11. I was a Witch ?

Aaliya told me to take rest, I went to wash my face. When I washed my face and looked up in the mirror I screamed. My face was covered with blood, I checked the tap it was normal water. I splashed water on my face again and checked was I hurt? Nope, not at all. So from where did this blood come? I was confused, I splashed water again on my face and saw the mirror. To my shock I wasn't seeing my reflection, it was of somebody else's I see an old Woman staring back at me with blonde hair almost going bald. I touched my face and I found it doing the same. I was about to leave when the doors slammed shut.

I heard a voice calling, "Anamika...." To my shock, I turned back and said, " What do you want Amoriya?" I stopped myself and asked, " What did I just say now? And in what language am I speaking?" I heard a voice say, "Oh dear, you know very well anyone can remember their past life, if it comes in front of you. If you know I am Amoriya you must also know whose reflection you saw just now. Don't you?" I remembered something and said, "It's me." Amoriya said, " Yes of course it is you, dear." I asked, "Why can't you come in front of me Amoriya? Are you scared?" Amoriya in rage said, "Don't try to hypnotize me with your honey flavoured voice I know...." Someone slowly starts to appear in front of me, I almost gasped and said, "Tell me Amoriya, How are you?" The person in front of me looked like a very young lady with black hair and thick hair touching her shoulders. She was wearing a black coloured Gown with an overcoat (Why does she wear something like that?) She said, " I am fine but dead Anamika and you know that too."

I asked her, " Who are you? And why am I calling you Amoriya? Who is this Anamika? Is it me?" She spoke like a zombie, her reply, "I am a witch back in 11 th Century my name is Amoriya. Your name is Anamika we both belong to the same Coven. We both were guarding our coven along with Nadiya and Amal they both were White witches and we both Black witches. We were guardians for different directions of our coven which is wide spread around 500 square kilometres. We were covering half of our country. Our country was Lebanon it spreads across 10,452 square kilometres. They both were guarding North and South side, while we both Guard the East and West. Everything was fine until one day our head of the coven decided to throw out the black witches for their unbearable behaviour in the country. The rest you know."
