(Alice Wicked)

I woke up and, once again, it was another day of being Cyann. Mom …I mean Sarah, kept me home when I tried to explain… about magick, about my life, about me, Alice Wicked. The expression on her face was hysterical when she thought I was being delusional. I would have laughed if my situation wasn't so confusing. I told her that I was Alice Wicked, an uninitiated witch. She laughed and said, "Fantasies are fantasies. However you need to separate that from reality. Reality is reality because it's real, not something fake like magic."

I got angry and really mad. I can't believe she confused my beautiful magick with those stupid magic tricks. That's offensive. She didn't believe me so I showed her. I broke one of the most important and ancient laws of all gwrachod. I showed her magick…

I call to me

The wind of the

Goddess' breathe

That'll soon end in one's death

I summon fire

From the tips of my fingers

Burning oh so brightly

Hoping it will linger

I wish to feel

The coolness of the water

The source of all life

The cause of all weather

I now ask the trees

The dirt and the earth

The base of all living creatures

Warm as a winter's hearth

Last but not least

I call to me, Spirit

That ties together the 4 elements

Fading but we can hear it

Show the mortal

Right before me

The beauty of true magick

As one should see

When I called out each of the 4 elements, they appeared. Wind out of nowhere; fire on my fingers; water surrounding and enclosing us; and earth strengthening me, feeding me power from the very core that made us. I then called Spirit and my body was encased m=in purple. In fact, I was positively glowing. I was laughing and delighted that I succeed, but Sarah wasn't. Sarah was scared, horrified and she wanted nothing to do with this. Sarah wanted to get Cyann away from all this. She wanted nothing with magick. Nothing. Unlike Daniel. Where is he?

I started going to school again, after I realized that nothing will come out of waiting outside of that house. Why do I always feel a pain? Has someone cast a spell on me? No, no one is strong enough. No one… but I have decided to ask. I want to ask it to speak. The house will speak to me.

At midnight, I left my home, bringing with me only my tools. I drew a circle in the dirt with a stick. I left my circle open wide enough for me and my tools to come in. I closed the circle and felt unease, just like usual, like I'm trapped in a cage. No matter, I will continue.

"Salt, purify this circle for me" I said as I sprinkled salt over the circle that I just made. I felt more at ease, now. I closed my eyes and sang my song, my power chant that was ancient and powerful, just like my bloodline, my family. I opened my eyes and started walking clocwedd, clockwise, around my circle. Soon I felt large amounts of energy clinging to me. As soon as there was enough, I spoke in a clear voice,

Shine of the moon

Dark of the night

I call power to me

To see the light

Something is blocked

Something is gone

Aid me in searching

Before the dawn

By dawn the power

Will have gone

To where it belong

By then I will

Have what I need

My mind cleared of all doubt and seeds

Of memories appear.

When I uttered the last word, I fell. I can't see. Hope had started to disappear before I found a flicker of light. Slowly it got bigger and bigger until I saw a screen. On the screens were me, everything that I've experienced. With a shock, it finally occurred to me that these were my memories. But they can't be because I don't know that girl. That girl whom my eyes follow everywhere. The girl that's a witch but pretends not to be. She's just as strong as me, maybe even stronger. No clue, she has no clue. Then she's gone and it all stops. I saw myself being mad. I saw myself forget. I saw myself to the spell. And then everything stopped because there were no more screen to watch from. Who was the girl? Who is she? Why? Why do I feel so sad?

Sarah drove me to school. When I saw the school that Cyann went to, I was so surprised. It was my school. Cyann went to my school.? I don't even remember ever seeing her. But Daniel will be here. I'll tell him I'm Alice. My mom will be sick with worry. Mom. Daniel.

I walked the hallways of my school and it felt so familiar. The school, the classes, the desk, my locker that I've known since childhood. Only now I share what I have with Cyann. Was it my fault that I'm in her? I need to blame it all on something or someone… or else I cant live knowing its all my fault. I miss my Mom. I miss Daniel and most of all, I miss being Alice!
