Chapter 63: SARAH

“Awww, so cute” she sings and makes kissy faces at him “look at you feeding her, because you loooovee her” she sang. He put the fork down and launched at her but she saw it coming and had already moved out of the chair to avoid him. One thing she knows for a fact is that if he catches her, all there will be is pain. She decided to sit across from where he stood to make sure he can’t reach her. She went back to eating her chips as she listened in to their conversation. She always loved Sarah, she was brutally blunt and Mikah hated her so she loved the way only she could properly bring him down a peg. She always looke fabulous and gave her honest advise, she never asked for any but appreciated it all the same.

“So will I need anything to start practicing?” Aja was asking.

Sarah shook her head as she shoved her hand in Leny’s chip bag before responding, ignoring her protest. “No, all you need is a quit peaceful place where you can focus. No distractions” she pointed at Calian as she said the last part, who furrowed his eyebrows obviously not liking liking what he heard but staying quiet anyways.

“This is important because, right now its like you are exposed. Anyone with even an ounce of magical knowledge will be able to know of the extent of your powers. The stronger the power, the clearer and brighter the color of the aura. You don’t want people knowing your hand right? You want to have a card up your sleeve, incase of anything” she finished matterf of factly as she shoved a few more chips in her mouth after Leny decided to just place the bag between them.

Aja nodded her head, she was excited to learn whatever she could from Sarah. She could tell she knew what she was talking about and her no nonsense attitude actually makes it easier for her to ask questions for some reason.

“So once I show you how to work on hiding your aura. You will practice whenever you can as much as possible, on your own. While you are with me I will be teaching you other things” Sarah said.

“Does that mean you’ll be staying for a while?” Calian asked

“I’ll stay as long as I can” she looked at Aja intently “That means that while I am hear we will be training everyday, no off days. Once I am gone, it won’t be easy for me to come back to train more, you’ll have to use the information I give you and keep learning on your own. That how most witches learn anyways” she said.

“Does…that mean I am part witch?” Aja asked her.

Sarah sighed “Not necessarily” she said and stopped debating of wether to continue or not. She doesn’t want to overwhelm this girl more that she is already. And she wants to teach her as much as possible, that will be easier if she is not stressed out about things she has no control over. She felt Ajas hand on her arm and realized she was thinking for too long and forgot about everyone around her. She looked up at her as she spoke to her “I want to know whatever I can, please don’t leave anything out because I might not be able to handle it” she said. Sarah is really starting to like this girl, its not even what she says, its the look in her eyes. The determination she sees will get her far, she might be able to do what is needed of her when the time comes. She nodded her head before continuing.

“The original witch was the half sister of Goddess Lycia” she started and was not surprised at the confusion and shocks on any of their faces. The history of where witches originated isn’t as popular as the werewolf or even vampires past. “She was banished to earth as you know, but she couldn’t accept that she would no longer have any powers. And she had similar affinity to the earth and nature as her sister. So she started experimenting on ways to gain powers through the practes they used to channel their powers. Thats why witches are able to use the elements, this talent was passed down through generations after she passed, we can channel nature and it to our advantage.” She looked back at Aja “in my opinion, you are not a descendant of witches but of the goddes herself, legend says she gave some of her powers to one of her children before they both were sent to earth and later procreated themselves. Her daughter specifically- Artemia was given some of her powers and that power was passed down to her descendant. Some descendants were born with immense powers while others were born with non at all. Over time her bloodline was lost….so we thought. But it turns out they were just protected and in hiding in order to protect these powers” Aja seemed confused so she stopped to let her ask a question if she needed.

“But.. if these power are strong, coming fromthe goddess herself, why did it need to be hidden, wouldn’t they be able to protec themselves” Aja asked.

“Well, like I said some had powers but others had none. Rumor has it that her power actually stops presenting itself over time for some reason and they had a prophecy that stated, the next to be born with these powers would be a female descendant born of the Alpha of that pack. Problem was the pack was only able to give birth to boys for decades” she finished.

The last part triggered a memory Aja didn’t realized she had causing her to get lost in thought. “Aja?” Leny asked noticing her freaked out expression, she moved closer starting to worry but Calian quickly checked on her “Hey, you okay?” he asked as he touched her face. She looked up at him and then back at Sarah “My pack was know for only having boys, My father told me once that I was special, I was born to be alpha of my pack” she finished confused “How can I be alpha? Alpha are only men, right?” she asked.

Sarah smiled at her it was the first time Leny has seen her be gentle “That is true, there has only ever been one other female Alpha recorded throughout history…and that was the first female alpha-Artemia” Aja still looked confused.

“How do you know all of this? we had a hard time finding anything about my packs history” she asked.

Sarah smirked “i’ve been alive for a very long time, alot of the things I know have been first hand experience” she said before taking a gulp of the glass of water on the counter infront of her. She then stood up and turned to Aja “ now are we done eating so we can get to work.?” she asked looking up at Calian who was lost in his own thoughts, he nodded his head at her in response.

Sarah capped her hands “Okay, so we will need an open space, probably outside so she can touch the grass or dirt. Either or” she said.
