[a/n] guys! I've seriously almost finished writing this story sooo please read it cause I've been working so hard 😫

***

October 10th

The light swift of my finger as I read made me uncomfortable.

I couldn't take the pressure.

"Concentrate." Conner interferes. My worriers taking over. "Think of something else. Relax." He wasn't being as irritating today. His small frown watching me gave me goosebumps.

"Can you stop looking at me!" I snap at him. He rolls his eyes snatching the old brown book from me. "Read #188. That's a spell you need to know." He says strictly.

"I'm not new Conner, I know how to levitate!" Anger rushes through me, it felt like he was teaching me the alphabet at 15! I'm not a complete idiot.

"Kayla, you are never going to control if you nag! Just do it!" He demands. I shake my head frustration running through me.

"Lets try body swap" I was extremely curious. "No." Conners hand slaps onto the book instantly. "Levitate." He says firmly. "My wand." I let my hand fall out lightly waiting for him to pass my black red streaked wand over.

"We're doing hand magic." He says sternly. I roll my eyes.

Come on Kayla, levitate. You've been doing it for years.

My hand did a swift movement toward an apple Conner had placed in front of me, I breath the words out slowly.

"Move near don't fear change gears."

I spoke softly. The apple moving with my fingers.

"I see you have no fear now rest near."

The horrible rhyming made me giggle at times. "See, it wasn't that bad. and when you become a full wizard you won't need these crappy spells." Conner half smiles. "We'll both be full wizards." I smile at him. He shook his head slowly.

The thought of him not having his powers anymore broke me. He'd done everything he could to keep them all along. I glow my eyes at him. They were a light purple. It always seems to cheer him up since it was the only control I have.

"Stop." He chuckles, finally. I haven't seen that smile in a while.

My eyes became a dark brown again. "I take advantage of it." I breath giggling lightly. "Kayla, you'll get the hang of it." He spoke barley above a whisper.

I nod.

Who sucked his pickle today?

__

the light New York City breeze hit me lightly. I shut my eyes feeling it seep in through my ears.

I open my eyes. The city lights gleaming in the night. I stood out on my balcony. My 'Brooklyn' muscle tee flowing with the wind. I felt the light relaxing air seep in through my slightly ripped black high waisted jeans. The leather of my combat boots made a wincing noise making me flinch with each step.

I made my way toward my spell book. The note Conner had left inside frustrates me.

' no magic after 11.

and stay in your

room no matter what

- Conner '

I look at my watch. 10:55.

"I can do it." My whisper was firm.

I look at my mirror, already apologizing.

I swift my finger in the direction of the mirror trying to do a harder and advanced spell.

The one Conner had forbidden me to do. Curiosity got the best of me at times. "Come on Kayla." I whisper.

My eyes glow into the light purple color activating more power. "Although there is no door to lead my way, open this mirror to help me see a better day" I say my hand beaming on the mirror power spurting through the room. I held down, feeling as if I had heavy weight down on my shoulders.

Come on Kayla. Come on

My thoughts rummage through my mind. The mirror slowly became something more..

My hand slowly relaxes the view coming to full sight. I let my hand down looking into the mirror, slightly purple sprinkles fill the air, my magic.

A big field with beautiful dandelions wash over. I stuck my hand slowly through. I was able to pass in.

I chose not too.

I pick up a flower off the perfect ground bring it over. I smelt it.

Fresh.

"Kayla!" I heard a loud knock at the door. My view staying still.

My concentration was .. good?

I smile happily.

How was this happening?

"Yes?!" I call out.

"Me and your father are leaving now for the dinner with our boss. Remember don't get too distracted!" She calls out. I nod to myself, as if she were to see.

"Mom I'm doing much better." I say smiling to myself. "Great honey I'm proud." I ran over to open my door.

She looks amazing.

Her beautiful light brown hair was up in a fancy bun, she had on a tight black dress on, showing people her incredible body. I smile.

"Look!" I grip onto her arm bringing her inside to see my mirror.

Luckily, it hadn't vanished.

My moms eyes slightly widen. "Kayla.." She walks over touching the mirror.

"You-You. I-It's happening." Her breaths were uneasy.

Had I done something?

"Kayla, I love you sweetie." Her voice was soft as she approaches me.

"I love you too mom, what's wrong?" I ask worried, I wipe away her unwanted tears.

"Never forget that." She grips onto me. "I love you." She finally kisses my head before walking out.

I stand there.

I shake my head.

I hear the front door of the house shut. I look outside my door. "Conner?" I ask looking into his room directly down the hall from me.

He was .. packing?

"Conner?" I saw more loudly. He looks up at me quickly.

He was extremely pale, and he was sweating.

"Kayla." He breaths out unsteadily.

"What's wrong?" I ask walking near. He stops me and comes outside, not wanting me to enter his room.

"Kayla, I love you remember that. I don't want you to get hurt." He whispers his voice slightly cracking.

"O-Of course, I love you too." I had no understanding.

"I-I have to go. I love you." He finally whispers before jogging down the stairs. "Conner?!" I yell out after him.

He slams the front door shut, leaving me there.

Something was in his room.

I need to find out.
