Acceptance

Devastated and perplexed and most of all, angry. Jenny felt betrayed.

"How could you hide something like that from me for all these years, I deserve to know who I truly am... My entire life has been nothing but a lie"

"I am very sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, Jen... I made a promise to your mother to keep you safe, it was her dying wish, what was I supposed to do?"

"Oh gee aunt I don't know... oh wait I do... How about telling me the truth!!" Jenny exclaimed

"But I just di-" Celia got interrupted

"After 12 years??? 12 whole years!!!... you knew I was having bizarre dreams, you were well aware I saw things, heard things and you played dumb... How could you? How am I even sure, that what I just saw was the truth?? For all I know, all this could be some kind of trick, are you even my aunt?? Huh??... maybe you picked me up from the street... who knows?? I can never trust you again!!!!" Jenny berated and stormed off to her bedroom.

Celia followed her upstairs, Jenny slammed the door shut against her, Celia stood outside to door to speak to her still.

"Honey... let's talk about this, I see you're hurt, I have lied to you, kept things from you but I did it to keep you, safe dear... There's a lot out there, Jen... Your mother, my sister made me commit to withholding the truth from you until you were ready, you saw everything... when your powers started peeking, I realized it was time to reveal the whole truth to you... Your mother's orders were clear! And I'm certain there's a solid reason she instructed me to do that... I had to go through with it, I'm sorry... open the door Jen... please"

A few moments later Jenny opened the door and squatted back on her bed.

"I wish she didn't do what she did" Jenny sobbed, Celia came closer and gave her a consoling hug.

"Oh sweetheart... it shattered my heart too but your mother was a hero, she sacrificed her life to save humanity, to save you... she loved so you much and I'm positive she's proud where ever she is... don't cry anymore darling" Celia comforted her.

"I do not want this life Aunt... I don't want to be a witch, being a witch killed my mother, witchcraft took my mother away from me, witchcraft is evil!!! And I do not wish to be a part of it... EVER!" Jenny said.

"Jen, don't say that; you can't stop being who you are, you're a witch and that's not a bad thing, trust me... It was your mother's wish that you become one, one day, witchcraft is not evil" Celia replied.

"No, Aunt! All these are happening way too fast... I know my mum wanted me to be a witch but I don't want to, end of discussion... Goodnight Aunt, I have to go to sleep now, it will be dawn soon" Jenny deadpanned and went to sleep.

Celia exhaled sharply.

"Goodnight honey..."

At exactly 7 am Jenny woke up, she didn't have strange dreams like she usually does, she brushed her teeth, had her shower, and got ready for school, Jenny didn't wear her hair up this time.

Celia was preparing breakfast.

"Jen... you're up early, I made pancakes honey, want some?"

Jenny gave a cold and dismissive response.

"Not hungry Aunt..."

Celia sensed Jenny was still in a foul mood, "Okay then... the school bus will be here soon, are you sure you won't have breakfast?"

"No Aunt I'm fine..." Jenny replied.

"Remember, everything that happened last night is a secret, you can't tell anyone not even Gary" Celia warned.

Jenny rolled her eyes and exhaled.

"Aunt for all I know... nothing happened last night, so I don't know what you're talking about"

"Not the exact response I was hoping for but that works too... And you should try controlling your feelings, your powers can heighten your emotions, so try to control them especially anger... it can be horrid when a witch is angry" Celia advised.

"I'M NOT A WITCH!!!" Jenny exclaimed and her outburst caused the house to shake to its foundation like a minor earthquake, the effect of it broke some things in the sitting room.

"This is what I'm talking about... See?? Maybe you shouldn't go to school today" Celia suggested.

Jenny,  terrified of what she has done, ran out of the house, didn't bother waiting for the bus anymore.

"Jenny wait! come back!" Celia called out but Jenny didn't answer, she was long gone, Celia knew she had to leave her to sort out her feelings on her own.

When Jenny got to school, she didn't want to be noticed by anyone, her thoughts were clouded with random things. She noticed her sight was sharper, she knew whoever is approaching the door before the person even enters.

She tried fighting it but all to no avail.

"Why is she chewing her gum so loudly," Jenny thought.

Every little thing seemed to tick her off. It was lunchtime and as usual, she sat at the table in the back of the cafeteria.

Jenny's day was starting to look up until Ginger walked up to her table, she knew Ginger came for trouble.

"Look who's sitting at the losers table... Jen stupid nerd!!!" Ginger remarked

"I don't want any trouble Ginger, please leave me alone" Jenny begged.

"Or what??! Slade won't come to your rescue this time!!"

"What do you want from me?" Jen said and stood up, she was starting to get angry.

"Oh my God, someone got guts!!" Ginger flicked her finger on Jenny's forehead.

"I told you I do not want any trouble!!" Jenny's eye color changed, had a hint of bloodshot.

"Stay away from Slade!! Or I'll make your life a living hell in this sch-" before Ginger could complete her statement something started choking her throat like she was being strangled, "Hh-help" Ginger gasped for air.

Everyone gathered around, Ginger fell on the floor fighting for air down her windpipes.

Jenny knew it was her doing, she grabbed her school bag and ran to the girl's bathroom, she stood by the sink and sprinkled some water on her face.

"I'm a monster!" She cried.

She knew she had to ditch school for the rest of the day, her Aunt was right, she should've stayed home.

Jenny ran home and something happened on her way, she saw her neighbor, Mrs. Harrigan being attacked by a burglar and got shot to death but it was a vision. Something told her she had to hurry to her neighbor's house, Jenny ran.

In a few minutes Jenny got to her neighbor's house few blocks from hers, her neighbor Mrs. Harrigan was in the sitting room watching "Ellen show" on the television, "Mrs. Harrigan is fine but why did I see what I saw then?" she thought.

When she turned back she sighted a man approaching the house, it was the man she saw in her vision, he was meters away. Jenny knocked immediately, Mrs. Harrigan opened the door.

Before the woman said anything Jenny rushed in like someone was chasing her, Mrs. Harrigan was confused.

"Is everything alright Jenny" Mrs. Harrigan was concerned.

"Ma'am please, a man is coming here, do not open the door for him, he's a burglar and he has a gun, call 911 now!!!"

Jenny said in a hushed tone as she didn't want to arouse suspicion.

The man came knocking on the door, Mrs. Harrigan became scared. Jenny advised that they stay quiet and lock themselves in the room or hide somewhere while they call the police because he might decide to break in.

Mrs. Harrigan obeyed they locked themselves in the bathroom and called the police. After knocking several times the burglar broke in but unfortunately for him, the police arrived and caught him red-handed, and just as Jenny said, they found a pistol on him.

Mrs. Harrigan couldn't thank Jenny enough,

"How did you know he was coming to attack me, you saved my life, thank you so much"

The police also appreciated the effort and risk Jenny took to help Mrs. Harrigan, the burglar was arrested and everyone was safe.

All the neighbors came out, including Jenny's Aunt, Mrs. Harrigan told everyone how Jenny saved her life.

After the police left, everyone went to their respective homes, including Jenny.

"You were right Aunt, I should have stayed home today, I hurt a girl in school today but not on purpose" Jenny explained.

Celia was silent for a while and then said.

"It wasn't your fault... everything today happened for a reason, it was a good thing you went to school... I wanna ask, how did you know that man was going to attack Mrs. Harrigan?" Celia asked.

"I saw it, it came to me like flashing images... I saw what was going to happen before it did" Jenny responded.

"Wow... you have the seer gift, very rare and special, if not for you, an innocent woman will be dead by now, do you still think witchcraft is evil Jen"

Jenny kept silent.

"Witchcraft is only what you make it to be... it can be used for good, it's the heart that matters..." Celia said.

"Aunt... I want you to teach me, I am ready and willing to learn witchcraft, you were right, it is who I am and I should embrace it, I'm sorry I was rude to you earlier"

"It's alright Sweetie... I understand how you feel and yes it'll be an honor to teach you the ways of a witch, Welcome to the Circle Jen, too bad it's just us two but it's better than nothing" she said and hugged Jenny.

"Aunt what if we're not the only witches, what if there are more but just in hiding like the two of us, I think it's time we send a call and make the Silver Circle great again."
