We are Home

It's been an hour since we left our coven, and I have been already feeling homesick. All these emotions are overwhelming me. Emily is also sitting silently, we just talked normally about how much time will it take for us to get to the palace and what can I expect there.

" Hey! How much more time is there for us to reach?" I asked, stretching my body. My body feels stiff and tired from just sitting in one place.

" I think, just 30-40 minutes?" She answered, taking out some snacks from her bag.

" Umm, if you don't mind, can I ask what happened between you and Elijah?" I know, it's not right to get between them but she is my best friend and I can't see her sad and broken. Elijah may be my brother but Emily is my best friend who stood with me always and it's my turn to be there with her.

" What are you talking about? Nothing happened!" She is not making any eye contact and she is also behaving like Elijah dodging my question and going into defensive mode.

" Do you think that I only have the gift of visions and a presence In me? I can easily tell that Elijah covered your mouth and dragged you away from there and I didn't stop him because I didn't sense any danger from him to you." Her mouth was agape and eyes wide. I have a smug smile playing on my lips seeing her speechless.

" Ugh, why do you have to have the detective sense in you? It was nothing and I can't share details with you on what your brother did but he is a real jerk." She gritted out, I scooted closer to her and placed my hand on her hand to console her but my eyes turned upside and images started playing in my head like a movie. I don't have any control over my mind and body.

I saw everything which happened between them that I shouldn't have. I gasped out loud once I took control of my senses and immediately snatched my hand away from her. I shouldn't have touched her, those images are going to be in my head forever. I have to wash my eyes with holy water.

" Did you get any vision? Right now!" Emily asked, curiously. It didn't feel like a vision but like I have read or rather seen whatever was in her head just by touching her.

" I don't think so!" I admitted guiltily. I have to tell her the truth because she is helping with my situation and she needs to know that I have entered her head without her permission.

" I think, I have got my new gift!"

" New gift? What is it?" She asked, curiously facing me and waiting for my answer. How can I tell her that my brother had done her dirty by seducing her and left her hanging at the last and I saw all of their private moments?

" When I touched your hand, something happened with my eyes, like it turned white right?" I asked her, wanting to explain to her better.

" Umm, yes!" She answered.

" I lost control over my head and body and unknowing I saw everything through your head I guess. I mean I saw what happened between you and Elijah in the dressing room." I hang my head low with shame. I can't look into her eyes.


" W….What? You saw everything?" She stuttered and I just nodded my head without raising my head. I feel so ashamed of myself. If the gift is to intrude into someone's head without their permission and rob their memories then I don't need this kind of a gift.

" You can control it by practicing. Don't worry, Aiza! You will gain control of your head and body soon." She answered in my head. What if I don't gain any control over my head and body? What if I intrude into everyone's heads whenever I touch them? I am scared that I am going to be insane with this.

" I will help you with everything. Just trust me!" Maybe I should just listen to her rather than overthinking and thinking negatively about everything. I should name her, right? I am just calling her "she", "her" and "presence in my head" but not with a name. I should ask her for her name.

" Do you have a name?" I thought that question in my head. Is this work? Just thinking works? Will she hear my voice if I think about the questions?

" I can hear you even if you just think something and no I don't have a name in this life but you can name anything, you wish." She replied, Emily is still awkwardly waiting for me to answer but I am having a conversation with Lora. Lora? Lora! Yes, LORA! I like this name and I am going to call her Lora.

" I am so sorry, Emily! Can you please wait for a second!" I tuned into my head happily to announce her new name and I know maybe she already heard the name but I am excited to tell her the name.

" I think, I got a name for you and I don't know if you like it or not but it just came to my mind." I waited patiently for her answer.

" I'll love any name you choose, Aiza! So don't worry and just tell me the name. I am dying here to hear it." She is as much excited as me and I can literally feel her excitement through our bond.

" Lora! Lora is your name. Is it beautiful? Do you like it?" I started bombarding her with questions.

" It's a beautiful name, Aiza! I loved it! Lora! I like the sound of it." She answered excitedly.

" Okay, I am going back to Emily! Bye!" She answered back and it became silent in my head. I am missing her presence already. I am liking talking to her.

" Yes, I saw everything and I don't know how I did it but it just happened and I am sorry for intruding like that." She took my hand in hers but I tried to remove it from hers afraid that I will again look into her head.

" It's Okay, Aiza! You don't have to be guilty about something you don't have control over." She is being so kind to me, I don't know how I got her in my life. She is not angry that I looked into her head but she is being empathetic here.

I hugged her and cried into her neck, thankful that she is my best friend and thankful that I got her in my life, and thankful that she is understanding everything and being with me.

Our car stopped abruptly making us break free from each other. I looked outside the window and my eyes bulged out with shock, Awe seeing a beautiful mansion standing in front of me.

It is a big mansion with big gates and stood magnificently. Something stirred in me looking at the mansion. Lora is restless in my head, butterflies swarming in my stomach.

" We reached the palace, Aiza! Come let's get down." Emily said opening her door and getting down. I followed her and stepped onto the ground.

I stood in front of the beautiful mansion which stood proudly in its glory.

" We are Home!" Lora whispered in my head which made my heart skip a beat. What does she mean by we are home?
