7

I opened my eyes and looked around. I noticed that I was in my room, how did I reach in here? I tried to stand but my body was aching so I just lied there. I touched my neck looking for a particular necklace and I was relieved it was still there. I always felt more safe with it around my neck.

Everything that happened the night before flashed in my mind and I wished I would never woke up, the truth was very painful to deal with. I have always had hopes that my birth parents were still alive. But then everything was starting to make sense, I found the missing puzzles of my life.

I was found on the front porch of Sherry's parents house 10 years ago, the only thing I remembered was my name and birthday which was very odd. Sherry's parents took me in while they looked for my parents which was very hard since I had what they diagnosed as amnesia. They tried to treat me from what they thought was temporary amnesia but I couldn't get my memories back, so they adopted me and raised me as their own child, together with Sherry.

Since the only thing I had which was connecting me with my biological parents who I had no memories of was the necklace which was on my neck the moment I woke up at Sherry's parents porch then I wore it everyday everywhere in hope that my parents would recognise me when they see the necklace on my neck, the necklace has been a part of me since then.

I heard my room's door opening. I turned my head to see Sherry walking in. Sherry's eyes met mine and they were filled with relief after seeing that I was awake. She ran beside me and held my hand with a sad smile on her face.

"How are you? How are you feeling?" she asked me.

"I am fine now, don't worry!!" I told her.

"How can I not worry after finding my sister unconscious in an abandoned house at the abandoned village miles away from here!" she stated, concern clearly on her face.

"H-how did you find me?" I asked her.

"You told me during the call that you went to the end of the route. Luke saw the bus that you got in and after a little searching we found out that the bus was heading there so we came and look for you. Since it was raining we figured out that you must have go to look for a place to shield yourself and the only place near there was the abandoned house. We went in and baam! we found you lying down, you were soaked with mud and in a complete mess!"

"Oh!" I said looking down at my fingers. she was right, I am a complete mess.

"Here! I brought you something to eat. It's your favorite soup, I ordered it" she said motioning to the bowl on the table which I didn't even notice she was carrying when she walked in.

She helped me sitting up and handed me the bowl. I looked at the soup and right then is when I noticed how hungry I was. It felt like I starved for the whole week. I ate the whole bowl of soup so fast.

"It's amazing how you ate that fast without getting yourself chocked to death!!" she said and I laughed at that. The laugher turned into a sob and then I couldn't stop myself from crying. I cried so much that I thought I would faint. Sherry hugged me so tight and let me cry at her shoulder while she was patting my back and I couldn't be more grateful in my life. I was grateful that she was here, that she remained with me.

      *       *        *       *

Sherry gave me a bottle of water when I stopped crying. I drank the whole bottle and thanked her.

"Wanna talk about it?" she asked me and I knew from deep in my heart that I wanted to tell her. She was the only person in this world that could understand me and not accuse me of being crazy.

And then I told her. I told her everything, from my nightmares to one of them coming true exactly the same way. I told her about Betty. I told her about Kyle. I told her how I wished Britney to get hurt and then it happened exactly how I was thinking. I told her about Luke and how he dumped me. I told her about how I wished Luke's tyres to get punctured and then they did. I also told her about getting my memories back and told her everything about my past. And It felt nice to let it out though I wasn't sure how she was going to react because if it was me I would've called myself crazy.

"So, what you're telling me is that you're a witch!!??" she asked in a serious tone.

I nodded.

"Oh my God!!! So witches, wolves and vampires really exist! this is so cool," She voiced out her thoughts excitingly.

"I don't know if they all still exists until now, too many years have passed......anyway aren't you afraid? I just told you I'm a witch here!" I questioned, in shock with how she was taking it so simple.

"Are you going to hurt me!?" She asked and I shook my head.

"Then why would I be afraid? I know you can't hurt me or anyone, you are a good person. Witch or not doesn't change the fact that you are my sister Kayla, the one I grew up with. The one I know better than anyone else and the one I love," she told me and I couldn't help but smile happily at her words. Those words meant a lot more than she thought.

"Thank you Sherry!" I told her as I hugged her.

"Okay! enough of the hugs now!" she told me patting my back. I smiled and let her go. Sherry hasn't really been the one for hugs, the longest hug that we ever had must be that day. She mostly don't initiate hugs and when I do she would give me an awkward pat on the back and then push me away in less than five second or push me away before I could hug her.

"I'm really sorry about Betty but I am positive she will come around. And about Luke, I'm really sorry!! I shouldn't have said what I said before the date, I feel like I am the reason for that and...." I cut Sherry from her rambling by grabbing her shoulders and make her look at me.

"No one is to be blamed for anything. What happened between me and Luke was meant to happen," I assured her.

"Luke is an asshole for letting you go!! How dare he dumps you! He thinks he is so cool. Just wait till I get my hands on him, I will kill him," She said angrily.

"Easy there!! Just kill him after I get over him, doing it now won't be helping my case," I said and she smiled.

"What time is it?" I asked her.

"Last time I checked it was 2pm, must be around 4pm now," She answered me.

"I want to forget everything for at least this weekend if possible, let's worry about the fact that I am a freaking witch from Monday," I told her and she nodded.

I added, "Then let's have a movie marathon tonight, let's eat ice cream and junk food and watch any movies. I don't care if it's a chick flick, witchcraft or any super natural series, your choice!"

"Owkey!!!" she said with joy.

"Prepare some snacks and I'll be down there in a minute. I have to take a shower first," I said while going to the bathroom.

"Right on it," she said as she walked outside my room.

And that's how I spent the Saturday, watching vampire diaries series with Sherry. It's Sherry's favourite series. I never watched it before no matter how much Sherry insisted but that day I was the one who suggested we watched it for so many reasons.

We ocassionaly stopped to argue between Stefan and Damon who is hotter and who is a better brother. Or between Damon and Klaus who is more badass and it really helped me getting my mind off things.

On Sunday when Sherry was feeling too lazy to clean the house since we turned it into a total mess on Saturday she made me try to use my magic powers to clean. I hesitated at first but then I did it. It was as if I have been doing that all my life. I could control things easily. I even hanged Sherry on air as a punishment for eating my chocolate. Sherry made me start to think maybe having these powers wasn't all that bad.

Betty didn't call me yet and I didn't bother to call her. At least I made an effort to amend our relationship, she did nothing. She didn't even call me after receiving my voice message which I was positive she did. I thought maybe I would try to talk to her on Monday but that weekend she was one of the many things I wanted to get off my mind.

I hadn't talked to Luke too. I ignored his calls and texts the whole weekend. He texted to ask how I was feeling and that he was sorry for hurting me. I also got a single text from Kyle telling me to be strong. He must have heard from Luke about what happened and how I passed out in an abandoned house.

I also had some dreams about my parents, reminding me of who I was and telling me to be careful, not to trust anyone. Apart from that everything went well.

Monday was there and I was preparing myself to face everything I had been pushing off my mind. There was still some missing puzzle which I had yet to find. Kyle's reaction to my touch, how Britney found out I was a witch and that I was the reason for her slipping or whatever you would call it, how did she know when I myself didn't? Is she a witch too? or maybe she doesn't know anything, maybe she was just being her dramatic self to make me look bad as usual. I had to find out what was wrong with Betty too.

I opened the car door and got out. I stood facing my school and sighed. 'This is it!' I told myself. Sherry came and stood beside me in the same gesture.

"Don't worry, I am right beside you, you're not alone in this," she told me.

I averted my eyes from the front and looked at her with a smile on my face. "Thanks Sherry! you're the best sister I could ever ask for," I told her.

"You're also the coolest sister ever! couldn't ask for more," She looked at me and smiled back.

"Okay enough now... let's go!".

"Yeah, let's go".

I hope today will be better.
