Missing You, Samara Fitzgerald [top 100 books to read TXT] 📗

can get in your school. I'm 20 years old." When he said that, I start feeling a little uncomfortable. I can't believe that this guy who is causing me to get attracted to him is 3 years older than me. And then he KISSED me! Before I got to say anything, the elevator opened to this room with shelves on each wall filled with books and there was this wooden table in the middle of the room. Before we got out of the elevator, I turned to Logan.

"Nothing happened." I hissed. All he did was shrug his shoulders. We got out of the elevator and walked over to the table. No one was in here.

"I thought you said my mom and Sita was waiting for me?"

"I never said that. I said you need to go to practice." I can feel myself starting to get angry.

"Okay... And when is this ‘practice’ is supposed to start?"

"6:30." I look at my watch and it is 5:50. Now I am really angry.

"So why the hell you woke me up so early? What am I supposed to do now? Just sit here for the next 40 minutes doing nothing."

"Well, we don't have to do nothing. There is one thing." he stepped closer to me as he said that. I can feel my heart beating fast.

"You wish. I prefer nothing better. Besides, you couldn't get me even if you tried." I said as I moved away quickly to the bookshelf. I can hear Logan laughing behind me.

"Oh really?" he walks over to the bookshelf and stood beside me.

"Yep." I said as I pretend to ignore him and I looked at the shelf. Even though I walked over to the bookshelf to get away from Logan, one specific book caught my attention. The name of the book is Original Witch Secrets of Tales. I took it off the shelf.

"Hey Logan, what is in this book?" I asked. He leans over to look at it.

"Why don't you look? I can't open it, or it will burn me. Only an original witch can open it." I took it off the shelf and brought it to the table. It was a little dusty so I dust it off before I opened it. Inside, the words were written in a foreign language that I did not understand. There were pictures in there, but they look like they are supposed to symbolize something and I don't know what is.

"Do you understand any of this?" Before Logan got to say anything, this picture catches my eye. It shows a drawing of a woman and a heart in the background. This picture kind of creeped me out, with a dark hooded person also in the background, the hood covering their face. What does this picture mean? Next thing I know, I hear the elevator door open and I turn to see mom and Sita getting out.

"I see you two got here early for practice." Sita says as she and mom walked over to the table with us. Her eyes widen as she looked at the book.

"No one has ever opened that book in centuries. Mother never even tried opening it. I don't even know what is in it." mom says, shocked.

"Do any of you know what this means because I don’t?" Sita and mom looks at the pages and start reading. While reading, mom's face flushed away any color it had.

"Tell me what you just read." Sita turns to me with a grave look on her face.

"Well, this is basically saying that neither Venomar nor his people can kill you. That's good, but, there is a way to destroy you and so far, I believe Venomar knows it."

"What ways?" I asked, feeling myself getting scared.

"I don't think you need to know, Ebony."

"I don't care. Just tell me." I said, getting annoyed.

"You can get killed, from what the picture is showing, true love."

"What?" This just made it even more confusing.

"Only your true love, your soulmate, can kill you."

"The woman in the picture symbolizes an original witch and the hooded person symbolizes death. Love is a weak emotion so basically your soulmate holds your heart and life might take advantage of it. Let's just hope that this is just talk and nothing else. Or just hope you haven't found your soulmate." mom says. After that, everyone got quiet. I turned to Logan, who had a blank look on his face, as if he wasn't there.

"Let's just forget about this. Even if Venomar can't kill you, we still need to prepare for what he has prepared. We have two more days until the full moon." Sita says, and then looks over at Logan.

"Logan, are you okay?" she asked. At first he didn't say anything, but life was brought back to his eyes after Sita shook him a few times.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something. You can start." he gave us a smile, but something was telling me that he is keeping something from me... I mean Sita, He have nothing to explain to me.

 

Sita walks over to the shelf and pulled out this really thick book. It takes her to use both of her hands to haul it over to the table. When she put it on the table, it made a loud thudding sound.

"We are going through the easier spells first, then we will go over the hard ones." she says as she open the book to the first page.

"Wait... I have to go through this ENTIRE book?" I asked.

"Not all of it... Just most of it but don't worry. It should be easy for you."

"Because I am an ‘original witch’, right?" I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"No, it would be easy for any beginner." Sita says as she flipped through the old yellow pages of the book, trying to find what she was looking for.

"Here it is." she says. I walk over and look in the book. The spells almost look like poems.

"The first spell you will do is making a fire. Read the spell and when you finish, point anywhere." I look down at the book and read aloud.

"Oh warmth that comes upon the hearth

Spread throughout my body

Bring fire up from palm

And make me a hot commodity."  All of a sudden, I felt a weird feeling, kind of like a large energy within me, in my hands. I point my hand to the wall and out of nowhere, a fire started on it. I looked at my hand and I am in so much shock. I can't believe that I just did this. My hand is still glowing. Out of nowhere, I hear someone talking.

"Wow, it is true!" the person says. Startled, I turned around and held my hand in the direction I heard the voice. Once I saw it was Jessica, it was too late.

Chapter 11

The fire start going towards Jessica, but thank god she jumped out of the way. So instead of it hitting her, it hit the bookshelf, causing the books to catch on fire. Before a big damage was able to happen, mom and Sita held their hands towards it and water start hitting the books, the fire died down completely.

"I am so sorry." I said to mom and Sita. I can hear Logan chuckling, causing me to feel even more embarrassed.

"It's okay. All we need to do is work on you controlling your powers."

"I'm so sorry Ebony. I didn't mean to startle you." Jessica said, looking a little embarrassed, just like how I was feeling.

"It’s okay Jessica."  I said as I looked over at Logan, who I can tell is trying to keep himself from laughing some more, causing me to feel a little more embarrassed about the situation. I can feel my cheeks warming up, probably turning my cheeks red. Mom looks at me and then at Logan and frowned. Oh no. I know that look and I don't like it.

"Well, let us all forget what had happened. Jessica, how did you get here?" Sita asked. Jessica blushes before she says anything. Oh my gosh! I definitely know that look.  That is her ‘I'm in love’ look. Next thing I know, this cute guy with blonde hair and green eyes walks from the elevator. He had smooth pale skin and he was tall.

"I'm sorry, Sita. She was in the elevator when I got on and she was asking where you were." he has a nice Irish accent too. I leaned over to Logan.

"What is he?" I whispered.

"He’s a vampire. He's not an original, but he has the power of pain illusion. Josh projects the illusion of being in extremely intense physical pain into others minds, incapacitating them." he whispers back.

"It's good that you brought her here." Sita says. Josh nods and looks at Jessica and smiles.

"I'm leaving now. We shall meet again." he says as he grabbed her hand and kissed it. Jessica blushed some more.

"I hope so." she says as Josh got back on the elevator. Jessica almost followed him, but I stopped her.

"Jessica!" I called for her. She looked at me and then at the closed elevator door. She pouts and walks back towards me.

"Jessica, what was that?" I asked, but she didn't seem to be listening. She ignored my question.

"Ebony, I think I'm in love."

"I thought you was ‘in love’ with Adam." Jessica still looked a little dazed.

"Adam? Oh yeah. I'm over him now. Did you see Josh? He kissed my hand. What a gentleman. Also, he's a vampire, which makes him even hotter." she says. I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever."

"Sorry to interrupt, but Ebony, we have to teach you as much as we can to prepare you." Sita says.

"I'm sorry. We can continue." I said as I walked back over to the table.

"Now you need to learn to protect yourself from any creature. Logan?" Sita looked at him and nodded her head. He looked at me and gave me a small smile. Next thing I know, he began to transform into a wolf. A BIG wolf. He still looks the same, even after 5 years. He still has his dark gray and white fur and blue eyes. I can see a smile on his face as he howled. He looked at me and growled. Next thing I know, he start running towards me. Just in time, I moved out of the way before he starts transforming back to human form.

"That wasn't the kind of protecting I was talking about, but you did well." Sita says. I'm still in shock from what have just happened.

"What the hell! You are willing to kill me to see if I am able to defend myself."

"I wouldn't put it that way. I wasn't expecting for you to duck out of the way. Witches have the power of the mind. We can bring our victim extreme migrating headaches, but yours should be even more powerful."

"So, how am I supposed to do this?"

“Just treat it like an instinct. All you have to do is concentrate." mom says. She looks over to Logan.

"Are you ready?" she asked him. He nodded and walked over to the other side of the room. I was expecting him to transform again, but instead, he stuck out his claws and start running towards me, his eyes glowing. I stuck my hands up towards
