Chapter 4: New Horizons
It was end of their first semester. Everybody was happy and feeling relaxed. Students were going back to their homes to enjoy their holidays. Christie was also packing her luggage to visit her home. Her father had sent their driver to pick her up. Harmoine and Lulla were also going to visit their families. They hugged each other and separated for their own journies.
Christie was sleeping on the back of the car. Suddenly,there was a jolt and Christie's head bumped in the front seat. The car ran off the track and hit a tree on the side of the road. Driver checked on Christie and finding that she was alright,he got down to check the damage. There was a tree on the road to block it. The driver missed that and that resulted in mishap. Christie also got down the car. The damage was done . As driver was gonna call for some help,there was a scuffle and the mobile was captured by a hooded man. There were two guys,in fact. The driver was Christie's father loyal man. When he saw those two men,he panicked and asked Christie to seek help. In the mean time,he pushed one guy and punched the other. But it was a fight one vs. two. And he was soon overpowered. Christie took a baseball bat from the car to hit the hooded guy but her wrist was caught by another hand. She tried to look but the way her wrist was being twisted,she was unable to look behind her. She screamed in pain. As she was about to pass out with pain,there came a fierce flow of wind and the hand that was twisting her arm, loosened. It was like a dust storm. Everyone's eyes were full with dust. Only screams could be heard. Thankfully,those screams were not of Christie's. After a while , everything was quite. Christie opened her eyes but there were only she and her driver. Everyone else was gone. Christie looked into the trees beyond and she again caught a glimpse of Mr. Mysterious. What the hell was happening???
It has been two days since her arrival back at home. The atmosphere in the house was quite foggy. She was finding as if her father was trying to say something but was unable to say. On the very third night, Christie had a nightmare. She saw the same cave in her dreams as if it was calling her. She awoke and felt goose bumps on her skin.
Again that night mare... She didn't see those ones in her hostel...
In the morning,when she got up , it was already past eleven. Peter came to tell her that her father father was waiting in the study. After doing her morning chores,she went to see her father. He was video conferencing. So she waited. After his meeting, his father came to her and hold her hand. She was having some heavy feeling in his heart after the incidence and his father's behaviour was only adding upto it. He spoke with his deep eyes boring into her," Chris dear,today is the day ,I always wished never came. Christie wondered what he was trying to say. "Chris,you are a loveable child,only reason why I am still alive. You have never asked about your mother. As a child,you have always being so considerate. and I am proud of that. But sweetie, time has arrived to know your roots. " He held her hand tightly. "Chris,we don't belong to this world. At the time of your birth,things were do complicated in our world that I was forced to leave everything behind so that I can shelter you. You are my whold world child." Christie could see unshed tears in his eyes. But still she was unable to process the whole thing. Seeing her blank expressio, her father told her that they were witches and in the blink of eye,they both were standing infront of that very cave in the forest. He pointed his finger and the wall moved. When they were about to enter that cave, Christie pulled her father to stop. She pinched herself and seeing her reaction,her father chuckled. Christie rolled her eyes and asked him,"Papa, I am really unable to process whole this situation. How could we be that witches? Where are we going? What about our home,your business? and where is Peter? There were so many questions that were natural thing under those circumstances. Her father hold her hand and said," Dear, just hold my hand. Everything is well controlled and Peter is one of us. He will take care of everything in my place. "She wanted to speak again but he shushed her. Out of the air,there was some magic whirlpool in front of them. They stepped in it. Christie felt heaviness in her head. Her vision was getting blinked and the moment she was going to pass out,they were standing in front of a vast castle and there were guards standing up there. When they saw her father, all the guards immediately bowed their heads and shouted joyously in unison," Our king,our saviour has come." This was really hard for Christie to digest and as usual,once again she blanked out.
