CHAPTER FIVE

AURORA

Death,

The air reeked of it, the bodies were sprawled all over the place, the method of death was gruesome, guts splayed all over the place, heads rolled down into the valley, and the sky had taken on a deep shade of red, bleeding for it's children, the sight of so much gore and carnage should have disgusted anyone, but I felt a strange rush from it, an overwhelming emotion that I could not describe, where people saw the carnage, I saw the brooding of new life, the bodies would be sacrificed for the replenishment, their souls would gain peace and the spirits reincarnated, and then suddenly, I was on the field not as an onlooker but as a collector of souls, and keeper of spirits, I was queen of the underworld, and princess of the earth, my power grew with each soul, with every knowledge and just when I thought I would burst with power, an oddly familiar voice boomed

"You have lain dormant for too long," the voice proclaimed "you must arise, but first you must die, only from the ashes can you truly awaken"

A strange zipping sound cut through the air, and I barely only had time to look as a sword hurtled towards my heart, my mind was totally on fire as I desperately tried in vain to move out of harms way, but my heart and soul knew this, and it did not fear it, I closed my eyes as the knife went through me, leaving a gaping hole where my heart once laid, I felt the power buildup in me dissipate as my eyes slowly closed up desperate for the darkness and then I hear the voice whisper to me as I embrace the sweet nothingness

"Go, daughter" it said

**************************

I woke up gasping and sweating, my mouth opened as a struggled to get as much air as I could into my body, I jumped off my bed, stripping off the sweat soaked tank top that I had worn and went straight towards my mirror and sure enough there it was a thin scar that ran down my chest, and then my reflection stared back at me and I stared in are at the beautiful woman reflected on the surface, I grasped my once auburn hair that was now a sleek black, my eyes still remained the color of the darkest night, but whew my curves, it looked like that the growth spurt fairy had a dropped a growth bomb on me, I was obviously hallucinating, in the morning this shit would have blown over, so reluctantly I went to bed and fell off into a fitful sleep.

Morning came, and no matter how much I kept on telling myself I was dreaming the reality kept on crashing on me, I tried to hide my body in my dresses they just seemed to accentuate my new shape more, as a result I was very hesitant to go downstairs for breakfast and avoided as much as I could but soon I was running out of excuses,and I had to go down the dreaded stairs, I tried to convince myself that it wasn't that bad, but the way Salem's mouth hung agape wasn't too comforting, Aunt and Uncle on the other hand waved it off and said that I was having a really a really good growth phase and Uncle called me sexy and winked at me, excluding the fact that I was totally grossed out by that, I was quite relieved that they took well to my overnight change literally, and that was all that I cared about, school and the remnants of my pathetic life didn't matter as long as I was accepted by most of the family I had left.

School on the other hand was more than the usual dismal affair that it usually was, I was suddenly the centre of attention, even the male teachers turned around to get a better view of my booty, what pervs, I was basking in the newfound attention when I ran into a block of solid chest.

TERRENCE

She pulled back almost immediately, her godly self was ravishing, too bad she just had to b showing off to the mortals, soon they would not be able to resist her, her powerful aura rolled off her in waves, I could sense the mortals cowering and worst of all she seemed to pretend that she didn't know what she was doing, and as she started to strut away from me, I couldn't help but pull her back to me

"Don't you know that your full blown aura could potentially have the humans worshipping you are you trying to get us exposed?" I asked harshly, my nails digging into her skin

I saw her eyes dilate in pain and anger

and saw the slap coming before I felt the harsh stinging pain it brought

"Grow up" she said "stop pulling these shitty pranks on me, I'll mess you up"

With that she strutted off, leaving me with the strange feeling it doubt, maybe she didn't really know about us, but then how then did she get here, something was fishy here, dad had never seemed this intent on killing someone before, I needed to get to the bottom of this, and possibly save her if I could.

UNKNOWN

These mortals were fragile and dimmunitive in both stature and willpower, the witches glamour must have been taken it's toll,because I was oogled like some kind of eye candy, and to be honest I was kind of enjoying the attention I was getting, that was until, masters cold voice rang out in my head

"Don't let me punish you again" he snarls in my head

I instantly regain my composure and put on my 'do not mess with me frown' and let my aura radiate fear into the weak minded mortals, for the first time I was in charge, not at the bottom of the food chain, not the prey but the predator, the kind of the jungle and I intended to savor every moment of it, every single moment.
