What I feared had happened

We were enjoying the butterfly show mother performed when, Eve shrieked in happiness. We all ran to see what happened.

Ethan picked her up and searched for injuries but she was determined to go her granny's arms and so, she started struggling so hard in his arms.

Mother took her in her arms and they both were very happy for something happened. When Kevin asked mother she told that Eve performed some magic; the very first magic of her life without any help of mother !

What the hell ? She can perform magic ? I mean, I know she was a magical baby even before she was born from her way of communicating with us through the colour changing of my bump.

But I didn't expected her to be a WITCH itself !

I mean I'd be lying if, I said even the thought didn't crossed my mind !

But I had kept it away knowingly that she might be a witch. Obviously mother is an original witch and her son can definitely father a wicht !

But I am a normal human can't she be only like me ? Pure human ? I mean, Ethan is a vampire too and she doesn't crave human blood. She gets sick of it !

Again, Daniel had this theory.

Just a few hours after her birth, she wasn't drinking my breast milk so, he said that, she might by half human and half vampire like her parents and so, he tried to feed her human blood and she pucked it out hard.

That made it very clear that, she isn't a vampire !

Though, Ethan's or Kevin's blood can heal her injuries just like mine but they don't heal on its own like Ethan's or Kevin's or Daniel's or Steve's.

And that made it super clear she isn't one !

But what mother said today, it also made clear that she is a witch !

I never wanted my child to be something supernatural. Nor a vampire nor hybrid nor a witch !

When it was confirmed that I was pregnant, I had begged god to let my only child be a normal human like me and not anything else.

But I guess God has turned a deaf ear to my prayers and let happen what I feared !

What do I do now ? Why isn't my life normal like others ? Like Suzy ?

She is just working and doing her favor thing as her job and so she is happy at her working place.

She have got a loving boyfriend whom she is very happy with. They are gonna marry and have normal children !

Why can't I have that?

Though, I don't complain about having a vampire and a hybrid boyfriend for they let me experience inhuman speed and many other inhuman things.

But I never wanted an extraordinary life for my only child. I just wanted my child to be normal and human like others and not inhuman !

I went to mother and Eve came to me, seeking proud words from me for her successful first magic.

Even though, I know mother won't lie and Eve won't take her side for lying to us but I wanted to see it for myself before I let myself panic.

" Sugar, can you perform your magic once again? Your Dads and uncles and I didn't got to see when you did it at first. Please ? "

I said caressing her back, hoping she'd fail and won't be able to perform the bloody magic ever again.

I know I am sounding like the evil step-mother from novels or series but if, it will save my child from unwanted attention and won't make anyone thirsty for her blood and hurt her; I will gladly be the villain for her protection.

Even if, it makes her hate me !

She chimed and started struggling in my arms to let her down. I put her softy down and she sat spreading her legs and made sure everyone was looking at her this time.

When she confirmed it, she closed her eyes and started turning her tiny fingers mid air. When nothing happened for a few moments, happiness started creeping inside me.

But it didn't last long !

A small tornado was created below her fingers and it was moving with her fingers and wherever her hand moved !

My hopes crushed down mercilessly and I kneeled before her in defeat.

My action disturbed her and her hand let go of the tornado and she reached out her hands for me to take her in my arms. I hugged her with tears rolling down my eyes.

She tighten her hold on me and started looking at my face concerned for why was I crying ?

She wiped my tears and placed her tiny palms on my cheeks like she was cupping my face making sure I am not crying.

Kevin came and tried to pick her up but she didn't let him and hugged me tight.

" It's ok baby, she isn't crying because she is sad. She is crying out of happiness that you can perform magic just like granny. "

Kevin said caressing her head.

She was about to cry watching me cry and so, I crushed her on my chest and caressed her lovingly.

" Dad is right sweetheart. I am crying because I am so happy that you can perform magic. And I am very proud of you that you didn't need her help to perform your first-ever magic. "

I said and kissed her head.

She let off her arms around me and watched my face if, I was telling her the truth or lying to her!

She is very clever. She catches us if, we lie to her and so, I tried to lie better and not let her know I was sad.

I smiled at her and she smiled back after making sure I wasn't crying anymore and hugged me. And my eyes shade a few more tears.

What am I doing ?

Just now I decided to become the villain if, needed to protect her and now I am giving her false hopes and lying about being proud of her ?

Well, I am not lying actually !

I am proud of her that, she can do it without any help or guidance; but I don't want her to do it that's the problem!
