him, “Stop! I don’t wanna see him.” He grabbed my arms and started walking me backwards, “You have to.” I put my hands against his chest and pushed him. He flew a couple steps back and hit the ground. He slid across the floor for a couple seconds and then he stopped. My eyes widened in shock of what I just did. I didn’t mean to do that. Everybody looked up at us. Luckily it looked like I had just pushed him and that I put some force behind it. He stood up and dusted his suit off staring at me. I turned and ran outside.


I sat on the front steps and ran my hands through my hair, “Damn it! What’s wrong with me?!” After a moment Keith sat next to me. He grabbed my hand and I pulled my hand back, “Don’t touch me right now. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to use my powers on you. I didn’t realize that I was until it was too late. I’m so sorry.” He put his arm around me, “That’s okay. I forgive you. I feel so much better about it now that you told me that it was an accident.” I sighed, “This whole witch thing is going to get annoying.” He asked, “How did you deal with it before? Just deal with it like you’ve been dealing with it.” I looked at him, “I never lost control and hurt someone before. It’s never acted on it’s own because of how I was feeling.” He shook his head, “You didn’t hurt me. I’m fine.” I humped, “That’s not the point.”

Keith stood up and held his hand out for me to take, “Come on. We should go back inside. And you really need to see your dad one last time before they put him in the ground. I promise he’s not all bloody like he was before.” I sighed and grabbed his hand. He smiled and led me back inside.

People glanced at us but they didn’t stare. David came over to us before we got to the coffin, “Hey. What happened back there?” I answered, “Um, Keith was trying to get me to go see my dad. And I didn’t want to. I tried to push him back to get him to stop. I didn’t mean to use my powers. It was an accident. It reacted on my feelings.” He nodded, “Okay. Well, I thought that I’d let you know that people are worried about you and that they don’t think that they saw anything out of the ordinary. They think that you’re just a strong woman who got angry.” I nodded, “That’s good. Thank you.”

David went back over with Hilary and Keith put his arm around me and started leading me to the coffin. I swallowed and went with him. We stopped in front of the coffin and I just looked at the wall. He said to me, “Look at him Ariel.” I took a deep breath and looked down at him. His skin was so pale. It was paler than white. It seemed that way. The part where William had bit him was covered up with make-up. They put him in a suit. My dad hated suits.

Keith asked, “Do you remember what happened to him? Do you see where they covered the wound up?” I held the tears back and it showed in my voice, “Yes.” He grabbed my hands, “Who did this?” I answered, “William.” He said, “Then why do you think that it’s your fault?” I answered, “Because if I didn’t leave then he would’ve left him alone and he would still be alive.” Keith shook his head, “No he wouldn’t. William would’ve just killed him after he killed you. You wouldn’t be around any more to make sure that he kept to his promise and he wouldn’t care about breaking it. It wasn’t your fault. Do you hear me? Can’t you believe me?” I could, actually. I just needed to give myself a reason to why he died. I nodded, “Yes. But then that leaves me without a reason as to why he died.” He replied, “There’s no good reason to it. But William is just an evil and cruel monster.” I started to cry and Keith pulled me into his arms backing away from the coffin.


“Oh dear. Look at what I’ve done. They need a better make-up artist.” A familiar voice said. Both Keith and I turned around and looked at him. It was William. He was in a tux. I clung to Keith, “William. Why is he here?” Keith held me tight to him, “Get out of here Will.” He nicknamed him? At that moment David, Hilary, and Diana were there. “William. Why couldn’t just leave her alone today?” Hilary asked. William looked at her, “Hello mom. Just thought that I’d stop by and see how she’s doing.” Mom? He was their son? He was Keith’s brother? He lied to me?

“What?” William smiled at me, “Oh they didn’t tell you? I’m not surprised. They don’t like me that much. I’m not their favorite son.” I sighed, “I wonder why.” David stepped in front of us and said in a low and fierce voice, “Get out now. You’ve caused enough trouble here. Now leave.” William chuckled, “Okay. Okay. I’ll go.” He looked around him at me, “And I can’t say that I’m sorry for your loss. ‘Cause I’m actually happy about your loss. He tasted delicious. And you know what they say; the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I can’t wait until I taste you. It must be better.” Keith grinded his teeth and held back a growl.

I couldn’t help it. I let go of Keith and walked around them walking towards the door. Keith was too shocked or surprised to stop me. But they all followed me. I walked down the block until I got to an alley way. I turned there and walked down the alley. I stopped in the middle and turned around. They were there like I knew they would be. Keith, Hilary, Diana, and David came over and stood beside me. Keith asked, “Ariel. What are you doing?” I said staring at William, “Move to the side so you don’t get hurt.” He grabbed my hand, “Ariel. You’re not ready to fight him.” I took a deep breath, “Go. Or I’ll make you go to the side and stay there. But that’ll distract me. So you can either distract me and give him a better chance or move to the side.” He let go of my hand and turned to David, “Dad. We can’t let her do this. Not yet. She’s angry. It’s gonna get in her way.” David came over to me, “Ariel. Think about what you’re doing. You can’t beat him.” I replied, “Either I’m gonna kill him or he’s gonna fulfill his thirst. I don’t care. I want it to end today. Now move.” David sighed and they all moved to the side.

William smiled, “Well this should be interesting. Are you sure about this? You could lose.” I shrugged, “What else do I have to lose? Stop talking and come on.” William nodded, “If that’s your final wish.” He ran over to me and went to grab me. But I moved to the side and grabbed him by his shoulders pulling him down on the ground. He got up in a flash and grabbed me from behind. I tried to get loose but couldn’t. He held my arms to my stomach. “Ariel!” I heard Keith yell. I felt that fear again. But I couldn’t let him kill me. His teeth extended and I started to breathe heavily. William laughed, “You’re taking forever to try to get out of my grip. What’s the matter? Scared?” I levitated in the air and slammed into the wall really hard. Some of the bricks broke and fell. William let go of me and fell to the ground. But it wasn’t really a fall. He landed on his feet.

I lowered myself to the ground and prepared for him again. William ran into me slamming me against the wall. He pinned my hands against the wall above my head. I winced and held back a scream when I hit the wall. It hurt my back a lot. But it didn’t break it.


William’s teeth extended again and he bent his head to bite me. I squirmed and tried to get him off of me. But it didn’t work. He was about to bite me when Keith and the rest of them pulled him off of me and threw him back. I fell to the ground. William got up, “That’s not a fair fight but 
 I’ll be back when you are ready.” Then he ran off.

They all turned and looked at me. Keith came over and kneeled in front of me, “Are you okay?” I nodded and hugged him, “Yeah. My back hurts though. Thanks. I should’ve listened to you before when you told me that I wasn’t ready. I’m sorry.” He rubbed my back gently, “That’s okay. You were angry and upset. I probably would’ve done the same thing. Except I would’ve been ready.” He smiled at me trying to cheer me up a little. Keith turned to David, “Why don’t you guys stay here? I’ll take her home.” David nodded, “Yeah. I think she’s had enough for one day.” They turned and went back to the funeral. Keith picked me up and started walking towards home. I said, “You don’t have to carry me.” He nodded, “Yes. I do.” That’s when he started running really fast. So fast that nobody could see us. I wrapped my arms around his neck and layed my head against his shoulder, “Oh.”

When we got home he took me right upstairs. He set me on the bed, “I’ll be out in the hall. Call me when you’ve changed.” Then he left. I grabbed a pair of sweats and a blue t-shirt that I managed to hold on to and got changed. “You can come in now.”

Keith came in with his hands in his pockets, “Um, Ariel, I need you to take off your shirt.” “Why?” I snapped at him before he could explain. He replied, “So I can make sure your back’s okay. Don’t worry. I won’t try nothing.” I nodded and turned around. I took my shirt off and layed on my stomach on my bed. A moment later his hands were on my back. It hurt a little but it also felt good and comfortable. He said, “You have bruises on your back but nothing seems to be fractured or damaged in any way.” He backed up, “You can put your shirt back on.”

I sat up and put my shirt on. When I did he sat next to me and grabbed my hand, “Everything’s going to be okay, Ariel. I promise.” I looked into his eyes and saw that he meant it. I sighed and shook my head, “No. It’s not. Nothing’s ever going to be alright. I think I’ve learned that by now.” Keith touched my face, “I wish I could make you see that everything was going to be okay.” I leaned in and my nose touched his nose. I paused and waited. Keith asked in a whisper, “Ariel. Can I kiss you?” I smiled and continued. In a second my lips were against his. I cradled his face in my hands and grabbed his hair holding him to me. A few moments later Keith grabbed my wrists and pulled them away standing up when he did. He was frowning, “I’ll let you rest now. I’ll be in my room if you absolutely need me.” Then
