The Twin Witches

Chapter 8

A witch

“It's me Ariana, your sister?”

Two hours before;

Freya woke up with someone knocking on her door. She whined as she heard her brother Fredrick yelling on the other side of her door for her to wake up or they are going to be late for school. She picked up her alarm clock, seven thirty in the morning.

“7:30!” she shrieked as she jumped up and hurried to her closet to pick some clothes and went to the bathroom to change. Before she could reach the bathroom door she conveyed inside. “What the h***” she cursed as she ran to the door yelling for her parents to come. But before they could come to her room , she was already in the kitchen standing in front of them. Her brother had fallen from his chair because of Freya’s sudden appearance. Her parents were shocked and fear written all over their faces.

“Mom,dad,” she stammered. “Can you explain this?” tears flowed in her face of fear. Fear of what she is, of what she can do, and mostly fear of losing her family's love because of it.

“What am I?” she trembled

“You're a witch dummy! A voice in her head soothed.

“What?” She gasped. “What did you just say?

“Freya we didn't say anything,” proclaimed her mother.

“But.. but I heard someone say something” she stammered.

“What did it say?,her father asks

“It says that I… I… “ she contemplated.

“Freya, honey, you don't need to be afraid. We will love you whatever you are, you are our daughter and no one will question it”,her father stated. She feels relieved.

“It says, I'm a witch?. They stared at her but no one uttered a word, fear crypt back into her as she looked at their reaction.

“Does this mean I can save my money for the gas to something else?” Fredrick jokes, her mom shook her head and her father laughed.

“But witches have familiars like a pet of sorts, so if I am one, where is my familiar? She mumbled.

“I am your familiar smart B, I’m Ella by the way. And don't talk so loud, we can mindlink like wolves. Oh, we need to find our mate, I didn't had one before but mother say I had now so, operation find mate”

“Mom, how do you block Amy in your connection because Ella here is blabbering in my head.”

“Who’s Ella?” they asked in unison.

“She’s my familiar”

“Honey, we all know familiar cannot communicate with the witch.”

“I know but Ella can and she's me.” Freya said.

“We must tell the King about this”.Her father begins. “We can't hide this to him, it will not do us good if he finds out.”

“Well you're right but if he is going to kick our daughter out, I will go with her”, mom claimed.

“Mom, you don't need to. You have taught me to be strong and independent,so you don't need to worry.”

Fredrick went to school an hour late without Freya. She and her parents will have a meeting with the King in his office, so they hurry up and go to the packhouse.

Her father knocked into the King's office door twice before they let themselves in. King Maxwell sat behind his desk as he greeted them.

“Chris, what is it that you want to talk about, that is so urgent?” he asked as the door opened and the Queen lets herself in and sat beside her mate.

“Your majesty, we found out this morning that today is Freya's birthdate, and she is not what we expected her to be” dad explained.

The King and Queen stared at her as she lowered her head to look at the floor instead. They wait for my father to say more.

“Freya is not a werewolf but a witch.” Her father continued as the door opened and an alluring scent hit her nostrils. She looked up into the doorway as she met Alex disgustedly stared at her.

“It can’t be!" “ I will not be mated to a witch! He growled. Freya felt an ache in her chest, tears began to fall but she blinked it out. She would not shed a tear in front of him. The King had said something but she didn't hear what it was. Her world was spinning, a hand guided her into the couch to sit. Her parents hugged her and consoled her.

“I will talk to him”

Freya lifted her gaze to the Queen.

“You don't have to, if you excuse me, your majesties,I need to go”, as she teleported herself to her room.

She was on her bed with her face on her pillow and crying till the ache on her chest subsided. Her phone rangs, she took it out from her pocket and answered.

Hello, who's this?”

“Is this Freya?"

“Ya.. and who are you?”

“It's me Ariana, you're sister”.

She's speechless, a sister? This is too much,she thought. A witch, a mate and now a sister?

“Freya, are you still there?”

“Can we meet?" Ariana asked

“We must inform the King first.” Freya suggested.

“We're on it, see you”.

Freya teleported back to the packhouse outside the King's office to talk to her parents. She doesn't want to intrude with the King's private matters by appearing inside without permission. The door was ajar and she heard what they were talking about. Alex was there and they were arguing. “ My parents were dead, her kind killed them! “ Freya heard Alex screamed. “Alex, she's still Freya, not all witches are bad. Dark witches killed your parents, not light, remember? Alexandra's soothing voice said. “How can you be so sure she's light and not a dark witch?” Alex retorted. Freya had enough as she stormed inside.

“If you are so adamant that I am a bad person and you are disgusted by me, just utter the word so we will end this! She bellowed. They stared at each other, the struggles he had inside is visible.

“If you can’t say it, I will! I,Freya Wilson” she began but Alex's voice interrupted her. No, it's not Alex, it's Luca, his wolf was in control.

“Don't reject us, mate, my human is stubborn but we want you” Luca said as he let Alex take over again as he stormed out from the office.

“Honey, are you alright?” mom asked.

“No, I’m not” as she let out a sobbed into her mother’s embrace. The King’s phone rang, he signaled them to be quiet as he answered it.

“Ya, when?" “Alright “. The King hung up the phone when a shimmering, swirling vortex appeared in front of them.
