10 chapter 10
The week passed by quickly and before I knew it, it was Saturday the day my mum comes to Shreya's place for dinner the day we tell her the truth, I had thought a lot about this but I was still nervous.
At eight o clock Shreya's doorbell rang both of us turned towards the door then turned to each other, we took a breath together, I nodded to her she stood from the sofa, turned off the t.v, then went to answer the door. My hands were sweaty I was trying to breath properly but I knew that if any vampires were nearby they could probably hear me breathing
"Hi Hun, are you ok?" My mum asked as I felt her hand on my shoulder I opened my eyes only now realising they were shut
"Mum, you came" I told her as I hugged her hard
"Oh" she said surprised she hugged me too as she laughed lightly
"I'll go prepare dinner" Shreya announced
"Oh I'll help" I said standing up
"No Ray you stay here and catch up with your mum, I'm sure she would like that?" she said the last part looking at my mum who nodded towards me, I sat back down and we talked as Shreya went into the kitchen. I knew she didn't need my help all she needed was magic but I was so nervous that's why I had wanted to go into the kitchen and I had a feeling Shreya knew that and that's why she stopped me from going in.
We ate our steak and mash in silence, Shreya and I kept looking at each other across the table, my mum sat next to me trying to start a conversation but she only got small answers from Shreya and I so she gave up, after dinner I cleaned the table, then as Shreya and I were doing dishes mum came in
"Here let me help with the dishes" she said as she rolled up her sleeves
"No Mrs Morris you go sit we'll do these" Shreya told her as she handed me an empty dish
"Ok number one" mum said showing her index finger "I think we have reached the stage where you can call me Zoya, number two" she showed two fingers "what am I suppose to do by myself" she whined, seriously, she whined like a five year old she even stomped her foot Shreya stared at her with her mouth hanging open then I saw mums upper lip twitch I knew then that she was joking she did that sometimes when I got upset and it would make me laugh so guess what I did?, that's right I laughed, I laughed hard I was holding my stomach from the pain mum laughed too then Shreya laughed we laughed together all the nervousness gone when we stopped and wiped away our tears mum spoke again "ok now do you two mind telling me what's going on?" Mum asked folding her arms across her chest, Shreya and I looked at one another nerves returning. When we didn't speak she carried on "I wasn't born yesterday people I know when my daughter is nervous, I know when something is wrong, now I know that something is wrong so please tell me" she was nearly crying, Shreya looked at me with a look that said 'what are you waiting for, tell her' but I couldn't so naturally mum came up with her own conclusion "oh my god you're pregnant" she said covering her mouth
"What? Mum no I'm not pregnant ewww, I don't even have a boyfriend mum ewwww" I told her making a disgusted face she recovered
"Well if you were pregnant, that would be the worst thing you could tell me" she walked closer to me and held me by my shoulders "so whatever is wrong cannot be that bad" I thought about that the woman had a point so I decided to tell her rip it off like a bandaid Like Shreya Had done with me.
"Mum I'm a witch" I told her Shreya cursed really loudly but I couldn't see her as she was behind me, mum was still holding me she wasn't moving "mum" I patted her on the shoulder she 'woke up'
"I need to sit down" she sat in a chair I turned to see Shreya who was red shaking with anger
"Mum I'm a witch, what happend to breaking it gently Ray?" Shreya whisper shouted at me when mum had sat down
"You didn't beat around the bush with me remember, you just told me" I reminded her she put a hand to her head saying something under her breath
"Oh wow, my daughter is a witch, this is just great" mum was saying sarcastically
"Mum" I sat down across from her and Shreya sat next to me mum looked up smiling I held her hand in mine "I'm not joking" I stated she looked deep into my eyes for what felt like hours but was probably seconds, I stared into her eyes too willing her silently to believe me, then her face changed her eyes changed she shot up from the chair like she was on fire her chair fell over too I got up "mum?" I said slowly as I started to walk around the table to get to her
"No, no you stay away from me" she shrieked tears running down her face I stopped abruptly "oh my god, my child is evil, oh Jesus my saviour please protect me" she drew a cross on her chest the same way we did every Sunday and out of habit I did it too "DONT YOU DARE, DONT YOU DARE DRAW THE SACRED CROSS YOU'RE EVIL" she screamed my mum had never raised her voice at me like that I was stunned
"Ok Zoya you need to calm down" Shreya said before mum lunged towards her
"You, you did this, you made my daughter evil" mum started to pull Shreya's hair I ran to them holding my mums arm
"No mum let go, let her go" I was shouting but I shouldn't have bothered as Shreya disappeared, she had blinked behind mum, and whilst mum stood there stunned Shreya took a chair and put her hand out palm pointing upward and rope appeared in her hand, she grabbed mums shoulders from behind and sat her down mum didn't struggle one bit as she was still stunned so Shreya easily tied her to the chair. By the time mum 'came back' she was tied firmly and we were both stood in front of her, she looked down
"What, why, let me go" she struggled against her binds, no chance, I thought
"We'll let you go mum as soon as you hear us out, then you can leave" she didn't say anything she stopped struggling too I took a deep breath and let it out slowly, that was hard
"Mum we're not evil, despite what you may think," mum scoffed not believing me so I explained "mum if you're evil you can't enter church right?" I asked and when she nodded I carried on "I became a full on witch on my sixteenth, mum that was two weeks ago, and I went church with you last Sunday, and I'll go tomorrow" she looked thoughtful I waited a while before I crouched down next to her and started to untie her feet, as I looked into her eyes
"Raven, what are you doing,?" Shreya asked nervously
"It's ok Shreya mum isn't going to try and hurt us anymore, right?" The last bit was directed towards my mum she shook her head. I got the last of the rope off and as soon as I did mum stood up fast and hugged me
"I'm sorry, sweety I'm so sorry I'm sorry, I love you I'm so sorry" mum kept chanting as she kissed me all over my face and head
"Mum it's ok let go mum, mum let go" she finally did and after a while we sat down at the table and tried this again
"I'm sorry I tied you up" Shreya announced
"I'm sorry I tried to rip your hair out" mum answered they nodded to each other "and I'm sorry I shouted at you Ray I'm so sorry Hun" she cried
"It's ok mum I forgive you" I told her with a reassuring smile she smiled at that I was happy then knowing that this would only get easier "Well this is nice" I told them they just smiled
"So you're not evil?" Mum asked Shreya, Shreya shook her head no mum nodded,mum asked a lot of questions, again we stayed up well into the night it was two in the morning by the time we decided that this was enough, mum knew nothing about the other beings just witches we didn't think it was a good idea to mention that we were immortals and that there was only two ways she could be with me forever, no we decided that, that was a story for another time. I didn't think I could handle another tantrum from her, Shreya laughed when I thought that but she disguised into a cough I looked at her evilly she looked away
"Ahem, uhh Zoya it's too late for you to go home I think you should stay here" Shreya announced when mum nodded she smiled and carried on "come on we'll show you to your room" we climbed the stairs and we turned to our right Shreya opened the first door it was dark and dull in here Shreya and I stood in the doorway whilst mum went in Shreya turned on the light.
"Well this is ..... Nice?" Mum exclaimed not really liking the room the bed was in the corner on the right and it was bare there was a vanity desk on the left and there was a window with a thick coat of dust on it mum walked to the vanity desk and brushed two fingers across the surface there was a thick coat of dust mum looked disgusted. She nodded "I know what this is" she told us Shreya smiled "this is pay back, isn't it?" Shreya's smile vanished "I pulled your hair I went to attack you so you do this, well I'm not staying I think I'll go home"
"No wait Zoya this isn't revenge wait please, I just wanted to show you something" she nodded towards me so with a smile we entered the room I lifted my arms in the air
"Powers of the witches rise make this room clean and homely" the room started to change the dust rose, turned gold, and vanished, on the bare bed appeared sheets the window now had curtains to match the sheets the vanity desk, now dust free, held different hand creams, and perfumes I smiled and with one last spell a vase with yellow roses appeared on a bed side table that I also conjured up when it was finished mum gasped both her hands covering her mouth as she shrieked happily jumping around like a five year old.
"Nicely done" Shreya nodded giving me a high five I turned to mum who had tears running down her face now looking calmer
"Mum, are you ok?" I asked hesitantly
"You've never cleaned this nicely before" she sniffed as she looked around I laughed she was right I hated cleaning "you should clean more often" mum added I was gob smacked as Shreya and mum laughed at my expense I shrugged then left the room leaving the two childish women to it, I easily found my room then crawled under my covers without getting changed and went to sleep as I was falling I felt a kiss on my forehead and cheek but it could've been a dream I wasn't sure.
