The dark tales of Alice
It’s almost midnight, and I am speaking with myself loud, while I am running on the street.
-That I am upset, is totally understandable. I mean, first I caught my boyfriend cheating on me in public, second, this wierd man, who tryed to rape me, than me with this power and strength in me, what I couldn’t even imagine, than this voices in my head! – If I say it out loud loud, maybe I can get rid of the things.
- Am I crazy? – I stopped, when I heard my phone ringing, and looked on the screen whit big eyes.
-Aunt Saoirse! What the...why are you calling me exactly now? This evening until now was totally crazy, and...
- Listen to me Alice, where are you now? – I stopped again, because her voice was full with fear.
- What? Oh, I am in the park by the monument, why? Aunt Saoirse, what is happening? – I stood almost before the gate. – I have a really bad, feeling, that was not all today.
- Listen to me Alice, this is very important! Our decisions determines our life! You need to be strong and wise! You only have one choice! But you are not alone, you have to know that!
- Can you be more concrete? Iiii don’t even understand a word, and actually I am scared! – I cried silently.
- I know dear, but it must be happen! We can’t wait longer!
- Wwwhat does that mean? Iii don’t understand a word...
- Now go, and take youre fate! No matter what happens, you will be always in my memories, and my heart! – than she hung up.
- Aunt Saoirse, hallo?!! No way!!!
I run through the park. I reached the middle, when the lighthing hit me. That was so quick, I didn’t even feel pain, just light, and then dark everywhere. I layed there, and didn’t feel anything.
-Am I dead? That was? Sould I try to sit up and watch around?
I sit up, but that was so light, I didn’t feel the weight of my body. Crazy! I looked on the left, and I saw somebody coming. A boy, about my age. He seemed to be dead too. He came to me, vent on one knee next to me, and asked:
- Alice, are you ready to take your fate? Do you have the strength to make it?
- I...
Hi, my name is Alice, and I want to tell you a story about my life and death on the world, what human can see, and what they can´t.
Let me begin on the front. Even my birth was strange. My parents told me, that was on Friday the 13th, by midnight, and there was a really strange atmosphere in the air. Like you feel, that something big will happening, but you don´t know, it will be bad or good. Everything was electric, and a big storm broke out, when my parents arrived to the hospital, with a lot of thunder and lightning.
In the small room were a lot of people, the doctor, 3 nurses, my mom, and my dad of course. Everybody was under a huge pressure, my dad was hopeful and nervous, and he chewed on his dark mustache. I´ts understandable, by the first child. My mom told him to get rid of it, but he wanted to show it to his daughter. Secretly, my mom found it cute, but she told him regularly.
- Come on madame, if the pain comes, push! - told the doctor to my mom.
She did, every time the doctor told her, but she was exhausted, ultimately she was in pain for hours now.
- Come on madam, one more time, I already see the head! - called the doctor excitedly.
So with one final push, exactly on midnight, I was on this world, me Alice McKinley. I was out, a big lightning hit down, and the light went out for about a minute. In a huge storm like that it is normal, but not by me. They saw a small, newborn baby with dark hair, and brown eyes, who was crying, like already feels all the pain in the world. When the light went out, it’s been quiet. What they didn’t saw, and why I went silent, the colors of my eyes changed, first of black, like hell, than of blue like a sky, than brown again. The time seemed to stay for a minute. From the nowhere, I heard two new voices in the darkness. I didn’t know, what that’s meant, it was just two other voice, that I never heard before, what is not a weird thing by a newborn. The odd thing was, nobody else heard it, accept me.
- Are you there? - asked a woman’s voice, quietly in the dark.
- Yes, I am! - answered a deep man’s voice on it.
- Than it’s time again! - told the woman’s voice.
- Indeed! - answered the man’s voice. - I didn’t knew, that you will be here to.
- It’s 2000, the second millennium. It was time again! - told the woman’s voice.
- We will see, if she is strong enough, to take her fate. - answered the man’s voice.
- Exactly! But now, we have to give her her space, and must to keep ourselves in the background. - told the woman’s voice, and went silent.
- Yes, truly! - answered the men’s voice, and went also silent for a long time.
The light came back, my mom got me on her chest and cried, and my dad chafed his eyes to, and gave me a kiss on my head.
- Welcome in the world my daughter! I will always be with you, and I will protect you! - told he with truly love in his voice!
- Me too! I will be on your side, doesn’t matter what will be happening! - told my mom too, with tears in her eyes.
So, that was me, Alice, just a regular girl, with a big secret, but it’s a little bit too early to say that. The day’s went by, everything was normal, I cried a lot, like other baby’s, fell by my first step, got injured, got than lost my first teeth, my hair grew, and went lighter, like my mom’s. Because of this my dad was a little bit jealous, because he wanted, that his daughter looks like him. Sorry dad!
I was about 6 and a half years old, when my mom get’s pregnant again. They were really happy with it, so was I. If they ask me, what I wanted, a baby brother or sister, I answered always the same:
- A baby brother, of course! It will be a boy, he is already on the way from heaven!
Everybody was excited to hear that, and they thought:
- Aww, what a cute little girl, she knows also the bible!
I didn’t, but if I put my little head on my moms belly, I just felt, it will be a boy.
When I got in the kindergarten, the teachers were so nice to me, not like the kids. I was a little shy, but it doesn’t explain the fact, that the other kids didn’t want to play with me. Except one girl, she was fearless, and I loved her because of that. The other children hated her too, because she was aggressive with them, and hit them always. To me, she was nice, and calm. She said, I was the sister, she never got, and her 2 bigger brother bullied her always. She was a mexican girl, with a lot of curly hair, and I was secretly jealous of it, because my hair was straight, and brown, and boring. But I was so happy to have her on my side.
So the other children whispered always behind my back, that I was dangerous, and they didn’t feel themselves good near to me.
Children are more sensitive than adults, and they are more near to nature, and sometimes can feel or see things, that the grown ups can’t perceive anymore. It’s a Peter Pan thing, that the adults can’t fly, because they don’t believe in it. Not anymore.
So, one time, we were playing on the backyard of the kindergarten with my friend Lupita, when odd men’s arrived, and took her away. We didn’t understand it, we both cried, and didn’t want to release each other, that was a nasty fight, but they bought her away from me. I was still crying, and yelling after her:
- Lupita, don’t leave me! You are my friend, I love you! Come back!
And I run after the man’s, who wanted to take her away, from me, I hit, fight and bit them, but it didn’t help.
The nanny took me in, and told me:
- Listen my girl! She must go away, she have no choice! It is not because of you or her, it’s about her parents. They must leave the country, and the children, with them. You don’t want, that Lupita must to live without her family, or her mom, don’t you?
- No, I don’t want! But I will miss her! - I sniffled quietly.
- I know my girl! - said the nanny - but she will be always in your heart and in your memories! - she hugged me, to calm me down.
- But if she’s not here, no one will protect me, from the other children! - I sniffled in her hair.
- Why are you need protection? Are you not safe in here? - asked her stunned.
- No! All the other kids hates me! - I cried out loud.
- Don’t worry my girl, I will protect you, from now on, I can be your friend!
- Really? - I was hopeful.
But until my mom is arrived, I was inside in a corner, and mourned my lost friend, who was taken by bad man’s.
When she saw me sad in the corner, she comes to me, sat on the floor, and asked me:
- Oh my god, my baby girl, what’s wrong? Who did hurt you? Why are you crying?
- My friend is gone, my only friend! - I cried again.
The nanny came to us, took my mom away, and told her:
- Mrs. McKinley, the friend of your daughter, Lupita Gomez, was taken by policeman’s today. Her parents are immigrants, and somebody betray them, so the police came, and took her away. That was a really nasty scene, it could traumatized you’re daughter. I advise to talk to her about that.
- Thank you Mrs. Leare, I will do it at home. - said my mom, and came back to me. - Come on my baby girl, we will go home now.
I went with her, and I said nothing on the entire way home. Than I went in my room, closed the door, and didn’t came out until the dinner. When my dad arrived home, opened the door, and shout, like always:
- Where’s my little girl? - normally I run to him, he lifted me up, and asked how my day went. But this time, nobody run to him. My mother came out from the kitchen, and told him everything. He got angry, but she told him to wait patiently, until the dinner. He did so. It went in silent, nobody said anything, and I just played with the food, and shuffled it up and down on my plate.
After the dinner, I got to brush my teeth, and take a bath, without any discussion, what was really weird from me.
When I was in my bed, my parents came in my room, sit on the two sides, and told me:
- I totally understand, that you are angry! I will be too! - told my dad - but you can’t do anything with it, but remember on the good days with her.
- But it’s not fair! - said I angry
- Of course, it’s not! - told my mom - but it’s happens some things on the world, that’s not fair at all, and you can do barely anything. If you will be older, you will understand, that the government have to protect the country. It is not always good for every each person, but for longer it will be good for all the people here.
- I hope, I will understand one time! - told I really wisely, and went to sleep.
After this incident was really hard and lonely for me in kindergarten, nevertheless Mrs. Leare made everything to cheer me up, and protect me from the children. Luckily, it was just a few months back, and after the sommer, I went in the school.
I thought, it will be better, new people, new environment, but how wrong I was.
Before the first day of school, in the evening by bedtime, my mom came to my bad, sat down and said:
-Are you nervous honey? Tomorrow is your big day. I was really edgy on my first day of school!
- Yes mom, I am, but I am also excited! I can’t wait to see, what is waiting for me!
- Very good honey, I like, if you think positive like that! I believe, it will be everything all right! - she kissed me, and went to sleep.
This night I dreamed about the new school, and how it will be. The next morning I was more excited than ever, got up, brushed my teeth, combed my hair in two ponytail, that was my favorite hairstyle this time, put my uniform on, white shirt and a blue skirt, and went down to breakfast. That was a sunny and warm morning in September, I was full of hope and positive energy. We chit chatted with my mom all the way to school in the car, she put me out at the school, and drove home. She was already 7 month pregnant, and she didn’t work anymore.
So, I was there. Saw the other kids, running around, some of them already had new friends, or somebody from kindergarten, so, I took a deep breath, and went in my classroom. I found it very quickly, because it was written on the door with big letters: 1A. That was my class. I went in, and took a place. Some other children were already sitting there, and waited for the teacher. I put my things on the table, and was busy to organize my things, when a few boys came in. I didn’t see them at first, just when I heard a familiar voice next to me:
- Hey freak, what are you doing here? Is this also you’re new classroom? Good to see you here!
- Hi Curtis - sad I with fear in my voice.- Are you here too?
- Like you see freak! Why didn’t you go back to the hole, from where you came out? - shout he, and of course, everybody was listening. They already begin to whisper behind my back.
- Look at her! What a freak!
- I knew it, when I saw her immediately!
- She smells like a freak too!
I was desperate, I didn’t imagine like this. Thanks to this bastards, it begins again! I almost cried, when the teacher came in.
- Good morning children! Please, everybody take a seat, we begin the teaching! - said her, and wrote her name on the chalkboard.
- My name is Ms. Galleger, and I will be your teacher in this year.
- Good morning Ms. Galleger! - said everybody in chorus.
- Today, I want to know you better first. So I will read you’re names, you have to stay up, and say something about yourself. Okay?
She began to read the names in alphabetical order, so it took time, to come to my.
- Alice McKinley!
- Here I am. - said I, and stand up. Some of the kids were laughing, some of them shouted things like: freak or witch, and I almost began to cry.
But Ms. Galleger raised her hand, and said:
- Quiet children! I want to know her on my own. - it went silent in the classroom.
- Hi, my name is Alice McKinley, this is my first day of school, and I already know how to read, and write my name.
- Nerd! - called Curtis quietly.
- Curtis, i didn’t ask your opinion! - said Ms. Galleger - Can you read or write your name?
- No Ms. Galleger! - answered he.
- Than you have to take example from her!
- Yes Ms. Galleger!- said he, and gave me an angry look.
- This is just because, my mom is pregnant with my baby brother, and she is at home. In the sommer we had a lot of time, to get ready for school. - said I.
- Well done! - said the teacher - Now, the next one!
She read the other names. I looked at Curtis, and he looked back at me, with an anger in his eyes, and hit his fist to his other hand. I was scared! I didn’t expect anything good here. Again!
In the break mostly I was alone. Nobody wanted to sit with me by lunch, or wanted to play with me.
Sometimes, a few kids came to me, and asked something stupid, for example:
- Are you really a witch?
- No, I am not!
- Can you make people sick?
- No, I can’t!
- Why are you here, and not in you’re hole, where you came out?
- I don’t live in a hole, but in a house, with garden and a pool. Why don’t you just leave me alone?
For them, that was like a dare, for me, like hell every day. My parents didn’t know about anything, I didn’t wanted to bother them, or make stress for my little brother. So I said nothing, and I felt very bad about it.
But a day has come, what changed everything in my life. I was on brake outside like always, when Curtis and his Gang came to me. They were around me, I was in the corner.
- Hey freak, do you wanna play a game? - he asked me with a big smile on his face.
I knew immediately, that doesn’t mean something good.
- No, just live me alone! - said I, and wanted to brake out from the circle, without any chance. One of the boys pushed me back, until the wall.
- Where you wanna go freak? Are you not happy to see us? - asked he, and everybody laughed.
- Not at all, just let me go! - I was desperate. I knew something wrong will happen, if nobody do anything/nothing.
- No! I want to teach you a lesson freak! - shouted he, and throw a rock to my head.
I fall on the floor, I cried from pain and fear, try to protect myself with my arms, when the second rock hit my head.
- We have to do something! - called a woman’s voice. - They will kill her!
- They are just kids, who are playing! - answered a man’s voice. - And otherwise YOU said, that we have to keep us in the background, and give her space! - said he sarcastic.
- But they will kill her! We can’t let it happen, she have a fate! Don’t you feel her pain and fear? - asked the woman’s voice desperate?
- Okay, okay, but don’t tell me after, that you didn’t have to do that! - answered he, and came out.
So if the second rock hit my head, I went unconscious, and I didn’t remember anything. What the bullies saw, was terrible. I got up, my eyes turned black like hell, and I spoke whit a deep male voice:
- Curtis, Curtis, Curtis! You, have definitely a place in hell! - than I ran to him, jumped up, hit him with my hands, pushed him on the ground, and yelled all the time:
- If you bother her one more time, I will take you by myself to Lucifer in hell!! - and hit him again again and again.
The other boys were like petrified, and didn’t dare a move or call for help.
- Hey, this is enough! He learned his lesson! Stop! - shout the woman voice, but I didn’t stopped.
Than my eyes turned blue like a sky, I stopped hitting him, and said:
- I am soooo sorry kid, he didn’t meant it! - than I looked on the other kids, and said - Sorry children, that you have to see that, it won’t happen again.
Than my eyes rolled up to withe, and I felt again unconscious on the ground on him. He was in shock, yelled like hell, pushed me down from him, and crawled back from me. The other boys yelled too, and started to run away. That made a chaos, the teacher arrived, saw us, they took him to the principals office, and me to the nurse. They called the parents too.
When I was awake, I didn’t know what happened, and my mom was already there. I opened my eyes, and saw her, talking with the nurse.
- Wwhat happened? - asked I confused, wanted to sit up, but I got a huge pain in my head, and felt back.
- Sssh, everything is all right now my dear! I am here with you! - said my mom in tears. - Tell me who did this to you!
- That was Curtis and he’s Gang! They are bullying me from the first day. - answered I, with tears in my eyes from pain, and from relief, that is not a secret anymore.
- Why didn’t you tell me that? - asked my mother confused. - I could help you with these.
- I didn’t want to stress you out. You have enough with my baby brother! - answered I.
- Oh honey! - cried my mom - You have to tell me, something like that. I promised you, by you’re birth, that I will be always by your side!
- He came to me, and threw me with rocks! I felt to the floor, and defended myself with my arms, and begged them to stop, but they didn’t. - I cried out loud. - It was horrible! Than I felt unconscious, and I woke up here next.
- And you don’t remember anything else? - asked the nurse disarrayed. - That you fought him back?
- No! How could I have done that? - cried I with fear.
- It’s okay honey, it will be everything all right! - said my mom, and threw an angry look on the nurse.
The principals office was really full and busy on these day. First the kids were inside with the teacher, who saw the whole thing. At first they were really silent, nobody wanted to tell anything about what happened. Curtis was not there, he was still in shock, and his parents bought him to the hospital. His mother came back later, to hear what the kids have/ want to say.
- So, children, can somebody tell me, what happened, and how it started? - asked the principal seriously and hard. - Who started it, and why? Timothy? Can you tell me how it happened?
But Timothy just shrugged his shoulders and didn’t say a word.
- But you Brian, maybe you can tell us. - ask the principal the next kid.
Brian looked to the floor, and said also nothing.
- It will be not going so/like that. Somebody must to say something. I promise, that nobody will suspended, but we have to know the truth. - said the principal with a little bit less patience in his voice, that he wanted.
- That was not her fault! - said one of the kids al last. His name was Norman, and he didn’t liked the whole thing.
- Okay Norman, thank you for your answer! - the principal was happy, finally to hear something. - Tell us, how it started!
- Alice was alone outside in a corner, like always. I don’t think, she have much friends. - said Norman, and went sad for a second. - Curtis saw her, and told us, that we have to encircle her, and teach her a lesson, because she is a monster, and she deserves it. So we went from every side, and she was in a trap. She didn’t saw what is coming. And than, Curtis told her awful things, and throw a rock to her head. Than he took another one, but it didn’t hit. Than she fell to the floor, cried, and covered her head with her arms, and begged him to stop, and leave her alone. But he didn’t want to stop. When the second rock hit her head, she felt unconscious, but just for a second. Than she stood up, like nothing happened, than her eyes turned black. - Norman take a break, and didn’t know, how to continue.
- You mean white. - said the principal, and curiously pulled his chair more near to his table.
- No Sir, her eyes turned as dark, as the night, I mean her whole eye, there was no white in it. - said Norman, and looked to the other boys - Tell him, you all saw that! - called him nervously.
- This is the truth! - told Chris as well - She was like possessed! - in his voice was anger but also fear - and she changed her voice too!
- What do you mean, she changed her voice? - asked the principal confused - How she did that?
- I don’t know - answered Chris - but that didn’t sound like a voice from a schoolgirl.
- Than how? - the principal didn’t understand anything/nothing.
- Like a scary old man - took the word Brian back - She sounded like somebody else! She told him, that he has a place in hell, and she will take him personally if the time is coming. And than she jumped on him, and pushed him to the ground. I never saw a girl jumping so far and so big! – he said with respect in his voice - Than she started to hit him, and shouted like: “If you bother her one more time, I will take you myself to Lucifer to the hell!!” - and she hit him again and again!
Than broke the chaos out! Everybody wanted to tell the story on her own, and all at once. The principal let them talk, and changed a look with the teacher, who was there at first.
- Was it like this Mrs. Carlson? How can happened something like this in our school? - asked the principal unbelieving.
- I didn’t saw from the beginning Mr. Mosley, just when the girl was already on the top of him. But I also heared the voice, that was not her’s for sure. - answered Mrs. Carlson confused - I mean, the words came from her mouth, but that was not her’s!
- Let me think a little bit! Quiet children! - Stand up Mr. Mosley, and raised his hands - Now you can go outside, and wait on the floor!
Everybody quits down, and left the office.
- Mrs. Carlson, I still don’t know, what to think! - told he to the teacher - I mean, I don’t believe in demons or what!
- I am also confused myself, but I didn’t find any other explanation! - frowned Mrs. Carlson - I am going to the church every Sunday. Maybe we have to call an exorcist!
- But Mrs. Carlson, we are living in the 21th century for god’s sake! Don’t you think, it’s a little bit exaggeration?
- No, I don’t think so! And if you don’t wanna do anything, I can call our priest from the community. It’s not bad, if we ask his opinion too. And I will pray for her!
- Well, do it, but now, we have to hear the other side too. - told he, and got up, and went to call the parents and me.
The office was full again. Except the principal and Mrs. Carlson, were all the parents from the boys, my mom, me and Curtis mom too in the office. I sat on a chair towards the principal, my mom sat next to me. I had still pain, was scared and confused, and watched my shoes. My mom was upset, but she tried to keep calm, just to not upset me more, and for the baby. She had already a big belly. The air was electric, like before a storm. The parents were upset and confused, they didn’t know, what to think of the things. They stand in the background, and talked with each other.
- So! - raised his hands Mr. Mosley, and everybody became silent - Time to ask the other side! Alice, my child, how are you feeling? Do you have pain?
- Iii still have headache. - answered me quietly.
- I am so sorry, to hear that, and also what happened. You must know, that in our school never occurred something like this before. - he sent me a confused look, but I didn’t saw it, because I watched my shoes again.
- Yes! - answered I silently.
- Now, tell me, what happened on the backyard today. I promise you, it will nothing happen. - told he, and sent/gave me a smile.
- I don’t know. - answered I frowned, but from this movement I got headache again, and put my hand on my forehead - It went so quick! I was alone in the corner, than Curtis and he’s Gang came to me. I didn’t provoke them, I just wanted to go! But he told me awful things, than he throw me with rocks. I fell to the floor, I tried to protect myself, but he didn’t stop! - I cried out loud - Then another rock hit my head, then I felt unconscious, and I woke up at the nurse. This is all I know I swear! - I looked at my mom, than at the parents behind me, with tears in my eyes - I swear!!
- It’s okay sweetheart! It’s okay! - told my mom, to calm me down - We believe you!
- Speak in your own name! - shouted Curtis mother - I don’t believe even one word, what this small toad says! She’s lying!
- Watch your mouth Caroline, I am also here! - shout my mom - One more word, and I won’t sit here calm anymore!
- Ladys please!!! - said the principal with louder voice - We are all upset, and here is a child in the room! So everybody’s watching, what she’s saying! Alice, do you remember anything else?
- No, I swear! I just felt to the floor, and that was all! - I didn’t understand, why he asked that. They conceal something, but what? - Why are you asking that Sir? Iii don’t understand! Wwwhat happened, what I don’t know?
- Calm down, my child, your mommy will explain it later. - answered the principal gently - Please go out with Mrs . Carlson to the floor, until we are talking about, what will happen next okay?
I looked at my mom, and she said:
- It’s okay baby! You can go out with Mrs. Carlson, and sit down outside. We will finish with it quickly. - said my mom
Mrs Carlson came to me, and took my hand.
- Come on girl! We will wait outside. I will be right next to you! - so we went out, and closed the door.
I set down to a chair, and went silent for a while. I watched my shoes again, and the teacher said also nothing. Than after a few minutes, I broke the silence, and asked her.
- Mrs. Carlson? Can I ask you something? - I looked in her eyes.
- Yes dear! Anything you want! - said her too fast - What do you want to know?
- Why is everybody so strange? What they conceal from me, and why? Did I do something wrong? And why I don’t remember anything? - I became brave, because I wanted to know the truth.
- Oh dear, I don’t know if I supposed to tell you that. - told her with uncertainty in her voice - I really don’t know, that you may/should hear this, from me.
- But Mrs. Carlson, I have to know the truth! - said I with a little bit louder voice. I was upset and scared.
- Okay, but I can tell you only, what I saw. - said her silently - I heard the children yelling and I went there to see, that everything is all right. You and Curtis were on the ground, and you hit him again and again. You also spoke to him, on a really odd and scary voice. You were like possessed, or something. But until I run there, your behavior changed fully, you apologized first from him, than from the other kids, and you had again another voice. A voice from a grown up woman, gently like an angel. I really don’t know, what does it mean, but I will pray for you dear. - than she went silent.
- Iii don’t understand! How is this possible? - I was even more confused - I mean, why I don’t remember anything? And how could I fight Curtis on the ground, he is much bigger and stronger than me! It’s impossible!
- I saw what I saw dear! - said her with a gently voice - But the boys will know more! They were there all the time. Maybe you have to ask them.
- I can’t! - I cried again - I am afraid and they don’t want to talk to me I guess.
- You know, what my mom always said, if I was in your age? You have to face your fears! Always! So you can fight them and win! Than they are not so scary anymore.
- Iii will try! - said I not so much self-confident. Than we went silent again.
In this time at the principals office was really loud, the chaos broke out, as soon as we closed the door. The parents were shouting, everybody was confused, and angry.
- Pleas quiet people, everybody calm down! - raised the principal her hands - We have a situation to clear, and must to decide, how to process! We know now what happened, but we don’t know why!
- I know why! - shouted Curtis mother - because this ugly little toad challenged, the boys! And my boy had to pay the price! He is clearly traumatized!
- I told you to watch your mouth, if you speak about my daughter! - my mom sat up and went to her. She was smaller, than Curtis mum, but she was like a mother lion, who is capable of everything to protect her child - If you lose one more bad word about her, I can’t stand for myself!
- Ladys please! - the principal jumped there, and leaded my mother back to her chair - You must to think on both of you’re children!
- Okay, okay, I will calm down! - said my mother a little bit less upset - But please, explain me, in which universe is challenging, if six boys comes to one girl with rocks! Is this self-defence for you?
Nobody answered, and went in awkward silence. They all knew, she have right.
- And you Caroline, you raised a bully! The other kids told already, so you can’t cover it up! My child is for sure not the only victim here! - nobody said anything, not even Curtis mother. She knew, my mom have right! But she still wanted to protect her son!
- Your daughter have a serious problem anyway! She need a doctor, or a psychiatrist! - told Curtis mother with gratification, that she could say something, that the other parents can agree too.
- I wanted to recommend it too! - said the principal, so he can thwart another fight - Please Mrs. McKinley, take this advice! You’re child is traumatized, and need to take a rest!
- You mean, you will suspend her? - asked my mom with big eyes - For self-defence? And what about the others?
- I must to take steps in this situation, against every participant. - said Mr. Mosley, and stand up - Alice and Curtis will suspend for a week, for fight, every other child get detention for also a week, and the thing is cleared. I hope, you all will go home now, and explain your child, that they can’t behave like this, and if they see something like this, they have to stop it, or tell for an adult.
Every parent was satisfied with his words, except my mom.
- Sorry sir, I can’t accept that! - said my mom, and stand up too - I will take out my girl from this school, I think, this is the best solution, that I can offer. I don’t want, that happen again, and I see no guarantee, that it wont. - with this words she went to the door, and the other parents made place for her.
- Is this your last word Mrs. McKinley? - asked the principal - Because than is no way back!
- I don’t see a way back anyway! - told my mom proud - This is my last word!
- How you wish! - told Mr. Mosley - Than have a good day!
When my mom came out from the office, a looked up, she smiled at me, stepped to my chair, and took my hand.
- Come my baby, we are finish here! You don’t need to come back anymore! You will change school, and we will forget about the whole thing?
- Got she fired? - asked Mrs. Carlson shocked
- No, that was my decision! I don’t want that it happens again! And I think, this is the right resolution for everybody! - said my mom, and I stood up - Thank you Mrs. Carlson for everything! Come on baby, we have to go!
- Thank you Mrs. Carlson! - said I, and hugged her.
- I am so sorry child! I will never forget you! And I will light up a candle for you this Sunday in the church! - said her with tears in her eyes.
II.
We went to the car, and sat in awkwardly silence for a while. Than I broke up the silence and asked her.
- Mommy! Are you mad at me?
- No dear! You didn’t do anything wrong! - said my mom gently - Why are you asking this?
- Because what I did, also if I don’t know about it! And I upset you again, and stress is not good for my baby brother! - I wept on the back seat - Daddy will be for sure angry with me!
- No! Honey! - told my mother, and stopped the car on the side of the road, and looked back at me - He will be on your side! Like me! He will be angry with the boys, with the school, but not with you!
- But I feel myself guilty! - said I quietly - Also if I don’t know why! I am not like this!
- I know baby! Listen, we will go first to the doctor. I want that they scrutinize your head, that everything is all right. Than, we will drive home, cook something delicious, and waiting for your daddy to come home too. We have to sit down to discuss the things, like the adults! - said her and wanted to cheer me up - From now on, it will be better! - started the car, and we drove further.
- Thank you mom!
- For what my baby?
- That I don’t need to go back to this school anymore!
- You deserves a better one! Definitely! But why are you never told me about the bullying? I could help you, or talk to Curtis mom!
- I didn’t want to upset you! - told I shy - I was so happy, that I finish kindergarten, and finally left all these kids behind me, than he was exactly in my class.
- Okay, we make a deal! If you have a problem, any kind of problem, just tell me! We will find a solution together! - told her really seriously - Please promise me that! It’s not about, that you can’t have a secret! Everybody have a secret. Some of them are good, some of them are not so good. But if you want to tell me something, what you think it’s important, don’t hesitate to speak about it! Okay? And don’t hush just because I’m pregnant! Me and your baby brother are strong enough to bear that.
- I promise!
In the hospital we waited long, and sat in the waiting room for a while. My mom went one more time away, in the other side of the room, to call my dad, but she had an eye on me! I got a coloring book, and tried to busy myself with it. My dad answered the phone immediately. That was not usual, that my mom called him in this hour.
- Hi honey, what happened? Is everything okay? - asked he with a little fear.
- No honey, we are in the hospital, and...
- Is something with our baby? - cut in my dad - sould I come to you?
- No, with our baby is everything fine. It’s about our daughter.
- Wwwhat? I don’t understand! - answered he confused.
- It’s a long story, I will tell you at home. Our daughter was bullied in the school, boys threw her with rocks, and she went unconscious. She is injured on her head. The nurse in the school told me, that is not so bad, but I wanted to be sure.
- Of course honey! But how is this happened? - asked he angry - Where were the teacher in this time? And what said the principal to it? I will go in the school and tell them...
- No need to worry, and to hurry! - cut my mom in - I already dealt with it. I just wanted you to know. After the hospital we will drive home, and we will talk about it, if you are finish with work.
- No, I will drive immediately to the hospital, and...
- No, you just sit on your ass, and finish your work for today. In the evening we will talk about it. - said my mom, and my dad was clear, that the situation was serious. Otherwise, she don’t use such words like that in publik.
- Okay honey, but please call me again, what the doctor said.
- I will! So, we come next. I will call you later! Bye!
- Bye! - she hung up, and my dad went in silence for a while. He was really confused and angry. How can this happened to his girl? He wanted to brake something, or at least hit the wall. His college noticed that something went wrong, and heard also a few words, so he asked him.
- Hey Robert, is everything all right? I didn’t want to listen, but I caught a few words, and...
- No, Tom, unfortunately, my wife is in the hospital.
- Is something with the baby? - asked Tom with fear.
- No, with the baby and my wife is everything fine. But our daughter was bullied in school. Some boys threw her with rocks, and she was injured on her head. I also don’t no that much.
- I am so sorry! This kids these days huh? - said Tom, and shook his head - I hope, she will get better soon!
- Thank you Tom! I hope too!
- Do you wanna go in the hospital?
- No, my wife told me, to sit on my ass, and to finish work for today. She can deal with the situation herself. - told my dad and laughed short.
- She is a very tough woman! - laughed Tom also
- She is amazing! - said my dad with love in his voice. - But now, back to work! - they both turned to the computers, and worked again.
In the hospital, they put me in a big machine, to examine my head from the inside. I laid there, and didn’t moved, like the doctor said. I tried to not think of anything.
Meanwhile my mom took a serious conversation with Dr. Robins.
- Can you tell me again mam, how is this happened? - asked the doctor my mother
- My daughter was bullied is school, some boys threw her with rocks! - said my mom upset - The nurse called me, that she lay unconscious in the nursing room.
- Did she said anything else about her condition? Did she trow up, or was her dizzy?
- No, she have just headache. But they told something more mysterious! - said my mom shy. She didn’t want, that the doctor call me crazy.
- What? - asked Dr. Robins, and looked up from the papers.
- The kids said, that she felt unconscious at first, than she stood up, her eyes changed the colors on black, she fought back, than her eyes changed the colors one more time on blue, she apologies from everybody, than her eyes rolled up withe, and she felt unconscious again. After that, she didn’t remembered anything. - my mother looked in his eyes confused - Do you think, she is schizophrenic or something?
- I don’t think so, but if you want, I can send you to a good child psychiatrist, but first we have to look at her clinical evidence, than I can tell you more. - frowned the doctor his forehead - But I never heard of eye color changing. On black, than blue, you said? What is her eye color again?
- Brown like amber. - told my mom - Do you think we have to worry about that?
- To be honest, I don’t know yet. It’s up to the evidence. - said the doctor - I don’t want to make a guess to early.
- Okay, thank you doctor!
After the clinical evidence was there, they checked my blood, my eyes, my reflexes, everything possibly, but they didn’t find anything abnormal. My mom was not happy with the result at all, and told me, to go to another doctor on this week. I got a band-aid with Hello Kitty on it, I was happy with it, and we went home.
We cooked together my favorite meal, chicken with delicious sauce and potato puree, and we waited for my dad. We watched a movie, and my mom felt in a sleep. 5:30 pm, like always, my dad arrived home, and I run to the door, and jump on him.
- Daddy, you are finally here! - I shouted luckily, and he lifted me up and hugged me.
- Yes my dear, I am here! Your mother told me, that you had a really rough day in school. - said he, and put me on the floor.
- Yes she had. - told my mom sleepily, and came out to great my dad - come in the kitchen, I will tell you everything. Alice, please go in your room, and wait there, until we call you. - turned my mom to me
- But mommy, I thought...
- Please baby! I need to talk to your dad alone, than we will talk about today also together. - said she to me gently.
- Okay, I am going! - told I a little bit sad.
- Thank you baby, it won’t take long!
So my parents went in the kitchen, and I went to my room. I opened, than closed the door, that they can hear it, and quietly sneaked down the stairs. I wanted to hear, what about my parents talking without me. They didn’t noticed me, and I sat on the stairs, where they couldn’t see me, quiet like a mouse, and listened every word.
My mother told him everything, what she heard or did on this day. At first she sit, but how far she with the story went, the more she was upset, and begin to walk up and down in the kitchen. By this part, were she said that, they throw me with rocks, my dad lost his patience, jumped up, that the chair, were he sit felt to the floor and he cut in:
-What? - shouted he angry - What did he dare? Throwing rocks on MY DAUGHTER? I will go now, and will speak with this little bastard...
My mom jumped to him, and grabbed his arm, to calm him down:
- Ssshh, Alice could have hear that! - she listened a while, but she couldn’t hear anything, so she went on - Robert listen to me, it was just a child, and...
- Nancy, you spoke about 6 boys, who lured our daughter in a trap. That was not innocent, and also not a game. They could have really hurt her, or kill her. Did you think about that? And I shouldn’t be upset?
- What do you think, what I felt, when i got this phone call from the school? I was also not calm, you can believe me! But now, don’t cut in, before I tell the whole story, until the end, okay?
- Okay, I promise! I have the feeling, this was not all bad things.
- So, the kids, and the teacher told us, when the second rock hit her head, she was unconscious, but just for a second. Than she stood up, her eyes turn as dark as the night, jumped to Curtis, pushed him to the ground, and hit him. In between, she spoke on a male voice, and...
- What? Wwwhat did you say? On a male voice? Our 7 year old girl? - he was really confused.
- Exactly! - told my mother frowned, and spoke forward - She hit him a while, than her eyes turned blue, and than she spoke with a grown up female voice, apologiesed from everybody, her eyes rolled up withe, and she fell unconscious, and didn’t remember nothing.
- How is this possible? - my dad was totally perplexed - I can’t believe that!
- Robert, we have exactly 7 witnesses! Everybody told the same. Not only the boys, the teacher too. It couldn’t happen somehow else.
- But Nancy, this is insane! - he jumped up again, and started walking in the kitchen - It can’t be, that... - he stopped in the middle of the sentence, turned back with white face, went to the chair, and sat down. He hid his face in his hands, and said nothing. My mother run to him, and asked with fear:
- What is Robert? What’s happening? I know, that you know something! - she creamed im his face - Tell me, no matter what!
- Iii just remembered something from my childhood. - told he slowly - Do you remember my aunt Saoirse?
- Who with your family don’t have a contact since years?
- Yes, her. I remember one thing really clearly. I had always afraid of her as a child, because she was really strange. One time, when I was about 10 years old, I was by her parents on the sommer. Nobody else was at home, but we two. I played downstairs, and she was in her room on the first floor. I heard, that she speaks with a man, but I thought, nobody else was there. So I went up, and opened the door quietly. I saw her alone in the room, she spoke with herself on two voices. I asked her, who else is in there, when she looked at me, with black eyes, and told me on a male voice: - It’s non of your business ! - Than she stood up, her eye color changed back to normal, and said on her own voice: - Hey, I just try to the theater from the school. How was it? - But I knew, that was something really bad, slammed the door, and run down.
- What the hell? - asked my mom in shock, and sat down. - And what happened than?
- I waited downstairs, until her parents were home, and asked them to drive me home.
- How old was she?
- I think about 25. She is much older than me.
- But what want that mean? - asked my mom desperate - Maybe you have to call her for advise!
- I don’t know, what I should feel or think! - said my dad disarrayed - But what I know, I don’t want to contact her!
- But Robert, maybe we can hear something, what can calm us. Maybe she know the answers, what we need right now! Maybe...
- I don’t think, she can help us Nancy! - cut my dad in - She is just a half crazy aunt, in my family, who also don’t want to know from us. We don’t even know, were she is living.
- But you know her number, don’t you? - asked my mom, who had always a plan B.
- Yes, she gave me a phone number once, but I don’t even know, if I have it.
- For sure you have it, you put everything on the side! - told my mom, and smiled - And I’m sure too, that you know exactly, were it is.
- Yes, I know it, but...
- No but, you will call her, and finish.
He didn’t say a word, but nodded. So my mom told him everything else, what in the principals office happened, in the hospital, and what the doctor said.

- I told him than, that I am not satisfied with his diagnose, and I will go to another doctor later. Maybe even to a child psychiatrist. We have to know more about it.
- This is a good idea, but I don’t think, it would help. I feel, that no doctor on the world can tell us, what’s happening. - my dad frowned, and said at least - I am really proud of you!
- Why? - asked my mom
- Because you was so calm all day! I couldn’t hold myself back, but punched somebody in the face. - my dad found amusing the image.
- They had luck, that I am pregnant! - laughed my mom - You know me!
- Yes, my mama bear! - he hugged and kissed her, then said - but we have to call Alice now! We must to talk about the things with her too.
When I heard that, I sneaked upstairs so fast and quiet, as I can. I closed the door, jumped on the bed, laid down, and waited, that my parents are coming.
- One more thing dear! - told my dad - I want, that our daughter learn self defense from now on! - his voice was really serious.
- This is a good idea! - said my mom - But now, You have to call her.
My dad came up to my room, and knocked in silently. Than opened the door, and said:
- Okay Alice, we are ready! You can come now downstairs, and we will make a family meeting, like the adults.
- I am coming! - I jumped up from my bed, and went in the kitchen with my dad.
We sat around the table, and my dad spoke first:
- So Alice, your mom told me everything. How are you feeling? I was really worry to hear, that you are in the hospital. Do you still have pain?
- Yes dad, but just a little bit. - told I, without a lie.
- That”s my girl! - said my dad, and we made a ghetto fist. - Well, I think, that was the best choice, to quit that school.
- Me too! - I was really happy - I am thankful, that I don’t have to ho back anymore!
- I think they are too! - said my dad, and he felt, that a feet kicked he’s under the table. - What I wanted to say, that we will looking for a much better school for you, far away from this one.
- Yeaaaaaah!! - shouted I loud - I don’t need to see them anymore!!!!
- But remember Alice, if something is wrong, you have problems or you don’t feel safe, you have to tell us! - said my dad really earnestly - Promise me!
- I promise! - told I with crossed fingers under the table
- What I wanted to say also, I think it’s time you to learn some self defense. You know, not to hurt other people, but to defend yourself, is something like this happens again. - my dad knew a lot of people in the town - I have a college, whom children goes to a karate teacher every week. What do you think? Would it be something for you?
- I think, I wanna learn it, to defend myself and others - nodded I approval - What time can we begin?
-Hold on cowboy! - laughed my dad, and my mom too - At first I want to tell you, that I am really sorry, that could happened to you! If somebody bulliing you, you have to tell us! Otherwise, you are alone with it, and you are lost alone. But if you have somebody on your side, you can deal with everything. Do you understand me?
- Yes dad! I promise, that I will tell you or mom, if I get in trouble. - I though seriously.
- Good! - told my dad, and stood up - I think, it’s time for dinner! I could kill for a delicious meal!
- Me too! - told my mom - And my son too! - she stroked her belly and laughed
I run to her, put my head to her belly, a said:
- Don’t worry little brother, I can vindicate you too!
Everybody laughed, and prepaired for the dinner. But somehow, I had the feeling, this are not just empty words. The time has come, when I must to stay to my word.
The rest of the evening went happy, and carefree. We chit chatted by the table, like nothing happened. I was really excited about my new school, and the self defense course, and my parents were relief, that I was painless and well.
Meanwhile Mrs. Carlson went to the church. She wanted to light up a candle and pray for me. She was almost finish with it, when the priest came in.
- Padre! It’s so good to see you! Do you have time, I need some advise, and maybe your help.
- Mrs. Carlson, I didn’t expect you here today! – he was suprised – How can I help you?
- Padre, I don’t really know, but I hope, you can do something. I know a little girl in our school, and I think she is posessed. But not on a normal way, but double. Is it really possible?
- Slow down Mrs. Carlson. Now tell me from the begining, what happend. Why are you thinking, that this girl is posessed? And immediately two times?
- Padre, you know me, for a long time now, and you know, that I never lie. I was in the school today, like always, it was a nice day, so the children were outside. Everithyng was normal, until I heard something weird from the corner of the building. I went to check it, and I saw unbelivable things. A girl named Alice, was in a fight involved with a boy, but that was not normal this way. I mean she is way smaller and weaker, but she was already on the top of the boy, and hit him. She spoke on a deap and old man voice, that didn’t belong to her. I mean, the words came from her mounth, but, that was not her’s.
- Mrs. Carlson, can it be, that the children just played, and you didn’t see somebody else, like the repairman, or...
- Padre, I don’t think, if another adult would have been there, it didn’t stop the fight? And otherwise, every child, who was there, said, that her eyes turned as black as ink. And I heard myself, theat she said for the boy, if he bullies her one more time, he will bring him down personally to Lucifer in hell. Wich adult would say such tings?
- But Mrs. Carlson, don’t you think, it’s a little bit like a fairy tale? – the priest was suspicious – I mean, these are kids, and...
- No padre, I heard and seen it by myself. – cuted Mrs Carlson in – And I don’t tell fairy tales. But that was not all! After a while, her eyes just changed color on blue, than she spoke on an adult woman’s voice, aplogised, and said: he didn’t mean it. How about that?
- So her eyes changed color two times, and she spoke on two different kind of voices, what didn’t belong to her. Hmmm... This is interesting. And she was also stronger than usual you said.
- Yes, exactly like this. Do you think she is posessed?
- I don’t know much about this things, but I think, that gave me an entitlement to call the bishop and ask him about that.
- This is a really wise idea padre. Do you think they will send an exorcist?
- Slow down Mrs. Carlson, I didn’t even ask it. This is really good, that you came to me, and told me about it. I will call the bishop tomorrow, and I ask his advice. It can’t be bad.
- Thank you padre. I will for shure sleep calm tonight. I did, what I could.
- Yes, thank you, for your loyality. God bless you my child!
The next day, the padre called the bishop, to ask what to do. He listened very attentively, and told him to not do anything, until he call the Vatican, and ask by higher person.
- So we have to wait! I understand. Thank you for your time. – he tought, it can’t be so harmless, if the bishop will call the Vatican.
After bath and teeth brushing, I was alone in my room. My parents wished already a good night, hugged and kissed me, and said, that everything will be all right from now on.
I laid alone on my bed, but I wasn’t alone. From this time on, I never felt alone. It was just a feeling. Not like being watched, but my guts told me, that I have nothing to fear. That was worrisome, but also reassuring. A little bit paradox, isn’t it? But I felt, that somebody is always by my side, also, if I can’t see it? But how wrong I was! In this time I didn’t know nothing. I was just a 7 year old child. I was Alice, but not the one from Wonderland, with the blond hair and the pretty blue dress. Also not Alice, the brave wizzard, who defeat the Jabberwocky. Those are just books. Really good books, but they have nothing to do with reality. I never though, I was something special, but somewhere deep inside, I was convinced, that I am. I am something really special! So, from now on will be everything else. From now on, will everything change. From now on I will be change! I need to be stronger, harder, and more careful. I have no idea why, but it will be like this.
From this time, I had really odd dreams. They were not even scary, but somehow I had afraid. I was in a really dark room, where was nothing. On the other side was a closed door, from under it came light, and I heard voices too. A man and a woman talked to each other, somethimes they also argued. I couldnt really hear what they talked, or on what they argued, but I had a really weird and scary feeling.
One time, I went to the door, and listened again. The man was angry, that the woman was not always there, where she soulded be. I went always more near, and at the and, I watched inside through the keyhole. I just wanted to see who was indide. But in this moment, they went silent, if they just knew, I was there, and a big black eye wached back. It was so dark and scary, that I screamed myself awake. I sit in my bed, my mom came, and asked, what was wrong. I told her, I had a bad dream, she calmed me down, and I went to sleep again. But that was not my last dream about it. I never saw nothing after it, but I always heard them.
III.
My new school was much better. Nobody knew me, or my past, we told everybody, that we just moved here, because my dad got a new workplace. Nobody asked anything. It was so relaxed! I even got new friends, and with a few I went to highschool. I also lerned self defense after school. It was hard, but it was good for me, it gave me self confidence and courage. Meanwhile we got my baby brother. I was more excited and happy than ever in my life. Finally I have somebody to play, to take care of, who look up to me. Well... It was not so easy, that I imagined, but babys are like this. They are sweet but also tiring. I felt myself as a hero, the big sister, who must to be there, whatever he needed or wanted. Maybe I spoiled him, but he is my baby brother and I love him.
The next what I remembered, happened on my 16th birthday. We have a family tradition, that this person, who have birthday, can go for the post, so he or she can see the wishes or packages from the family or friends at first. So I woke up in the morning, made myself ready, went down, and my family waited for me with love, warm hugs, and a nice breakfest as I wished.
- Happy birthday Alice!! We wish you all the best! – I was full of joy and curiosity.
- Thank you!
- Your cake comes after school, in the evening. – told my mom – You are so beautiful, and big already! – she wished a tear from her eye.
- Mom! – told I and hugged her – I will be always your little daughter! – I smiled at her, and went to the table. – Come on, lets eat, I want to see the post than!
Everybody came to the table, sat down, ate, and we chit chatted, the whole time. That was one of my best birthdays until this time. I felt myself so grown up, so other. Full of positive energy and joy for this day.
So after breakfast I went outside to check the mail box, and I found a few letters and a package inside. That was interesting, because I didn’t know the sender, certain Saoirse White. Who can it be? I went inside, and asked my mother:
- Mom? Who is Saoirse White? She sent me a package, but dont know her.
My mom froze for a second, turned to me, and said:
- This is your great aunt from your dad’s side. But she is strange, and is not in concat with the entire family. If you want to know more about her, you can ask your dad about her.
- Okay, I will do that.
So I went to my dad, ultimytely I had some time before we should drive to school. I found him in his office.
- Hey dad!
- Hey birthday girl! Come on in! – I went to him, and sit on the other side of his table on a chair – What led you to me?
- I just wanted to ask you something. Who is Saoirse White? I got a package from her on my birthday, but I dont even know her. – I was really courious about his answer.
- You know, she is your great aunt. But she is really weird, in her whole life since her childhood. She made peculiar things, nobody understand her, and when she turned 30, she disappeard without a trace. Nobody knew anything about her, but she left a crazy message, what said something like that: „I cant live with this load anymore! This is not a blessing, this is a curse! I will go to get rid of it, and if I make it, I will coma back.” Nobody heard from her three years long, but exactly the same day, when she dissappeard, she turned up again, like nothing happend. From this time on, she was even more odd. She said some things, that became true, she even knew, you will born, 9 years before your birth. She said, that you will be a girl, and the next generation. That was so crazy, that we broke up the contact with her, but she knows about you. After that, she changed location, and only god knows, where she living. We just got a card from her to your birth, from a rented letterbox somewhere in the city. So if you want to know her, I can’t forbid it to you, but please be careful.
That was all, what my dad told me about her, and I didn’t know, what to think about the whole thing. One side of me said to call her inmedietely, because she is the only one, who can understand me. But my other side told me, I am not ready yet. So I wrote her a letter, to thank the present, and said, if I am ready to know her, I will search the contact to her. Later she wrote me back, that she understands my decision, and wrote her adress, where I can find her, and also, that everything happens from a good reason, and I must be careful, and tell nobody from my weird things. That was odd, because she didn’t know anything about me, and my strange things. But I took her advice.
Otherwise, she sent me twoo books. One of it was a family tree, from the 10th century until now. She was also in it, but what was extraordinary, that she had two names. Actually there stand something else, but that was eraesed, and somebody wrote another name inside. Her’s and Ambriel, but it can’t be true! First of all, it’s a mens name, and second: it’s an angel name. The angel of communication and protection, I googled it. And there was more odd things in it. Almost every century borned a girl with double name. I did a reserch, and some names were from angels, some of from demons. But the top of it was my great great great great great great great great grandma, she had three names. And guess what? One from an angel, and one from a demon. I became more courious about it, so I went in the archive to hear more about it. That took about a month, to find something usable. But I found storyes about a girl from the 17th century, with 3 names, like my great great great great great great great great grandma. It said, she born in a great storm, what nobody saw before and she became a powerful witch. She was not bad or good, but she helped the people, or for the landlord in some cases. But the weirdest were her eyes, because they changed colours. Sometimes they were as dark as the night, sometimes blue like the sky, sometimes brown like amber. Okkay!!! So in principle, I must be the next generation of a witch, with an angel and a demon inside me. I tought, it’s a bullshit, but I was also afraid. What if it’s true? What if, I am really a witch? I mean, it’s 2016, and I am just a regular tenager, with regular teenager problems. I didn’t want to think about it anymore, so I put the second book away, without opening it.
Years went by and nothing peculiar happend. I finished high school, graduated, and went in a college in Massachusets. I was so lucky and free, I left the past behind me, I beginn a new life alone. My roommate was super nice and wierd, but on a good way. She is a goth girl, with black hair, a dark sense of humor, and a lot of self-assurance. She helped me come out of my shell, and always brought me on some partyes or interesting places. Her name is Caroline, bus she prefers Caro, it’s not so old-fashioned on this way.
I even got to know a boy, hes name is Jay, and he is really tall, so about 6’6 foot. I am just about 5’6, so it’s a big difference, but he liked it. He is so good looking and smart, an I was really suprised, when he asked me to a date. Caro was not happy about it, but I didn’t care.
- Don’t go out with him. You can find so much better guy like him! – Caro was really worry and angry at the same time.
- Why not? And actually, he is the only one, who asked me out, so... What’s wrong with him? – I was a little bit confused about her behavior. We were in our room, and I tried clothes to my date with Jay.
- I don’t say, he is so bad, but not the best for you!
- Oh come on, I don’t looking for my feature housband right now! I just wanna have fun! – I frose for a second, turned to her and asked – Did you two dated before?
- Oh come on, why sould I date a guy like him? – she turned a little bit red – He and me is like two other planet!
- Caro, come on, this is me! You can tell me everything! It’s not a big deal, if you guys were together.
- Okay, I give up! Yes, we were together, but for not so long. So, you know the thruth now, are you happy? – she went so sad and agressive, I became suspicious.
- What was wrong, why are you broke up?
- He was cheating on me, okay? I think I was a liiitlllee bit in love with him. I didn’t get is so well.
- Oh come here – I hugged her, and I really felt her pain – If you want, I don’t go out with him!
- No, please, don’t pass this possibility because of me. I mean, you can have really fun with him. But please don’t take him too seriously!
- I promise! – I yawned a bige one
- What’s wrong? You didn’t sleep well? Do you have this dreams again? – she came more near, to hear better. She liked my weard things, she was the only one, who knew about them.
- Yeah, sadly. I don’t know, what’s wrong with them. They arguing a lot, the last time.
- About what?
- He said, he don’t like, that she is sometimes not there. She sould be always by me, he said. And she have secrets. Maybe she is cheating on him, I don’t know.
- It’s strange, that an old couple is living in your head. – she laughed
- Yeah, it’s crazy! So, I am ready! What do you think? – I turned around – I think, it’s pretty ok.
- What it’s mean ok? You are beautiful!
- Thanks! Wish me luck!
My date went super, we became pretty close. We even went in bed. That was not my first time, but was the best one, till this time. He was a fantastic lover, and really gentle. Before I went home, he asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes. I was pretty happy about, how my thing changed here.
A week after, we went with a few friend in the amusemnet park on the weekend. It was a really nice weather, sunny, and we were in a pretty good mood.
We were next to a fortuneteller, when an elderly woman came out from the tent, stopped, and came straight to me.
- Young girl, you have the strangest aura, what I ever seen. Do you want to now more about your future?
- What? What is with my aura? Why is that strange? – I became courious – Is it something wrong with it?
- Oh come on Alice, she just want youre money! – Jay wanted to pull me away, but I took my hand out of he’s and went back.
- Hey guys, I just want to try it, okay? We can meet somewhere after it! – I went back to the woman.
- Yo, but if you don’t come out in 15 minutes, I will came back.
- Ok, babe, but give me 20 minutes okay? – I kissed him, and said – We can meet by the ferris wheel.
- All right Alice, but be careful!
- Don’t worry, I will be. – so I went back to the woman, and asked – What about my aura?
- Oh, I never saw such an interesting one. But come on in, there can nobody disturb us.. – she lead me inside to a table, with two chair. – Sit down my dear. Your aura is interesting, because it’s pretty uneven, and it consist of different kind of colours.
- Wich colours? And it’s not normal, or what? – I was a little bit sacred. Since my incident in the ground school, I wanted to find an answer, and I took every advice, I got. We sit down on the chairs toward each other.
- Well, no, it’s not so normal. Your own aura should be pale pink, but in there are black and white spots inside. This is very rare my dear. Maybe you are not alone, aren’t you? I ask you with all my powers: WHO ARE YOU? ANSWER ME NOW!
I think she asked the right quastion, because it went dark again, and I felt unconscious. But of course, just for a second!
- Shut up witch, she is not ready yet! – my eyes turned as dark as the night, and he came out.
- Well, well, well, what a protective demon! Should I chase you out from her? She don’t deserv this!
- Let him here please! We need him too! – my eyes turned as blue like the sky, and my voice became softer.
- Oh, an angel! – she was suprised, but not scared – It’s mean, she is the one! I am really suprised, she is so fragile, but ...
- You can’t tell her nothing! We must wait until she turns 21. It takes a few more days. – my eyes turned black again – And then she have to choose good. But remember, we are always here!
- I see, I see! All right damon, than let it happend, on it’s on way. I think, she is the right one this time! I feel it in my bones! – she laughed, but her laughter was quiet dark – Hide yourself than, I will keep your secret!
In this moment, like to a flick, I was there again. I looked around confused, I didn’t remember nothing, again!
- Wwwwhat happend? I just came here inside, and everything turned black around me, and...
- Shh, calm down my dear! It’s okay! You said, you feel yourself dizzy, I pushed you down the chair, and you felt unconscious. Did you ate anything today? Maybe your blood sugar felt down. Or did it happen some other time before? – it was odd, that she was not scared at all. But me was still dizzy, so I didn’t asked nothing.
- Iii don’t know, maybe. But I have to go back to my friends now. We can speek another time. – I was quikly by the door – Bye bye!
- By my dear! – she came out also, and looked after me, shook her head, and said – What a suprise! It will be an interesting battle, I feel it in my bones! – She laughed again, and her eyes turned a little bit more dark. – I feel it in my bones! – her voice was also deeper then before.
I meet with my friends, and we had a very nice day, but I tought the whole day on what happend. I knew, she conceal something, and I felt actually not really well near to her. I felt some power in her, what I couldn’t explain. But hey, I can talk about it with Caro later. I felt reliefed from that idea, and I didn’t think about that anymore.
Late at night I came home, she slept already, so I did thet too.
I dreamed again about them. They were arguing again!
- Why did you that? She didn’t need to know about both of us! – asked him really angry – It’s never good, that a witch knows everything! We don’t know, on wich side she is!
- Can I remember you, that you came out again, not me! – told her patientely-
- Yes, just because she forced me! I couldn’t fight against it! But you, you could! So why?
- So you know what, it’s mean. She is on the dark side.
- Yeah, but she is a witch. We still don’t know, if she is agains her or not. – she was angry, but also apprehensive – Maybe we have to take controle, and ask her.
- No, I think, it’s not a good idea. She is tired, she need to rest. And anyway, the time comes neer.
- I know, but...
- Shh, I think she is here again! Don’t you, Alice?
I sit up with a cry, and waked myself, and also Caro up. She turned the light on, and asked confused:
- Alice, were you that? What time did you get home? What happend? Are you okay? Did you dream again?
- Slow down Caro! Yes, I came home after midnight, it was really good, and yes, I dreamt again. But you know, what? I am really beliving, that they are somehow here.
I told her everything, including the visit by the witch. She tought about it a few minutes, and than told me:
- I think, there is a connection. It’s can’t be other.
- Yeah, and now what? Sould I go back, and ask her? „ He Mrs. Witch? Can you tell me more about it?” No! It’s insane!
- No, for sure not. But we can do a research online.
- Do you think, we will find something? – I was sleepy and didn’t really belive in it.
- I don’t know, but I want to try. But we need to slep now. We will see tomorrow. Sleep well!
- Yeah, good night! – I fell in a sleep, and I didn’t dream from them.
I had a few more day’s back to my 21th birthday, and I wanted to celebrate it here, without my family.
- Hey mom! Listen, my birthday is coming soon, and... would be really rude from me, to not celebrate with you guys? – I didn’t want to offend her feelings, but I wanted to be with my friends, and my boyfriend.
- Oh Alice, I wish I could be there with you, but you are an adult now, you do what you want! And later, if you will be come home, we can make a party for you at home, like before.
- Really? I really like this family-partys! Ok, let’s make a deal! I celebrate my birthday here, and if the semester is finish, I will go home, and we make up for it, okay?
- All right, baby girl! I will tell your father and brother, that they can prepair themselves to a big party!
- Thank you mom! I love you!
- I love you too! See you soon!
- Bye bye!
I was really relief, that she took it so good.
It still 3 days left to my birthday, but I had a strange feeling. I felt, that somebody thinking of me very strong, and I saw a few sign. I didn’t think about it so mutch, until something very scary happend.
I sit in the park by a table on a bench, ate my lunch, when a wierd looking woman, with strange blue eyes came to me, took my hand over the table, and shoot me on a really odd voice:
- CALL YOURE AUNT!
- Please? Iii don’t understand... – I was really confused, her grab on my hand went stronger-
- CALL YOUR AUNT! NOOOOWWWW! – then she felt on the table.
- Madam? Are you okay? Maadam!
- Heh, what? Where am I? – she seemed confused – What do you want from me?
- Sorry, but you hold my hands, not otherwise!
She looked down, then on me, let my hands, and said:
- Oh I am so sorry! It’s just happened again! – she was really despperate – Please don’t go to the police! I swear, it won’t happen again!
- Why sould I go to the police? I think you just gave me a message, nothing else, I guess! But are you ok?
- Yyes, I think! But I don’t remember nothing!
- It’s okay, I know this one! Don’t worry! What’s youre name?
- Alice! No, this is you! – she sook her head – She said, find Alice and tell her to call her aunt!
- I underatand! I will do it, okay? So what’s youre name again?
- My name is June.
- Nice to meet you June! By the way, are you a medium?
- Yes I am, but how are you know that?
- Well, you gave me a message! That what a medium do, isn’t is?
- Hmm, you have right. I will give you my card. Maybe you will need it again one time.
- Thank you! – I put the card in my pocket – I will go now, to call my aunt. Bye!
I stood up, take my things, and let her sit on the bench.
I got back to college, went to my room, it was empty, because Caro did her research, took the letter from my aunt, and calld her. She got up after the first ringing, as if, she just would have sat by the phone, and waited on my call.
- Thank god Alice, you are safe! – her voice was scared.
- Hy aunti! Wy souldn’t I be safe? What’s wrong? I think I got your message!
- Oh that, did you scared?
- Amm, not that much, I guess! But why are you messaging me like that?
- You dind’t call me until this time so, I had to apply for another solution. How are you my dear? Your birthday is getting near!
- Why are you saying it like that? What will happen on this day? Why is it so important?
- It’s your 21th birthday. You became an adult! It’s always important.
- No no no, I didn’t mean like that. In your voice was... I don’t know, a dark overtone. How sould I understand that?
- I am not the one, who supposed to tell you about that, and...
- Hey hey hey, it’s not fear! You know something, and don’t want to tell me!
- Belive me, if I could, but my hands are tied!
- From who?
- Alice, I can’t tell you much, but that you are not alone. You are never alone! And...
- Thank you, I already know that! – cuted I in – I can’t tell you from where, but I just feel it.
I told her every weird thing from my life. I didn’t let out nothing. When I was finish, I ended with this:
- Caro make research about the witch from the amusement park. But I don’t think, she will find anything.
- I understand. Listen to me Alice, don’t incur her wrath of you! She is dangerous!
- But how can I decide, who can I trust, and who not, if I don’t know, of what is going?
- What you must know, you know already. Oh, if I could speak with them...
- I don’t think, it’s a good idea! They arguing the whole time!
- How you know that?
- I am dreaming about them. I don’t see, but I can hear them. He is not happy with her actions. She is always away, or, she is speaking in the wrong time. Like she want to sabotage him. I think he have right.
- Oh-oh, I think this is a bad sign. Alice, you can’t trust anyone, even them. I am not sure now, but I feel bad about it!
- Anyway, a CAN’T talk with them. They lock me out all the time.
- It’s all right like this! You must to keep your secrets too. And remember Alice, your decisions are imprtant! They can mean life or death!
- Yes thanks aunti, this helpfull advice! I have to go now, and think about everything.
- All right, and if you notice something suspicious, just call me! Bye!
- Bye!
Okkkay! So, that was not the helpfullest conversation in my life, but I know at least more.
Caro came in, with some papers in her hand, and when she saw me, shouted loud, and slammed the door.
- Alice, you don’t belive what I found! I went in a few archive, until... But wait, why are you looking like that? What happened?
- You won’t belive it...
So I told her about the message, and the phone call too. She was really excited, and went up and down before my bed.
- So your aunt know everything, but don’t want to tell you? What a boob!
- Hey, she is still my aunt, also if she is a freak. But at least, she is a freak like me!
- You need definetly call her again! But now listen to me, I found also really cool things! What do you think, who is our witch?
- I don’t know?! She is an elderly woman, with strange behavior. – I spread my arms – What did you find?
- At first, I serched on the amusement parks website, for it. Then I landed on her website. Yes, she is a really modern witch! I took her photo, and searched just with it. I found out, she got missing in the 70’s, than she was 65 years old, and her name is Natsha. What do you think, how old is she now?
- If i am right, she must be 116? Seriously?
- And this is not all! I found the owner of the fortuneteller before her. They could be twins, but this is not the same woman, that’s for sure! Check up the photos!
- This is amazing! – shouted I , and jumped up from the bed – This can’t be true! What do you think, what it’s meen?
- I think, somebody, or something killed her, and took her identity. This is the only logical answer.
- Yeah, but for what? I mean, what will we do, with these informations? We can’t go to the police, with these wild theory! They will think, we are insane!
- Of course, we will not go to the police! We will do it on our own!
- No no no, you have to forget about that! Promise me!!!
- Okay, I promise! Hey, did you tell your mom, that you will not celebrate your birthday at home? How she got it?
- Actually pretty well! I promised her, that I will drive home after the semester, and we will make a family-party, like before.
- How sweet! Not like, I do like something like that!
- Give up, I know, you would be gladly there!
- Emm, no!
- Hey, it’s me, you don’t have to lie! I can invite you by the way!
- No, you don’t have to! This is your family-party, and I don’t belong to your family!
- EEEE! Wrong answer! You lost the discussion! So you have to come with me now!
- Really? – she jumped on me, and we landed on my bed laughed – Are you not joking?
- No, for sure! You have to be there!
She kissed me on my cheek, and went to the bathroom in dance steps.
It was just 2 days left to my birthday, and I didn’t felt good about it. With my boyfriend went also not so good! He was texting non-stop, and didn’t wanted to show me, or tellme who was it.
- Oh, babe, don’t be jealous! It’s just a friend, nothing more!
But I felt, somehow, it’s a girl! I was stressed, and sad.
I didn’t even want to celebrate my birthday anymore. Just one day left, and the things wasn’t better. I made an argument with Caro, because of the witch. She wanted to something, to spy on her or so, but I said, it’s too dangerous, and if she have really a big power, I don’t want that anything bad happens with her.
My birth happend exactly by midnight, so we wanted to celebrate it in a club. Every friend of my went there, but the last second, I changed my mind!
- Oh, come on, it’s youre birthday! – said Caro 10pm, and wanted me to go with her. She was ready, and I just layed there in pyjama.
- No, just leave me alone! – I hid myself under the blanket – Go without me!
- Come on, how could I go without you on your own birthday party? Don’t be silly! – she teared down the blanket from me. – Come on, make yourself ready, we are going!
- Oh, live me alone! I told already for Jay, that I am not going!
- What, you called him? And what did he say?
- He just said okay, and have fun!
- Really, and you don’t find is suspicious? I bet with you, he is with a girl there!
- Do you think? – I jumped off – I have to see it with my own eyes!
- That’s my girl! – she boxed in the air – So hurry up, we lost already 15 minutes with arguing!
I made myself ready in no time, and in 30 minutes we were in the club. As we stepped in, I got an attention, from a man. He wanted to come to me, but we was looking for the others, so he stepped back and just observed the happenings. I went to the box, where we always siting, and what I said, is shocked me! I saw my boyfriend kissing with another girl. On my birthday. In public.
- Jay, what do you think, are you doing? And who is this girl? – she seemed a little bit confused, but he not.
- You know, how it is Alice? One time up, one time down.
- What does that mean? Are you braking up with me right now?
- You said that! – he just shrugged his soulders – So, I think I don’t have to tell nothing more! – than he turned back to the other girl.
The man just laughed, went out and hid close to the door.
In this moment one of my friends noticed, that I am here, and ran to the DJ. He turned down the music, and played happy birthday, and my friends came with a cake, and sangt to me. Suddenly I heard a voice in my head. That was painfull, so I grabbed my forhead. It said:
- Alice, go to the park, hurry up!!
Wwhat? What was that? I was confused, and I just stand there in the middle upset, and didn’t know what to do, but run out. Caro wanted to come after me, but the guys just came around, and asked her, what happend. She couldn’t run after me, for her luck.
I stepped out, and on this second somebody grabbed me from the back, and pulled me in an alley.
- Well well well, what we have here? A beautiful little flower! – he laughed, and I smelled a lot of alcohol.
- Hey Mister, just let me go, this is not the right time for something like this!
I tried to free myself, but he was strong. I headbutted him, he let me go, so I could turn around, and see in his face.
- What do you want from me men? I am not the right girl!
- Alice go to the park! Hurry!!
I grabbed again to my forehead, so I didn’t see what he’s planning. He grabbed my neck, and pulled me up in the air, that my feet didn’t touched the ground anymore. Hes eyes turned as dark as the night, and he spoke on a double voice. On hes, and on somebody elses.
- Shut up bitch, I Am the boss here! And now, you will be mine!
But I told you, he choose the wrong girl! My eyes rolled up to white, my head bented down, than up again with a smile on my face, that would freez the blood in everybody, my eyes turned black also, and I grabbed his neck too. Now hes feet were also in the air, just like mine.
- Hank, Hank, Hank, nobody told you till this time, that little girls to rape is not a nice thing? Who do you think you are?
Hank froze for a second, and than he smiled back!
- Oh, another one! What are you doing here Bune? Why do you want specially my prey? Go to hell, or wherewer you want, just let the girl to me!
- No, Beleth, I cant do this! You have to go, and let her alone!
Meanwhile I came to me in the room, I always dream about. It was not dark anymore. My head was dizzy, I didn’t know what happend, but I noticed everything. I so Hank hold me in the are, like me him, but I knew, I don’t have the controle. It have somebody else. I even heard them speaking. The man voice from my dreams. But where is the woman? I was confused than ever, but I knew something, I have to take back controle! So I went to the front, and there were two windows, so I went to it, and... Somebody pushed me back! I heard the woman speaking.
- Go to hell demon, we have something to do! – my eyes turned blue now – We don’t have time for this!
- Oh, an angel! Very interesting! Also she is the one! – he took me down to the floor, not so nicely, so I released his neck to.
- You again Laila! Can’t you just shout your mouth?
What, the hell? So all two is here, but so I am! And I WANT CONTROL!!!!!!!!!!!
-I don’t know, what this whole thing mean, but everybody just shut the fuck up! I need to think! – I had control again, over my own body.
- Hey girl, we are not finish yet! – Hank wanted to grab me again, but I was faster, and hit his hand away!
- Bune listen to me! Take her hand, and speak with her! – so Laila took my hand.
- Okay, but I don’t know, what are you planning!
- You know what? GO TO HELL! – I hit him, in the middle of hes chest, so sid the two inside me.
We saw in Hanks eyes, like the hell opens, and the demon falls in the deep. The gate closed, Hank felt to the floor, and shouted on me:
- No, what did you do? My demon is away, how could you?
- I don’t know, but...
- Alice go to the park! NOW!
- Ahhh, what, the fuck! – my head hurted like hell, so I turned around, and just run. I didn’t even recognised the route, I just run.
- Hey girl come back! Give me my demon back, I need him! Hey!- but I didn’t hear him anymore, I was already far away.
It’s almost midnight, and I am speaking with myself loud, while I am running on the street.
-That I am upset, is totally understandable. I mean, first I caught my boyfriend cheating on me in public, second, this wierd man, who tryed to rape me, than me with this power and strength in me, what I couldn’t even imagine, than this voices in my head! – If I say it out loud loud, maybe I can get rid of the things.
- Am I crazy? – I stopped, when I heard my phone ringing, and looked on the screen whit big eyes.
-Aunt Saoirse! What the...why are you calling me exactly now? This evening until now was totally crazy, and...
- Listen to me Alice, where are you now? – I stopped again, because her voice was full with fear.
- What? Oh, I am in the park by the monument, why? Aunt Saoirse, what is happening? – I stood almost before the gate. – I have a really bad, feeling, that was not all today.
- Listen to me Alice, this is very important! Our decisions determines our life! You need to be strong and wise! You only have one choice! But you are not alone, you have to know that!
- Can you be more concrete? Iiii don’t even understand a word, and actually I am scared! – I cried silently.
- I know dear, but it must be happen! We can’t wait longer!
- Wwwhat does that mean? Iii don’t understand a word...
- Now go, and take youre fate! No matter what happens, you will be always in my memories, and my heart! – than she hung up.
- Aunt Saoirse, hallo?!! No way!!!
The park was quiet and empty. Nobody who I could see, namely not now! On the gras sit two figure, one was a ghost, the other one an angel. They saw me there, and the angel asked:
- Is it she?
- Yes she is it!
- Are you sure, that she is the one?
- I never was so sure! Let’s do it!
The angel nodded, raised his hand, and flicked once.
I run through the park. I reached the middle, when the lighthing hit me. That was so quick, I didn’t even feel pain, just light, and then dark everywhere. I layed there, and didn’t feel anything.
-Am I dead? That was? Sould I try to sit up and watch around?
I sit up, but that was so light, I didn’t feel the weight of my body. Crazy! I looked on the left, and I saw somebody coming. A boy, about my age. He seemed to be dead too. He came to me, went on one knee next to me, and asked:
- Alice, are you ready to take your fate? Do you have the strength to make it?
- Iii... do! – I was not even afraid – I will take it, whatever it comes!
- Wise decision! – the ghost nodded, pushed my head down, and said – Go back then to the living, where you belong, and take your fate!
He pushed me back to my body, I opened my eyes, sit up, looked at the left, and he was still there.
- Okay, but now, you have to explain me EVERYTHING!
- Okay, what do you wanna know? – he sit next to me on the gras, and looked forward.
- Nah everything! Who are you, who am I, where are these creatures in me, and on what I said yes?
He laughed, and started to speak:
- I am Michael. I choose wrong in 1921, otherwise I would be on your place. We are the two newest generation of an ancient witch family. They gave the power always to the next generation on girl, and...
- Girl you said, but you are a boy! – cuted I in. I totally lost pathience.
- Like I said – took he the word back – They give the power to their doughter, accept me. They tried, but I choos wrong, so I belong to the dead side. You choose well!
- Oh really, I don’t even know, in what am I into...
- So it started decades ago...
- You mean my great great great great great great great great grandma in the 17th century?
- Oh, somebody did her homework? And what else do you know?
- Not so much, what I would like! And my aunt Saoirse is also not so communicative. – I rolled up my eyes.
- Oh yeah, the rebell!
- What do you mean?
- She really didn’t tell you isn’t it?
- No!
- She was born with a demon, like is sould be. She went to get rid of it, she even tried to be suicide. Than they changed it with an angel, and she was happier with it. She said, it was not her turn to take the FATE! She had right, so she is still on earth. You have to call her, by the way!
- We are in contact. We spoke already two times!
- Wow! That’s a thing!
- Oh, don’t be so sarcastic! Speak forward!
- Yes Madam! – he saluted, laughed, and went forward – So, to answer your question, you have to save the world!
- Wait, what? How could I...
- This is not a joke! We know, that in this century something big will happen! Something, that can erease the human world, or turn into hell, or who knows.
- From where do you know that? And who is „we”?
- We are a small group on earth, from the differentest creatures: ghosts, witches, angels, damons... Who want to protect the human world.
- But why is this so important?
- Because, the human world is the gate between every other world, like a neutral field, where can every participant represent their interest. Like in a big conference room.
- Okay, but from what? Don’t tell me, it will comes the apocalypse, and I have to thwart it!
- Yes, indeed!
My jaws dropped to the floor.
- No way! What can I do against it?
- Don’t forget, that you are not alone!
- Yes, I know, but...
- And don’t forget, you said yes!
- Oh come on! You can’t make like this in the 21th century! What is this mystery? If you would tell the truth for the people...
- If we would tell the people, what to do, they wouldn’t take it.
- Maaaaybe you could have right!
- For sure I have right. But I think, you have to go back to your reality! Youre phone is ringing!
- Oh, I didn’t even notice it! But wait, if I go now, can I speak with you after it? Maybe I need youre advice later!
- For sure! Just say: Michael, I need you!, and I will be there! But remember, only you can see me. Damons or angels are not capable of communicate with us, only human being.
- Okay, I think I am ready!
He disappered, and I took my phone call.
- Hey aunti!
- Thank god Alice, you are alive! So you choose well!
- It’s up to the circumstances!
- You came back from dead, and this is all what’s count! What happend?
- I think, I want to speak about it personally with you! What do you think? Sould we try it?
- Yes, of course! Just tell me the place and the date, and I will be there!
- Okay, not now! I will call you later that day!
- The most important thing is, you are feeling good. I let you take a rest! And Alice!
- Yes aunti?
- Happy birthday! Two times actually!
- Oh thank you, I almost forget! Bye!
Than I hung up, stood up, and got the direction back to the college. My phone ringed again.
- Hey...
- Oh my god finally! – Caro was beside herself from fear – What the hell just happened? Where are you?
- Emmm, don’t be afraid, I am in the park.
- What are you doing there?
- Slow down, I will tell you everything, when I got home.
- No way, I will pick you up, come to the nord exit, and I will be there in a few minutes!
- Okay, okay! Don’t be afraid, now it’s everything done!
- Wait what? What do you mean?
- Slow down girl, I need time too, to understand everything. I will be there in a few minutes, so hurry up!
- I am on the way, don’t worry!
I walked to the nord exit, without fear, and with such a self confidence, like never before. I knew with a proof, that I am not alone. Not anymore! And I have nothing to fear, until now. What the future will bring, I have to find out. But first, I must to know my partners in the fight. My demon and my angel. Bune and Laila.
