Wizard Blood

Chapter 3

"You are more valuable than what you think," said Edward. "You are beautiful and unique, nobody has or will ever have the character or personality you have." I smiled. He always made me feel better, he my only brother was one of the most important things for me. "You are way more prettier than that girl," he said.

The smile vanished. "What makes you think I was thinking about that?About her?" I said.

"Alison, I know you, and everybody was talking about what happened, about her getting in the guys bathroom. And well you know... I feel like you are kind of into Miguel..." He said.

"I'm not!" I told him.

"Sure," he said. "You can tell that to yourself, not me. You have years knowing him, being his friend. I mean it's obvious that you can feel something for him, you just seem to not want to admit it," he said. Sometimes he spoke in a way that made him sound older and wiser than what he actually was.

Yes, I have years being friends with Miguel, years being near him, years of jokes, years of smiles, years of bearing each other, and years of moments that we can't forget. He's part of my life, yes, but he is only a friend in my life. I don't think love is something that can exist between us. He doesn't look at me in that way.

"Maybe, I don't want to admit it because it isn't true," I finally said.

He just laughed, and started walking to the door. "Oh, before I forget," He said."Have you talked to dad about your last vision? He got early from work today, he's in the living room right now," and with that he left.

I stayed in my room. Thinking and thinking over and over again the same thing. Is there actually a possibility that I can be in love with Miguel, is there more than just a dumb temporary crush? I like him, I think he's cool and cute. He's ... chivalrous, polite, sympathetic, strong, honest, special, unique, and he has always been there for me. As a friend, obviously. I had also felt sometimes like there's more, but it can't be, it can't be love, it isn't. Then why do I feel like this sometimes? Because he's my friend, maybe? A very close one. What if I did date him? Will we have a long relationship like Kennedy's and Bryan's? No, because I'm going to a non magic college, while Miguel is going to a magic teaching college. What if we break up? What happens then? We will maybe hate each other, we wouldn't be as close as now. No! I don't want that! I prefer never dating him, and never losing him. I need to stop thinking about this.

I went to my small bookshelf and grabbed a book. But I couldn't read, I was still lost in my thoughts.

Then I went to the living room. I needed to talk to my father. "Hey, how was work today?" I said. I have a close relationship with my parents, and even a more special one with my father because of magic. I trust them, and they trust me, they know everything about my life. I know I can count on them for anything, they help me and support me. They are one of the most valuable things in my life. My family is always a priority for me.

"It was fine. How about school?" He said, while looking up from some papers he was reading.

He looked concerned, and I didn't like that. He was always very dedicated to his work, and it was hard sometimes that he didn't spend to much time with us.

"It was good," I said. "I want to talk to you about... My development with my ability. Do you have time?"

"Yes, your mother told me. I was waiting for you to come talk about it," He said, while looking straight into my eyes. He always did that, with everybody. He wouldn't talk to a person without doing eye contact with them. I always wondered if he saw something, more than just my eyes...I felt like he did.

"Dad, what's your special ability? I know you have one you told me, but you have never let me know what it is," I said. I had asked this question hundreds of times, but he is mysterious when it comes to it.

"You will know some day, sweat heart," he said. "Tell me about your vision."

"It was closer this time. I felt like it was showing the whole thing, but my alarm woke me up," I said "and I couldn't see anything else."

"So, you are saying that if your alarm hadn't woken you up, you had seen your sister in your vision?" He said.

I nodded.

"You are making progress fast. A few visions you have had, and you are now seeing the people involved," He said. "I wonder what other things you can do? What will your ability let you do? How more will it develop?"

"Believe me, I have the same questions," I said.

"You have gotten a very, very special ability. You know not everybody develops one, and you developed one of the best. I had been investigating a little and found some good stuff. With time you can be able to see visions while you are awake, not only in dreams. Also,  if you're very good, you can focus on a subject, look for the future instead of the future looking for you. " He said. 

"Wow, that sounds fascinating!" I said. " I can't believe I will be able to do that."

"It's possible, we don't certainly know yet for sure," He said. "We also need to talk about your college plans."

"We already talked about that. I'm going to Concordia College." I said.

"Haven't you heard about the new program? It might be helpful for you. We can talk after dinner about it, their options and the programs they have." He said.

"I don't think I will change my mind, but fine," I told him.

"You will," he said. Again looking at my eyes. I looked down.

My mother came. "Dinner is ready," She said.

We left the living room, and went to the dinning room. While I ate I thought several things. I could see the future, well kind of see it, or dream it. But what will actually happen with my life? What will I do? What's in my future? What has life predicted for me?
