The Werewolf's Sorceress

CHAPTER 2

I still have someone to meet and she lives a couple of buildings away. I can see her laying her worn-out old cardboard on the ground as she prepares to sleep. It is past 10 in the evening so it is a little quiet and there are barely any cars and people passes here on the street.

The moment she saw me, her face lightens up, and didn’t hesitate to widely smile. She is in her mid-60s and she lives here in the street, I didn’t bother to ask any personal questions to her more than that.

‘’Lia! What are you doing outside at these hours, it is dangerous out here’’ - she said in her shaky and stuttering voice

‘’just got some company to handle, here take this’’ - I said and hands her the envelope

She eyed it then looks into my eyes

‘’you have to stop giving me your money Lia, you may have a lot of it but you have no obligations to me. You can save that in your bank account for your future, you don’t need to worry about me’’ - she said then tries to avoid the envelope

‘’I have my savings already’’ - I said then sits beside her doing an Indian sit

She held both of my hands. I can feel the strange comfort in it and the warmth of her palms

I looked at her in the eyes without saying anything.

‘’w-whatever happens… please protect your heart Lia, you have a pure one’’ - she says staring at me squeezing my hands

I have known her for more than 5 years now ever since I got my apartment, I have always seen her living in the streets. I share all my secrets with her even my crushes, my longing for my father, she almost stands as my grandmother, she is like a family to me. I always offer her to have an apartment and I will be the one who will pay for all her needs but she always declines I don’t know what the reason is and I can say I’m a little curious about it.

‘’I will, thank you’’ - I answered and squeezed back her hands

She gave me a smile and a slight nod

I moved to lay my back on a wall just to relax. I always stay with her a little some time because it just gives me comfort when I’m around her.

After a couple of moments, I say my goodbye and head back to my apartment.

I just got home and quickly heads to the bathroom to clean myself. I didn’t get any injuries from the fight earlier, just minor bruises that automatically healed themselves.

I can do magic like sorcery and I am pretty good at it because my dad had taught me so much. Every sorcerer has a thing that is a source of their power, my dad’s a ring and mine’s my earrings. He gave it to me as a gift on my fifth birthday, it may look like normal earrings but no, it is my source. I can also heal myself, it is a part of my powers to unconsciously heal my own body when I am hurt or bruised.

We have a book of spells and my dad gave it to me before he was sent to Aquidaime. He said I need it to master my spells and learn more techniques from them. We have to memorize every phrase in it and portray the procedures given in order for the spell to work

After I have done all my night chores, I jumped to my bed because I am so tired and I still have my part-time job tomorrow so I need to have a good rest.

Today is Monday and it is my schedule at the cafe, my part-time job. In the afternoon is my class, we don’t have classes on Monday mornings so I get to add the time to my part-time job because I also don’t have anything to do.

After I took a cold shower, I grabbed my cafe uniform. It is just a plain green polo shirt and black pants and a hairnet, looks casual but this is needed at the cafe I am working at.

I head downstairs to the lobby and proceed to my car. Yes, I have a car it is a typical Hyundai Aura that is very convenient for me as a student and for my everyday transportation and it is a Polar White Turbo Pack in color but I don’t use it on going to the realm because I just want to have time to wander around and walk for peace of my mind. I don’t know but it has been my hobby to walk a little distance for a couple of minutes since the company is just a couple of blocks away from my apartment. I bought my car after I graduated high school which is like two years ago.

I already did my eyebrows and put on my contact lenses, thick eyeglasses, and wig. I wore this disguise every time I go to work or school because I just hate being the center of attention and I cannot avoid it when I don’t wear this disguise when I go out. I have original short shoulder-length platinum hair, a not so ordinary eyes because I have a Heterochromia Iridum. My right eye is dark brown in color while my left eye is the same color as my hair, light platinum almost silver in color. This is pretty common in the realm but their colors are not as light as mine. They always say that my left eye is almost shining in the dark like a flashlight, I guess they’re right because my dad would also say that when I was younger. I started wearing a disguised look ever since grade school because it is required in the realm to hide our uniqueness to the common people because it might make an issue and be connected to our real identity. Sure the realm is very strict on its guidelines.
