Chapter 31: Witch's Wrath

Silvana tried calling her father to no avail.

She sped down the roads towards Bruce’s house, and she noticed police officers and a fire truck slowing down the traffic as they cleaned the highway of glass and torn plastic from a car nowhere to be seen.

“Must’ve been an accident,” Silvana thought to herself.

She rubbernecked and saw the tire tracks leading into the ravine.

“What a way to go,” she mumbled, shaking her head, hoping that anybody involved in the crash was alright. It hit her deeply that no matter how much magic she learned, she would never be able to save and protect everybody around her, and tragedy would befall even the most innocent and pure of people.

Then she snapped her head forward and saw that the car ahead of her was much closer than she had thought, and she stomped her foot on the brakes, just narrowly avoiding rear-ending the red car in front of her.
