I set upon my stroll towards the park. The weather was a warm and hazy Indian summer day with a slight breeze in the air. I listened to the birds singing their melodies and the trees whistling their leaves within the wind, I loved hearing Mother Nature on a pleasant day and blessed her kindness with a simple charm I cast from my right arm and to grace her for this glorious day. My middle finger nail slightly glowed as I held my right arm towards the sky and in the distance a rainbow appeared from my cast charm, I looked around just to check nobody saw me but the streets were empty and calm. I felt the wind moving through my long golden hair as though it was being stroked. It was calming and assuring that at this moment in time I was safe.
As I walked onto the park grounds a gust of wind, collected a few fallen leaves and trans-spiralled them gracefully around me, I could see the fountain in the distance sprinkling calmly away and butterflies fluttering by. It was all so calm and tranquil. I walked gracefully along the pavement, I saw families in the distance enjoying the glorious sunshine by playing various games of football and rounders’ and I felt a little envious as I never played pleasurable activities with my family. I had no siblings to compete friendly games with and most of my spare time was used to study my gift, it was only the occasional Friday evening when I met up with Cleo but this was still an effort for my parents to even let me leave the house. I knew once I left school that they would calm down a bit more, take a small step back and let me get along on my own two feet. The stroll to the park was such a gift for me that I didn’t take the moment for granted.
I wish I had been more alert as I had not realised I was being followed, to make matters worse it was by two male demons disguised as humans. I strolled towards my favourite bench that looked directly at the statue and gazebo. I sat down on the bench to prepare my thoughts to call out for Gabriella but something caught the corner of my eye, Luke was nearby leaning against the tree as though he was in deep thought about something on his mind. He had not seen another human walking towards him with a sword, the blade glistened red like fire and instantly I knew it was a demon heading towards him. My witch instincts took over and took control of my body, my eyes and my birth mark lit up to the sacred golden glow, it now destroyed my tranquil and calm moment. I could not let Luke die, somehow these demons knew of my love towards him and now he was in danger, I screeched out Luke’s name in the hopes it would waken him from his deep thought moment. He did not hear me, panic stricken I cast out an earth shake spell to get Luke’s attention. The ground beneath him started to shake and rumble. I saw Luke awake upon his deep thinking and look towards me.
“Luke, look out…….. Run!” I yelled out to his direction.
I saw Luke turn around and face towards the raging demon but it was too late, the monster stabbed him through the chest and walked on wiping the blood away from his sword onto his human outfit that the demon was wearing. Luke pained stricken held his chest tightly and collapsed to the ground. My heart began to beat faster and a sharp pain had torn through my heart, he was dying immediately. I looked towards the demon walking away from the scene, the next thing I didn’t realise I was doing I was casting the earth shaking spell again but towards the demon this time, the spell was even stronger than before as the pathway developed into a tidal wave and chased the demon. The spell caught hold of the demon and flipped the creature to fall and crash onto the concrete. The demon didn’t move so this was my moment to save Luke. I ran towards him as fast as my legs could carry me and allow me to move. Blood had spilled onto the freshly cut green grass and Luke was coughing for air.
“Luke I am so sorry that I have put you through this, please forgive me.”
He tried to talk to me but he was in too much pain and blood had filled his lung. It was not clear what he was saying. I held his hands that were still tightly on his wound, I felt the tears fill my eyes and begin to fall down my puffy red cheeks.
“I need you to lay still and trust me. I am going to save your life because I love you.”
I kissed his forehead. He was still trying to grasp hold of his life. I removed his hands away from his wound and placed my right hand over it. The ground beneath us felt like it was spinning as a whirl of my healing spell cast a golden and sparkling light around us. I lifted my head up towards the sky and called for Gabriella to grace me with my passing and to protect Luke through the transformation, I knew I was going
