Lightning Witch

Chapter 02

"Now child you have to rest." My mum says as walks out of the room and I looked at myself through the mirror that was just right in front of the direction that I was facing now.

My eyes seemed to be seeing my face over the mirror but then I later understood the reason why I enjoyed the looks of it, just for me to figure out that the reason I was lost staring at the mirror was because of the beautiful scenery of the cloud outside.

The thunder striking with lightning spreading through the cloudy weathered sky was amazing to the sight. I felt attracted to it.

So, I took a step towards the window to admire the beauty of the lightning that was spackling so beautifully in the sky and it continued in that way until you it seemed as though it was getting more greater and harder as the thunder strikes even more bigger than before.

Illuminating the whole environment with light and then the lightning that spread across the sky began to come down.

I thought it was going to vanish and disappear but then I noticed that it was coming for me this time and that didn't seem like a joke at all.

I Immediately turned to run away from the window since I was afraid of getting struck by lightning.

But then it seemed as though I had gotten stock in my steps and I couldn't look at what was holding me just to discover that the lightning had somehow wrapped itself over my hands and was reacting with Spacks over it. I looked at my veins to see how they began to blow as the lightning was surging through my body and I was getting weak and screamed for help.

But my voice didn't even make a sound. Then I looked at the mirror opening my mouth to see spacks of lighting in it. I was slowly being dragged to the window and was afraid of falling out of the tall hospital building.

I tried to use my powers and every magic I knew... I had, but nothing was working at all as it seemed as though the power that was taking me was even greater than anything I had encountered or have ever felt before.

Indeed, I was getting weaker.

And I couldn't call for help from anyone so I only hoped for someone to find me and save me on time.

But then the door behind me opens and I hear my mum enchanting from behind me and she rushes towards me.

Then she holds me by the waist with the lightning rushing through her that she screams in the pain she felt.

Then, she uses her magic to set me free from the lightning that was dragging me out of the hospital room. She placed me over the bed and I finally breathed out properly.

Then she carries my milk and takes a gulp and the doctor opens the door. "Is anything wrong?" He asked anxiously.

"You're taking her milk?" He asked, confused.

"Me... Oh well, it was just tasting.... To see if it was good for her to consume ha-ha." My mum says pretending.

Then she handed the milk over to me and I drank from it, recovering as well.

"Dad! Stop it! Mum just died and you don't even seem affected." I hear someone cry from outside.

"Don't you bother me Lina! It is enough!" I heard a man's voice say to the young girl who spoke and I felt a bit sad.

Then, my eyes met with my mum. "What happened!?" She asked, staring deep into her eyes. "It is as you said mum." I replied.

"What?" He asked in return.

"I am a lightning witch" I replied to her as I drank more of the milk. I am even afraid of my magical powers.

Derrick P.O.V

I woke up hoping it was a bad dream but as memories of what happened yesterday came rushing back to my mind and fresh tears moved on there on accord as I began to cry again.

The fact that I was not going to see my mum anymore was already making me feel bad, because she was the only one, he was there to teach me how to use my powers and the gods knew... That she was my everything in this world.

I choked on my words as I attempted to pacify myself but it wasn't working.

I heard the knock on the door which startled me looking up frantically. I stared intensely at the door wishing I could see through it and tell who was behind the door.

But sadly, I couldn't and after concluding on my next move... I heard the knock again as a small fragile voice came out.

"Hey Lina, it is me, your sister. I'm Scared... dad's drinking again and only the Gods know what is going to do next." My little sister says from my door and my heart beats instantly.

At the sound of that!

I Rushed Out of bed to open the door for her, letting her in before rushing to lock the door behind me.

She looked at me with sad eyes that were now glowing and a tear stained Cheek and I gave her a sad smile.

Then I pulled her in for a bear hug.

She began to cry again on my shoulder giving out small sobs.

in-between her sobs, a tear slid off my cheeks as I tried to pacify and convince my sister because the last thing, I wanted her to think about what's the sad reason why our mother died in all the greater pain that our beastly father had.

"Don't worry Mona, it will be okay." I tried to calm her nerves down because her powers react when she is sad.

In between her sobs she responded.

"No, it is not... Dad's going to get us killed at this rate." She says to me in return.

"No, he is not crystal he'd..." I applied her just for the voice of my dad to interrupt my statement as his Loud voice echoed through the house.

"Derrick! Where are you, you spoiled brat!" He screams and I held my sister tight to myself as fear surged through my body.

To say I was scared was an understatement.

I could also see it in my sister's eyes.

I tried to reassure her that everything was fine but then I was horribly wrong.

I pride myself off my sister as I went to attend to my father downstairs.

Descending the stairs, I prayed silently that I survived this because only the gods know what my father has planned ahead for me.

I was ready to use my powers to protect myself if I had to.

"There you are, child... Come! There is someone I would like you to meet." He says to me as though he had calmed down.

He walked me from the stairways to the living room where I met a woman who looked to be in her early twenties.

She Was smiling seductively at my dad and I almost baffled but I kept my composure.

I monitored their movement as my father left my side to place a lingering kiss on her cheeks.

He finally cleared his throat as he Said.

"Derrick, I need you to listen and listen carefully. You Will Respect this Young woman in front of you just like you would respect your mother." He says to me and my heart beats in shock.

And then he continues.

"Because... Like it or not, she is replacing that good for nothing witch! That sorry excuse of a woman who refused to stay with me" He says arrogantly to me.

It stinks.

It hurts and I was heartbroken.

How could he? Or why would he say that? We just lost our mother yesterday and this is how he chose to mourn her?

I was really hurt and I couldn't bottle it all up. I yelled and I didn't know when I did as these words Tumbled out of my mouth with my powers threatening to explode out of my body.

"Shut up father!"

"How could you?"

"How on earth could you choose to do this to mum?"

"To your own wife!" I yelled out.

"She died yesterday and this is how you choose to mourn her?

My last statement earned me a hot slap across my face which sent me flying. My father was about to descend on me when Mona came rushing in blocking his Part as she pulled me close to her chest and she sobbed out.

"Daddy. please stop!" She begs.

"You Are hurting Him." She cries.

This was my life... My father beat me up for the littles things even when I was absolutely innocent.

I'd still Get a beat down.
