After Mia took me to Isabelle, well dragged me to be exact, Isabelle gave Mia some lessons so that Isabelle can talk to me alone. I told her I was Okay with Mia being around but Isabelle said no. I was sitting on a chair, lost in my thoughts, staring at Mia & Jason who were practising fighting in the arena when all of a sudden Mia punched Jason in the face instead of casting a spell & he couldn't stop the blow.

I was about to laugh when Mia spoke.

"Oh I'm so sorry Jason. I-I was so frustrated with you that I punched you. I didn't mean to, though but you weren't letting me win so out of frustration, Ah fuck it. I'm sorry" Mia continued blabbing.

She bent down to examine a groaning Jason when all of a sudden cracking of bones could be heard & Jason transformed into a wolf. A big beautiful pitch black wolf with dark green eyes.

I stood from the chair on which I sat & continued to stare. What the hell!! Jason's a werewolf, not an ordinary one but more like an Alpha. But why was he working for Isabelle, then? I made a mental note to ask Isabelle later.

Jason's growling at Mia put me out of my thoughts & made me look at them. He charged at her when Isabelle came wide-eyed & said something which made him stop & he left through the door on the right side of the arena.

"Well, his wolf can be dangerous sometimes" I looked at Isabelle, completely astounded by what just happened.

"Mia, Sebastian wanted to see you"

Mia nodded her head & put on her black leather jacket. She looked beautiful today in her badass outfit. A ripped denim jeans with a crop top & black leather jacket, this outfit suited her.

"So, Guess we're all alone" Isabelle sat in the chair next to mine & motioned for me to sit as well.

"What just happened?" I asked her looking at the fighting spot.

"Oh don't worry about that. Jason's a werewolf, an Alpha to his pack. His father died a week ago & since then he's having some trouble dealing with his wolf. It takes over sometimes" She said carelessly but after looking at me she realized I had a worried expression.

"He'll be fine" She held my hand in hers & reassured me. I nodded & gave her a tight lipped smile. Silence filled the environment.

"What was it that you wanted to talk to me about?" I said finally breaking the silence. I wanted to ask her why Jason was working for her but then I thought I'll ask Jason about it.

"Oh- I almost forgot" She laughed, her laugh echoing through the empty arena.

"I wanted to talk about you" I looked at her confused at what she just said.

"What about me?" I asked, fidgeting with my fingers.

"That what are you? You know that you're Jacinda's second born, right?" I nodded.

"So what could be so special about you that you could see Sebastian & the portal when it's been cloaked via cloaking spell"

"I don't know. Mom left me a letter & told me that I was born special, that she could feel it. She told me I had a brother" I said, sadly.

"Did you ever meet him? Jonathan?" I asked, my eyes welling up.

"Yes" She whispered softly.

"And he was beautiful & magical, just like you. Now I see why Jacinda told you that you are magical" I smiled & laughed a little at that.

"Do you believe in magic?" I asked. I know I was being stupid to ask her that. Of course she does!! She casts spells, duh!

"Of course, I do. Those who don't will never find it. In order to find your specialty, you must believe in magic"

"I don't know, Isabelle. I do believe in magic but I don't feel like I'm special. It's like I don't believe myself" I said.

"You are special, Eloise. Your brother had magic since he was your mother's first born but you are special because you're not her first born yet I feel like you have magic. And in order to find what speciality you hold, you must believe in yourself" She said which made me smile.

Suddenly I remembered about the language that I kept speaking whenever I needed something magical.

"Uh Isabelle, I need to tell you something"

"What, sweetie? You can tell me anything you want!"

"When a piece of shattered glass pierced into my feet, it hurt me. It was hurting me so much that I was about to faint when all of a sudden I said something in a different language & my feet stopped hurting. Apart from that, Alex once twisted his ankle & I healed him through the very same language I spoke to open a hidden library in our mansion" I told her the strange things that started happening to me a few weeks ago.

"See, I told you that you were special. You're mother's right, Eloise. You have magic you just need to believe in yourself " She said, placing her hands on my shoulder.

"And that language you're talking about is Latin"

"The language you spoke to stop Jason from attacking Mia & on the day when I portaled here, right?"

"Yes, you are right. It's the language of witches. Witches use this language to cast spells, with the help of ingredients sometimes. You couldn't understand it then because it was coming to you on it's own" She said, looking into the space thoughtfully.

"That happens rarely" She said to herself. But it was loud enough for me to hear it.

Isabelle was lost in her thoughts when I asked her a question.

"Can you tell me about my mother?" She looked at me, confused.

"I mean about her when she used to be a practicing witch"

"Of course. She was one of the strongest witch of our coven. She gave up her position so that I'll become the leader of our coven" She said, taking a deep breath.

"I was weaker than her. She was stronger. But she thought giving up her position will anger our ancestors & that's how they'll take her powers & will give it to me. She was right. That's what happened" She said, now tears falling one after another.

"I would never be able to forgive myself for that" She was crying & had her face in her palms.

"It's okay, Isabelle. She sacrificed so you could live. She bore so you wouldn't have to. She thought you are kind & she was right. She did the right thing" I smiled, now I was the ready to let my tears cascade my face.

I was taken aback when Isabelle hugged me & cried her heart out.

"I miss her" She said through her sobs.

"Me too"

"Can you send me back? It's been two days" I said, wiping my tears.

"Yes, I'll ask Miranda to send you back. But do come here again. When you're around, I feel like Jacinda is around me" She said, sniffing & wiping her tears.

"I'll come to your world sometime to meet Alex"

"Yeah sure"

I hugged her & went to my room to pick my stuff. I changed into my Homecoming's dress because I didn't want to take Mia's dress with me.

Coming outside, before Isabelle could ask any questions I spoke.

"I changed so I'll return Mia's dress" I smiled at her.

"Just like your mother" She hugged me & waved at me.

Miranda created a portal, I guess she's a warlock because if witches could create portals then Isabelle would've done so.

I jumped into the portal & tried hard not to faint again. Everything was so blue here when all of a sudden I landed in a garden. I looked at my surrounding, it was the park near my house. Richard mansion was only a few minutes walk from the park where I landed.

Picking up my dress with one hand & heels with other, I started walking in the streets. It was night time & no one was outside, felt like it was midnight since the moon shone brightly.

I was walking when I saw a poster with 'MISSING' written on it & the picture looked so much like mine's. Inching closer to see who it was, I was left slack jawed. It really was my picture. It said I've been missing. I must be dreaming. I mean what was that supposed to mean. I was gone only for two days & Aunt Chelsea filed a report that I've gone missing.

I quickened my pace to reach my house. When I did, I clicked open the door since I had the keys. Aunt Chelsea was awake. Thank god. She was in the kitchen drinking water.

"Aunt" I called her.

Shocked, she dropped the glass & turned around.

"Eloise" She said, happily.

"In flesh" I laughed at what I just said.

She ran at me & hugged me.

"Thank god you're okay" She said kissing my forhead.

"Where were you, Eloise? Did something happen to you?" She started bombarding me with questions & examined me carefully.

"I'm fine. Nothing happened" I smiled at her & placed my hands on her shoulder to calm her down.

"I thought I lost you" And she started crying.

"No you didn't"

"Come here. Sit. You look tired. Wait, let me get you something to drink" I hated to make her worry but she looked kind of cute right now.

"Calm down, Aunt. I'm fine. I'm not tired. Just sit here with me"

Finally she calmed down & took my hand in hers.

"Where have you been, Eloise?"

"I-I"

"Before you lie to me, know that you can't lie" She said with her brows creased. I smiled at her.

"I wasn't going to lie"

"Yes you were"

"No I wasn't"

"By the way, nice try changing the topic. Where have you been?" She caught me. Fine, I'll tell her.

"I drank too much at the homecoming party that I passed out in the woods"

"Lie" She said folding her arms over her chest.

"Fine" I shook my head & laughed lightly.

"Why did you file a report that I'm missing?" I asked, changing the topic so she wouldn't ask that where I've been.

"Because you were missing Eloise. We looked for you everywhere. The woods you're talking about was the first place I tried to find you" She exasperated, finally annoyed by where the conversation was going.

"Okay Okay. I was at a friend's place"

"Yeah, you sure were. I called your friends, every single one & they said they haven't seen you"

"Come one Aunt. I was gone for two days!!! Not much of a big deal, now is it?" I asked, lifting my one eyebrow.

"Yes it is when your niece is hiding something" She said, standing up & finally angry.

"Fine don't tell me. But who said you were missing for two days?" She looked at me as if I've grown horns on my head.

"You've been missing for two months now"

"What do you mean?" Now I looked at her as if she's grown horns on her head.

"What I mean is that today is 25 of November. Simple as that" With that she left me, standing there.

I must look like an idiot right now. What was happening? Wasn't introduction of Kingdom White strange enough that this time difference between the two worlds popped up? I portaled to Kingdom White just two days ago! How is it 25 of November when Homecoming was on 25 of September? Two months. It's been two fucking months! Maybe the time there moves slower as compared to Earth's!

I held my hair in frustration & slumped on the couch.

I might go insane at the sudden revelations!
