1257 Words
Sarah POV: Its been few weeks since the incident with out aunt Leena. Since then Mom and dad has keeping a close watch on me. My brothers follow where ever I go. They were strictly instructed by our father to act as my body guards. It took a lot of convincing to make them understand my situation. Flashback "Michel , this is absurd !!! Can you both please stop following me everywhere ? You guys even barge into my bedroom. There should be some respect to the word 'PRIVACY'. Just let me be" I yelled at him. "No can do. Its dads order we are simply following his instructions" Magnus shrugged. "Sar. Listen. We are only here you protect you. You heard what aunt Leena said. More dark energy will be drawn towards your strong personality. If somebody can get hold of you and use your power for their selfish reason, The world may come to end as we know. Try and understand that we are doing this so you can live a happy life not being captured and used by some shithead who is hungry for power" Micheal the more sensible one explained. I could see the pain in his eyes as he said this. He knows that i dont like being confined or watched all the time and its hurting him to do it. "Yes that is all there , but this forest , our home is all enchanted for godesses sake!!! No one with such desires can enter. why dont you guys understand such basic thing" I argued. "Even then we should be cautious all the time" Michel responded. I sighed thinking these hard heads wouldn't get it. Just then an idea stuck. "Mom also told me not to reveal my powers to anyone. If I am confined to my bedroom or if you gys follow me everywhere I go, Don't you think other member of the forest start suspecting? And that is when the news spreads like a Whild fire!" I pointed my fingers at them This got them thinking. "Only solution is to live how we did all these years and not tell out little secret to anyone." I mentioned calmly. After a few moments Micheal agreed with me. "Yes you are right. People will get suspicious and as you rightly mentioned, this forest is enchanted. I will talk to mom and dad if and only if you promise to not step outside the forest or go near boarders. And one more thing no mention anything about your powers even to your friends" I eagerly nodded and hugged him. He hugged me back. And soon I ran out side to meet my friends to spend my time with them. "Wait Sarah! Don’t be in a hurry. We haven’t talked to mum and dad" Michel Shouted. "I know you will take care of it for me brother" I shouted back. Magnus chuckled " Be ready to face dad, Brother" Present Day It’s been a routine since the arrangement that I made with my brothers. I usually sharpen my water skills in our basement so that I won’t be exposed. I have been perfecting healing abilities on trees and also on my brothers when ever they are wounded from training. I have gotten a lot better at it. Leena Sent a scroll on turning water into ice by blowing cold air and giving it a shape. So far, I have been practicing. With respect to other aspects of water training, I haven’t heard back from her yet. I Hope everything is fine back at the Coven. Then there is normal training with dad and rest of the pack members. I am not giving my hundred percent as I don’t want to the centre of everyone’s gossip and spreading the new about my strengths. So instead of extra training that i used to to do near the lake, I spend time with my friends Amy and Pheobe swimming and having our girls time. Its our normal routine to meet in the meadows, if we are not training, just few feet away from my favourite lake. As I approached the clearing, I found two of my best friends already chatting happily. As the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the soft murmur of conversation, creating a cozy atmosphere that enveloped us trio in warmth and familiarity. I sat with them and sipped their drinks and nibbled on delicate pastries, the topic of conversation inevitably turned to the elusive realm of romance. As I was thinking about the one, with my sparkling eyes and infectious laughter, I started the subject. "You know, girls," I began, my voice tinged with excitement, "I've been thinking lately about the kind of guy I'd like to meet. Someone who's not just good-looking, but also kind, strong, and protective. A real gentleman, you know?" Phoebe, the quiet and introspective one of the group, nodded thoughtfully. "I agree, Sarah. It's important to find someone who not only sweeps you off your feet with their charm but also has a good heart and a strong character. I believe that true love is built on a foundation of mutual respect and understanding." Amy, the vivacious and adventurous spirit of the trio, chimed in with a mischievous twinkle in her eye. "Well, I don't know about you two, but I'm hoping to meet a guy who's not just good and kind but also a bit of a daredevil. Someone who's into sports, maybe even an athlete! Imagine the thrill of being with someone who can keep up with my energy and zest for life." "I imagine him approaching me with a bouquet of flowers, his eyes filled with admiration and his words sincere." I said. "That sounds lovely, Sarah. For me, it's not just about looks; I want someone who respects my ambitions and values. I dream of a supportive partner who encourages me to be my best self." Pheobe commented. "You are a big old softie. But me, I would like to evaluate his fighting skill. I imagine meeting him on a training ground , sweating out, flexing all his muscles. I envision a Mate who shares my love for adventure and exploration. Someone who challenges me" Amy commented. "I can't help but imagine our first meet, filled with laughter and shared interests. I want a deep connection with someone who truly understands me." I followed up. "Oh I almost forgot, Your 18th birthday is almost approaching. Soon after that you can find your mate" Pheobe said. "Yes in two weeks’ time I will be 18 and will be able to scent him." "I hope all out mates are from out pack. I would hate to separate from you guys" Amy stated. "Aww Look ! Now who is being a softie? huh?" I teased her. "Look Sarah! Amy is blushing. This is a first." Phoebe Said. And the banter continued. Unknown POV: As the conversation flowed, each girl painted a vivid picture of her ideal partner, weaving together a tapestry of hopes, dreams, and desires. They laughed and teased each other, sharing stories of past crushes and romantic escapades. The meadow buzzed with their infectious energy, drawing curious glances from other pack members slightly nearby who were hunting could over hear the conversation due to their enhanced hearing, who couldn't help but be captivated by the bond shared by these three friends. "I hope Sarah finds her Man soon, Then the next chapter opens. The Wheel of time starts spinning and the game begins."
