Scarlett Brown - The Half Witch

Chapter One

I blinked a few times.

She wasn't kidding. I searched her face for a give away even hoping that she slips and let's out a laugh.

She just stared back at me. Okay so she was dead serious.

"Rosaline Johanna. Scarlett Rosaline Johanna Brown? !! Since when?!" I asked my grandmother, well screamed is more appropriate. I had lived all my seventeen years of life as Scarlett Brown and now suddenly I have two middle names and guess what....I'm a witch, how can I not scream at her!

"Grams how could you not tell me? All this time I have been experiencing these 'changes'. I was going mad because of it and now you're telling me that it's all because I'm a witch, how could you not tell me?"

While I was freaking out, my lovely grandmother sat calmly at the edge of my bed watching me with a small smile on her face. If I was her I wouldn't have been so calm around a teenager who just found out that she is a witch and accidentally caused a fire in the kitchen because she didn't know she could do that by just thinking it.

Which is what led us to this moment.

"Calm down Letty it's not the end of the world."

I scoffed at her. "Easy for you to say, you're not the one with 'Rosaline Johanna' as your middle names"

My grandma decided to do the unthinkable, laugh, she actually laughed. When I was about to explode from so much of anger she was laughing. Could she be anymore unbelievable?

"Listen Letty I never wanted to tell about any of this. When you reached age twelve and experienced no changes I thought that this witch thing had skipped you. I thought that at least I could save you from it but now that you have started changing I knew I had to tell you even if it was too late. So now you get these two years to learn more about who you are and all that you capable of." I calmed down letting all of what she said sink in.

"Okay then, you have the whole night to pack. We leaving for Jeswing tomorrow. And pack warm it's very chilly on that side" she quickly said before leaving my room.

Then it sunk in. "WHAT! Tomorrow? But I only found out that I'm a witch TODAY! don't I get time to digest all of this first" I ran after her.

"You will be fine. You are my strong and brave Rosy" she winked at me then kept going down the stairs.

I went back up and slammed down on my bed exhausted by what just happened. I gazed at my closet, at all the clothes and all the suitcases waiting to be packed. I guess I didn’t have a choice so I pulled my blanket over my head and forced my self to sleep.
