Chapter 12

Bella's p.o.v

He held me as if i would disappear, i cried for all the pain i had endured, it was my fault that he was injured in the present time, i took the wrong route that day and i was too weak to use my magic, i was a failure.

I pulled back and wiped off my tears, he looked at me then smiled.

"Can you please take me to a river or a stream?" I asked as he got my hand and quickly walked ahead with me.

"That was where we were going, it's just a few seconds away" he answered seriously.

'I won't be stupid anymore, i will tell him everything about me' i said silently to myself.

He pushed the branches away that were crowding our way as i closed my eyes avoiding the dust.

"We are here" he whispered then stood still, i too did and opened my eyes, i gasped in admiration when i saw what was in front of me.

The place was like a paradise, it was surrounded by beautiful green flowers, red roses, butterflies and lady bugs , a little stream was flowing in front of us showing off the beautiful and colorful fish that were in there, the sun rays made the water Spackle like diamonds, this was the best site i had ever set my eyes on in all my life, i felt like crying, when a hand went around my waist i tensed.

"Do you like it?" He asked lowly.

"Its breath taking and beautiful" i answered with a soft chuckle.

"This is my secret place, i discovered it years ago, every time i had fear or felt sad and lonely, i came here, no one knows about this place, but i want you to be the first and last person i show this to" he whispered as i pushed back the forming tears, i had no strength to hide it any more, i needed to tell him.

I turned and faced him.

"Michael, i know it may sound as a myth and a lie but to tell you the truth, i am a witch" i said seriously as he looked me in the eye.

I really wanted him to believe me.

"What type of witch?" He asked as i smiled.

'did he believe me, Wasn't that a quick response, why did he believe me this quick,' A lot of Questions went through my mind.

"I don't know yet, I'm born from a pure and dark witch, i can manipulate all four elements without chanting a spell or saying any words, I'm also older than you think i am, the only reason i couldn't tell you sooner was because i thought you would have taken it as a joke, my magic is not at its peak because i rarely practiced, i just wanted to be honest with you" i said seriously.

He pointed at the water.

"An element witch is good with, air, earth, fire and mostly water, so please give me a demonstration" he said as i looked at him confused.

How did he know about how an element witch was good with water?

"I'm waiting" he said as i moved closer to the stream and stood at the edge, i lifted my hands and put my strength in the force i had imagined but nothing moved, i tried again, harder, still nothing happened.

Michael broke out in laughter, i turned and looked at him angrily.

"I wasn't lying! I don't know why i can't do it, maybe the owner of this body is human" i said loudly.

He moved closer with a smile.

"The owner of the body was a witch who practiced dark magic, so her body flows with magic" he answered as i pointed my finger at him.

"What, You told me supernaturals were myths, I thought you knew nothing about supernatural beings!" I screamed as he laughed.

"I just wanted to refrain myself from scaring you, i was so afraid of you finding out and hating me, I'm actually a vampire, an old one at that" he said as i sighed lowly.

"Well that's old news" i answered as he looked at me surprised.

"Aren't you afraid of my kind, My kind is deadly, they kill many beings including witches for blood and other selfish reasons" he said as i laughed softly.

"Well i don't care, i know you can't kill me" i answered honestly.

"That's why i usually pulled back before i could kiss you deeply, its been so long since i fed on human blood, i usually feed on animal blood, kissing you is great but sadly tempting" he said as i smiled.

"So my magic is weak huh?" I asked disappointed in myself.

"No its not, you are actually powerful, any witch born from a pure and dark bloodline is really powerful, although its surprising that your parents got to be together, its forbidden for a pure witch to be with a dark one you know, As for you, all you lack is focus, that's what your problem is" he said seriously.

I folded my arms in surprise.

"And why do you know all this?" I asked curiously.

"I told you didn't i, I'm an old man, now lets begin" he said.

"Begin what?" I asked.

"Your practice, we will practice here everyday, your powers are just laying dormant" he said as i smiled.

"So you will be like my own personal teacher huh, Like a bad ass sensei?" I asked happily.

"I am your teacher young lady" he answered as i laughed softly.

"First thing, turn and face the stream" he instructed as i nodded.

I turned and faced the stream then lifted my hands, he moved closer and hit my hands hard.

"Ouch!" I screamed out.

"Your hands aren't important, your mind can manipulate things without spells, chanting or words, you are very powerful" he said as i bite my lower lip.

"Stop pouting it makes you look too cute" he said as i pouted even more.

"fine you can use them" he said as i smiled.

"Now close your eyes" he instructed as i slowly did.

"Take in a a deep breath" he said as i took in a deep breath.

I felt his hands on my waist.

"Don't be tense, relax" he whispered as i calmed and relax my body.

"Now release your breath" he whispered near my ear as i breathed out lowly.

"Now picture a ball made out of water" he said as he rubbed my stomach gently.

"Chanel your energy from your head, stomach and core and form it in your thoughts" he whispered.

I slowly took in a deep breath and focused on the force of energy i felt in me.

"That's it keep going and you will be strong enough to protect me from death" he whispered.

When i remembered Andy's pain and suffering, i angrily pulled out the force of energy and anger i felt in all my strength and thoughts, i needed to get stronger to protect him.
