Chapter 121- Diary of Memories.

Raina's POV.

I ended up spending time with my dad the whole night, we played like old buddies, who didn't find each other for a long time, and were starting from where they left off.

Spending time with him and playing chess and the craft stopper he created for both of us, I realized he was my closest person in this house and he was my best friend.

He also took me as his best friend and buddy because he played those games like he had never played them before, he strive on, explaining everything about how we both played it whenever we had the chance, and how we'll sneak off to the kitchen and pick pastries my mom baked to come play games in the attic.

I smiled when I saw a diary with my name boldly written "KATHRYN VENETA'S DIARY." 

I chuckled as I opened it, seeing the drawings I drew on them, I even coloured it, it was like a colour book and not a diary, I didn't write anything in the first five pages from what I saw, it was drawings.

I paused as I read the first thing I wrote; "Diary today, I started school, brother has been so annoying, I am trying to accommodate him, they say I'm so small and smart at school, I've always been homeschooled for a year, but I've started attending among other children, I'm the smartest student in my class, I'm proud of myself, and Daddy is definitely proud of me."

I laughed and stilled immediately the memory of me writing and experiencing this came, I remember starting school in the academy in the city, I remember my brother pissing me off, I remember going to school and being called the smartest student, I remembered how proud I was when I wrote this down in the diary.

I was shocked when this wave of memory came, it felt like something I just lived right now, I rushed to the next page.

The next page was a drawing, it felt like I kept this book just for writing really important events and the rest I scribbled on an drew too, so it made me fascinated with the other events I had written about.

I smiled when I saw my writing on the next page; Diary today was wholesome, school is more though than I thought and in this city, there are really weird supernatural creatures, but that's not surprising because I'm a werid supernatural creature myself, I'm a Druid, I'm different from the ancient druids as Father said, we all are, we were created by the mother, who also created the Vampires, the wolves, the witches whom she created first, and many other creatures, they are all in this school, the witches are so scary especially the blood witches."

I tensed immediately as I got flashbacks of my lessons and why I wrote them down on my diary that day, my father had sat me and my brother down and told us all this, I remember asking him why this was called Vampire city and he told it was because the mother married a Vampire, a very powerful one before she died, though she wanted to marry a witch at first, it made some of the witches mad and they started their war for power, I remember how I started becoming scared when I heard witches were fighting for power and they wanted to be the dominant creatures in vampire city which was formally called Supernatural Town, since they were created first, but they got so mad when the mother married a Vampire and she gave vampires superior role while other creatures didn't get rulership, he told me she wasn't fair, but he said she wasn't wrong either, the vampires were iron rulers and it was beneficial for the creatures in the city, they needed iron rule, for things to be balanced.

I remember how I felt that day when I realized that the city wasn't balanced but it was better than being a human,like the ones who lived here and was always preyed on.

I closed the diary for a while and tried to calm my breathing, the memories coming in was making me a little woozy even while sitting, I heaved a sigh of relief and opened the diary again, I was determined to get all my memories and reading my diary made me get them back little by little, I just had to trust the process.

I opened the next page and saw a drawing of me and my brother, I smiled when I saw what I wrote, I was a little mature for a child my age, I realized that I must have been four years old by this time, I was three when I started writing it "my brother may be annoying,but I love him so much, he is family and daddy says that family means a lot." I laughed when I saw the arrows I drew to be thrown at him, and I realized that I drew an armour to protect him, that was how I felt then about my brother.

I chuckled at the memory, I was really a handful for a child, I flipped the next page; "Diary today after I was four years old and after much consideration from daddy and mommy, they have thought me how to use my powers, I am fascinated, daddy took me to a sage who was also a seer and he said I had immense power in me, that I and my brother were the most powerful in the family tree, especially me, since I was a descendant of Tatia as the seer said."

I smiled at the memory as it came flowing in, me learning how to use my powers with my mom and dad, we practiced in the practice room, and I also joined mom in painting, after painting, I helped dad in beautifying too, we had lots of customers and we were rich and it made me happy how sweet my life is." The memory came flowing in, every memory I regained happened whenever I finished reading whatever I scribbled there years ago.

I opened another page; "diary today, daddy showed me my descendant and I was shocked, I look exactly like her, and it feels like what people say, that I am her, dad said she was brave and strong, I also will be brave and strong that's why I'll learn and practice my powers well." The memory came immediately I read the last word, I remember my dad showing me Tatia's picture and how I was shocked after seeing our resemblance, how I practiced even when dad and mom weren't around so I could master all my moves and how I felt the power grow in me more than it did.

I opened the next page, and smiled while reading; dear diary, today was strange, very strange, mom is calling out for me, I'll come continue when I'm back." I stilled after reading this part, the memory of me writing this came, but the memory of what happened to prompt this writing didn't come, so I swiped again immediately, I really wanted to get it back.

I opened the next page immediately and saw the continuation of what I wrote; "Diary today a strange thing happened, I'm not really sure, but a lot happened, a weird woman tried carrying me from school and I refused because I didn't follow strangers as mommy and daddy taught me, the woman insisted but I refused, she was very weird and I didn't want to do close to her.

My mommy came to school immediately and took my name off the list telling the principal I'll be home schooling, I was upset because I didn't like home schooling, it made me more alone than I've imagined, she dragged me home immediately we left school, I noticed something strange, druid children were also removed school by their parents, it was such a dramatic day, today was so dramatic, dad and mom told me and my brother that we won't go to school for a while, we would go back to being homeschooled again, mommy explain that the weird woman who spoke with me was a blood witch who wanted to kill druid children to use it for certain sacrifice and to get more powerful, the druid children could give her access to power, so she had to hide us too.  Today was real scary and dramatic.

I stilled as the memory came, I remembered everything, the blood witch who came, my mother taking me and my brother home, how she was frantic with worry and how other druids were frantic with worry about their children. I remember my dad and mom training us and locking us inside, calling the sage for a spell to hide us effectively, which couldn't work because he was attacked and he couldn't do anything magical, we had to stay at home.

I remember being trained with my brother all day, since that day passed, we were taught how to defend ourselves against blood witches.
