The last witch of Carlile Chapter 1
I knew what I had done as soon as the doors closed. The consequences that I had to face afterwards hitted me like a brick. I have lost my job and you might be wondering how.
It was crowded in the restaurant as usual and I didn't like these crowds especially those teenage boys who oogle at you thinking we don't notice. I don't like crowds for another major reason because it increased my workload as a waitress. I was running around the restaurant taking orders, giving them out that I ran across an obnoxious teenager.
He was talking with his friends when I went to take their orders,I wrote down their orders and when I turned around I felt something, A slap on my back ,my eyes got wide open, my mouth formed a perfect O that a fly could easily make a safe landing in my mouth. My face had to be a tomato from anger that when I turned around the once laughing idiots became scared.
"who was that"
"who knows maybe god thought that you needed a little tap" A boy with dirty blonde hair said then laughed with his friends. I took him by his shoulders and stood next to him.
"God huhh....wait i am getting a message from God..ahh huh ahh huh okay"
i slapped him right across his face and took the coffee that was on the nearby table of a lady saying sorry to her and threw that on their faces.It was so satisfying how their stupid grins got wiped out replaced with an embarassed expression. I gave myself a highfive. I should be an opera actress for creating all this drama.
" what the hell do you think you are doing" My boss came yelling at me and I knew exactly what the hell i was going to do.
" I quit"
I threw my apron right in his face, in my defence he deserved it, he always made comments on us girls.
I walked across the pavement of the road thinking about what job I'll take next.. definitely not a waitress I guess.I chuckled to myself. Being a 20 year old with no degree and basically broke I had an enormous attitude. I sure was going to struggle my way to hell.
I can't even remember the last time I had a fancy meal or even bought a nice dress or even went out to have fun.But i am greatful that i do have a nice house to live. I opened the door to my house as the door opened the nice homely smell of my house greeted me like it's happy i am home. I breathed in a little of it as i stepped in, I locked the door and ran towards my room to do my favourite thing in this entire universe....to sleep. I jumped on my bed.. so comfy. I basically fell on my pillow and closed my eyes.
"Angela my dear, dear girl how I've missed you" I felt a touch on my cheek, I immediately opened my eyes and saw my grandmother standing in front me. I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Camila..gran is that really you "
" yes dear it's me now come here and give this old lady a hug" she opened her arms for me and i jumped right into that comfort of her arms I hugged her so tight to tell her how much I missed her all these years.She looked exactly the same as when she used to teach me to paint when I was seven. She went missing when I was in my last year of High school.
"You missed my prom you know, I was really upset that i didn't even go to that stupid dance.I missed you so much gran,"
Ohh God here comes the waterworks
"Hey I missed you too my child, But you know I took care of you from afar, I always watched you from afar I never left"
But suddenly my grandmother vanished and in her place was a small black cat with green eyes in which there was a glint of mischief like it was smiling that it fooled me.
i looked around and i was no longer in my bedroom but in the woods behind my house ,but i noticed something that i knew was not there before. The tree that was the largest and stood like a king amoung the others had a small hole in its bottom. The Black cat meowed at me and went ahead and stood near the tree, it looked back at me like telling me to follow it . I went near the tree and inspected the hole but it was nothing more than a little hole a size of a football. I looked at the cat.
" Are you enjoying Making a fool out of me Mr cat"
the cat tilted its head at me.
I must be going crazy that i am talking to a cat. I looked at the hole again but it had gotten bigger and it was growing bigger. I gasped and took a step back but the cat jumped right into the hole. I tried to ran away but a root came right through the hole dragging me into it
"Help Mee"
I woke up from the dream , I looked around and i was still in my cozy bedroom.
"what was that" I put a hand on my head. I was sweating so much like i ran a hundred miles and my heart was beating so fast and I had a severe headache.
I got up from my bed and went to my bathroom and looked at my face in the mirror,it looked like I've seen a ghost it was so pale. i washed my face and took a shower. I wrapped a towel around my wet hair and stepped out of the bathroom. I went towards the window and opened my curtains. I gasped , I closed the curtains suddenly.
There was a black cat sitting outside my window. It looked like the same cat from that horrible dream.
