The witch and the wolf

ch6

I woke up this morning feeling refreshed and to the smell of bacon.

I stretched in my bed and got up and walked to the kitchen to find my mom cooking breakfast this morning.

"Good morning sweetie, how was your sleep? You slept a long time."

I did? I don't even remember going to sleep, what day is it?

"Yeah it's was a long Friday haha."

"You slept all day Saturday as well sweetie, it's Sunday so eat your food and go get ready for your test, it's in a hour."

.... Sunday? I do not remember.

"Hurry up before your food gets cold Jazmine!"

She seems nicer than usual this morning...what the hell is going on?

"Thank you for the food mom..." I take a seat and dig in to my food, I felt like I was starving mist have been because I didn't eat Saturday. She smiles at me and went to cleaning the dishes, after I get done eating I go to my room and take a quick shower. I put on a white shirt with a black cardigan and jean shorts and grab my slip ons. I put on some mascara and lipgloss and throw my hair up in a bun.

"It's time to go!" My mom shouts. I take one last look at myself in the mirror to pepe myself up, I can do this! But I feel like I'm missing something important....I've I had this feeling all morning.

We arrive at the covens building, my mom goes in with the other council members in to the room while I wait with the others, Cody, Lori, Ty, and Manny. They all look like nervous except for Manny, he looks like he doesn't want to be here.

"Oh great we thought you weren't going to show up." Lorie said sarcastically, I roll my eyes at her.

I stayed quiet and Manny patted the spot next to me, we all sat in silence for 30 minutes and all I could think about was what was I missing, I don't remember anything since Friday and my mom was being to nice, even our car ride here she was making small talk and giving me tips for today, it was odd.

"Alright children let's start the evaluation test, we wish you all the luck." Manny's dad comes out and snaps me out of thoughts. They look alike, both tan and brown eyes and black curly hair. He calls in Cody first, about 15 minutes pass and Cody walks out with a smirk, next is Ty and then Lori and next Manny and finally me.

I walk past the others as they wait for me finish or fail.

"I know you can do this Jazmine." Manny says to me, I walk in to the next room. I see all of the council members sitting high above me surrounding me, feeling them literally judging me! My mom smiles down at me creepily, why does that look familiar?

"Began!" They all say in unison.

For beginners they have to say the enchantment and use their hands, when they are in the next level they just chant or say the spell but when they are advance they can just use their mind, depending on the spell I'm in between secondary and advanced level.

I use one hand in the air pointed directly in the air with 2 fingers crossed and bring it down quick making lighting come from the roof and hitting the ground, next I get on my knees and touch the scorched ground and frown a medium size tree and slowly start to burn the sides but containing it before it spreads to the rest of the tree, my head is throbbing! I burn the rest of the tree and wave my hand over the scorched area to reveal the marks are gone. I take a few steps back back until I'm in the center of the room and look upwards feeling light as a feather and levitate myself off the ground until I'm higher than the council and gently put myself back down.

"That was okay, let's start the trial now." Cody's mom voices unimpressed with my performance. The gaurs nods and walks into a different and comes back out with a vampire.

"She has not fed in weeks and we bleed her out now you must defend yourself, release her." Cody's mom, Vera spoke again and the gaurs did as told. The vampire runs at and I quickly throw a hund up crushing my fist making her neck snap. That was easy, I bow to the council waiting for the next part of the trial.

"No it will not be that easy you will have to kill your opponents." Vera stated with a smirk, she really doesn't like me. But I didn't understand what she meant until I heard groaning. I look over at the vampire as she starts to get up, she's furious and hungrier. S*it.

"I didn't plan on killing anyone." I tell them hoping they do not make me take anyone's life!

Vera waved her hand as if she didn't care what I had to say but I saw that last second smirk she had before she composed herself, did the other's have to do this?

I ready myself for the attack, she runs at me full force and all I could see was a blur and in a instant she had me by the throat chocking me, I try to move her hands but she's to strong. I look up to my mom she had her eyes closed. I chanel the fear I'm feeling in to my hands and radiate heat of them until they are burning her skin and she drops me. I gasp for air but I know I have to be ready for her next incoming attack. I put my hands in the ground and turn the ground the vampire is standing on in to quick sand so she can't move from that spot. After that I put my hands in to fists and put them together with my eyes closed, I can hear her struggling trying to move, I rip my fists apart making her head rip from her body. I tried to make it quick and painless on her, I felt bad.

"Now what!" I scream at them feeling horrible, my mom looks relieved, she could have warned me about what was going to happen, she doesn't get to be relieved!

Vera told them to bring in the next one, it was a guy with a black hood over his face, the guard pulls it off. This guy shifts in to a wolf and lunges at me, he didn't look like he wast starved or beaten, no they wanted him at full strength to face me, they only did that to the vampire girl because they will do irrationally things to get blood.

I run to the side as fast as I could towards the wall with the wolf to close behind me, I use the energy U have and run up the wall doing a flip and landing behind the wolf, and I take off running again trying to put distance in between us, I use my hand to pull the desk that sits in front of the council and use it shield myself from the wolf just like Eli did at school...Eli? My starts throbbing again but even worse now, someone's been messing with my memories! And I know who.

The guy grabs the desk and throws it with me still holding on to it, that gave me all the distance I needed. I run at home full force before he could even blink and thrust my hand in to his chest and rip out his heart. I throw it at the council who all had a shocking expression and of course except my mom she had a smile and it disgusted me.

"Are f*cking happy now! I shouldn't have had to kill anyone!"

"This was necessary and you passes with flying colors, all the others had to do this as well and none of them felt bad for it." Lories dad Mike said with a normal tone. They all got up and clapped their hands, praising me for how I handled all of this.

"Congratulations Jazmine you will be the leader of the next generation, you should feel proud of yourself young lady." My mom voices, I'm beyond angry with her.

"Actually I will not! I refuse the position! U refuse to be in this coven!"

"That's not how this works sweetheart and you will do as your told!" My mom bellowed out to me. I smirked at her at the all, I refuse to be apart of this.

"I Jazmine Jade Heart disown the Knight coven and all of the links that bind me to the coven." I say, I could hear the spirits whispering all around me and felt the covens connection to me break. I didn't feel pain, I felt relief but the council members all look angry as they lifted their hands in unison at me. I wave my hand at them pushing them all against the wall behind them and walk out but I could hear them calling me a traitor and that I will burn.

The others where still here waiting, Cody and Ty and Lorie spat at my shoes as a sign if disrespect but I didn't care.

"Well that was interesting." Came Manny's voice as I walked past him. I stop and turn to face them.

"You are all just as pathetic as your parents!" I started walking again out of the building, I start running in a straight direction anywhere but here. I can't believe what I did to them the vampire girl and the wolf guy I feel horrible about taking their lives, it shouldn't have happened and my mom knew what was going to happen and she didn't tell me anything! She also messes with my memories like she did when dad passed away!

Lost in my thoughts again I time walked into the woods again but this place looks familiar, I try to remember but I can't, I can't take the pain in my head. I break to my knees screaming in pain feeling like my head is going to explode. I didn't even noticed someone was coming over to me, they get down to me and put hand on me making me feel this rush of jolts going through my back working it's way through my body. That feeling it's Eli. The pain goes away as memories starts coming back to me from this past weekend, me being here and being at Eli's house and Danny being at my house hurting my mom and Eli showing up to my rescue and waking up to the conversation my mom and Eli had and how I felt my heart breaking. And how my dad died....she did it! My mom and Vera and Mike and Manny's dad Cole and Ty's mom Beth! They all played a hand in my father's death!

"Jazmine?"
