2. Protection spell

It was around midnight when I heard trees burning outside my home. Mother and I lived in small cottage in forest so fire wasn't something good. I remember how mother woke me up. She was shaking me with fear overwhelming her eyes.

"Baby…mama is here. And mama loves you.", she said. Then with the quietest whisper she said: "But mama must go fight. Please baby… forgive me for what I'm about to do."

Her hand touched my forehead. It was warm. Almost was warm as fire outside, but not painful. No, mother's hand was soft and kind. So, I decided, whatever she does I'll forgive her. Even if it brings me death.

Darkness fell into my eyes. For few minutes I was alone in that painful darkness, but then I saw someone run past me. I followed shining figure and ran with it to one field. Suddenly all darkness was gone and I was in garden. Air felt so fresh and wind was blowing.

"Oh, so you actually came.", I heard someone's voice behind me. I turned around and saw love of my life. Edward. "I was sure you were too mad at me to make it to this date."

"I could never stay mad at you.", I explained and fell into his arms. He hugged me closer with love. But somehow I couldn't remember why was I mat at him to begin with.

He hugged me even closer. Unusually close.

"Please baby… forgive me for what I'm about to do.", he said as I felt sharp pain in my stomach. Then he moved away just so I could see knife stuck in me. My knees gave out from pain and all I could say is one silent "Why?"

He looked at me with a smirk. 

"Never trust love baby. Never."

And I believed him. I will never trust it because it all ends the same. With death. Just as Edward tried to kill me, I will be killed again. Because I'm stronger.

Then so be it.

I will become the monster they fear of the most.

The witch that will survive.
