Chapter 9

Ember's POV

I woke when a sudden power surge came through the cabin. The door was being open. That hasn't been opened since she went missing and her mother was killed, she had sealed that door with her last breath. Springing out the bed and unleashing my wings I flew down the hall and jumped the stairs bannister, landing without a single sound. I rushed to the room. The door was open... OPEN! No one could open that door Skylar was the strongest witch that had ever lived. Only someone stronger could have opened that door, but I would have sensed someone that strong. Just Skylar's presence made me tremble even if she was kind, that was just how much power she gave off.

I walk towards the door worried that a threat would be behind the black door, but more worried that the door would close in my face and I would never know who opened it. Stepping through the door, I see a girl looking at the statues of my parents and Skylar next to her mate Lynx. I couldn't see her face, but her hair shimmered like a rainbow and it threw me off. It was just like Divya, but she was lost when Skylar was murdered. Taking the chance "Divya?" I ask. The girl screams, jumps and turns in the air. Her face pure shock. "I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be here, I stumbled upon this place last night and really needed a place to sleep...." she started rambling.

Holding up my hands "whoa, whoa hold on, you have been here all night? How the door was locked." I stated matter of fact.

She was wringing her hands together "MMM, no it was unlocked, I didn't take anything nor touch anything, I was only looking at all the wonderful things you had here."

"Okay, so you came in slept for the night and then woke up and didn't leave? You just came down and opened the door?" I crossed my arms

"NO! Well I guess this makes it worse but I was looking through the whole cabin...." She trailed off and cast her eyes at her feet.

"So. Did. You. Open. This. Door?" I said very slowly and gestured towards the door.

"Oh. No.... Well, maybe, kinda, yeah, I did. I was curious what behind it, with it being so different from the rest of the house." she stated like it was nothing.

I was dumbfounded she said that like it was just some normal common door. I ran a hand down my face. "What and who are you?" were the only words I could manage to come up with.
