The Council Festival
It was a beautiful Sunday Emberlee sitting in the backseat of the Red Honda Civic. Top 100 blasting out the radio. Front seats occupied by her father driving. Sitting passenger is Isis Emberlee's Mom.
Samuel was smiling and singing along with the radio. He is a tall slender man with broad shoulders. Light brown complexion dark beautiful shaped eyes. Eyebrows on point his bearded mustache carried some white hairs in it.
Isis, Emberlee's Mom was a beautiful woman small build weighing only 140 pounds. Long curly auburn hair, light skin with hazel eyes. Full lashes, high cheekbones. She always wore a purple moonstone on her necklace.
Emberlee leaning forward in the car asked her mother, "Mom are we almost there?"
"Are you going to ask every 20 minutes?" asked Isis.
"Ugh I'm so just so excited to finally meet your friends said Emberlee. "Why did it take 10 years to meet them?" she asked as she crossed her arms. "This wouldn't have anything to do with those weird notes that would foat into your hands back at home?"
Samuel looked over to his wife and let our a heavy sigh. Isis put her head down. Then the three of them entered into a portal and Emberlee looked out the window with excitement.
Emberlee's POV
I couldn't believe my eyes. First off what was that feeling when we entered into the parking lot. I see an open field with about 40 tents. One huge tent in the middle. They are all so beautiful in different in vibrant colors. What is catching my eye is what the people are doing. Am I imagining this or is that man moving the wind with his hands? Flowers were dancing making children laugh. A women transformed into a Fox and back into human.
My little brain can't comprehend this all at once. I rubbed my eyes and looked back to my parents. I have so many questions for them.
"Now that we made it safely there is much to discuss" Isis said to Emberlee, "Emberlee what your seeing is real. What you felt as we entered in the parking lot was a protection spell. We are here because your showing signs of powers at an early age"
"Honey let's find our tent first and then we can talk inside" Sam began to look more and more stressed. He pulled into the chalked parking space that had a floating sign Dubois Family. Sam parked turned the car off. "Em this trip is more than a family vacation. Things will be discussed and they may not make sense right away. But you can't be a baby ok. Be a big smart girl." he hugs her " Be smart on your feet and I'll always love you."
I nodded my head I had so many questions, but seeing my dad stressful face I just held my tongue. My dad often said I was smart for my age. I was as he said quite in tuned. I wonder if he's acting this way because my older sister died when I was born. She died in her sleep from an asthma attack.
Isis stepped out the car and opened up Emberlee's door to help her out. The most amazing smells hit my nose. A combination of of popcorn and cotton candy mashed perfectly together. I reach for my suitcase and follow Mom.
"Emberlee come here please" Isis called to her daughter as they made their way to a purple tent. "This is us,those are paintings of our spirit animal. You gain a spirit animal when your witch side is activated." she heard me gasp. "Yes Em your not only a witch." then she chuckles nervously.
At this point my mouth has completely dropped open. My mom has to be joking right.
