Spell Upon My Mates

Mr. Spear ?

About 40 years ago.

I was six years old collecting apples from the trees outside our territory without my pack knowing where I'm.

I kept looking around me, afraid to be seen by my older brothers and sisters ripe the apples using my magic.

I touched one of the apples and it started to rot immediately. I freaked out trying to make it healthy again but it was too late.

" You look like a scared cat, not a werewolf to be honest. "

I gasped as a man appeared sitting on the tree looking down at me.

" It's okay if one of the apples is rotten, nobody is perfect. "

His eyes were blue like the ocean, his hair was blonde-brown.

" It was healthy before I touched it. "

I informed him, as I was taken aback by how beautiful he was.

" You look like an angel. "

He was waving his legs and eating an apple that I had just tried to collect.

" You flatter me, you look like, well, a hybrid. "

The man annoyingly said, throwing the apple behind him.

" Because I am. "

" Are you allowed to be this far from home? "

He asked me as he kept helping me cut the apples with a big spear he was holding, throwing them in my basket.

" Y, yeah, well, no but... "

My parents will kill me if they find out I'm outside but...

" I have no choice, my brothers and sisters keep looking at me weirdly. "

I clenched my hands as I was looking at the ground, the man jumped on the ground and I felt his tall presence in front of me.

" Because you're not normal, am I right? Do they hate you? "

He was circling me. I felt the tears but I wiped them.

" No, they love me, I'm the youngest, they play with me a lot and bring me treats, but I'm not allowed to use magic around them. "

" They play with you because they are afraid of you, you're the youngest but your birth caused your mother's infertility. She has been hospitalized for two years. "

The man was looking at me saying this as if he was judging me.

" I suppose you don't fully understand me, you're six years old after all. Perhaps your family lied to you about you being a Jinx to all of them. Poor child. "

He patted my head and I felt a moment of electricity along my spine.

He wasn't afraid to approach me or to pat my head.

I placed my hands above my hair, looking at him with tears in my eyes.

" Who are you? "

I waited for an answer but the man rested his jaw on his spear with a faint smile.

" What is your dream when you get older? I guess you never shared it with anyone. Any evil plans for destroying the world? Ruling it? "

" What? I'm just a kid, I dreamed about stealing a candy shop once if that's what you mean by evil. "

He laughed for the first time. I was flustered and also worried about the idea he had come from nowhere and he was holding a big dangerous weapon.

And in a moment of silence, I confessed my true dream.

" I want to open a school for other spellcasters like me and my father. "

I smiled, as I was thinking of teaching other kids how to use magic without anyone judging them or being scared of them.

" Can I call you Mr. Spear? "

I cheered as I was jumping, Mr. Spear was silent for a while but he sighed.

" My name is Michael, but call me whatever you want. What do you know about spells anyway? You're a child. "

Michael is such a unique name.

" You don't know this but... "

I got closer to him as he bent his knees slightly so I could whisper in his ear.

" Someone is teaching me spells in my sleep. I train to use them in my dreams and I can do a lot of things easily because of them. "

I looked around me so no one but Michael listened.

" This is actually my first time telling anyone this secret, promise me to keep it. "

I pointed my finger and Micheal seemed troubled as he got on his feet again.

" taught you, Spells, like what? "

He was serious all of a sudden, clenching his hand on the spear.

" Aging spell, immortality spell, healing, growing plants, I also wash the dishes without washing them, you know what I mean. "

I smiled, grateful I have such unique powers. However, Michael didn't smile.

" What else he taught you? "

I feel bad all of a sudden.

" I'm not in trouble, am I? I never hurt anyone. "

I said, trying to get back, but he held my arm angrily yelling.

" ANSWER ME! "

" DEPEN!! "

I touched his chest and he fell on his knees groaning in pain, still holding onto my arm.

I saw his face twitching in pain now, I didn't mean for it to be this intense, but I'm terrified.

" Let go of my arm! "

I yelled at him, scared as he looked into my eyes. I saw something similar happen.

Or will it happen?

" Raily... "

I mumbled the name I had no idea who belonged to and, in a moment of distraction, Michael sent me flying with one punch in my face.

" Ugh, blood. "

I spit on the ground, I couldn't see very well, I was healing my face as suddenly I was lifted from my dress.

" Listen here little minx, I don't have time for your child's play. If I'm being serious, you will be dead by now. "

" Enough with the threats! I told you my secret! I thought you were a good person. "

" You thought wrong, I'm here to know about your little plan with the big devil and, perhaps, I will give you a painless death. "

Michael threw me on the ground. His Spear's Blade is under my nose.

" What devil? "

I'm confused.

" The man from your dreams, what else he taught you, speak. "

I held the spear's blade with my hands, trying to melt it with my strongest spell.

Fire.

My whole arms are fired up as I stare deadly at Micheal.

" Theodore is the kindest person I ever met. He taught me, loved me, and treated me like his own daughter. Who are you to call him a devil? "

................................

I snapped from the sudden memory I just remembered as I was still holding Micheal's spear, feeling the blood dripping from my back and my palms.

" You're destruction to this universe. Then and even now, humans will be better without you, so bring peace to the world and die! "

Michael yelled as he is pushing the spear with more power and the blade is piercing through my skin.

" I'm doing this for the greater good. Cooperate with me! "

" Tell me then! What the heck did I do? Why I'm cursed? Tell me why you want me dead. WHY don't I REMEMBER MOST OF MY LIFE? "

I screamed as I felt powerful enough to walk some steps toward him.

I need this spear, it helps me remember.

I can read Michael's memories, unlike Rohan.

Michael clenched his teeth looking into my eyes, trying to keep his hands on the spear as he sensed I was trying to snatch it from him.

" Goodnight Mr. Spear! "

I said, kicking him with all my might as he flew away rolling on the grass.

I held the spear in my hands, breathing deeply, looking at the moon before shutting my eyes, feeling the air-breathing through my hair.

Please help me remember a thing, anything.

Why did I say Theodore is a good person?

Is he the one who taught me magic? What about my father? Are my memories fake?

" Hahaha, Mr. Spear? You called me that in our first battle, before my spear made a big hole in your stomach, of course, Theodore jumped me and had to destroy my physical form, I couldn't find a near body to end him quickly, and he gave you piece of his soul to heal you. "

I listened to Michael as I was heading towards him, raising the spear high.

" Why don't I remember that? "

Michael grinned as he was crawling to sit by a tree, his body filled with many severe wounds.

Raily's body is ruined, which made my skin boil with anger.

" Who knows? He wanted you to have a normal childhood. I suppose killing you at a young age was stupid of me, but I had to do it, you cast a killing curse upon me. "

" You're lying! My dad never taught me any evil spells, only the important ones to defend myself and my pack. "

I laughed through my tears. I never noticed that I started crying.

" Your dad never taught you anything, to begin with, he was just a tool, a coward, a slave to Theodore. "

" SHUT UP!! "

I was about to stab him but looking at the way he stared at me.

Raily's eyes.

" Kill yourself while you still can, Alexandra, you don't wish to know how you were born or the rest of your memories. "
