Emily
I groaned out in sleep with the constant knocking on my door. Who is knocking rapidly on the door disturbing my peaceful sleep, I hadn't slept properly for two days and I need more sleep to cope with everything?
"Coming" I grumbled out before getting up from the bed and moving towards the door with eyes half-closed and yawning. I opened the door to reveal my mum standing with a smile on her face and also worry evident on her face.
" How did you know I was in my room mum?" I asked because I teleported directly from the library to my room.
" Mothers always know what their children are doing and what they are Aiza and I knew the second you teleported to your room. you can call it a mother's instinct!" She gave me a laugh at my questioning eyebrows and amusement shining in my eyes.
" Then I should always be discreet when I have to do something secretly to not get caught by you." I playfully narrowed my eyes and we both burst out laughing. We always treat each other as sisters and best friends more than mother and daughter and I love it. Sometimes I feel guilty because I am hiding my secret from my mother but I am doing it for her safety.
" Ah! I forgot to tell you that Emily stopped by in the morning." Hearing my best friend's name after so long and hearing that she is back made me excited and I forgot about everything. She knows everything about me and I know everything about her and she knows my secret too. Other than Eliot and grandma, Emily knows it too as Eliot saw me when I was having a vision, likewise, Emily saw me too.
Finally, I can tell her everything about what is happening to me. She is a seamstress, in the human world called a designer. She designs clothes and sells them and they sell within minutes as she is so talented and unique.
Our clan holds a carnival every y r and everyone gets to sell whatever they can make and make money from the sales. It is a great income for us as every species and humans come to the fair to buy the goods and enjoy the rides and food. I am a pro at growing plants with my spells and I make saplings and sell them and candles which will help reduce stress, and anxiety, and calm the body and mood. I collect all the roots and portions to make these candles and use spells to create them.
Last year in the carnival Emily's designs were applauded and she was picked up by the minister from the King's court. He and his wife were so mesmerized by her talent that they talked with the king and granted permission for her to come to work in the palace. She is the lucky one earning and living at the palace. I missed her so much and I am dying to meet her and let my heart out in front of her.
" I can't wait to meet her Mumma! I will come back by dinner." I rushed out the words with excitement coating my voice with a big grin on my face. I bolted out of my door and ran through my house to go and meet Emily in her house which is, by the way, a distance of four cottages away.
I tuned out my parents' calls and ran through the street impatiently wanting to meet my best friend. I forgot the fact that I am a witch and I can easily teleport but my head is not having anything.
Emily's cottage came into my view and in no time I was standing in front of her door panting hard and bending my body and putting my hands on my knees to catch my breath. I straightened up and tapped on the door continuously and the door was pulled open by none other than my best friend whom I missed damn much.
I tackled her to the ground by jumping on her. I am crushing her body with my weight and she groans under me but she hugged me back as tight as I am hugging her.
Tears streaming down my face and I am sobbing hard because I missed her so much and it was so hard coping with her absence as she is not only my best friend but a sister from another mother.
" I missed you too, Aiza!" She rasped out choking on her words and I know she is crying too.
We pulled back and sat on the ground and looked at her for the first time since she went to the palace and it was a year ago. She has changed so much but she is still my crazy best friend.
" When are you going back?" I asked the first question which came to my mind because I want to prepare myself when she leaves so it's the best thing to ask now.
" Woah! I thought you missed me!" Amusement played in her eyes and she laughed out loud at my scowl.
" I need to prepare myself for the time you leave so I should ask you now and get to work on preparing myself." It was so hard when she was leaving for the first time and the second time will be the same too.
" Unfortunately I am going back tomorrow as I came here to take some things from my room which I left behind." She is already leaving? I thought she would stay for a week at least. My frown deepened that I don't have much time.
" What are those things that you need from here?" I asked to change the sad and tense atmosphere because I want to spend the rest of the time happily with her.
" Some threads and my books which consist of my designs as I need them now." She answered excitedly.
" Umm, is there any occasion that you are so excited about?" Why is she so excited about getting the design book and threads? Is something going on in the palace?
" Haven't you heard? Our King found his mate and there is going to be a celebration in three days where he will make her his queen officially." My body stilled at her words and a deep ache started forming in my heart that I don't understand why. Is her words causing me to feel these things? My breath caught in my throat and I am having a problem breathing in all this, my eyes clouded and my vision went blank. I Am fudging having a vision right now and I don't know what I will see this time. I hope for the best.
