Chapter Fourteen

Another scene in Snow's memory.

Snow's mother brought a man into their house, introduced him as her husband and Snow's step father. A small wedding was held at the old church in their small town.

Everything was going smoothly, her step father Timothy was a very nice man, he paid for any expenses in the house and Snow's school fees.

He treated both Snow and her mother very well and made their family complete.

Snow's Mother suddenly became ill and could not even move from her bed, the doctors could not find any cure for her disease, told her to stay at home and pray for a miracle.

Timothy got fired at work and became a drunkard, he will always beat Snow up anytime he comes home from who knows where. He abuses her verbally and physically blaming her for everything that had happened including her mother's illness.

Snow felt alone, she had no relatives, she had no friends because of the unusual birthmark on her face. Her mother could hardly speak talk less of comforting her.

"I'm truly a curse, mum lied to me" she muttered to her battered self in her room late at night .

Another scene in Snow's memory.

Snow woke up to the sound of her Mother's voice and she quickly rushed to her side.

"M-mum , please don't leave me, please mum, you're all I have left please don't go I beg of you..... Please". She sobbed into her Mother's hand .

" Snow my child, I wish I could stay a little longer but I can't.... This was meant to happen, you have to continue this journey on your own. You were born for something greater my child, your existence will save the life of both humans and other mystical creatures. When you find Silvia she will put you through your journey.

"Silvia,

" You need to help my daughter to find her flame " she coughs.

she raised her head up as if Silvia was in the room. She weakly snapped her fingers and time froze

" I am sorry Snow " with that she erased Snow's memory.

The candles stopped burning, Silvia's eyes remained closed for she didn't want to let go of the memories of her sister. She opened her eyes, a free tear fell from her gray eyes and she smiled.

"Thanks Melina, for trusting your daughter with me" she whispered.

She snapped her fingers and an unconscious Snow disappeared from the room. Silvia took a moment to gather her thoughts and did a revise on the information she had gathered from Snows memories. She mind linked the others for a meeting in her office.

" So you're saying she's not only a witch? What is she then? A vampire? Anna asked her mum after she listened to her explanation.

Silvia seemed to be in deep thought as she tried to guess what Snow's Mother, Melina meant by "you need to help my daughter to find her flame "

" Dragon" Silvia muttered out loud.

She stood up and started pacing slowly across the room. "She said Snow is something greater and I should help her find her flame". She continued.
