flicker and then I hear thunder in the distance. Then my vision blurs in and out. Then there is a pain in my head. I scream, because it feels like it is being ripped apart. I fall to the ground while holding my head. That is when the vision happens.
                  “Enoch and Ezelira. Come to my chambers now”
                  “Yes, Lady Amelia, how may we serve you?” They both bow.
                  “We must leave now; Cordelia has found out the truth. We must go tell The Old Ones so we can end her. She is an abomination. I will not compete with my daughter. I’m the most powerful of all. Even The Old Ones are afraid of me. She will not have my title.”
                  “But mistress, she is your flesh and blood.”
                  “SILENCE! Her powers are more powerful than mine and I will not have that. Her father has lied and betrayed us all. He will die as well.”
    Amelia walk s to the window to look over the city. She thinks about how beautiful Ithaca is. She turns just in time to see an old guy enter the room.
                  “Abem, Darling, we must talk.”
                  I snap open my eyes, the image of the evil woman who is supposedly my mother fading to be replaced with the dingy walls of the house. I have no idea what I am supposed to do, so I walk to my room to get dressed. Thinking about everything that Kaleigh has told me. I need to speak with her. I go to my bedroom and look for some clothes. I get dressed, and then I hear a car pull up. Seconds later the door shuts.
                  Then my door flies open and my ‘father’ barges in.
                  “You little bitch, Lillian didn’t make it! This is your fault!” He walks over to me and slaps me so hard across my face that I hit the floor. “I want you gone! You are not my daughter. I hate you; I hate you with every bone in my body. My brother was always so perfect. He cast me out! So it’s your turn. GET YOUR THINGS AND LEAVE!” He walks out and slams my door.
    I am sobbing while I walk to my closet. I grab my clothes out of the closet, throw them on my bed, and find my suitcase in the back of my closet. I grab it and throw it on my bed. I put all my clothes into the suitcase, and then double check that I have packed anything important or valuable to me.  I already put the folder in my backpack, so I think I’m all set. I grab my things and walk to the front door. He isn’t anywhere in sight, but I don’t hesitate on the doorstep in case he feels like punishing me one last time before I leave.
                  I walk toward the woods; it is almost dark and I have nowhere to go, but the woods have always felt like home to me. Then I remember I could go to Kaleigh’s. She is the only person I know that can help me, but she said I wasn’t supposed to let on that she had told me the truth. I started to walk toward her cabin when someone step out of the shadows.
                  “Well well well, if it isn’t my precious daughter walking alone in the forest. Looks like your father, Dean, didn’t know this would happen; being tossed out by the uncle who had his wings striped.”
                  Tears start to stream down my face. “What do you want with me? None of this is my fault.”
                  “Oh boo hoo.” She grabs my arm hard. “Your father kept you away from me. I could’ve raised you right. But he had other plans. He didn’t want you to turn dark like his dear wife. Well little girl, he will be dead once he is found. He broke the law of the coven. He married a witch, when he was supposed to marry his own kind. I gave him a potion, you see. I wanted to know what it was like if a white angel and a white witch birthed a baby. Clearly, nothing. You don’t even know of your powers.” She paused and pushed me to the ground. ”Sweetheart, you will never
