Fake Princess
CHAPTER 34
The feeling broke free from my body, rolled around me like a snake as it disappeared into the middle of the night, and hissed the word yes.
Witchcraft. It turned out that what I felt all along was magic, magic that I didn't realize I had.
I ran. I ran back to Aunt Vania's house, no matter if Jose heard me or someone else saw me. I ran with my arms swaying, and my legs carried my body in a trembling state, my hair drifting loose from its braids.
After arriving at the cottage and rushing to the corner of the room to hide, I stopped, with a gasp of breath, and thought.
I did it. Somehow, I had already killed the plant, in an instant turning it from something living to ashes. I scorch the grass on which I stand. The only way to do that kind of thing is to use magic.
But I have no magic whatsoever, no one in the royal family has it, everyone has known that for hundreds of years no king or queen has magic power.
I placed one hand on the chest and the other on the wall of the cottage, suddenly realizing my mistake. I'm not a royal family, so maybe my family does have magic powers. But why do I just know it now? Why has something like this never happened before ?
My mind immediately turned, trying to find answers, but I forced him to slow down. No. gabe. Although I was tempted to look for academic clues, pondering why magic was hidden all along, there was one other question I had to ask my aunt first.
When I entered, Aunt Vania was walking back and forth in the main hall. He stopped while stomping his feet when he saw me.
“ Amelia!” snapped it.
“ Where have you been? Dye failed, and you're not home. This is not...”
“ Where does it come from?” I feel full of emotion, totally cleansed. First, Devan's visit turned into a disaster, then Jose's betrayal, and now. All this is too heavy; I am as tense as a bow ready to fire. At that time, I was neither shy nor quiet. I just feel angry and hurt.
“ What came from where?”
“ Magic.”
“ You already know,” I said, but I don't want to believe it.
“ You already knew this could happen, which I felt all along, & you didn't warn me.”
“ I don't know. You didn't tell me, & I was hoping.” For the first time since I knew her, Aunt Vania looked confused, doubting herself.
“ I hope it won't happen to you. Hope you didn't inherit it.”
“ Well, I just scorched the plant for touching it,”.
“ Looks so.” The door was still open, and I slammed it shut. My legs were shaking, but I didn't seem to want to sit down.
“ Where do I get it from ? My dad or my mom?”
Aunt Vania's gaze turned to bWah as she muttered,
“ Your Mother.”
My mother, who abandoned me, caused my father so much grief that she was willing to give me up. At first I hoped, just a little, that I would get it from my father. That way at least my aunt might know something about magic. But now, I am really alone.
I looked up at the ceiling as I felt my esophagus clenched. Alone, always alone. Whatever I did, I was destined to be alone in the end, with no one to turn to and ask for help.
