《Rejected Mate》Chapter 8: Jacqueline

She didn't say anything back to me. So I knew my answer.
"Why run away from a family that understands you. "
"The thing is I was different from everybody. when I was born I was an outcast to everyone. so as growing up, I was treated differently I had to learn on my own even though there was one person that taught me their ways. The coven leader forbids anyone to teach me anything. So one of the elders of the coven went against them and taught me everything there is to know. But days went to weeks and weeks went to years I couldn't take the torment anymore. "
"No, you're not there anymore and you don't have them. you have me and serephina. you also have Corvina."
She smiled and hugged me
"No one has ever cared about me so much as you have. Why. Why me. What makes me so different from everyone else in this town."
"You really want to know ill tell you. You didn't care if I answered your questions back or not. You were friendly. You gave me a home when I needed one and a job. And I'm grateful for it all. That's what makes you different. Your kindness to others." again she smiled and hugged me and I saw tears come from her eyes
"Now we're gonna have to talk about you."
"What do you mean? We just got done talking about me."
"Not that. I'm talking about your necklace. Do you realize who that necklace belongs too?"
"It belonged to my mother but she's dead. My father gave it to me on my 12th birthday. I've been wearing it since. "
"And you haven't taken it off have you. "
"No why. "
"The same exact answer I'm going to give you. You're a witch."

I didn't know what to say all I could do was stare at her. But I had to say something.
"Wait you're saying I'm a, I'm a witch." she just nodded
"What does this necklace do?"
"It holds your power until you are ready."
"Ready for what."
"To let your powers out. To be free. to be who you really are."
"Yeah, and how does that work do I just take the necklace off or something." I was frustrated she told me something nobody thought they would ever hear but I heard this piece of information and I don't know how hot react
"Yeah actually no. There's a ritual that you have to do. And if it all goes well then there's no problem getting your powers." I was confused as hell. if I am a which, why do I have to do a ritual to open my powers? in some way ill just see what happen.
"When will this happen?"
"When you stable. Since your weak, you can't do the ritual. It'll just make you even weaker."
"Then how long would you say."
"Give me three days. The first day for ingredients and gathering materials, the second day is to find a ritual spot, the third day makes sure your healthy and cleansed and ready for the next day."
"You sure have everything down don't you? "
"I knew you were a witch. I just needed you to tell me your story on how you got those scars, but I did know that you didn't know that you were one."
"Why didn't you say anything? probably if I would've told you about this along long time ago but I don't know maybe in my head I was thinking that you wouldn't have believed me. want to know something els. a year after giving me the gift. my father became a drunk. I don't know if it's because he gave me that necklace and it reminded him of her or he just doesn't want to deal with me anymore so he drowned himself in his Sorrows."

"Do you know that belongs to the most powerful witch on this earth? nobody has seen your mother or that necklace in over 100 years. "
"What are you talking about 100 years?"
"Your mother ran away because she fell in love. She's the most powerful of them all. she was supposed to be the next coven leader. I would have ran away to if I fell in love but I ran away because nobody wanted me there. The thing is when she ran away nobody heard from her, nobody saw her in those hundred years. And then one day some man came to the coven and told all the witches that your mother was dead. she passed away protecting you."
"why would she do that. why."
"Because your mother wasn't any ordinary witch. She was the next moon goddess. and you're the next heir to the throne, and I know you know that because when you told me your story you told me like you've known all your life. even though you read books and when you mention the moon goddess. You should have seen your eyes light up at the mention of her."
"what do you mean? "
"you know what I'm saying. She's your mother, the moon goddess. she came to you didn't she." It's like she just pushes me into a brick wall and that brick wall hurt.
"she came to me while I was in a coma. nobody knows that."
"I'm a witch she's a witch but she's the moon goddess. everybody knows that she will contact anybody especially a loved one. sooner or later she would've contacted you. But now it's time to open your powers and time for you to learn."
I cried and cried. how can this be no this is not supposed to happen to somebody? but this happens to me and I knew it when I woke up from the minute I woke up from a coma. my mother came while I was asleep and told me what I needed to know but there is so much I still need to learn. My mother is the moon goddess and I am her heir!
I was so happy. Yet so sad.
Happy to where I couldn't make a sentence anymore and I couldn't stop crying.
I was sad because my mother only told me so little. And then I moved to a place where there are people that understand me.
there are supernatural beings here and I'm prepared to come out.

Nowhere to Run
Nina is a young priestess that just started her journeys in the Highlands, in a faraway land. But everything falls apart when greater forces are scheming and unknown men are suddenly after her. She will have no choice but to resort to her wits, make unexpected allies, and navigate her way through unforgiving lands in order to survive. Will she be up to the task? Greetings, reader! First of all, thank you for taking an interest and read my story. This is a story I've been working through all my life. But since I'm a first-time writer, I wanted to start with something small. This is just a small part of something much greater that hopefully one day I'll be able to translate into words as well. I will try to make it interesting as possible but please bear with me. Please understand that English is not my native language, I worked really hard to write in English the best I could. So please if you find any typos and grammar errors let me know. I'll try to upload new chapters as soon as I can. Although I had originally planned to deliver a chapter a MONTH, I think the real estimate would be a chapter EVERY 3 MONTHS since I also have to earn the daily bread. Cover picture made by me. The background picture is from Google but I modified it enough from the original. The story is also available on Wattpad, Inkitt, Scribblehub, and Webnovel.
