my things and we drove back to oveil high , the classes would the starting the next day so there was definitely no time to waste, I took my things back to the dorm, and prepared myself for night class.
*** I walked into principal Ann's office , and sat down, how was your vacation, she asked and I grumped, you could have extended it a little bit I said obviously displeased I couldn't spend more time with Emily, we gave important issues at home so fun time is over, the elders are here , she said and that peaked my interest, it must be something serious if the came, I said and she nodded, they think the shape shifters are gathering the requirements they need to break the curse as the next blood moon is arriving.
*** You haven't really told me what exactly started the war, I said watching as she sighed, this is beyond my reach, the enemity was already there even before I was born, but I think the real story is in the scroll, what powers exactly does this scroll that they want to get it so badly.
*** No one knows it's real power as no one has been able to access it, but from what I heard , it would make it self known when it finds the right person to weird it, according to legend, it contains so many powerful spells and rituals and also secrets that holds the balance of nature, which makes it powerful and dangerous at the same time.
*** A ritual would be performed very soon , that's the main reason the elders are here, what ritual?, the seal holding the shapeshifters'' from leaving this land is beginning to weaken, and the elders suspect they have a very powerful witch by their side, and besides the scroll would not remain safe if they grow more powerful, so what does this ritual entail?, the high priestess would need your blood, why? I asked frowning, age needs something in-between the balance of nature, I humped, you don't need to sugar coat your words I know what you mean.
*** She needs something that's not supposed to be, yes Dante which is why you would be officially joining the council, what ! No I can't bear such honour I replied with pure sarcasm, yog don't have a choice, you father was a council member and his absence requires someone else fills in his position and the council decided who else but his son to be the right candidate for that.
*** And you also think so I asked her?, you would need enough power and people to protect Emily if the war was to go down, and you know the privileges that comes from being in the council, is that a threat !! I asked her springing up from my seat, think whatever you want but don't miss the meeting tonight.
*** I walked out of her office and headed down to my house, I had a cold shower to calm my mind, I knew this was my father's decision, because a council member can't be changed without the previous knowledge, I just couldn't understand what exactly he was planning.
*** If I had to join the council I might as well make sure they understand I wasn't a coward or someone they could walk over or control, that high priestess or what , I would speak to her later, as much I was a witch my self I never actually fully trusted them.
