Chapter Four : Winter’s Harold

Once I got home I hastily rushed into my bedroom, Gazing in the mirror the symbols slithering over my skin, hissing like snakes. My emotions running out of control; I felt the pain and suffering of the magic running beneath my skin. My golden blonde hair slowly fading into a Snowy silver hue from the root, snow and ice forming from my feet. I never felt such magic, I suddenly heard a knock at the door; hearing the kind tone of my Aunt Sophie. She spoke in a gentle, and kind tone. She was a Diviner, a incredibly rare form of witch capable of communing with spirit guides to divine information. She said to me;

"Adonis, are you alright?"

I turned to the door, extending one hand not knowing what to do. The air grew cold and stale, clenching my fist as snow like energy formed freezing the door shut. I looked back to the Mirror, as it began to quiver and shake. Cracks forming, as it shattered; stepping back I felt out of control. I heard her exhale, hearing her begin to speak; her voice echoing speaking as if many voices speaking the same thing at once; as the door began to shake

"Spiritus spatii, te iubeo ut objurgem destinatum meum."

The door suddenly flew off its hinges, as his eyes were dialated; puples larger then normal. Her hair was slightly darker then normal, arms extended to each side as she was lightly levitating. She had used dark magick to do this; after a minute she fell to the ground making a loud thud. I heard my Aunt Lenore, as she ran forward towards her wife. She looked at me, a mix of confusion and fear in her eyes. Then looking to Sophie, she spoke; not sure of what happened filling her with confusion and concern.

"Adonis, what happened?!"

I didnt know what to say, however Sophie took hold of Lenore's hand. Passionately leaning in for a kiss weakly, she then leaned towards her Wife's ear. Whispering I couldnt hear, Lenore's eyes widened. I wasnt sure why, however I knew it wasnt good. Unsure of what to do, Sophie looked to me; slowly getting up leaning on Lenore for help. Like a crutch, she slowly got up weakened by the Dark magick's. She spoke to me in a serious, and very serious tone; looking directly into my eyes.

"Adonis you are the most powerful witch, I have EVER seen. Your powers, they are far beyond anything I have ever felt before. And I believe you will only grow stronger…"

Lenore looked to Sophie, concerned by what she was saying. She looked at the time, and decided to change the topic; it was evident by the look plastered on her face she was uncomfortable. She let out a genuinely kind smile, speaking warmly. Her tone was gentle, and encouraging speaking; I was incredibly concerned but I took some deep breathed and listened to her speak.

"Why dont you go to bed, you have school tommorow…"

I looked at the clock, it was almost midnight. nodding, I said in a weak tone as I walked over to the lights turning them off and heading to bed… As my head hit the pillow I immediently crashed; I woke up a bit late slowy getting up as I stretched my arms. My hair still had not returned, however I was to tired to care. I walked downstairs, through the hall and into the kitchen; the house had been within my lineage for hundreds of years. Aunt Sophie offered to drive me to school, I nodded and got in the passanger seat. As she started to drive, she cleared her throat; she didnt want to bring this up but had to anyways. Speaking in a concerned, and heavily worried tone; yet still caring and motherly as ever.

"I think it would be best if we transfered you to St. Walpurga's, a supernatural highschool. It doesnt have many Witches, but they are very safe… But it is run by a dear friend of mine, and their son will be joining you."

I didnt really care, I knew my powers were slowly growing to strong for me to control. But after a brief silence, a pause that is she spoke in a gentle tone; Her voice slightly shaking as she didnt even look to me as we arrived. I could tell she was uncomfortable telling me this, after all she was a Diviner; they tended to be more caring and non-confrontal

"Your first day there is tommorow…"

I looked to her like she had three heads, I was flabbergasted. I exhaled, clearing my throat as I said in a flustered tone. My tone was perturbed, the window frosting over, the glowing energy forming a snowflake looking spiral on the glass. Leaving a chilling, and fog filled energy. Noticing this I immedietly moved my hand, the ice began to Dwindle and diminish the energy fading. I looked to my aunt, however she didnt see anything. I swifly unlocked the door, and stepping out. Getting out, grabbing my bookbag. And getting out of the car, walking into the school after closing the door waving my hand to her.

I looked to my trembling hands, Unable to even imagine how to control my magic. Like a wild and uncontrollable storm flowing through my body, however I snapped out of it as I saw Elijah. Turning around I headed to the bathroom, however he noticed me and followed Suit. And suddenly I felt someone grab my hand, holding me back. Draconic speed was no joke, angrily I concentrated turning back to him; turning my gaze to his hand. Flurried of ice and snow began to gather around my hands, extending to his. Slowly frosting over his hand, by the second the ice expanded in a spiralling snowflake pattern. I spoke in a menacing tone, not once breaking eye contact; a chill forming in the air as the tempurature slowly dropped around me.

"Let go…"

Elijah Jerked his hand back, the ice melting with haste. As I tried to get away once more, turning around and walking swiftly; however he appeared infront of me. Damn, this little sh*t, I though. Exhaling, looking around at the empty building; as I suddenly noticed everyone was missing. Something was wrong, I was to annoyed to notice it before. I inquired in a concerned tone, my eyes shifting from side to side;

"Question, have you seen anyone?"

He shook his head no, as I began to get a sinking feeling. Something was wrong, closing my eyes concentrating. Taking hold of his hands, beginning to mutter under my breath a light chilling breeze filling the room;

"Spirits of Truth, the lies now be cast out for I am one of you, I am one. Move the lies, and reveal the truth."

I continued to chant, whatever or whoever did this was strong. This was complex magick's, and I felt it trying to push me back; and so I began to push harder. Opening my eyes, as I could taste the metallic flavor of blood dripping from my nose to my lips. Yet I didnt stop, I spoke aloud becoming aggitated as if this was my last day at school…. I would say goodbye to those I loved.

"I command you, lower the Veil!"

The wind grew more frigid, as it began to snow indoors. Faster, and faster and within seconds the floor was covered in snow and ice. I felt whatever magick this was fighting back, and it was good at it. However eventually I won, then I woke up… Looking around as I realized I had fallen asleep in class. Elijah was looking at me, his eyes full of concern. However, I looked away and began to pay attention once more. The rest of the day was uneventful, I said goodbye to my friends, and headed home. When I got home I layed in bed, falling asleep early wondering what would happen at my new school…
