A Witch's Life: Great Discoveries (Journey to Destiny series #1)

CHAPTER 11: My Fallen Angel

MELANIE decided to show me something different today. She transported me to a cave. We weren't actually physically there, we were travelling as our ghostly forms, apparently a trick I have always had up my sleeve. Back at the University I was still unconscious but I have never been more awake. Melanie has been an amazing mentor. While I sleep she has taught me how to phase, as in properly phase with control and now I can ghost. I am missing out on time with my friends but I sure as hell am not missing out on learning. I finally feel like I am figuring out who I am. I'm getting the memories back slowly but at least I get to watch motion pictures while I sleep rather than stare into the darkness. Melanie says that back at the University a couple of doctors have been sent in trying to cure me and Harley hasn't left my side for a single second. I feel bad, I really do, I just can't seem to actually wake up. I get to this point where the light shines but then it is gone and I'm back to gaining memories and being taught by Melanie.

"Someday, in the near future you are going to be extremely hurt by the person who lives here and there is nothing you can do to change that. I shouldn't be telling or showing you any of this but I think it would be good for you. Before I continue you need to know that this person is already in your life and no I can't tell you who it is. You have to trust me. It messes with time and I can't afford you to be changing anything that is prophesised to happen. Everything needs to be carried out as planned," Melanie gives me this serious look and I feel like I am being grounded.

"So why show me?" I question and she sighes. "Because I want you to know what you are going to be dealing with and when I show you I don't want you to take it the wrong way. I want you to be cautious and aware of the people around you. This isn't going to be the only person in your life that shall hurt you but being aware can save not only your life but also the lives of the people around you. I wasn't aware, I thought of myself as invincible and now I am dead and a few of my siblings ended up dying along with me so I don't want this to happen to you. Melody, you need to know that you aren't God. People will die because eventually everyone does die, immortal or not so I need you to know that if someone dies for you it isn't your fault. They chose that path and that is that," her eyes are filled with worry and she looks pained as if unwanting for something to occur.

"What aren't you telling me?" I enquire but she says what she usually says, "You aren't ready to know," and that is that.

The cave is dimly lit with lanterns and contains funiture like an actual home. When I look at the mouth of the cave I see that it has a sheem to tell me that it is a window. The moon is high and the pine trees stand tall to touch it like a competition. In the middle of the cave is a couch which is hooked into the sealing by rope. It doesn't touch the ground as it gently sways. The plush red material bringing even more excitement to the seat. Opposite the window is the kitchen which is small but has a breakfast bar. Bookshelves crowd the wall to my left as I face the kitchen, all glistening and singing to be read. To my right is a staircase that has been craved from the wall that goes up to the bedroom which is located just above the window. You can see it from where I stand, there is no wall. A large king bed with black bedding and a set of drawers.

I look at Melanie and she knows what I thinking. I want to explore this place to get more information on this person who shall hurt me. She gives me a nod and I fly up the staircase. A bedroom says a whole lot about a person. There are no posters or a mirror or anything else a part from a bed and a set of wooden drawers. The bed is neat, no crinkles. Could be a clean freak or haven't slept in the bed in a while. I look in the set of drawers and not much clothing is in there, mainly a couple sets of boxers, some colonge, board shorts and a V-neck.

      1)   It's safe to assume that this person is a male.

I rush back down to the kitchen and start with the fridge. There is no electricity so the plug hangs out from underneath. The fridge has been spelled to run on magical electricity.
