Hello everyone, author here. My book was really cringey, so i shifted around some things.

Here is my newly edited chapter...

Flashback

The wind brushed my hair against my face as i stood there alone in the cold dark woods. My guests were yet to arrive and i was contemplating running away from this. What's the point i wondered. I would only be opening back up old wounds.

I was turning on my heel, positioning myself to leave when i felt another's presence.

Could it be i wondered?

No, they are gone i said to myself. However, this did not stop me from turning around.

I swear one day my curiosity will kill me.

There they were, right in front of me. I wanted to run straight into their arms yelling mom dad, but i just couldn't. I stood there frozen. It was like when i would get visions or have one of those dreams. I could not move. Memories of me and my parents came rushing back. It was the da they had told me about my powers and i wanted to try them out. It was my first time, i was 4 and just casually growing flowers in my backyard.

This was when they told me how special i was, though at the time i did not know in which way they meant special. It was the best day in my life. So simple yet so beautiful.

I snapped out of my flashback when i felt a salty tear stroll down my cheek.

"Mom dad"? i finally managed to choke out.

"Yes honey it's us" said mom. I felt tears stream down my face like the nile river. It was uncontrolable. Since they died i have not shed a tear once. I always looked happy, but i was empty on the inside. Now seeing them again was letting out everything i kept bottled up inside, which was quite a lot. My sister always got all the attention, not that i minded much. But it hurt that my adopted parents did not even notice how emotionless i was becoming.I was way too good at hiding my emotions. I could be an actress if i weren't so lazy.

"I thought you guys were gone forever" i said through sobs.

"We had no choice other than faking our death, but we came back to warn you. You're in danger". "And now you need to prepare for what is to come".

"I really wish we could tell you more, but they wont let us".

"Who is they"? i questioned.

"There are some people trying to take you're powers. If you let them, there will be severe consequences for the world". Dad finished

"What what will happen?"

"Nothing good if you don't prepare.". Mom said harshly. I love her, but she was taking the whole tough love too seriously.

"What do i need to do" i asked. My mood abruptly changed when i realized how many innocent lives could be lost.

"Go to our old house, go to the basement and you will know what to do from there". Said mom.

"What is down there?"

"Grimoires and more things you need as a young witch"

My voice went ten octaves higher."Did you just say-"

I did not get to finish my sentence seeing as i was so rudely cut off

"Here, take this and never take it off" mom said handing me a diamond and blue bracelet. It was stunning.

Before i could say another word my parents had vanished into thin air, leaving me alone in the woods for crazy rapists to get me. Thanks mom and dad.

Later that night i made my way over to my old house, which still stood there covered in cobwebs. I did as i was instructed and went to the basement.

I was shocked when i found all these spell books and witchy stuff.

I don't even know why i was surprised, they said it would be there.

It had been three years and Malia's magic had only gotten more powerful. About six months ago she left to study abroad, but she actually went to visit some witches her mom and dad had told her about in a journal she found in the basement of her old house.

Flashback Over

Malia had just gotten off the phone with her sister who had called to tell her about their parents passing, Elena told her how much they needed her.

"I have to go back" she whispered to herself. Malia was never close to her adoptive parents, but that still didn't stop her from being affected by their death.

Malia packed up everything she owned, even her 'How I Met Your Mother' posters. She dumped it all into the car. She got into the drivers seat and tapped her hand on the steering wheel.

Malia thought to herself. 'How stupid am i to go back to that hell', but she knew she had no choice.

So with one final glance at her New York apartment she started her engine and took off for the long treacherous journey to Mystic Falls.
