“ IN THE WITCHE’S CASTLE… ”

☘️ Chapter 32 ☘️

“I have been noticing your closeness with Matilda lately. It’s been two weeks and it all looks like a year. Seems she’s more special to you than anyone else. ” Mother asked me.

I smiled. I know where she’s heading to.

” You’re over thinking, mother.”

“Oh! I guess. So tell me, what’s so special about her to you? ”

” She’s a good friend. When I thought I couldn’t do anything, when I stopped believing in myself, she made me to keep believing that I can still do it. ”

” I can cast a spell is all because of her, mother. Professor Eva once said, magic isn’t all about rush, it’s time-steady, Matilda made me understand those words. And more of them I’m yet to find out. ”

She hummed, smiling.
” I don’t want it to look like I’m being so inquisitive over your closeness with her but, I was expecting such closeness would be with Gloria.”

And that is where she’s heading to. Matilda was right about one thing…

Being popular doesn’t mean you’re so strong, it only gives you the respect you deserve.

I can see that’s the respect Gloria is earning.

Seems like mother finds much interest in her than anyone. Apart from the fact that I am her daughter-in-law, she still has that part of love for her.

As usual, I only smiled.

“Gloria has been nice to me from the start. And yes, she’s been there for me a lot of times but… She’s not to be compared with Matilda. I just prefer Mat and I don’t know why. ”

” But why do you ask? ” I inquired.

” Nothing. I was only thinking. ” She shrugged.

I don’t wanna believe my thoughts but… I think mother doesn’t buy the idea of me being with Matilda.

I don’t know why everyone still thinks she’s that same girl who walked to the castle three years ago.

Maybe they’re just not seeing what I see in her or vise versa.

I could see Matilda from afar as she stood waiting for me. I looked at mother and I knew she too had noticed.

“My sisters keeps telling me how you improve with your powers. Keep up the good work, Lora. I’m proud of you. ” She said and I only blushed.

I wish mother could understand why I so much trust Matilda. I couldn’t have been in this position if not of her.

And trust me, I won’t blame her if she still isn’t comfortable with me being with Matilda. Maybe, a prove can only change her mind.

“Thank you. I promise mother that I won’t let her down.”

She nodded. ” Okay. Let’s not keep your friend waiting. ”

She said while I turned to look at Matilda who offered me a wide smile and a wave.

I smiled, waving back at her.

“See you around then.” She left.

“Hi,” she greeted, coming forward to me.

“Hi,” I greeted back.

“Hope I didn’t …interrupted?”

“No, not at all. Are you ready for the next class? “I asked.

” Yes! ”

We laughed.

The next class… Is one of my favorite class. Especially when it has to be with Professor Shakes.

“Come on, let’s go.”

No spell today. It was just a magical mirror at our front.

We all stood in a queie, one by one we’d walk close to this mirror and it’d read through our minds.

It’s funny because nothing is hidden from this mirror. I mean, whatever you’re thinking will be opened!

We couldn’t stop from laughing at what others were thinking. Some could even think they were still little, they had this childish thoughts still in their minds.

It got to Gloria’s turn. I stood behind her and Matilda stood behind me.

She stared hærd at the mirror to let it read through her mind. Whatever she was thinking played on the mirror.

I was surprised.

Why would she be thinking of that?

But right now, it doesn’t matter to think about it.

Now, it’s my turn.

I walked forward, staring right at the mirror. I can recall not thinking about anything. But as I stood right there, something I wasn’t thinking played on that mirror.

Something terrifying, something I wish not to see anymore. My darkest nightmare, right at my front, I watched it happening.

The once cheering hall grew quiet. As in, like a cemetery. My heartbeat rose, beating faster against my chest that it was impossible for me to breath.

No … No… Not now!!

“Lora…!”

That’s the echo of my name sounding and I don’t know who in particular it was coming from.

I couldn’t think anything straight. What was going on in that mirror… Is all my darkest nightmares.

Professor Shakes said something and it all disappeared. I gasped. Tears had already made it’s way down to my cheeks.

Not again…

I don’t think I’m ready for it ..

Matilda took me by my arms and out of the hall. We made a stop at the entrance door, looking at me with so much curiosity like… What just happened…?

Honestly, I really don’t know. I can’t even explain it. Whatever happened in there, was all a mistake.

“What happened? What was that?” She turned her curiosity to words.

“I wasn’t thinking about that. I didn’t have it in my mind, it just showed up. I swear. ”

I sniffed, blinking.

“No, you weren’t thinking about it, it’s always in your mind that’s why the mirror was able to see it. ” She sighed softly. ” What happened, what does it mean?”

“It’s my dreams, my nightmares. The future. ”

Her eyes w¡dened in surprise and shock, and I understand.

Yes, my nightmares that will end up being the future. But… I’m I ready?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I laid on my bed thinking about earlier. Nothing good seems to be happening about my dreams.

I waited for evening to approach before I left for Matilda’s secret room. Luckily, she was there in time getting things ready for the night practice.

As soon as she saw me, she stopped what she was doing.

“Still thinking about professor Shakes class?” She asked.

I nodded.

She came to hold my hands, ” Don’t let it get to you. You’ll only end up believing in that. And that… Is nonsense, okay? I don’t believe the war will end up with the hunters winning, I believe in the future you’ll change. So, get those thoughts off with.”

I blinked hærd, pushing the tears back.

” We’ve got practice to perform.” She said before leaving for what she was doing.

“ IN THE WITCHE’S CASTLE… ”

☘️ Chapter 33 ☘️

💕 Lora 💕

Matilda and I sat at a secret place I discovered two days ago.

We were just resting from the brief play we had together. It’s been so long I last had this moment.

Then she laid flat on the grass while I kept sitting, my both hands were behind for support, but our eyes were fixed up to the sky.

For a moment, we sat in silence.

” Mm-hmm. I just remembered something.” I said breaking the silence and drawing Matilda’s attention.

“What is it?” She anxiously asked.

“It’s concerning about professor Shakes class. ” I said and she slightly frown.” I’m not talking about what happened to me. ” I defended trying to make her know it’s totally not about me.

The frown disappeared.

“It’s concerning what Gloria was thinking.”

She scoffed, chuckling.

I looked at her but she still stared up. She seemed not to bother about it.

Not that I’m actually bothered or somehow… No. I’m only thinking that it’s really not the right time for her to think about something like that.

Yet, Matilda seemed not to care about it.

Well, everyone wishes for something good. Maybe, that’s just her wish.

“You know, you aren’t the only one thinking about that.” She said.

* Really? *

“Everyone kinda envy her since professor Shakes class. Well, it’s really not something you should think about, it’s what she wants. ”

I nodded..

” What do you want? ” I asked her and she turned to look at me.

” Me? ” She asked back. ” Nothing. I only want to be a great Witch like priestesses Nyk and to serve whoever becomes the next high priestess. ”

I smirked.

” And you? ” She asked me.

” Everyone knows what I want. I want Justice between the hunters and the demons. I want the war to end with the demons winning. And of all, I wanna go back home. ”

She had been smiling all through but the moment I made my last statement, her expression changed.

I held her hands, ” It’s not like I’m leaving today, I’m only saying that I miss home.” I released my hold from her hands, staring back up.

” When I lost my village, it took me weeks to accept my new home with the demons. And now I’ve accepted them as my family, it’s difficult for me to let go. It’s only three weeks and it’s all like three years. ”

” I left home three years ago. Since then, here is my home. No one loved me, everyone saw me as a devil. My mates all detest me, I had no friend. I can’t remember the last time I ever thought about my home. ” She spoke with pains.

She sighed deeply.

” I’m sorry. ”

She shook. ” You’re making it looks like you are them. There’s nothing to be sorry about, it’s not your fault. ”

” No, it’s not. You don’t deserve any of this. The hatreds, the intimidations, all of them, you don’t deserve it. I didn’t know why but I think I could feel your pains, the anger, the sorrows, the loneliness. But then, I got to know that I can feel all this is because we’re connected. You might not understand but it’s the truth. ”

She sat up, staring at me with her already w-t eyes.

I had to guess I just created a portion of happiness in her. She doesn’t deserve any of that…

I meant the words…

She hugged me tight, pouring out as much tears as she can offer.

“I’ve always believed I was born to be hated. I’ve never thought I’d meet someone like you, I didn’t believe that someone could see me so different from the way they saw me. Thank you, Lora. I don’t know if I can find someone like you in this life. ”

I held her tighter. ” You don’t have to go searching for one, you have one already.” I said and we laughed in-between the hug.

If anyone could see what I see in her…

“So,” I started, breaking the long hug and we stared at each other.

“So…?”

” Nevermind. I’ll keep it to myself.”

“Lora?!”

“No, I’m not telling you. ” I insisted.

She held my left hand, giving me this pleading gaze. I know Matilda a lot, she can do whatever it takes to know but I won’t tell her.

Maybe, not now.

Maybe, that’s just the best way to avoid something bad happening.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( Night )

I just returned from my practice with Matilda and I needed to rest.

Yes, I said I needed to rest but, I wasn’t feeling sleepy at the moment so I stared at the ceiling instead, awaiting whenever it decides to come get me.

My mind kept pounding on what Gloria was thinking four days ago in professor Shakes class.

I wasn’t thinking about this until today, when I was with Matilda at my secret place.

But why would she be thinking about it?

Is it because of how mother trusts her?

Or because everyone thinks she’s better than anyone?

Why?

I hummed, turning my gaze at the window.

When she had thought that, she didn’t feel ashamed or concerned that we all saw what she was thinking.

She looked proud and happy for that.

Not that I’m actually jealous about her, no. I’m only saying it isn’t time she thinks about being ordained…

And when I say that, I meant… It’s too soon to think about being ordained as the NEXT high priestess.

Maybe, it’s all because the witch sisters trusts her?

Or…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Or what…?

Keep reading to find out…
