the dark witch

chapter four, the truth comes out

“Well if you didn’t then how did you become a dark witch.” My mother yells.

“I don’t know maybe because like I told you years ago I am not a perfect angel and I do have a dark side but because of you I was forced to hide it.” I say my anger rising as I clench my fists.

“You are lying to yourself that’s not true and you should never think of lies.” My mother shouts.

“Maybe if you would have been a better mother then you would have seen this so much sooner.” I shout my anger rising and my hands have a black glow around them as I see my vision darken my eyes turning black.

“Wha….what… HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!” My mother shouts stepping closer to me.

“Leave me ALONE!” I say as I try and calm down. As I say this may mother is thrown out of the room and I am now slightly lifted off the ground the black glow forming all over my body.

The watcher is about to walk close to me when I hear my younger sisters voice. “Raven what have you done.” Sage says her voice filled with worry as she looks between me and our mother.

“I…I don’t…. Know.” I say as I lower onto the ground the glow stops and I look between them seeing sages eyes fill with tears.

“You lost control because you were never taught how to control any of this.” The watcher says with a calm voice. “That is what this place is for although not many witches powers are that strong the day after their sixteenth birthday.” The watcher says stepping closer and moving the dark hood that covered her face. “When is your birthday?” She asks stepping closer to me.

“The 8th why.” I say looking up at her.

“When were you supposed to be born.” She asks.

I stand up “the 8th to my knowledge.” I say a little confused.

She looks at my mother “when was she supposed to be born.”she asks with force in her voice.

“The 21st.” My mother groans as she gets up “she’s not special like you think she is I mean her sister was born on the 21st of December that’s winter solstice.” My mother says finally standing and brushing off the dust on her.

“What does the twenty first of June have to do with anything?” I ask looking at the watcher.

“The 21st of June and December are summer and winter solistice when someone is born on that day they are meant to have the strongest connection with the powers we are gifte from nature.” The watcher stops and looks at my mother. “Why wasn’t she born on the 21st?” She asks.

“It was a forced birth I didn’t need my first child to think she was special.” My mother says stumbling into my room.

“So you lied to her and forced her to be born two weeks before she was supposed to be just so you can say she isn’t special.” The watcher says.

“Yes what’s wrong with that your mother did it to you Rowan.” My mother says glaring at the watcher.

“Indeed she did and yet I still have higher power then you Taylor.” The watcher says.

“Don’t give her any thoughts that she’s better then everyone else.” My mother says.

“Why because you weren’t great and you became dark because that’s all you could do Taylor.” The watcher says.

“Wait how do you two know each other?” I ask.

“She was my old roommate when we both went here she couldn’t do anything and its easier to learn dark magic then light magic so that’s where she turned. Your mother at one point was nice but once she became dark she turned on everyone me and her were once sisters.” The watcher says. “But I once I beat her in the tests she left all of this behind until she had you two and was forced back into it.”
