Chapter 17

Emiliar found herself in a beautiful cottage. Sylvia stood by her side smiling, happy that she has succeeded in geting Emiiar..she just hoped that the little girl don't get sentimental.

Emiliar looked up to her ,startled. the world just changed like a quick swipe. the so called librarian has changed her uniform so quickly and this cottage doesn't look familiar.

" where are we?" she asked ." why did everything changed so quickly? how did we get here in the first place?"

Sylvia just smiled and nudged her to move. She really had no time to waste.

"I asked a question?" Emiliar protested.

"And I heard you well" Sylvia answered. "can we move on? just watch. By the way I thought you said you believed magic. Why ask me questions?"

Emiliar arched a brow. Things were getting clearer now. Magic_meaning she just teleported with this woman to this place . what the hell is happening ?! she thought.

"wait,I don't t understand. I thought you were a librarian. Who are you? Where did you come from? Why did you come to me?" she was feeling unsecure now. " Or are you a witch?"

Sylvia sighed . Humans are too predictable. She thought.

"Do you wanna see Katty or not?"

"Of course i want to but you can't decieve me with that" Emiliar snapped.

Decieve? What the heck?! Sylvia though. Oh my...

She stopped to face her." Look Emily, i can't deceive you. And if i do. I promise to take you back to school"

Emily was touched by the way she called her name, 'emily'. It sounded nice. She wanted to smile but she hid that we'll. She just stood there, pretending like she was thinking.

"Come on ,lets go get Katty. we don't have all day"

When they go out of the cottage, they got into sylvia's car and left.

Sylvia tried to calm herself down. It's really been a while since she drove her car and she's becoming too nervous this days. she just had to use the car to avoid more questions from Emiliar. Emiliar brought back old memories to her. she remembered the day she got Katty, how curious Katty was. Emiliar also have that kind of behavior. They ask questions a lot and that's what basically atracted her to Katty. And now she's so obssessed with the girl that she just can't live a normal life without her. In the car she thought it was better to get to know Emiliar well.

" so Emily, tell me about you?" she said and hated the way it sounded

" i'm Emiliar"she corrected.

Sylvia smiled."i know. I just love nicknames. Or do you have a better nickname?"

Emiliar smiled, she was becoming free somehow. " Emily is okay " she said. "what do you want to know about me?"

"hm, why people call you a witch?"

she smiled." the colour of my eyes, i read thoughts, i perform magic sometimes. one day i invoked sleep on everyone in the class, that was the worst day of my life in short. I never thought it would happen. I just said it jokingly and everyone slept. My image was tarnished in school and everyone called me a witch."

"wow, you might be a real witch anyway" Sylvia chuckled. They got to the hospital. 

" hospital?" Emilair was getting anxious. "Is Katty here?"

"yes" Sylvia led her to Katty's ward.

When they got there, Emiliar screamed in pain at the sight of her friend. "no no no"

she cried." wake up, it's Emiliar"

"she's alive" Sylvia said.

"Then why all these?" she pointed to the connecting cords, the oxygen mask, the ventilator and the other things that was connected to katty's body. " what happened to her?"

"Her asthma got worse"

Emiliar regretted immedately. Why didn't she consider this while allowing her to leave?

" It's all my fault"

Sylvia patted her back."NO. It's not your fault. It's no one's fault. We need to help Katrienair now. She needs a transplant"

"A transplant?" Emiliar gasped. Things has really gone worse than she expected. " no, she can't have a transplant. what if she dies?"

" I also do not want a transplant for her." Sylvia stated.

Emiliar arched a brow. she's becoming too curius.

"who are you?" she asked.

That question caught Sylvia off guard. She didn't plan to answer that kind of question. What the hell is she insinuating again? she thought.

"Does that really matter to you ?" Her expression was blank, she was definitely getting annoyed.

"Yes" Emiliar challenged her." Maybe then i'll know what you did to my friend."

OH ,now she's acusing me. She thought. Humans are psychos. What the heck! she's supposedly a witch, she should be wise also. Sylvia furrowed her brow."what are you saying?"

"i'm asking aquestion. Who are you to Katty? how did you gt to know her? What did you do to her ? how did she get here?"

Maybe she's just being curious. Sylvia tried to control herslf.

"Will you calm down and listen to me?" She pleaded." I'm Katty's new mum" she paused. Those last words sounded strange somehow. Emiliar was quite, probably trying to interprete whatever was going on.

" she was brought to this hospital from school. She had an attack" Sylvia added.

things slowly became clear to Emiliar."i'm...sorry...but..." she swallowed." i just wanted to know . i hate to see her liike this. You are a witch , so help my friend"

"You know Katty's not an ordinary human."

" i guess so"

" i can't help her without consequences"

"Turn her to a witch. She won't die if you do so"

sylvia smiled. smart girl. she thought.

"Katty needs a separate kind of healing. She can't be turned just yet. She's a special breed. i can get you turned first then you'll help your friend"

"You have a plan already. let's get to it"

Emiliar was eased of some kind of burden on her chest. She had a feeling that with this woman, everything will be alright.

"First, we need to get her out of here" They both walked back to the reception and requested for a discharge. They were asked to fill forms to be sure the any other casualties will be at their own rissk. they were taking a big risk and they knew it .As soon as they were done with all the paperwork . katty was placed in the car and they hopped in. As Sylvia held the ignition key, she noticed a boy running towards the car. His face somehow looked familiar so she stopped and rolled down the window . The boy came closer, he was panting.

"Katrienair's mum" he said" It's Joel"

"Joel, how are you doing?" She was smiling.

"I'm good . How's Katty? Is she in there?" He pointed to the hospital." I came to see her"

" Wow," She was somehow surprise cause the last time she saw them together they had a fight," Katty's been discharged. She's in the car"

He looked through the window of the passenger's seat. He saw Katty looking liveless. He was baffled.

"What's wrong?" his face had turned pale red."She doesn't look fine"

"We are rushing hme to get her treated. Don't worry , she'll be bacck in school soon"

"NO," he shook his head." Can i go with you?"

"Why not? Hop in the car" Sylvia said.
