The Warrior of the Eira kingdomA Story by Avery Valentinea girl is being followed and suddenly drives into a town that does not exist on earth's map. what is going on?I tighten my grasp on the wheel as I look at the rear view
mirror to see a black SUV still following behind me. I step on the accelerator harder as I gain more speed and I
look ahead of me. “Damn it.” I say under my breath as I look at the mirror
again. This time I see a man roll down his window as he takes out a gun ready
to shoot my car. “What the f**k?” I stare for a moment as I finally widen my
eyes in shock. “He better not f*****g try to shoot my car.” I whisper as I
speed up as much as I can. Suddenly I look over at the mirror again and the car
disappears. Shocked I quickly step on the brake and look back. ‘How is it possible for a car to suddenly disappear?’ I get out of my car and I walk over to the street where the
car disappeared and I carefully observe it as I take notice of some kind of
weird plastic material in the air. In a way separating the road. I carefully
touch it with my index finger and it moves like water. “What the?” I put my hand through it and then I see the
black SUV pull up on the road as if it were coming from the opposite direction
that it was going when it was following me and I pull my hand back in
immediately as I lose my breath. “Where the f**k did she go?” a man says as he gets out of
the car angry. A man looks at my direction and I begin to grow afraid at
the thought that he might be able to see me. “it seems that she is already inside
the towns protection shield.” “Are you f*****g with me! Our only way into that town is now
gone!” the other man screams as he slams his fists in the car. “Relax she might just drive through town. We can catch up to
her if we wait on the other side of town for her. After all the only way for
her to be safe is if she stays in the town and I’m sure she’ll eventually get
bored of it” “But what if she finds out about magic?” says the man who
slammed his fists on the car. “She won’t want to get out of there. Who knows
she might just explore the other dimension!” “won’t you just relax? I told you we would get back inside
there no matter what didn’t i?” the man who was looking at my direction says as
they get in the SUV and drive towards me but disappear. “what the hell?” is all I manage to say before I fall on my
behind and look at the road “what is going on?” As soon as I recover
from my little shock I feel a slight chill in the air and I look around me. Im
surrounded by trees everywhere. The road is surrounded by what seems like a
forest. I breathe out and I see my breath. I find this odd since we are in the
middle of summer and I begin to walk to the area that seems coldest. Its inside of the forest. I look back to my car and I sigh.
As much as I want to figure out what is over there I don’t want to leave my car
so I begin to walk towards it when I suddenly hear a little girls laughter. “What the hell is going on with this place?” I ask myself as
I run towards my car and begin to drive. “she looks beautiful” says miss Agatha as she looks down at
the daughter of my daughter and I cant help but feel angry at myself for ever
hurting this woman. “her name is going to be Erica” says my daughter Laura. “she
is going to be very spoiled by her father you know.” “oh hell she is” says her husband Jack as he enters the room
and signals laura to give her to him and she does. “after all she is the first
girl we have together.” My daughter smiles as she looks over at her husband lovingly
and I cant help but look over at Agatha who is looking at them with sadness in
her eyes. Agatha is a woman with blond hair and soft blue eyes who was
once considered the most evil woman in the kingdom of Afhar. She was a woman
who knew how to turn herself into a dragon with her magic. It was something
that no one in our entire realm had ever seen but the only problem was that she
was evil. My husband and I were not exactly friends with her. We never
thought that she had feelings like the rest of us, we had thought that her
black magic had already killed of that part of her. One day we were told that our children were going to be born
with the darkest of evil due to a curse planted on me and my body by my step
mother. I was completely crushed since I was already pregnant with
Laura at the time. In order to protect the good in our children, my husband and
I searched for a wizard who told us that we could transfer the evil from the
curse into someone else. After that we had decided on planting all of that evil on
the child of Agatha since we thought it was going to be evil to begin with but
what we didn’t know was that. Her child was to be sent out of the realm and to
another where magic did not exist and where we would all be safe from its evil. We ended up hurting this woman to the point where she gave
up on everything. We tried to help her look for her child but it wouldn’t show
up on the map. It has already been around twenty years or so since we last
tried to look for her child. “are you sure you don’t want to go and visit the other realm
Agatha?” I ask her as she slowly stands up. “im currently in my fifties with the looks of someone who is
thirty but I don’t belong there… not anymore at least.” She says as she walks
out of the building leaving us all in painful silence. Once I see the town come to view I take a deep breath. I had
tried to use my phones gps but it was telling me that I was in the middle of a
forest and that scared me. I didn’t think I would ever find people and I would
forever get lost. I keep driving until I see a small café and I park. I look
around me and im amazed. Although this
is a town it looks gigantic enough for it to be a city. I pull out the keys to my car and I get out making sure that
I have my wallet on my jacket before locking it. I enter the café and I sit down as I look at the woman in
the table look at me in shock. She looks over at everyone else and I cant help
but feel watched by everyone. I clear my throat and I look over at her and she looks at me
immediately. “what would you like to
order?” I sigh as I look at the list of things that they sell and I
scratch my head. “a coffee will be just fine thanks.” She leaves as she looks over at someone behind me and I cant
help but feel frustrated at all this staring. “here is your coffee” the lady says as she brings over the
cup and I pay her. “thanks” I say as I look over to see that she is still
standing in front of my table. “umm” “I just wanted to know if you needed anything else?” she
says looking at me. I look at the room and say “you know what I actually do.. do
you know any apartments I could rent around here?” “you are going to stay?” she asks in shock. “ugh yeah, I feel that im safer that way.” “oh I see” she says as she sits down “umm may I know why are
you in this town exactly? I haven’t seen you around before and” “I don’t know either.” I say taking a sip from the coffee.
“I was followed here by two guys that were trying to shoot me down.” “oh my that’s horrible why would someone?” “I don’t know. They said something about their only way
inside the town was gone and something about magic.” I sigh as I look at my
cell phone and I look over at the woman whos eyes are wide open now. “they said
they would wait for me on the other side of town so that when I left they could
catch me so that’s why I need to stay here for as long as I can.” “I think the mayor of the town can help you.” She says
smiling at me “ if you were able to cross the towns protective spell it means
you have magic inside you.” She touches my cheek “it means that you are finally
home.” I move away from her and I grab my phone and turn to get out
of there when she says “if you don’t believe me then why don’t you see it for
yourself?” I turn to look at her and she looks over at a small girl who
looks over at a guy who is around my age and he rolls his eyes. “alright just
this once.” He stands up and spreads his arms as snowflakes begin to
come out of his hands. I slowly walk backwards but the lady says “don’t run. You
must face what you are.” Suddenly the guy throws a bunch of ice towards me and I cant
help but close my eyes and I put my hands in front of my face for protection
but I feel no ice hitting me. All I hear are people gasping all around me. I open my eyes and I see fire on my hands and I begin to
freak out as I move my hands up and down trying to put out the fire. “the only one with that kind of fire was the dark apple
of Afhar… why do you have it” the woman
asks me as she steps away from me. I breathe in and out until im finally calm and I walk
towards the door when two women enter the café and I stop on my tracks. They are laughing together until they see me. “what is wrong
you look pale?” one of the women says as she looks over at the rest of the
people around. “mayor, this girl she…” the lady who served me the coffee
starts but is interrupted by the girl who was sitting down with the guy who
threw ice at me. “it seems that we may have found Lady Agathas daughter.” She
says as she wraps her arms around my arm. I pull away and she looks at me with a pout in her face.
“aww cmon I was just trying to be friendly here.” “what do you mean?” one of the ladies says as she looks over
at the girl impatiently. “where is she?” “right here” she says pointing at me and I cant help but
feel observed. “lady Sarah, the daughter of Agatha should be the same age
of my Laura which is around thirty. This girl looks like she is eighteen.” The
lady says as she sighs. She passes her hands through her long black hair and
she begins to cry. “please don’t play jokes like these anymore.” The other woman
hugs the lady as she looks over at Sarah with a troubled expression. Her short black hair makes her look young but she seems to
be around the late forties. “I’ll speak to you later.” She says to Sarah. “no seriously! This is her. I don’t know why shes so young
but its her I know it.” She looks over at me and shakes me up “hey do it again!
Come on!” “stop I cant!” “why not?” she asks shouting at me and then I hear her
scream as she pulls away from me. “see you can do it!” she yells with a smile
on her face. I look over at my hands and they are on fire. I cant help
but feel calm as I look at the fire in my hands staying still and listening to
my every command. If I want them to grow they grow, if I want them to turn into
a ball they turn into a ball. I look over at the two women who are now looking at me with
shock in the expressions. ‘what have I’ve gotten myself into?’ © 2015 Avery ValentineAuthor's Note
