Chapter 14: My New Home


    {Kelsey P.O.V}


    I swear to God. I hate Jacob, my little brother. He made a mess in the house, paint sshed against


    the walls, furniture scattered throughout the t. Dad and Jill will kill me. Especially since I was


    supposed to be home thirty minutes ago, that''s the time his nanny clocks out. I thought I could chill with


    my friends for a few minutes beforeing home. It wouldn''t make a big difference, but it did. I took off


    my shoes and hung my coat before I fully entered the living room area. The couch''s pillowsid all over


    the ce and the tv smoked. I couldn''t believe my eyes, it was a mess.


    "Jacob!"


    Hisughter could be heard throughout the apartment. He ran into the living room with a broad smile on


    his face. The first thing I noticed was that he had a wand in his hand. I don''t know if it''s dad''s or Jill''s,


    either way, a wand in the hand of a child is dangerous and even more dangerous if the child isn''t


    blessed with magic yet. My big sister rms ticked. He could kill himself or me.


    "Jacob, give me the wand,"


    I asked. He stared at me in silence, then he shook his head. "No," the six-year-old spat.


    This both scared and worried me. I ran after him but he ran away. He was hyped up and very fast. He


    ran into dad''s office. Which was also a mess. His papersid all over the ce, his files, his furniture.


    This isn''t good.


    Jacob stood behind the curtain. He probably didn''t think that I''d know exactly where he''d be, but I did


    so I made my way slowly over the to curtain. I didn''t want to rm him before he makes an even bigger


    mess. I reached the curtain and quickly pulled it opened it. He giggled and the wand lit up and next


    thing I knew I was sted by it. He gasped and dropped the wand. He must''ve thought that he hurt me


    because he ran away. Thank God. I picked up the wand and went up to dad''s room and ced the


    wand on their bed.


    I turned around and looked directly in their mirror and screamed the second I saw it. My pitch-ck hair


    was hot pink. Hot fucking pink. I hate pink.


    "JACOB!" I love Jill''s child but he drove me insane and I couldn''t take it anymore.


    "KELSEY!" my father called from the living room and I was just as livid as he was.


    I rushed over to him with tears streaming down my cheeks. "I HATE THIS! I HATE YOU AND I HATE


    JILL," I let it all out in one breath and sighed, "dad. I got the calling this year and I''m moving to


    Meledsan, I''m moving into mom''s old house. It''s mine anyway,"


    My dad remained silent. It seemed as If though he didn''t have anything say so he nodded his head. He


    opened his arms and I walked over into his hug. He kissed me on my head and pretty soon we could


    feel Jacob''s little arms forming a group hug. I giggled. I love that child so much. I released the hug to


    kiss him on his forehead and picked him up.


    "He found one of your wands and went crazy. I just came from school and found this mess,"


    Dad sighed. He already seemed tired and now he has to deal with this mess as well but maybe there''s


    a spell that can clean this mess up. The thought of finally being able to use magic made me excited,


    I''ve been studying it through the books and mainly from mom''s grimoire and I even know what I want to


    major in. The book has many useful tips that I can''t wait to try. Many witches pass down their grimoire


    from generation and mom made sure that I get the book I so deserve.


    She had it in a box titled, For Kelsey, I was supposed to open it when I get to practise real magic but


    dad gave me the box when I was six.


    No one knew what was in that box, not even dad and it has nothing to do with him too. Now I''m going


    to move to Meledsan and live in mom''s old home. Maybe that will bring us even more closer.


    Dad did know a spell to make it disappear and had the mess restored to its original state, as for my


    hair? Unfortunately, it couldn''t be fixed and I''m starting school soon. I don''t want to walk around


    campus looking like a clown.


    I tried magic. I tried washing it. I tried dying it back to my mom''s natural hair colour but nothing worked.


    I''ve lost her ck hair and this wasn''t sitting well with me.


    I gave up. There was nothing that could remove the pink hair and I was going to have to work with it.


    I sat down on my bed looking for a spell from mom''s book but nothing in there covers this.


    We had dinner as a family that night where dad told Jill that I''m moving out. She is partially why I''m


    moving out, I don''t want her as a mother and I feel hurt and betrayed that dad would do mom like that.


    She''s irreceable and he just did that. Married another woman and having a child with her. Noted that


    he is the best but no, he came from a new marriage the one between my dad and Jill. Upsetting.


    A week passed by and I''m finally moving to Meledsan. I was waiting to get blessed with magic so that I


    can at least know which direction in life. Like always, the ceremony was held at school and many proud


    parents came to watch their children get blessed. I sat in the circle and watch my non-binary mighty


    one Gravak appear, I''m a huge fan and a personal follower. I''m looking at joining their coven so that I


    can be surrounded by likeminded people. They started blessing the students and my juice got poured


    in my ss. I looked over at my father, he''s a white which. So is Jill and so was mom so I hope that I


    get the real colour here. The water stirred and settled down. It turned into white juice and my heart


    sank in relief. I expected the juice to be sweet like everyone imed it was, instead it was bitter like


    they say the ck juice taste like. Maybe to each tongue, it tastes different.


    I looked over at my dad. He seemed very proud. Very pleased by Gravak''s choice. So was I.


    I walked up to them so that we could say our goodbyes. Dad kissed me on the forehead, I kissed Jake.


    I know I''ll miss him but it''s time to grow now and to meet new people.


    Saying goodbye was my first step as a witch and the first step in maturity. I held my blue suitcase and


    searched for Margot, she was supposed to take me around the campus and then homest week


    already but like I''ve already mentioned I wanted to wait until I get the magic.


    She greeted me with a warm smile and twirled her finger around my pink hair which caused me to


    chuckle. She mentioned before that she likes the beautiful mistake on my head. I disagree.


    I took her to the rest of my luggage, she used her wand to shrink it down and carried it in her jeans


    pocket. Impressive. Then we rode with the school''s mat. I''ve never ridden on a mat before but Margot


    assured me that she has done that many times before already.


    "Just hold on tight. Okay?"


    I nodded my head and sat down behind Margot and put my arms around her waist. She looked back at


    me and grinned and gave me a wink as the sign that she''s about to lift off. The mat slowly rose which


    made me clutch her tighter. Then once it was in the air it just gave a little kick and we were off. She


    didn''t drive too fast because she knew I was scared and besides I loved the view.


    We flew over the houses and finally made it to the area where mansions were stacked upon mansions.


    She stopped before a Victorian looking mansion. The yard was covered in thick grass that grew high,


    there were leaves all over. Flowers of the garden withered. The house was covered in vines.


    We walked up to the porch, it was covered in spider webs and dust. I removed the key from the chain


    on my neck and opened the door. We both coughed upon entry, it was covered in thick dust.


    "Wow," Margot said as she waved dust particles away from her face. "This is a huge ce. Cleaning it


    will be a bitch,"


    Iughed. It will be. Margot dropped my things and waved her wand over it and it instantly started


    growing again. I had all my things in my house. That sounds so grown of me to say.


    Margot said she couldn''t stay any longer. She has other students to help out leaving me alone with my


    new mansion. I walked through the house. The entrance area was huge and impressive.


    The whole furniture was covered under white cloths and I took it off to see the most beautiful vintage


    sofas and tables. I opened the curtains of the lounge for natural light and looked at how neat the ce


    was, it was just the dust that was going to be a problem. I walked through the house getting to know


    each part of it. The kitchen was huge, it looked like a chef''s kitchen, my favourite feature was the pizza


    oven. I had tes, pots and everything else a kitchen would need.


    I walked down the hallway and saw many portraits of the women in mom''s family. Mom was also on the


    wall along with grandmother and so on. I feel like I should also get a portrait of myself and hang it next


    to mothers.


    I found my bedroom. It was bigger than my old lounge. There was arge Kingsize bed. There were


    bedside tables and a beautiful makeup table that had much perfume standing on it and makeup. There


    was a jewellery box with the most beautiful pieces in it.


    The room and an ensuite bathroom of course and it were huge. Arge bathtub and arge shower


    that I can''t wait to use. There was a closet with many towels, face cloths and so on. Toothbrushes,


    hairbrushes. Very helpful.


    I walked out of the bathroom to walk into the massive walk-in closet. My clothes can currently only fill a


    fraction of this. Mother and her ancestors lived an expensive life. How was I going to keep up? I''ll be


    needing a job to help me survive even though dad said he''d give me anything I need and want but I


    must do this on my own. Because I can.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
