My Mate?

" Are you Alright? Aiza!" Emily asked, concern filling her face. We are still in the library and my body is glued to the chair I was sitting in. Nothing is processing in my mind, everything is a jumbled mess. How everything is connected to the palace and Devils?

"Yeah! I don't know, nothing is making sense." I confessed, why is my life changed like this? I was just an ordinary witch but my life changed when I first got my vision when I was six years old. I thought that was normal to have visions and tried to hide them from everyone and I am successful in hiding but whatever happened two days ago where I was withering in pain made my parents and brothers worry.

I don't want them to be suspicious about anything and I don't want them to get in trouble because of me.

" I know but your answers lie in the devil king's palace Aiza and I want to suggest you something if you don't mind," Emily said nervously. I know if I want to get my answers then I have to start from the palace but I don't know how to do it.

" You can tell anything Em, you are practically my sister, and whatever you say will be for my benefit." I gave her a genuine smile because what I am saying is true. She is the sister I never had and we both are soul sisters. If she is in trouble or needs some advice then I will be the one with her advising her on what to do and what is right or wrong.

" Before I advise you anything, I want to tell you that you have a mate, Aiza!" She paused and waited for my reaction but I didn't give any because her words didn't surprise me somehow.

" Say Something!" She urged, I gulped a huge breath. This mess is giving me a headache and I don't know what to feel about the fact that I probably will have a mate and no one heard about a Witch having a mate ever.

" What do you want me to say, Emily! Nothing is normal about anything, from the visions to the mate." I whispered tiredly.

" I know Sweetie and you are one in a million and you were born for something big and you are not an ordinary girl nor an ordinary witch." Hearing her words started clearing the hog which clouded my mind. Maybe she is right! I was born for a purpose. I have to find the purpose and everything.

I nodded at her and sit straight gaining some light on whatever is happening with me.

"My advice for you is that you should come with me to the palace so you can figure out who your mate is." She threw the bomb at me making my eyes go wide with surprise and shock. What does she mean "by come with me to the palace?" How can I go to th palace? No one is allowed into the palace other than the people who work there and have an appointment with the king.

" How is that possible and why?" I asked dumbfounded by her suggestion.

" I will make it possible, Aiza and you have to be in the palace to find your mate. There are so many witches and warlocks working there and maybe one of them is your mate." Her words are making me think about the idea of going to the palace with her but what if it backfires and I will not meet my supposed mate and what if iam misunderstand about the mate and all?

" I don't think it is a good idea, Em! My family will never agree to it and don't get me started on Eliot and Elijah." She snorted at the mention of my brothers. Three of them don't get along because they want to keep me for themselves.

" Leave it to me to coax your parents to let you go with me and I will tell them that there is a position in the palace for a gardener and you love gardening but you have to help me with being emotional in front of your parents." She started blabbering her plan to me and I laughed at her antics. How is she, my friend! She is crazy!

" Let's get home first and see if your plan works or not." I laughed at her and we both got up from our chairs.

" By the way when are you going back?" I asked her while walking toward the exit. She turned her head towards me eyebrows raising in question.

" you are coming with me, so ask when are we going back." She said that it confirmed that my parents permitted me to go.

" We should not be so sure about it, Em! We didn't even ask our parents anything yet." I said while passing through the market where there are plenty and varieties of vegetables being sold. The scent from the vegetables, fruits, and variety of food wafted through the air reaching my nose and making my mouth water.

I spotted a food stall where they sell fried chicken and chicken is my life. I stopped in my tracks and Emily followed my action and stood still beside me. She turned towards me confused by why I suddenly stopped walking.

" What happened, Aiza! Why did you stop?" She asked, I just pointed towards the stall not able to talk anything while ogling at the chicken and licking my lips hungrily.

" Oh my gosh! You are still a kid, Aiza! Food stops you anywhere and will make you do anything." She chuckled at my googly eyes and hungry gaze.

" Whatever, Em! Just let's go and gobble all the chicken for the stall." I practically dragged her towards the stall laughing as we went back to our childhood. Most of Our childhood was filled with us eating fried chicken and fighting for it.

We ordered the sour and spicy chicken and I started stuffing my face with it moaning with each bite.

" This is so good!" I moaned out loud making Emily apologize to everyone present in the stall, but I didn't heed them and just started enjoying the lovely juicy chicken.

I was enjoying the chicken when suddenly I gasped due to the familiar heat and pain started spreading throughout my body. I painfully gulped the chicken and clutched my stomach which started feeling like someone is stabbing it over and over again.

I am not seeing anything and I am no longer hearing anyone besides me. My body collapsed to the ground and withering in pain. I don't know when but at some point I lost consciousness and I am glad for it because I no longer feel any pain.
