Chapter 9: Predictions
Chapter 9: Predictions
One thing I've always wanted to do was join the Phoenix Games but when I went for my first try out last
year I got rejected. It cut me deeply because the Phoenix Games is a badass game that brings thrills
and popularity and since I'm going to start social media pages for myself on Meledsan I need to make
the team this time. So I approached Jessica. She's the captain of the Phoenix Games and I want to be
her friend.
She's so beautiful, rich and popular and everything I aspire to be. If anything I want to join to get closer
to her.
She stood by her locker when I made my way up to her. She was talking with her friends. She wore her
black sports shirt and black shorts with black socks and sneakers.
Her natural ginger hair, as always, was gorgeous. A sideways fringe tucked behind her right ear, she
always splits hair into two sections and ties a pony and lets the others hang loose in curls.
Her hair is why everyone loves her. It's dressed it like that since middle school and many teenagers do
their hair like hers. They even dye her colour. She's the real influencer. It's her look.
"Hey... Jessica,"
She turned around and her friends kept quiet. They all looked at me, so I greeted them as well.
I looked at Jessica's strong jawline. I had no jawline. I had the Angelina Jolie jaw baby fat edition while
she has the Angelina, 'I shed my baby fat' jawline which makes her look like a model.
"Bethany... right?"
Wow. She remembers my name. I nodded my head while wearing a bright smile. I didn't expect her of
all people to know MY name. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
"Um... yeah. Anyways, as you can probably recall. I auditioned last year for the Phoenix Games but
didn't make it, I was wondering do you have any tips for me to get in this year?"
Damnit. What a lame topic to have with Jessica. She probably has better things on her mind, like who
she's going with to The Horror Ball. She flashed me a toothy grin exposing her perfect white straight
teeth. "I'll be honest with you. You should bring your A-game since my friends and I already have a few
suggestions of who we want in the team like in desperately. Unfortunately, I don't think any of us rooted
for you, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't audition anyway. Anyway, we're leaving,"
She expressed and walked away with her friends. I watched them go. I wouldn't fit in their circle
anyway, we're in different covens so we immediately believe different things. Also, she and her friends
are stick thin and I'm a bit more on the curvy side.
"Boo!" My brother startled me and I jumped.
I hit him on his chest which caused him to laugh. He was with his friend who I didn't like one bit. Dillon.
"Billy. What's your problem?"
He continued to laugh. "Going to The Horror Ball?"
I sighed. "I have other things to worry about. Something tells me that I won't make it into the Phoenix
team, favouritism,"
Billy pulled a sad face, "have you tried binding the coach?"
"Or putting a love spell on the captain?" Dillon added.
It just happened but all that and more came into my mind, "just... Billy. Can you find out who's making
the team?"
He nodded his head. "Of course. Easy as can be,"
I grinned and kissed my brother on his cheek. We're eleven siblings altogether but he's the only one I
consider a sibling and vice versa. He pulled away from the strong hug and chuckled. "Hey... did you
hear Purple-stone's prediction?"
I shook my head, "I'm not in her class. What's it about?"
"She says that many students will be falling in love this year and many powerful witches will come forth
this year and next year. The rare kind of power. Also..." Dillon stopped mid-sentenced. "The pentacle
will be completed, all five girls will receive their powers this year and their special powers will be
unlocked. You and Sindra will soon find the other three,"
I tilted my head to the side. After all, honestly, I didn't know how to feel about the last bit because I don't
care about the other affinities but I will care if they receive more fame than I do. Then I really won't be
having it.
"I'm meeting my soulmate this year," Dillon added.
I didn't see him for the type to fall in love. That's strange, his soulmate is probably a bitch and I can
already tell that I won't like her very much.
He had a huge grin on his face and looked at me with his wide eyes. "You're meeting your soulmate
too. You excited?"
"Ew!" I expressed as soon as he told me. It was a reflex, I'm not sure that I'm ready to meet my
soulmate. I'm not ready for love yet. I have no idea how to love and normally when teenagers find their
soulmates they marry almost instantly because they know that soulmates are forever. What if my
soulmate is that mushy type?
Hmmm, todo list journal.
1) get on The Phoenix Team
2) Get Tickets To The Horror Ball
3) level up in popularity
4) stop my soulmate from meeting me and possibly falling in love.
Doesn't seem that hard. Does it? Sometimes being a witch is hard, we have to balance all these things
and we do all this so that we can be happy in life.
As witches we hardly get rest. We have our normal school with our normal subjects. Some witches
have them here on Meledsan since they live here, I live on earth so I attend high school in my
neighbourhood. Then when school is over we have an hour to do our earthly homework before going
back to Meledsan to start with our other lessons.
Then most of us. I do believe it's all of us, do our other tasks via astral travelling. My mission now is to
go over to Laura, I'm not sure if I like her yet or not. But I do know that I love her hair.
There was no way that I could enter the house so I picked up a nearby brick and threw it through the
window. Then I climbed through the window and I finally made it in. I looked next to me at the door and
saw it standing wide open. Okay, so there was a way to enter. The door. But maybe I knew that maybe
I already saw the door open. Maybe I just didn't care and wanted to cause an inconvenience to the
family.
I made my way up the stairs and as soon as I reached the top floor her parents stood there, they
screamed the second they saw me. I'm here every night so by now they know about me. They ran into
the first room that they could find and it was the bathroom, they sat on the floor clutching each other
and crying.
I didn't need to but I did. I had too, I walked up to them and started tickling them, not a friendly tickle, NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
the one that transferred fear into them which only made them scream harder. They had to fear me.
Makes my work easier and also much more fun. When I felt like I tortured them enough I walked up to
Laura's room.
Her body and soul laid on her bed and she was on her phone. Texting some boys. Ugh. When her soul
saw me it screamed and dropped the phone on her bed in an attempt to run off. I giggled and rushed
over to her before she tries and runs away.
'Please leave me alone tonight, Laura,'
I ignored her begging and pulled it closer by its long luscious healthy hair. It started crying and tried
fighting me off but I had the upper hand. She crouched down on the floor next to the bed and I took out
a knife and dug the knife into her skull and proceeded to cut it off slowly since the soul thing was
crying.
I looked over at Laura who was still on her phone, she scratched her head exactly where I was cutting
off from her soul which was kind of cool.
I cut off her skull along with the hair and put it on mine. That way I'll have that gorgeous hair. I looked at
it crying and walked up to the mirror in Laura's bedroom. The hair looked way better on me than it did
Laura anyway.
I walked up to her bed and took the soul's phone. I don't have a cellphone point blank and I was going
to make this one manifest for myself.
It still cried. Shame. I hated the sound. I walked up to where she laid and pinned her down to the
ground and got her in a position that would make it impossible for her to get out of my grip and I forced
my body on hers.
****
I opened the portal that leads to Meledsan, it always opens like a big blue portal. That's the portal of
Meledsan gate.
Billy stood by the main gates waiting on me and I made it to him. He seemed a bit mad at me for taking
so long.
"Where were you?" He scolds.
I shrugged. "Over at Laura's. Do you like my hair?" I asked him as I whipped my hair for him. He
seemed jealous which was the goal. I ran my fingers through my hair and looked at my brother, "I
couldn't leave without making love. That would be wrong,"
Billy let out a small smile. "Of course not. Let's go,"
We started walking, not to the hostile but to the town where the dark magic witches live.
I thought back on Laura and groaned. "Don't you just hate it when they put up a fight though? One
would think they'd be used to it by now,"
Billy roared. "I honestly prefer them fighting. Prefer them more scared. So she lives at not far from
here, she'll probably not be at home. Her soul,"
I lowkey agreed with what he said. I don't like them fighting back because they might hurt me but I do
like to hear them scream out in fear. Like I could have easily taken the sound from Laura so that I didn't
have to go through that, but I wanted to hear her scream.
We made it to her home and entered their home and searched for her room but Billy took lead because
he already knew where her room was out of the experience.
It was empty. We searched for her opportunity, the one of her making the team. Normally these things
are underneath the bed but hers was empty. We searched all over but it was found in her closest
hidden underneath a pile of clothes. Once we found it we left and looked for fun all over
Meledsan.
