Female Sorcerer.

A visit to my parent's grave.

Ariella.

I wake up from sleep after having lots of thoughts before sleeping. About the floating woman, the chants I heard yesterday, and what Arnold said. Aunt Ashley comes and sits beside me.

'Has anyone in school taunted you about drugs?' Aunt Ashley asked concerned. She continues, 'Cause I feel it's Rick that caused it.'

'Rick? Who's Rick? 'I asked confused.

'Rick is a bully at school and he leaves behind the railway station. But don't worry, I'll tell you later. You have to go to high school.' Aunt Ashley said.

'Okay, okay.' I say standing up from my bed and go to the bathroom.

I arrive at school and once again, I land in a Chemistry class.

Mr. Johnson, the Guidance Counsellor, sends for me. Nadia escorts me to the door of his office and leaves as soon as I enter. Mr. Johnson is a nice man who asks me how I feel. He believes that I took drugs that night. He even asks me who gave me the drugs. But I don't blame him. Not everyone is like Aunt Ashley. He asks me about any new updates and because I cannot trust anyone, I refused to disclose any information. I leave his office afterward.

After school, I go home and after having a shower, I lay on my bed to catch some sleep. I hear a sound at my window and I see Glenn. He's going to break the pot at my window just like he did before. He hits the pot and I put my hand under the pot. The pot begins floating above Glenn's head that he didn't notice it. He diverted my attention and the pot fell and broke. Glenn said he'll use his savings and get another.

Glenn tells me about his research on the Black Queen. He tells me how she has supernatural abilities and rules Blackwood. He tells me to go to the library with him but I have an appointment with Doctor Martinez. Even Jeremy texts whether we could hang out but health comes first.

Doc. Martinez asks me whether I recall anything. And I say my dog. She smiles happily and says that good. I don't tell her anything else about the blackout I had and the rest.

'So how's school?' Doc asks.

' It's fine and I love Chemistry.' I reply.

' That's great! Your mom will be happy to hear that.' The doctor says.

She apologizes for bringing my mom into this but it's okay.

After the checkup, I go to my parents' grave. I fall on the floor and burst into tears. 'I'm all alone, to discover mysteries Mom and Dad. Even though I don't remember you, I wish you were here.' I say to myself crying.

' You're not all alone Ariella. I'm with you.'

I turn and see Nadia behind me.

'How did you know I was here? ' I asked cleaning my tears.

' That's because you always come here on Thursdays to see your parents and you take Glenn and me along. You know your parents were like our parents too.' Nadia says.

' How were my parents?'

' They were jovial people. Your father helped us with assignments and he was super intelligent. Your mother was the best. She thought us how to stand up to bullies like Steve and Ava.'

Suddenly, a breeze blows us and we close our eyes cause the wind carried dust. When I open my eyes, it's dark. Very dark!

'How did it become dark all of a sudden?' I rhetorically ask.

'Oh no, he's here.' Nadia says breathing hardly.

' Who's here? What's wrong? ' I ask.

A black coat just appears but nobody was wearing that coat. It was just there. I remember how the pot floated this afternoon and I wonder whether it's me that's doing this.

Nadia says, 'I have been doing what you said. Don't harm her.'

The coat says something and Nadia falls on the floor and loses consciousness. I go to check up on her when I hear the coat speak.

' Nobody will save you now. ' The spirit says.

Another guy suddenly appears. I remember something but once again, my brain has a blackout. But that guy was the one I saw at the door looking at me on my first day back to school.

He says, 'nulla facilisi cras fermentum.'

A bright ray of light appears and the coat begins to disappear. It screamed before it vanished.

'You... You were the one at the doorway, right? ' I ask.

' Yes, I am.' He replies.

He drags my hand and puts me on his motorbike. I tell him that I have to help Nadia but he says that she knew when she got herself into this.

' Into what? What's going on? Who are you? ' I ask getting angry that he refused me to help Nadia claiming that someone is after me.
