The Dream Of Dark
1155 Words
This morning I was feeling a little special. I don't know why, But it felt nothing like old birthday vibes. I felt strong and confident and happy. And then aunt Nevlin and Shany entered my room destroying my whole mood.
Shany smiled wickedly and told her mom-" Look who is celebrating her birthday mom"
Aunt Nevlin looked at us with a hated face, she replied-" I can very see that"
She threw my cake away.
She said-" People like you are born to work, not to waste their time by celebrating birthdays"
for the first time, mom became angry at the act and she speaks up" Stop it Nevlin, It's her birthday, she is just a 17-year-old child."
Aunt Nevlin looked furious and replied-" How dare you? You should be thankful, we let you stay here, you stupid lady"
That was enough for me, and I replied raising my voice-" That's enough aunt Nevlin, stop insulting my mother, or else..." I stared hard at her and then suddenly, to the surprise, the room is filled with strong air, and the lights went out. I was surprised, I was feeling strong and powerful. Then mom came to me and brought me back to reality. Aunt Nevline and Shany were scared of my action and jumped towards Uncle Tom. But Uncle Tom and Mom do not seem much shocked about what just happened as if they knew that this is exactly what is going to happen.
Mom said-" Shawna, stop"
I replied in confusion-" What happened?"
She looked very tensed and she replied-" No... Nothing, dear nothing, just don't think about it okay?" She looked at Uncle Tom and whispered -" I guess it's happening"
I asked-" What's happening?"
She replied-" I said nothing, Go, have your work done okay?"
Aunt Nevlin looked at me with a scarred face and replied-" A born devil she is"
Uncle Tom hushed them with a tone-" Nevlin, That's enough. Let's go"
Everyone left from there, I guess everyone is in a shocking state of what just happened nobody spoke any further words. But I knew she was hiding something from me. At night, when I slept today, I saw a dream, It was weird.
I heard a voice whispering-" Parshawna Macduff, You are the true heir. You are the one I was searching for. I am yours. You are my destiny. Come take me, I am waiting for 1000 years" Then I saw a dark room I was standing in and from far I can see something shining, I went closer and I saw a sparkling Golden stick flying in the air. It was shining bright, but suddenly the room grows darker and a hand appeared in front of me, it was trying to get that stick. but it disappeared and there was a loud cry of a lady. And I woke up in a panic.
I told mom about it, but mom reacts very strangely to it, she said-" Don't think about this anymore okay? forget this"
I replied-" No mom, it was scary and kind of real"
She hugs me and smiled-" Don't worry everything will be alright okay?"
We went back to sleep. Mom's words gave me a little courage. This gave me strength. And I went back to sleep. But I guess, that was the last time I slept beside my mom. The very next morning, we found her dead. She was having flu for days, and she was working without any rest or food, which cause her immunity to go really weak and she couldn't make it anymore.
The doctor came and gave us the news that she is no more. I couldn't control myself, I looked at Aunt Nevlin and accused her in front of the doctor-" She is the one who killed my mom. She is the reason."
Aunt Nevlin looked at me with a pin face and replied-" I knew that I am feeding a worthless person, but you turned out not to be just that, but also a dishonest and liar."
I replied with a rage-" I did not lie. You killed my mom, Don't you remember, from the past few days we told you, my mom is not well, We need a doctor, but you... you denied. Look You killed my mom. Tell me what have we done to you? We listen to everything you tell us to do, then why? Why do you treat us like that? I had only my mom, you took her away from me. I will never forgive you"
Uncle Tom holds me while I fell crying beside my mom's body.
I cried all day but attended my mom's funeral. I used to sit back in my room and cry looking at her picture. I wished she was still there.
"After you have been gone, I was all alone
Nobody thinks about me, Nobody thinks at all.
I know I am going to fall, till the end alone,
If you were with me, I could have done it all.
But now, everything in vain, You don't call out my name
I wish you could come back, in my life again"
It Passed one month, I was all alone, scared, cried most of the time, and was having the same dream every night. I decided to speak with Uncle Tom, he heard everything and handed me over a letter, which was from my mom,
Uncle Tom- " Here, she asked me to hand this over to you when it is time. And it is time now"
I replied-" What is this?"
Uncle Tom replied-" You will see"
I took it back to my room and opened it.
It was written:
Dear Parshawna,
If you are reading this, I guess it's time we talk about you. I know what are you thinking of, but it's finally time to tell you the truth about yourself. You are not any ordinary Girl, You are a Witch.
I guess you are understanding what I want to say, the powers you are having, it's not just a gift, you have inherited it from your father. Your father is not dead, He is a wizard and the king of the Wizard Dynasty. You are his only daughter. When you have born, he had to go back to his palace, as there was a war going on, He left and never came back. But he did love us, you. I kept it away from you for the reason, I thought you could have a normal life, unlike your father. But now, you belong with them. But know always, I have loved you. Now you should contact your father. Just in the full moonlight, facing towards the moon, Say the word ' Equimenous wizarda ' You will find help.
Farewell, my love. Live great. I will always miss you.
Your Mom.
This letter has changed my life. I am a what? Witch? That's Impossible.
