The Powerful Warlock

Witchcraft

Four years have passed and today was Selene's first witchcraft class, she was wandering by her room reading a fantasy book while waiting by the headmaster to arrive. Her room wasn't small but it wasn't big either, the floor and walls were made of woods just like the entire house, there was a small iron bed in the middle of the room, a wardrobe next to the window and a bookshelf next to the door, and in the right corner of the room there was a rocking chair with a towel thrown over it. 

When the headmaster arrived she said: 

- Good morning, Selene. Shall we begin the class? 

- Yes, headmaster. - answered selene still reading the book.

- Selene, you know you can call me Elodie. - said the headmaster taking the book of Selene's hands and putting it back at the shelf. 

- Of course, Ms. Elodie. What are you going to teach me today? - asked Selene with curious eyes like a cat. Ms. Elodie looked at Selene and laughed of her curiosity. 

- Today, I'm going to teach you witchcraft! These past two years I taught you how to read, how to write and how to interpretate. Now, you are going to learn how to do magic and study magic. 

 Ms. Elodie and Selene studied till the lunch hour. Selene went down the stairs and she was on the second floor and then went down another stair and she was on the first floor. She smelled the air to see if she could recognize the aroma, and she did. It was tomato soup. Selene walked to the dinning room and sat down with the other children. She wasn't very popular among the children of the orphanage , they thought she was a freak because of an inciddent that happened last year. - she was playing in the garden next to a tree that she could see through her bedroom window, when a blonde girl of her age threw a paper on her, she opened the paper and saw a draw of a girl with black hair sinking on a lake. The blonde girl named Dahlia laughed of her with her friends and started to throw litlle rocks on her, one hit Selene on the head and it started bleeding, the girls just laughed even more of her, that was when she lost her patience and looked at the girls with anger and a cloud of ravens attacked them, Dahlia and her group ran to the house calling Selene of "freak".  The cloud of ravens vanished and one lonely raven landed on Selene's shoulder, she smiled at the raven, and since then it follows her and protects her from the others. - She took the spoon and dove it in the tomato soup and brought to her lips,  the soup tasted good as always, she smiled. When she looked up, the other children were looking at her with a strange gaze and whispering.

- Don't care about them, they are stupid. - said a red haired girl sitting next to her. - I'm Audrey, by the way. 

- Hi, I'm Selene. - Answered selene timidly while sipping the soup. 

- You're not a talker, are you? It's okay, I'm like this too, I don't like to talk too much. - said Audrey taking the spoon and tasting the soup. Selene looked at her with a surprised stare. - this soup is really good, right? but Dahlia and her friends looks disgusted by the soup, or it's just their face. - completed Audrey looking at Dahlia and her group, Selene looked at them as well and laughed with her. 

 It was nine p.m. when Selene finished her bath and was walking back to her room, but in the path she heard a strange noise coming from the a room in the end of the hallway, it was really dark and the floor creaked, she walked slowly till arrive in front of the old door, she tried to open it but it was locked, then she decided to look through the doorknob, she didn't see anything, but when she was giving up, she saw two purple eyes looking back at her, she quickly moved away from the doorknob and when she turned she came face to face with Ms. Elodie. 

- What are you doing sneaking on the hallway this time, Selene? Go back to your bedroom, now! - said furiously Ms. Elodie, staring at her. Selene ran back to her bedroom and locked the door fearfully.
