Burning Legacy ➳ Liam Dunbar

chapter 23 ➳ I've had enough

[a/n] mini marathon :3

***

November 7th

the light wind blows on me, my hand gesturing around up and down in the spiral bound notebook.

the mixture of red orange and yellow blend together to create the beautiful piece that hides behind tall dark green hills.

the fine ending autumn leaves make there was toward the bright green grass, alive as ever.

"Kayla .. Dinner!" I hear Scott's voice from the distant house.

I stand making my way back to the old creaky house across the street.

I enter the house, the kitchen just a few feet away.

I sit in my usual seat as well as everyone else.

We begin eating, everyone silent.

I mess around with my mashed potatoes that had been overly cooked.

"So, mom how was your day?" Scott breaks the what felt like an eternity of uneasy silence.

"It was good, today we.." I zone her out.

Stabbing my food.

I felt different. I wasn't ready to change.

but it was this or going away.

I sigh lightly.

"So, Kayla. How was your day?" Melissa asks breaking me from my punk rock and black clothing thoughts.

"It was great. I went out with some good influencing friends." I lie grinning falsely.

"Really? That's amazing!" She yells her smile bright.

I nod.

"Hey, did you hear about Liam and Brooke? He asked her to be his girlfriend again in the cutest way according to Lydia." Scott says.

I look down at my food.

he said it was officially over.

God. You're so stupid Kayla.

my heart burns.

I couldn't be here, not now.

"I-I'm really tired. Thanks for dinner." I say standing up slightly before being forced to sit down again.

the pain was harsh.

"Kayla are you okay?" I felt a hand grip onto my upper arm.

I felt my body go numb.

"I-I can't feel .. anything." I say weakly.

he was taking control over me again.

I drop into a dark black room small lights fluttering around.

"Stop it! I can't take this anymore! Just pulling me away from my thoughts my family! Conner stop this." I felt the pressure on my back, as if someone was stepping on it.

I shriek in a extreme amount of pain. I felt my back bone break into two. the tears overflowing out of my eyes.

You're so stupid.

"Shut up!" I exclaim.

Don't you understand Kayla? I'm feeding off of you. Slowly. I'm growing. I'm not a warlock for any reason. You aren't any warlock, you're a wizard. A basic helpful wizard. Ugh.

he scoffs causing me to glare at the space where I was expecting his body to be.

I was on the ground, my knees pressing on the floor as well as my hands.
