The Witches' War

Magic Accident

Writer?️

Tamara laid on her bed, looking up to the ceiling

If she wasn't a daughter of a witch, one would have assumed she wasn't a witch

She never felt the need to explore her abilities

She wasn't categorized under any witch level irrespective of the fact that she spent many years in witch school

Her pearl emitted an effulgent glow which meant only one thing 'danger'

And as expected all witches were to assemble immediately their pearl emitted this colour

She held the pearl close to her chest and off she went

Different words were flying in the air but still no one had not even the slightest clue about what had happened

Everyone swallowed their words immediately the head witch came into view on the stage

"Greetings to you all. I believe you all received the danger signal on your pearls. Well, it seems the future of the witches lies at stake. One of the grand witches guiding the emerald was found dead some hours ago. We have tried all we could to trace the killer, but it all seems to point at nothing. Such untraceable act can only be done by a witch with great power but not only that we sensed dark magic too" She said the last part in anguish

"Whoever did that wants the emerald and we can't let him or her get it. You all will have to take your training seriously. We don't know what the enemy has in mind. We don't want history to repeat itself again". She said and turned to leave with the rest of the council

There wasn't any classes for the day because of the heat of this tradgedy

Tamara's prayers were answered but after today it was very obvious missing classes won't be a worthy prayer point

Tamara?️

Ever since the tradgedic news was announced, my parents seldom stayed at home.

Well they where actually somewhere tracking down the genesis of the problem

Security around the house was tightened

I actually had men all around monitoring my every move

"Your test scores were really displeasing"

Miss Charlotte said while handing us our test scripts

"But one of you really made me proud" She said when she got to my desk

"Tamara got the highest in the test as usual. Don't you all think you're not competitive enough for her to keep on beating a whole class in almost every maths test" She scolded while turning to the class

I turned to my side to meet the glares of Queen B (Nora) and her squad.

Sometimes I wonder if i had offended her in my past life for me to get such hatred from her

As i walked out of Miss Charlotte's office after helping her with some paper work i bumped into Fred

"Sorry" I muttered without even looking up

"Get new glasses, seems this one has aged" Nora mocked

Well, am not surprised to hear her speak.

She is soo obsessed with Fred that she wouldn't let him be

"Sorry, i wasn't looking"

Wait!

Did Fred just apologize

I quickly walked away not knowing what to say

My adrenaline was at it's peak after that.

I walked up to my locker and was about opening it

Surprisingly it opened on its own

I don't practice magic so how did that happen

I tried taking my book but suddenly my hand emitted a bright light

I rushed to the janitor's closet immediately to avoid suspicion

What is happening?

Tamara couldn't attend classes because she couldn't control whatever was happening to her. She tried as much as possible to stop the bright light but she couldn't

She wished the bell could go off immediately so that she'll go home and figure out what was happening to her

Immediately the bell went off she was about exiting the janitor's closet but she was drawn back by a mighty force and landed directly on her bed

"Mom! , Dad!" She screamed rushing out of her room

"Woah, Tammy when did you get home" Ian, her gray witch brother questioned

"Are mum and dad home?" She asked entering into his room

"Is there a problem Tammy"

"I don't know what's happening to me" Tamara replied at the brim of tears

Ian sat her down on the bed and cuddled her

"It's alright Tammy, you can talk to me" He consoled patting her back

Tamara narrated the whole incident to her brother who kept on looking at her in disbelief

"I am not lying Ian, am very scared. It's uncontrollable" She sobbed

"So you're telling me you teleported!. That spell can only be done by trained witches. Most witches fly with the aid of brooms but not all teleports, only grand witches can do that. Tammy you're not even trained" Ian said looking as confused as ever

"I'll teach you some simple spells. Maybe we can figure something out from there" He said and quickly rushed to his shelf to get a spell book

They went through the door that lead to their own witches' training field. This field is present in the house of witches that live in the human world. It can't be seen by the human eye. It is where witches practice spells without disturbing the human world

"Spells doesn't work just because we say them, we have to put in our hearts for it to work." Ian tutored

He placed the spell book in front of her alongside a candle and instructed her to light fire on the candle

Tamara recited the spell as stated by the book, turning her hands over the candle as instructed but nothing happened

She tried it over and over again but still nothing happened

"You're forcing it Tammy. Breath, put your mind to it" Ian encouraged

Tamara tried it but nothing still happened.

Feeling disappointed she said it with rage and the spell book caught fire instead

She looked at Ian apologetically

"Don't worry it's just a note. I can get another one any time" Ian replied with a bewildered look

"Tammy, you need to learn to put your powers to use. It has been caged for a long time and now it wants to be let out. If you don't control it you may raise suspicions from these humans and may even end up in one of their labs. I haven't seen a baby witch do this before" He added.

"Ian please until I am able to figure this out don't tell anyone please

"Even Kevin"

"He's also my brother so he's an exception. But don't tell Dad and Mom" She pleaded

"Under the condition that we'll keep on training. Your powers need to be in check. You can't even control them"

"Ok that's a deal" She concurred

Tamara stood up but she couldn't feel the ground. She looked down at her feet and realized that she was hanging, on the air!

She swayed vigorously in different directions screaming for help

"Tammy hold still" Ian shouted

"I can't " She replied quivering

Just immediately kevin entered the field and stood with his mouth agape staring at the scene in front of him

"Hold still and envision yourself on the ground" Ian shouted running after his flying sister

Tamara managed to stay still and slowly she got back on her feet

She stood up panting heavily and Ian rushed to her holding her by her hand. They turned towards the door to meet Kevin standing in total bewilderment

"What are you?" He asked
