Getting better with time

Evelyn is growing quickly, and so is her learning ability. Whatever I teach her, she follows just like that. She have started performing many magic on her own. Her ability to remember so many chants is just awesome. She is by far my best student.

" Granny, can I turn the leaves into butterflies ? "

She asked.

We were in the garden continuing with her training. She have mastered stopping anything coming close to her with the intention of attacking her.

" No darling, the plants suffer because of it and that's the reason I don't do it. We have to protect the nature and not hurt it. "

I said caressing her head.

" But I want to see the butterflies ! "

She said pouting.

" In that case, ask your Dads to take you to the butterfly garden and you can watch them the whole day. But no hurting the plants, is that clear ? "

I said strictly.

I may be a very loving and spoiling Granny for her but as a witch and her teacher, I have my own rules and she must follow them.

I have suffered a lot because of my mistake and I don't want anyone to face what I had. And especially not my granddaughter !

" Granny ! "

She said trying to be cute and get permission from me.

" Nothing doing ! I said NO ! "

I said crossing my arms.

" Ok. "

She said sadly.

I have to give it to her, she have learned to do things without even knowing the chants. There are a few things that aren't a big deal and so, a born witch can perform them just by wishing on it and all of her concentration and power. Of course, it doesn't applies to the big and powerful ones.

I was eight years old when, I mastered it. Of course, my teacher didn't let me know about it and so, when you don't know a certain thing exists, you don't pay much attention to it.

She is growing into a very beautiful girl and I am sure she will be a classy lady one day. Amber teaches her all the good manners Bella had taught her and I teach her magic.

We are trying hard to teach her things good for her and the men in the house are ready to spoil her to beyond limit !

Amber and I don't like them spoiling her this much but they don't listen to us. According to them, she is gonna grow up so fast and then once she will stop growing, they won't be able to spoil her and she too won't be attached to them after growing up.

Every time they use these emotional words and make us give up on their stubbornness. She have passed the picking up in arms and carrying around stage so, they don't carry her around anymore.

I remember Steve telling Amber the same. It isn't even a month and she have already passed that stage of her life.

We couldn't get her admitted to school because of her speedy growth and so, we teach her the basics at home. She can read and write already.

Earlier she used to ask us to tell her a story and now, she reads it out to us.

She have stopped sleeping in Amber's room. She either sleeps with her Dad who isn't with her mom or simply sleeps with me.

I feel bad for them. They are sandwiched between my sons. They both are over possessive for both of them.

I am glad, Kevin accepted Eve as his own and treats her like one otherwise, it would have been a very bad situation. Her birth had brought him back and nothing else in the world would have done that.

Amber and Eve receive both of their love, care, concern along with their possession and obsession.

Eve simply starts crying when they get started over her and they stop at once. But poor Amber can't even do that ! Because if, she starts crying, they get more touchy with her to make her calm down and increase the fury of the other !

I was thinking about all this when suddenly the wind started blowing fast and hard. I looked for Eve and that little monster, created a big tornado.

It reminded me of the day everyone in the house discovered she is witch. She have improved way too much. Back then when she used to let her fingers loose, the tornado used to disappear. But now, she is looking at me and holding her hair in place with both of her hands.

" Well done, tiny one. "

I said appreciating her.

" Stop it right now, Eve ! And mother, don't inspire her to create a bigger tornado which will take our home with it ! "

Amber said panting.

She came running to the garden.

" It's so much fun mom. "

Eve said happily.

" You are letting all the dust inside the home. You then don't help me cleaning it. You just know how to make a mess but don't know how to clean it !

Why will you ? Your Dads and uncles have spoiled you to an unimaginable extent, Evelyn ! "

Amber said seriously.

" Relax girl, she is just practicing her magic. "

I said to Amber after looking at Eve's sad face.

She was expecting appreciation from her mother but she got scolded for creating a mess and it broke her heart.

I am not saying Amber is wrong, she is right about Evelyn making a mess and not cleaning it up but a little bit of appreciation won't kill her !

Amber still isn't a fan of her daughter being a witch and performing magic.

" Mother now you don't join hands with the men team in spoiling her ! "

Amber said worried me changing the team.

" No dear, I am not on their side. I am still on your side. I am just saying appreciate her and then, make her clean the mess ! "

I said softly.

" Mom, you don't like me practicing magic ? That's why you are never happy whenever I perform anything. Not even when, Granny says that was a hard-to-do spell. "

Eve said sadly and went inside.
