Chapter 3: Chapter 3
I slowly move the curtains in a way that Liam won't see. He's standing in my drive way with his phone pressed to his ear, his left leg moving slowly while the other one balances him on his spot. He looks nervous. "Oh wow", I gasp, moving back from the window as if he saw me. "How the fuck do you know where I live?", I ask, surprised with all the stunts he's pulling.
"I've always known, I live 3 houses away",
"The fuck?", I'm shocked. "How the hell didn't I know that?", I ask, this is really confusing.
"You don't always come home after school", he says, and he's right. I always follow Blossom home just to make sure that she's alright.
"Oh yeah, you're right", I nod.
"So? Dinner?", he ask.
"Yeap, dinner sounds great. I'll be right out",
"Oh my gosh. It's finally happening, something that I've wanted my whole life. I've always dreamt for a guy to approach in any romantic way and finally it's happening. Warren isn't even here to spoil the whole thing for me. I'm not even gonna tell him, I'll make sure to hid it from him. Gosh, I can't believe it".
I'm tossing everything out of my wardrobe, "I have to look nice", I whisper to myself. I pull out some ripped denim, crop tops then a few dresses. "I have to look good", that's what runs through my mind.
Out of the corner of my eyes I see it, my favorite denim dress. I waste no time in jumping on it, stripping all my clothes to wear it. I pull out some shoes to choose from, selecting the red velvet stilettos which will match well with my red lipstick.
"I know I look good", I say as I check my reflection from the mirror in front of me.
As I step out of the house, I glance at him to find his eyes glued on me. "Wow", his mouth drops open. "You look-", his mouth remains open but nothing comes out.
"Thank you", he doesn't have to finish his line, I can guess what he's meaning to say. "You look good yourself", I reply.
"Em-, yeah", he nods. "Thank you", he pulls out his hand for me to hold on to. Just after reaching for it, he leads the way to his car, which is parked right outside my gate. It's a dark blue Polo GTI with dimmed windows, with beautiful vw dark colored rims, the car is dropped to the ground.
"Please", he says after opening the passanger door for me, silently asking me to climb into the front seat.
"Thank you", I say, blushing as I get in.
He closes the door then walks around the front of the car to his side, to occupy the driver's seat.
"I wasn't even sure you'd say yes to dinner", he says as he starts the engine.
"I don't know why I agreed", I smile, glancing at him then facing forward again.
"I'm glad you did", he smiles back.
He drives to the direction headed out of town, and I start to wonder where we going. "Where are you taking me?", I ask.
"The a beautiful restaurant just outside of town, I think you'd like it", he says, making me nod.
After what feels like a 20 minutes drive, he indicates to a gravel road on the left. The place looks like a vine yard, there's grapes all over the place. He drives on the gravel for 10 minutes then parks at some parking near what's looks a mini shopping center.
"You ready?", he asks.
I look around, admiring the place. The mini shopping center looks beautiful. The whole place looks like a park or enchanted forest, not under tress but with a clear view. On the far right there's what looks like a lake, which seems to have little boats on it. Just before it I spot the restaurant, it has windows all around it, it's like a glass house, with glass tables and chairs.
"I'm ready", I step out of the car without waiting for him to come open the door for me, I'm too excited to see the place up close.
He climbs out of the car right after me, locking the car as we walk to the restaurant.
"Welcome to Greendale Restaurant, I'm Kevin, may I help you with a table?", a guy by the door says just as we get close.
"HI, we'd like a table for 2, by the view area", he whispers the last part to Kevin.
"Right this way", Kevin smiles then leads the way. The place isn't too crowded, looks like a couple night out from what I see.
"Please", Kevin gestures for us to sit. He's placed us at the corner of the restaurant, with a clear breathtaking view of the lake, since it's getting dark, lights are lighting up at beautiful at the boats and around the lake.
"Oh my its beautiful", I breath.
"I'm glad you like it", Liam smiles.
"May I get you something to drink while you check for what you'll order", Kevin says as he places 2 menus on the table.
"A bottle of white wine", Liam says, rising his eyebrow as a question of if its fine, and I nod.
"Alright", Kevin nods then heads to the direction of the kitchen.
...
After ordering and having a nice meal of stake and veggies, with red wine this time, Liam suggests we head outside to get a closer look of the lake.
There's chairs before the lake so we sit on those.
"What did you do to Angel?", out of nowhere in our conversation about achievements he asks this question. He's facing the lake and it's dark so I can't really make out his facial expression.
I'm confused, why would he even ask me that. I thought he's way passed that and the reason he took me out for dinner was because he wanted to know me, since he likes me. Right?
"I didn't do anything to that guy", I reply.
"I checked on him before coming to your house, he's still scared, too scared-",
"Doesn't mean I did something to him", I cut in, not letting him finish his sentence.
He turns facing me, I can't really read his face but I can feel he doesn't look pleased.
"I'm gonna ask you again, what did you do to Angel?",
He's eyes flashes a grey color. Shit, shit shit shit, that's all that comes in mind. I'm screwed.
I jump up from the seat we on and yell, "Who the hell are you?", I draw my powers, ready for what he's about to throw at me.
"So you're a Faerie?", he asks with a smirk. He doesn't look surprised or scared at all.
"Who are you?", I start creating air with my powers, not in a threatening way though.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you", his eyes light up Grey to white color, they look nothing like Faerie eyes. He starts chanting some words in a foreign language and the lake water rises, creating waves.
OH. My. God. I gasp, I've never seen anything like this. His eyes are way different than what I've seen, the way he moves the water scares me. I pick up with my wind powers, making it blow a little harder. "You're a warlock", I gasp, sighing out of shock. He lifts his hands up, chanting more words, the water rises up in small particles and forming it in a huge water drop. I twist the air around me and move it straight to Liam but he shift it with water, throwing the huge drop on me, covering my head to drown me while standing. I try to twist some air but since I'm drowning and can't breathe, it's hard to control anything.
"I don't wanna kill you",
I'm struggling to breathe, he's keeping the water around my head and it's impossible to fight water. The more I fight for release, it's the more it gets harder to hold my breath.
I need to focus, focus, I tell myself as I force myself to draw my powers harder. I twist the air harder, causing all types of leaves and tree branches, small stones, the dust to twist with the air. I move it straight to Liam, hitting him hard. "Fuck!", he screams. The water around my face weakens, but he doesn't let it drop to the ground. I twist more air around him, making sure that he's inside of the twist, making it harder for him to breathe either. The water weakens again but he picks up. He starts chanting more words louder, causing more water from the lake to join the water around my head.
I can't hold my breath any longer, I need some oxygen.
My eyes burn, they say you can't cry in water but right now I am crying. I'm gonna die, I'm gonna drown to death. My hands start shaking, I can't feel my legs any more. I fall to the ground, feeling how close my death is. Then suddenly everything stops, it's dark, I can't move, I can't open my eyes. Am I even alive?
...
I'm standing in front of the mirror, mum is brushing my stiff hair into a bun. She's hurting my sculp but she keeps reminding me that being a beautiful I have to go through pain. Warren walks in wearing a tucks, looking ridiculous since he's only a 10 years old boy. He's only a year older than me but I feel like I'm the older one.
As mum brushes my hair, a younger woman walks in with dad and they stand behind Warren. Dad looks upset and mum is surprised.
"What's this Paul?", she asks.
"This is Sky and she's here for-",
"In front of the kids Paul?", mum gasps. "Are you serious?",
I start crying, I don't know why but I do.
"Get out", Sky says, her voice serious and her eyes slowing turning red. "Get out!",
"This is my house", mum starts crying making me cry even louder. Mum's eyes turn into a bright blue, causing wind to blow roughly into the house, everything around us falling to the ground.
"Emma don't, you'll hurt the kids", dad's eyes turn a dark blue color, but no magic comes from him.
"Don't you try me", Sky says. The temperature around us starts warming up, mum's crying while the wind blows, twisting all over the bedroom.
"Sky, babe, no please", dad just called Sky babe, same sweet word he uses on mum. Warren is now holding on to dad's leg, hiding his face as he cries.
The temperature rises, it get hot in a way that I'm sweating, the air around me isn't helping at all. The twister moves to Sky, dust blocking our breathing.
"Daddy", Warren cries, as he coughs trying to breathe. It's so hot I feel like I'm gonna faint.
"Why her?", Mum yells at dad. "Why?!",
"You cheated on me Emma, look at her", dad points at me. "Does she look anything close to a Faerie?",
Mum twist the air even harder, the furniture around us shaking, threatening to lift up.
I'm scared, I've never been this scared in my life.
"I've apologized, you sweared you forgive me", mum cries.
"Sky isn't here for that. I love her and I wanna be with her",
Mum screams as he hears those words. Tossing the furniture straight at dad and the dressing chair falling on Warren. The room heats up, dad is unconscious, Warren is screaming out of pain, the room is so hot I can't breathe anymore.
I turn to mum, her skin is red, she's burning. I look back at Sky, her eyes are too red for my liking.
"Mum?", I cry. She's burning, her skin is forming burnt wounds. The air around us drops, mum drops on the floor, that's when I scream.
"Hey hey, it's a dream", I feel a pair of hands shaking me. "It's a dream",
Its a dream? I open my eyes and stare at Liam's vanilla colored eyes.
I look around to find that I'm not at my house, Shit.
