Before Us

It was a ceremonious night when Matilda bore her child. The moon shone bright in the dark sky for the most powerful white witch, the 15th generation of their race.

At the sound of the newborn’s cry, a loud wail was heard. It echoed around the place, scaring all the birds that had been watching kindly beside them. The loud wail was even followed by small ominous growls like that of a beast. Orlando was alarmed because of it.

Matilda clinged on Orlando’s arm as she felt the black power coming from Amara. Orlando glanced at her as if they were thinking the same thing.

He immediately stood up and placed a brown cape around Clara, his nine year old daughter. Then, he handed her his newborn daughter.

The brown cape will serve as their protection from Amara. It will prevent its wearer from releasing their power and it will hide them from the sight of any powerful being.

It is a family heirloom, passed on from generation to generation to whoever was the most powerful white witch living in the family. It is also one of the reasons why their life is in danger.

“Mommy,” Clara’s voice trembled as she called out to her mother. You could see fear in her gentle eyes.

She looked into her daughter’s eyes and started using her powers. Her eyes glowed purple, so did Clara’s.
