Magic Unbound

Betrayal . Pov Macy

"Nanna everything alright? Nothing is wrong ?" honestly have no idea why would she be calling this late. "Sweetheart I don't have time to explain but you need to leave where you are right now. Someone is after you. You are a special kind of witch, I know you know you are different and I know you have just awoken. We all felt it, So If I felt it so did they. Have you found him yet?" 

wow so I didn't get the memo about being a witch

"So I am a witch? Who is after me? Yes, I am with him. The same person in my dreams? You let me think I was crazy nan?." I was so confused about all the missing links in my so-called normal life and the things no one had told me. But I had other things to deal with, I had to leave.

"I will explain more when I can. Put him on the phone." Sam just took the phone from my hand. Snapping back into panic mode I hung up then I realized I was in some true danger.

"Alex something is wrong. Nanna called someone is coming, I think that figure in my nightmares"

Samuel attempted some type of spell.

"An ansien an ne Anien ciol sea ansione apa gewitan horngeap" his eye glazed over like he went somewhere else

"It's weak I don't have access to everything I need but it should give me a small amount of time, Alex you are under the cloaking spell to but ill need you to head home or back to the party. I will keep you informed of where we are and come to us in an hour or two"

Alex just nodded gave Samuel his phone to add his phone number.

"Mace, I will see you soon babe. I love you." Alex paused for what felt like forever and turned to Samuel "I'm trusting my nonbiological sister in your hands. I may not have powers or whatever but keep her safe, she is all I have."

Samuel just nodded and half smirked at Alex 

"Let's go"

It took 5 mins as Samuel said.

After Samuel's cloaking spell had fallen I could almost feel the darkness creeping up behind us it rattled me. The darkness scared me to the bone. I tried to remember the chant Samuel had said in my head, but it was all jumbled. I couldn't think straight. I don't know what came has come over me I could feel my gut telling me to look back. I can see them following us. I closed my eye I could feel a surge seeping through my eyes down my neck, my shoulder, the tips of my fingers were tingling. I could feel my power it felt like electricity going through me wanting to be burst out. Something came into my mind something my nanna told me as a child when you want to realize light. "acolitus". This ball of light busted through my whole body. It shot right to the dark coven a flash of light blinded them to a complete stop. Samuel had come to a stop as well "what the hell was that Macy?" I have no idea how to explain what I just did or how I knew what to say. "I don't know, I just felt electricity soring through me. it was like I had a vision, or, even a memory that my nanna taught me as a child, it just blasted out of me". I'm completely shaking Samuel got off the bike leaned down to me and held me.

"It will be okay love. Embrace it you are one bad arse, Macy. One day they will be running from you not chasing us. Just then you gave them a taste of what you can do, imagine what we could do together." I'm not one for power but he was right it did feel good to have the upper hand. After 15 minutes of riding, I felt the fog lift off me. I didn't feel so nervous and scared anymore, I knew they had gone in the meantime but who were they? what did they want with us? I hope Alex is okay, I know he can handle himself against humans, but we know nothing about witches. I have never been on a motorbike. It was rather thrilling that I almost forgot what was happening in my world at that moment in time.

We arrived just outside the city at this cute little cottage with flowers and herbs everywhere. It feels peaceful here, it feels safe. This older lady came to the front door. She looked like she was straight out of a hippy festival. She smelt like rosemary and sage. I know these smells well my nanna always had it hanging around the house "what happened to you? I felt strange dread Samuel and it is late I have been worried sick. You said you would call". I guess she hadn't noticed me yet I was standing right behind Samuel "oh who is this little redhead? I'm sorry my dear Samuel knows better than not to call me. I get worried you see. Come inside I will make you a cup of tea" she is nice, I wonder how many girls Samuel has brought back here? how many other witches? How many other witches are there? I'm bombarding myself with too many questions that I'm sure some of them will be answered. "I just have to call Alex. I need to make sure he is okay and nothing happened to him". I hope he made it to the taxi okay. "okay Macy, Gran there is someone else coming Macy's best friend Alex. Come let's put the kettle on and I will tell you about it inside and no funny business Gran I know what you're up to". She seemed sweet as if she couldn't manage any funny business. Looking down at my phone I had a text from Alex. "Babes I am okay. Gone home to change and have a shower but I will meet you soon". Well, that was a relief. I scroll down my list of names on my phone. I know who I need to call but I am still annoyed at her, I press dial regardless "hello my dear, I take it you got out okay?" I wish she could see me roll my eyes "yes Nanna just, if it wasn't for Samuel. You have a lot of explaining to do. I had to be told I was a witch from someone who visits my dreams". I have never spoken to my nanna that way I'm starting to feel a little bad. "Yes love you right your mother and I decided not to tell you. At first, we thought you might not have been a witch. Your mother never embraced her powers that she chose to live completely human. She wanted you to have a normal upbringing. until you ascended but you never brought up anything that you were ascending. You come from a long line of witches. A long power line. I could feel your power tonight. I could feel you drain the power of my coven and drain me. You are my blood you have full access to my power but to drain my coven as well is something I have never felt before." wow "so you have no power now? How does that even work?" how did I manage something like that "my dear our powers will return in a short time. Honey what did you do to need that much power?" I still don't know. "I shot a ball of light out of my hands at the people chasing us. I said something you had taught me as a child. Acolitus I think it was". It doesn't matter how many times I think or say it it's so unbelievable. "oh my Macy I knew you were powerful with your father being a witch to but that's something else. You are the light in the darkness that's how you were able to harness our power, you became our light. I will talk to you later dear I do need to rest now. Stay with Samuel and you will be safe okay, okay love you, bye now my little witch". she hung up before I even got to say anything else "Alex okay?" his voice made me forget everything. "yes he is going home than coming here after he freshened up and had a shower". I am so grateful of Alex believing in me without a question asked. "Macy come inside Gran has made a pot of tea for us all. You are needing to freshen up yourself and grab some sleep". Tea, shower and sleep sounded so good. I have no idea what the time is I knew it was late. Samuels Gran's house wasn't as small as it looked on the outside there were books and hanging plants all over the house. "oh come here child. take a seat to drink some tea. Samuel told me everything that happens tonight this must be all new to you sweetness. Even for an old witch-like myself what is happening is strange". This tea was amazing my nerves started to calm I can only think of all the herbs she put in this tea "can you feel the magic too? My nanna said she could. I was able to drain some magic from her". she had just tilted her head sidewards. "interesting child. pass me your cup please so I may look at the leaf's" Samuel started shaking his head "Gran! You promised no funny business". Oh so this is what he meant by funny business. "don't be silly I'm not looking for you I'm looking for her. Don't you think it's strange her family don't tell her who she is when her nanna is a high priestess of a large coven? Her ascending draws you to her and she has the ability to absorb the power, are you not the least bit interested?" She has got me interested. All these things needed answering. "I want to know about myself. My nanna was sketchy about everything to me". She started looking into the cup. "That doesn't seem right. All I see is the night hag. She is the one after you, both of your past present and future are tangled together. It's in your blood". What on earth does that mean. My brain started to hurt again "Gran I think Macy has had enough for tonight, are you going to be staying up Gran?" We both got up. Samuel stood behind me I could feel his hand resting on my back. This should feel strange I know the guy but yet I feel like I have known him forever. "yes my dear you know I'm a night owl. Plus, I will wait up for your friend. Go children get some rest. Samuel shows Macy to the guest room. I am going to look through the grimoire to get some ideas". I wouldn't mind sleeping but I wanted to spend some time with Samuel. I had so much to ask him. "follow me Macy I will show you the room and the bathroom". I turn and Nod at Samuel's gran and follow Samuel he grabs my hand. His hand is soft and firm all at once he shows me to the bathroom. "Here are the towels. I will grab you one of my shirts and some shorts. I will put your dirty clothes in the wash so you have a clean pair tomorrow". I could sense he always got his way especially when it came to women. He was so sure of himself in everything. He knew how to be kind but still get what he wanted. He was right I would like clean clothes. "yes sir" I don't know why I said it like that he was just trying to be nice. "I will leave you to it" oh s**t I have offended him. "Samuel can you wait for me I don't want to be alone" his smile settled all my nerves "I can join if you like? But if not I can wait right outside". I gave him a cockeyed look. I want to giggle like a schoolgirl but I didn't want to look like he swooned me. "Outside please". Yes, Macy is nice and firm. I don't know what I was trying to do, any other girl would have just said yes to him. The shower is just what the doctor ordered I felt normal again, well semi-normal. Wrapping myself in the towel, I realized I actually had no clothes "Samuel?" I am hoping he is still there "yes queen" queen. I can see he is taking what I said before as a joke. "Funny I need some clothes to please". I heard him slide up the side of the door where he must have been sitting "are you covered?" This towel was not massive but it covered what needed to be covered. "Yes somewhat". Opening the door, I could not help myself from smiling as he looked at me. "hmm somewhat indeed. Here are the clothes you have ordered. I will wait outside then I think you need some rest". He walked out letting me change in private. I saw some toothpaste and used my finger as a toothbrush I know it will not do too much good but at least my breath was better. Samuel took me to what I presume is my room for the night. "Get some sleep love" I did not want to be alone. "What if she comes back in my sleep?" I needed him there. "Gran put Osha and Rue in our all our tea and she protected this house the moment you stepped in it. Nothing is going to hurt you I promise you that". I wonder if there is a herb to make Jamie not such a jerk. "Can you stay until I fall asleep? As much as I don't want to admit it you make me feel safe". He shut the door and moved on to the bed next to me. I turned my back and moved closer to him until my back was right up against his side. "Can I ask you something Samuel? Why do you want to help me? The truth please" he pulled me on my side so we were facing each other "why would I not? It is unfair that I know more about you than you know of me. What I do know of you Macy Pendragon? Is that you are kind, smart and just plain beautiful. Every time I intercepted your dreams was like heaven to me. I have had a few girlfriends and not one of them makes me feel the way I do when you are near me. Just having you near me makes me what to take on the world just to protect you. Even if you never wanted me, at least I could say you are safe. You're meant for great things regardless of you were witch or human, that's the truth". No one has ever said anything nice about me not as if that anyways I get strange or fidget. Alex is great but he just accepts my weirdness "what you're thinking Macy? I'm sorry if I freaked you out". Strangely enough, I was not freaked out. "I'm not freaked out at all Samuel. I feel blessed that you don't think I'm weird. Most men think I am weird other than Alex. Especially good looking men like you". His eyes were intense completely focused on me "good looking hey? Macy can I kiss you?" butterfly has started swelling in the pit of my stomach. I wanted his lips against mine but did not want to look too eager. "Yes".
