The Diary

Nia and Steven

8 OCTOBER 2019 :

Dear diary today I saw a strange dream ,

1912 :

Steven " Are you sure you want to do it ? "

Nia " Wherefore you ask this , it will put an end to all our woes . Thou look heavy . "

Steven " But it is risky , what if the things don't go the way thou want them to ? "

Nia " I am witch , I am a dark creature . All my life I was looking for light . Then I found you , thou art the light in my darkness . ( touches Steven's face gently ) I love you and I don't want to loose you "

Steven " I love you too Nia but you are trying to interfere with nature. "

Nia" I went against nature the moment I fell in love with you. Listen Steven I don't trust life especially not when it comes to you. You make plans for a happy future but then life stabs your back and everything is gone in a blink. I don't want to part with you "

Steven" Nothing can part us , Never . "

Nia " Except death , There are two worlds the real world and the other side . You fear death in the real world but ones you cross the boundaries of the real world and enter the other side you have got nothing to worry. I want an eternity with you. Tomorrow is full moon ,  I will cast a spell. Our souls will leave this world and enter the other side . Then even death won't be able to part us . We will live together , forever . "

Steven " It is a rough spell , it requires a lot of power . Last time you performed a rough spell you went into a long sleep . What if the same thing happens again ? "

Nia " Even if I don't perform the spell , I will die anyways . You remember last month when you were returning from the voyage, there was a tempest on seas and you drowned . If someone dies they are supposed to remain dead this is the law of nature but I went against it and brought you back from death. My father got to know he said that I was a curse on witches and he plagued me that I will have an eternity alone and I will never be able to unite with you , not in this life not in any other. He doomed us . I don't

want to take any risk. I can't even live with the thought of being separated from you. So now you have two choices either live without me or die with me . The choice is yours and trust me I will accept whatever thy will . "

Steven " I want to be with you, no matter if it is in this world or it is in other side. I want an eternity together with you . Just hold my hand and take me wherever you want . Tell me what do you want me to do "

Nia " Tomorrow is full moon we will perform the spell and as you know it is not going to be easy so be prepared . I will open the doors of other side for us . "

Steven " And what about the sacrifice ? "

Nia " As I privy you, I am not strong enough to perform the spell , I need more power . "

Steven " You will use Eliza as a bait . "

Nia " What's tidings about her , discourse ? "

Steven " She is verily in love with me . "

Nia " That's good , she is a strong witch . To perform the spell I will have to draw all the power from her body . "

Steven " She is a strong witch your magic won't work on her . "

Nia " That's where I will need you . You will make her vulnerable . "

Steven " I am in no power against her . "

Nia " Love is her weakness , we will use her weakness against her . Come hither , you will bring her here and shower her with your love . Your love will make her vulnerable . And the moment she will be at her weakest spot you will drive this stake through her heart . This is a magical stake it will draw all the power from her body . In the meantime I will use the forces of nature to perform a ritual that will make me the beholder of her power , her magic . "

Steven " Why don't you drive this stake through her heart? "

Nia " It takes us back in time, My great grand mother Rivana was a powerful witch, she used to perform dark magic . In her time she has taken a lot of lives in the name of sacrifice . My great grand father was suffering from a strange ailment , she enchanted a lot of spells to cure him , but she failed . Everyone tried to convince her that death is an inevitable part of life . But she believed that there is a life beyond death where she could keep him alive . On full moon she performed a ritual with the hope that she would draw out his soul and trap it in this world. She enchanted the inveigle spell but something went wrong and the other side got created , instead . Everyone blamed her for her husband's death , she thought that the spirits of the people she killed were cursing her . She spend years in trying to build a link between the two worlds but she failed. With time she decided to give up magic. She had two sons Adam and Alex, they both became selfish and both of them wanted all her magic to themselves . They both tried to kill each other , so that they can become the sole beholder of Rivana's magic. Rivana got very angry and she casted a spell which prohibited a witch from killing other. If a witch kills other they will have to face the curse . "

Steven " Which curse ? "

Nia " I don't know about it. "

Steven " Your great grand mother created the other side. "

Nia " By my troth she did. "

Steven " Isn't it wrong , I mean what we are doing to Eliza . "

Nia " She is not my real sister , she always thought that I was inferior to her . My dad never treated us equally . She got all his love and attention and I got taunts . I have no pity for her . Not to forget we will need her blood to perform the ritual. And without killing her I won't be able to draw her power . "

Steven " It will we dawn anon , just few hours are left "

Nia " Everything will change then except our love for each other , I love you , Steven . "

( Steven comes close to Nia, touches her face gently and rests his lips upon hers. )

Nia and Steven's face was blur . I don't know what this dream meant . These strange dreams are killing me . I don't want to sleep because every time I close my eyes I see something which is far from reality. I have flashes of Elizabeth lying on the ground in a pool of her own world. Earlier my dreams were an escape from reality but now they are just headache . I get nightmares so often that by now I should get used to them. But I am not. Nightmares chase me like shadow. I have hallucinations of basement women tormenting me. I see the little girl following me everywhere I go . I am sure now that what I am experiencing is far from science .

9 OCTOBER 2019:

All our lives , we frantically keep looking for the perfect person to fall in love with. The one person who will make our life heaven , our partner for life, our soulmate . And often , we seem to find no luck when we put ourselves out there , so desperate to fall in love . Because fate or destiny , if you may, have other

plans for us. And it will make us fall in love when the time is right , in the most unlikely of places, and in the oddest of hours. But when it does , the feeling will be out of the world .

Dear diary , you might be wondering why I am talking all about love . Well there is a reason for it. After everything that happened with Tyler I thought that I lost all my faith in love but today I met someone.  Today I woke up in a pensive mood because entire night I had the visions of Elizabeth, she was blaming me for killing her . I don't know why everyone keeps on blaming me for their death . I don't know what am I experiencing . They are not just hallucinations because time I get hurt in my dream I get hurt in reality . My hallucinations are interceding my real world. I needed someone , I needed my mother . Though my father told me that she wasn't a good lady but still she was my mother . She was always good to me. I was missing her badly. So I went to the cemetery to visit her. There I met her lady. She was in her late 60s. She was crying and talking to a grave,

Kate" Who are you talking to ? "

Old Lady" Daniel , my husband he lies in here. "

Kate" I am so sorry "

Old Lady" No its fine , I come here everyday it may sound crazy but I feel his presence over here "

Kate" No its not crazy, I understand "

Old girl" What's your name ? "

Kate" I am Kate "

Old Lady" I am Samantha, so Kate you are lonely right "

Kate" No I am not, what makes you think that I am lonely ? "

Samantha" Well a young girl like you don't spend her time leisurely in a cemetery "

Kate" My mother is here "

Samantha" Oh dear, she must be very beautiful "

Kate" Ya she was , I saw you crying , Are you fine "

Samantha" It's our 40th anniversary today, I am just missing him "

Kate" Tell me something about Daniel, Tell me how you met, it will make you feel better "

Samantha" We were in a long distance relationship for more that ten years "

Kate" Really, I have always heard that long distance relationship don't work "

Samantha" Well everyone used to ask us that, How do you guy manage ? The answer to that is very simple- when you truly love someone, distance doesn't matter . Daniel and I lived down the street from each other half of our lives without knowing it . We met in high school when our mutual friend introduced us . It was like a love at first sight for us . He had long wavy brown hair, sweet honey colored eyes, and a smile that knocked me right out. I knew that he was the one . Daniel was very shy . As he walked away I told my friend that he is cute. Someone overheard our conversation and told him. He texted me and we talked and slowly we fell in love . He told me that he was enlisted in United States Army. The following summer, he left for basic training . We used to communicate through letters . After marriage he was deployed overseas and our long distance journey continued . Yes the limited communication when he was away was tough .The ' See you soon ' were excruciating . But every time we reunited and I held him in my arms , I was convinced that it was worth it . Because every heart breaking goodbye is nothing compared to every heartwarming hello "

Kate " And then your love dies . "

Samantha " Love never dies , sweetheart . "

Well Tyler ruined my fantasy but I still hope that someday I will find the love that will awaken the little girl inside of me who believed in fairy tales.
