Chapter 18 - Eighteen : The Girl With The Darkness

"Something is wrong with that girl "She murmured softly staring out the window, the cold wind stinging her face.

"Who?" Cassie asked but the woman simply held out her hand, as if they shared a tactic understanding, she grabbed her hand and led her to a seat.

The woman was no other than the woman who held the initiation ceremony yesterday, but one couldn\'t help but notice some bold changes in her body.

Her less pronounced wrinkles from yesterday seem now to be deep and sagging.

Her skin was no longer fresh, but dull and sallow and her hair lacked the lustre from yesterday\'s.

Her once lively eyes that had scared the hell out of Lia were cloudy but definitely not dull. There was just something mysterious about her eyes.

"The portion is wearing off. " She said staring at her worn hands ignoring Cassie\'s question.

"I think you should quit being the initiator, there are many young witches to take your place " Cassie sighed massaging her arthritic wrist tenderly.

Her thin, pallid face broke into a smile "Those witches are young, impulsive and still have a long way to go, also, they\'re not a seer.It\'s our heritage "

"Really? " Cassie gave her a questioning look "Then why can\'t I see like you do? "She asked, a twinge of bitterness in her voice.

"Of course, you will one day child " the woman laughed trying to ease the tense environment.

"Yeah, I know .One day " She breathed

"Moreover, I\'m still healthy " She said but her sudden cough belied her claims of good health while Cassie gave her an I - told - you gaze.

"Watch her " She said all of a out of nowhere startling Cassie.

"Watch who, aunt Miranda? " Cassie asked wanting a specific detail. She drew closer knowing her aunt was about to spill important news.

Miranda touched Cassie\'s face lovingly and laughed

"I can\'t see much anymore, quite funny isn\'t it. Even after living for a hundred years, the end is sadly still the end "

"You\'re scaring me aunt " Cassie confessed, a stray tears falling down her cheeks which Miranda wiped away with her hand.

"I\'m not dieing soon child but you have to listen to me " She said in a serious tone "You have to stay close to that girl you brought "

"You mean Lia? "

"Must be but you have to know this" She said drew near and whispered something in Cassie\'s ear.

Her eyes widened, she stared at her aunt dazzled "You can\'t be serious! "

"I saw a vision of her Cassie, she has a darkness in her "

Cassie stood abruptly "Then we must inform the council "

"You will do no such thing Cassie ! " Miranda scolded " The future isn\'t fixed, it is bound to change moreover you know how extreme the council can be even when it comes to a small threat. "

Fist clutched, she went down memory lane only for a split second. Yes, she knew exactly how extreme they can be.

She took a deep breath and faced her aunt "What do you want me to do? "

Miranda flashed her a grateful smile, her yellow teeth in full display " Stay with her cause if my prophecy is true, then they\'ll come for her "

"Who\'s they? " Cassie asked but still no reply came out from her lips.

Truthfully, Cassie was a bit frustrated, she just can\'t understand why her aunt keeps withholding information from her. She was not a witch nor a seer just ordinary Cassie.

The information she got from her aunt was the only thing that made her feel powerful, she knew things that most people didn\'t know and would like to know.

Miranda closed her eyes, took a long heavy breath and called "Cassie"

"Yes? "

"Look into my eyes " She demanded

"OK.. wait ? what? "

Cassie kept sputtering when suddenly Miranda took her face in a firm clasp bringing it closer to her\'s.

"I\'m sorry " Miranda apologized but before Cassie could protest nor figure out what she was up-to, she stared straight into her eyes .

Cassie let out a scream and fell into deap darkness.
