The Very Very Beginning

Chapter 3

I walked toward the laying bloody woman and picked her up.  Coridelia is yelling at me and telling me to put her down. She isn’t our responsibility.  Blah, blah, blah.  All the way to the cabin.  Holly and Kat are outside and they come running forward. Holly gestures to walk inside with the woman.  While I walk inside Coridelia is still yelling at me and Holly is telling her that I did what I was supposed to do as Jones/Williams, as well as telling her to suck it up.  Kat just frowns worrying if the woman will hurt me.

Holly is tending to the woman.  Kat and I are watching both, as for Cordelia, she is in her room.  It has been many hours since Holly has been tending to her.  Holly finally emerges and says, “She had many injuries.  She seems to be out of harm's way.  You did the right thing, Hannah.  Never doubt that.  Now, I’m going to get some rest.  See you in the morning.”  

Holly puts her hand on my shoulder and walks towards her room.  Kat turns away from the woman and nods towards me, kisses my cheek, walks to her room.  I walked towards the woman and I put my hand on her chest with my eyes closed.  I fell asleep with my hand to her chest with my head on her arm.

When I woke up Kat, Holly, and Coridelia were talking about me and the woman.  Holly says, “The woman is fully healed.”  Coridelia says, “How is that f*****g possible?  She was badly injured.  We all saw it.”  Kat says, “Hannah did it.  You have no faith in her.  It’s like you want nothing to do with Hannah.  What the hell, mother?  Don’t you care about anyone but yourself.”

Coridelia gasps and says, “How dare you talk to me like that?  I love Hannah.  I just don’t want her to be like I was and I’m trying to keep her from danger.”  Kat says, “You are not, you just don’t want someone more powerful than you.  You know that Hannah is more powerful than you and you are scared.”

Coridelia says, “Of course I’m scared.  But that isn’t the reason..”  Holly interrupts, “That’s enough.  We can have this conversation another time.  When we are ready to have it.  Now, Kat go to the kitchen and makes some breakfast for the guest and everyone else.  Coridelia tends to the garden.  I will go check on Hannah and our guest.”

They all go their separate ways.  I lift my head up and see the woman looking at me.  She says, “Thank you for saving me.  My name is Melissa Woods.”  I look at her and say, “You are welcome.  My name is Hannah Catherine Williams.”  Holly steps into the room and says, “Lovely to meet you, Melissa.  My name is Holly Jones.  Welcome to our home.  Before we discuss anything we shall eat some breakfast.”  Holly gestures to the right where the kitchen and dining room are.

Melissa got off the bed where she layed and walked toward the kitchen with Holly and I behind her.  Melissa sits in a chair at the table.  Kat comes out and says, “You are sitting in my seat.”  Holly says, “Allow it.  You can sit on Hannah’s other side.  I will just get another chair.”  With that a chair appeared out of thin air and Holly sat down.

Coridelia finally comes in and sits down.  I sat down and as soon as I sat down I made the food all appear.  We all begin eating.  After a while, Melissa is the first to break the silence, “Thank you for healing me and letting me eat here.”  Holly smiles and says, “It’s our pleasure.”  Coridelia scoffs and gets up.  Holly says, “You finished sister.”  She turns towards Holly and says, “I am retiring to my room.”

Coridelia then leaves swiftly out of the room.  Kat says, “She keeps doing that more frequently.  What’s her issue?”  Holly says, “Not now, Katherine.  I had enough of the arguments.  Now, Melissa.  If you are comfortable, I would like to ask you questions.”  Melissa says, “Of course.”  Holly says, “That’s good to hear.  Hannah, will you please do the dishes for us.”  I stood up and walked to the kitchen to make the dishes appear.  I swished my hand and all the dishes were cleaned and put away.

I was back before Holly could start her questions and she shook her head at me but let it slide.  Holly then begins her questions.  “How did you become all bloody and wounded?  Who did it to you?  Do you have anywhere to go?  Were you with those bloodthirsty creatures?”

Melissa gulps and says, “Well, let me say this.  I was a zombie till I saw Hannah and I came back to my normal self again.  I was craving brains and blood.  I was created by Maya and Dahlia dark witches.  They wanted to cause trouble to my village.  My whole village including my family and friends turned into zombies.  We traveled in a big group till a lot of us were slaughtered on the way here.  Till we reached the clearing by here.  Here I am, the only one that survived.”

Holly yells, “GOD DAMMIT.  WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT f*****g WOMAN.”  Melissa says, “What’s happening?”  Kat says, “Maya is Holly and Coridelia’s sister, the middle child of the Jones.  She left when Coridelia was born.  As well as, causing her parents and millions of people to burn to a crisp in the William’s Hospital.”

Coridelia says, “That f*****g b***h is still causing trouble.  I will kill that b***h.  Melissa is staying here.  She might be useful.”  Holly says, “You won’t kill anyone.  Melissa is not a f*****g toy.  She will stay if she wants to.  Now, you are going to hurt yourself.”  Coridelia says, “I’m dying anyways.  I might as well help.”  Kat says, “Mom, you’re dying.  How?”

Coridelia says, “Melissa, you are part of this family now.  You can stay and listen.  Hannah, it isn’t your fault.  The reason why I’m dying is because I wasn’t meant to live as long as I do.  I told Sol that I would wait till Hannah has become a full witch and more.  Hannah is slowly killing me, making me weaker and weaker.”  I have tears in my eyes.

By the time Coridelia was done talking she had tears in her eyes.  Holly says, “Coridelia, go rest.  I will see you in a little bit.”  Coridelia turns and leaves to go back to her room.  Holly comes up to me and says, “It’s not your fault.  It’s just her destiny.  Some destinies are shorter than the others.”  I ran out of her arms and into my room.

I’m thinking and looking up to the ceiling thinking why am I slowly killing my grandmother.  I looked at my feet just crying till Sol appeared and she said holding out a book, “Hannah, I would like to show you something.  I will leave while you look at it.  When you are ready of course.”

I didn’t grab the book so Sol set it on the table across the room from me and disappeared.  After a while, I got up and walked to the table.  I took the book and sat on the floor.  The book cover said, “The Destiny Of Coridelia Catherine Jones/Williams.”  Then in bold letters it writes, “Only those with the power can read destiny books/touch these books.”  What does this mean?  Am I the only one that can read these books?

 I opened the book and it said: Hello, Dear.  If you finally opened this book.  It means that you finally understand that everyone has a destiny.  Now, you are the only one that can read and see these books.  Not even the gods up here can read it.  That is special.  I can’t even read it.  Though I can write in it.  You will know the past, present, and future.  I can only see the past and kind of the present.  Anyways, read your grandmother's history.  She has accomplished many things.  You don’t have to feel like you are killing her but that you have given her a purpose.  Happy readings, my darling Hannah.   Your many great grandmother/Queen of the Gods and Goddess……
