Alicia was quite for a moment. After finding out about Angus, she was even ready to believe that Martians existed but this was a little too much. She was a witch?? Well it did make sense, but then she felt Angus squeeze her hand telling her that it was true. "Okay, but I need to know the whole story."
Her aunt related to her the story about how the powers were transferred to the eldest child from their parents or parent. Her mother was a witch and so was she. Then came the truth of her mother's death. She had been killed. "A man named Prithivi Pradhan liked your mother and wanted to marry her but she married your father. He was so enraged that he tricked her into giving up her powers up and killed her."
Alicia was dumbstruck. This was the last thing she wanted to know. Angus put an arm around her to assure her. She looked at him and wondered at how similar their stories were. No wonder her dad never told her anything. She found herself crying again. How could this be? She was shattered for the second time in her life.
Her aunt continued, "That man will try to kill you too, Alicia, if he knows about you. You need to increase your strength. You need to practice using your powers. Had your mother been here, she would have taught you everything. But, now I'm going to train you. I don't know how long it will take, but I'm going to make you strong enough."
"And what about Amy? Does she have powers too?"
"No, Alicia. Amy isn't your real sister. She was adopted to keep your birth a secret and also to hide you. In this way Prithivi Pradhan thought Amy was Aakanshya's real daughter and since she has no powers, he passed her off as she didn't pose a threat to him in anyway."
All Alicia could do was nod. Then her aunt left them alone.
"You need to be strong, love. You can't break. Not after learning your mother was killed." He said hugging her.
She was crying hysterically. "Tell me Angus, what did you do when you saw all that happen? Didn't you feel like crying?" She asked him between sobs.
"I did Ali, but you need to be stronger. The murderer is walking freely. You should take revenge. I know what it feels like. I couldn't do it, but you should. I'll be with you no matter what decision you make."
They sat there for some time. He was whispering all the soothing words he could find at that moment. After she was done crying, he could see determination in her eyes. "I will do it. Definitely do it, Angus. And after I kill that man, we shall take care of that cousin of yours together."
Later at dinner, she was introduced to other members of the family. The bride was 25 years old and was very pretty. She tried to smile and act cheerful but couldn't. Even the wedding went as a blur. The whole week she tried to enjoy, but in vain. Angus was forever by her side, reassuring her and trying his best to make her feel good. She wondered what she'd have done if her weren't there with her. He was the one to tell her to call her dad. She told her dad not to worry about her and that she wanted to stay behind for a few months but she didn't mention anything about her powers.
Right after the wedding, her training started. Her aunt took them to a secluded house on the outskirts of the city which was near a jungle. This would keep them away from prying eyes as well as danger. The first phase of her training was learning to defend herself. She learned how to move things without touching them, merely with the power of her mind. She could read minds and contact people with similar powers.
"You are special, Alicia." Her aunt told her. "Usually witches and warlocks have the power of one natural element. As you know, there are four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Sea. You have the power of two elements, Air and Fire. That is how you were able to create that shield. Witches like you are rarely conceived and it is astonishing that you have the power of two because your father is a human."
She also learned that using both the powers at the same time was near impossible and could be lethal to both the user and the recipient. She put all her effort in her training. She spent days learning the Sanskrit spells and verses and the symbols accompanying them. The combination of the right spell and the right symbol enabled her to use fire and air in ways one could only imagine. Angus would sit back and watch as she grew more fierce day by day. She was more sure of herself and her powers. She first trained on her strength with air. It made her capable of using air to her will. Her eyes went completely white and white tattoo-like symbols appeared on her skin. Her aunt explained that the symbols were symbols of prayers to the wind god in Hindu religion.
It was her practice with fire that was dangerous. Angus had seen her scream in agony as her fire burned her body during the first few days of her practice, but he was glad and amazed at the same time to how she gained control and how powerful her fire was. It could kill a strong vampire in matter of seconds. The changes in her body were similar to the ones with air, her eyes burned into a fiery golden and the tattoo-like markings were fiery yellow too. They were the symbols of prayers to the fire god.
A lot of meditation was required to give her a stable mind. She practiced blocking people from her thoughts with Angus. She also learned how to fake memories and show people what she wanted them to see. Thus one wouldn't be able to know who she actually was until they grew suspicious and tried to probe further into her head. That would be difficult because to find out her truth would require a very strong mind.
In the two months time, Alicia had become very powerful. They'd left the hotel and were living with her aunt. During the day time, she trained but at night she was all his. She often used her magical powers during their lovemaking and that made it more exiting. Sometimes, they would find themselves floating in mid air and on other occasions, they would connect their mind and feel each other's pleasure along with their own. Sometimes, she would pin him with her powers and have her way with him. Something similar was on her mind today.
All the time through dinner, she kept Angus out of her thoughts. He couldn't know what she was planning for them. As soon as they entered their room after dinner, she pinned him to the wall using her power.
"Hey bien-aimé, this is not fair. I never used my powers on you, remember?" he complained.
Alicia simply gave him a mischievous grin as she started unbuttoning his shirt. Once his shirt was removed, she placed hot, wet kisses on his lips, licking along his chin and trailing downwards. She assaulted his neck with kisses and when she reached his firm, broad chest, she took one of his flat nipples into her mouth and rolled her tongue over it as she caressed the sides of his body, scratching him with her nails from time to time. All Angus could do was stand there pinned to the wall and moan. She assaulted his other nipple similarly all the while moving her body against his bulging hard on.
