Hunter
They say a witch and warlock our suppose to ascend and gain there full powers when they reach fifteen but I am different from all witches and warlocks. Most have a white, grey or black aroa around them but mine is red and no one not even my aunt Cassandra knows what that means but all my parents and aunt knows is that I am powerful. I have been preforming magic since I was an infant and what my family doesn't know is that I ascended when I was ten but I kept it to myself. Why you might ask? Well many of my teachers will not train someone outside of the coven they identify with and since I am a red warlock I doubt anyone will want to to train me.
For the past five years I have been reading books and learning what I can from my parents and teachers. I must admit I'm more powerful then my parents I have recently learned I can create a place that only I can travel to and no one can find me. I must admit I'm pretty pleased with myself.
Well today is my fifteenth birthday and I'm suppose to ascend but I will have to pretend to do it. I've been practicing but something feels off today. My body feels weird and jumpy and I feel something big is going to happen.
As the day goes by I come home from school and my parents our waiting for me with my aunt Cassandra.
"How was school honey?" My mom said.
"It was fine. How was your day?"
"Good baby. How do you feel?"
"Jittery " and I really did. "I'm starving." I said as I walked over to the fridge and began to rummage through it. I grabbed lunch meat, bread, juice, chips, cookies and even some fruit. I made three sandwiches and pilled a plate full of chips, cookies and fruit. I sat down and began to eat.
"You okay Hunter?" My aunt Cassandra said.
"I'm just hungry and jittery." I said as I finished my last sandwich.
As the night went on and we opened gifts, ate dinner and cake my body began to hum. I felt the urge to go outside. "I need to go outside." I said. I wiped the sweat off my forehead.
I'm not sure who said what or what they said but I walked outside and all of a sudden the pain hit me. I felt my bones begin to break and I screamed in pain. After what felt like forever the pain stopped.
"That isn't possible. Cassandra how is that possible?" My mom said.
"I'm not sure Rebecca. Our you okay Hunter?"
I went to talk and a growl came from me. What the hell. I looked down and saw a paw. A black and white paw. I felt my self begin to panic. "Hunter thing of something that makes you human."
I thought of my body and I felt my bones begin to pop again. I stood up and looked down. I was naked.
'We should have fun.' A voice said.
"What the hell. Who said that?"
'Scar your wolf '
"Probably your wolf." Cassandra said. All of a sudden my dad walks out and hands me a blanket. "We need to talk Hunter. Please get dressed."
'I want to run.'
"Not now." I spoke allowed and ran up to my room. After getting dressed I found everyone jn the kitchen.
"Will someone explain to me what happened?"
"Sit down son." My father said.
"I'll explain." Cassandra said and she held her hand out and file appeared. "Hunter you our part warlock and part wolf and from the looks of it a powerful alpha wolf."
"But my parents our not wolves."
"No we our not." My mom said.
"No they our not but your real parents our. There names our Ryan and Katherine and they miss you very much."
I felt my heart break. I'm adopted and no one told me. Looking at parents I said "were you ever going to tell me?"
My mother is crying and my father couldn't look at me. "We all were going to tell you before your sixteenth birthday because we knew you would get your wolf but you shifted early and I don't know why. I need you to listen Hunter. Your birth parents didn't want to give you away but they had no choice. An evil witch names Galia wanted to use you and your twin brother."
Before she could finish I got out of the chair I was in and began to pace back and forth. I'm already a freak because I'm the first red warlock/ witch now I'm a wolf whose adopted and has a twin.
"You all lied to me." I screamed and the light above us broke.
"Calm down son." My dad said while trying to grab my shoulder. I looked at him and he flew backwards.
"Hunter there is a letter from your birth parents with photos of your family. Just because you adopted doesn't mean none of us doesn't love you because we do." Cassandra said while putting the file near me. "Why don't you look through this and when you our ready we can talk."
I grabbed the file and ran up to my room. I was so angry.
About a half hour later I grabbed the file and the first photo I saw was of my real family. It was a family photo and they looked happy. My real parents and thee six kids. I knew exactly who my twin was because he looked just like me. I felt anger pulse through me and even scar was angry. They kept them all but us. Going to my closet I grabbed my bag and began to pack my things. Clothes, blanket, pillow, computer, books and all my toiletries. No one knew but I could Teleport and that is what I did.
I decided I would make my real family pay for giving me away. In the folder was information on there location so I teleported there and cloaked myself. I was in the forest near there home and began to form a plan.
