I just want to go home, I thought as I looked up at the boring white ceiling. The doctors had insisted that I stayed over that night, but I was fine. They told me I had nothing but a few really bad purple and blue bruises, sprains and a broken arm. Little did they know the longer I stayed there on that uncomfortable bed more people will be in danger because who knew what the evil ones were capable of. As I laid there contemplating what options I had that would let the doctors let me leave that eerie hospital, I saw a flash of white light.

She had to come here. Could anyone else see her or just me? If I was the only one who could see her and I started talking to her and someone saw me doing so I'd be admitted for being crazy.

"Can anyone else see you?" I asked her quietly

"No," she replied, monotone.

"Then why are you here because if people see me talking to someone they can't see, they'll think I'm crazy," I said after I looked around to check to see if we were alone. There was one other patient but they were sleeping. Well, I hoped.

"Then don't talk, just listen," she said.

"I believe you've already met the evil ones but they will be a lot worse at your next meeting. They were just making themselves known. It was just a small part of their bigger plan. What they are planning, I'm afraid you and Nick are not ready for. I'm not sure of the extent of their intentions but from what I've gathered from watching them it isn't anything good. You and Nick need to be careful, extremely careful and you need to practice at every chance you get because they could attack at any moment. You won't be ready when they do but at least if you know more about your powers and can use them, the better chance you have against them. I just need you to be careful and I'll try to help in any way I can. I'll keep my eyes on them." At the end of her last sentence, she disappeared. I hoped next time she decided to make an unexpected appearance she had something useful to tell me. A way to stop the evil ones before they killed us, would be very beneficial.

The ward door opened and in walked Nick and my mum. They walked over to me and when they reached the bed Nick kissed me gently on the forehead.

"How's my beautiful angel?"

"I'm not beautiful I'm covered in bruises," I replied.

"You always look beautiful to me," he said.

"You're not going to get arrested are you?" I wondered as I remembered that the police asked me questions about what happened, and they didn't seem to believe me when I told them what happened. But he wouldn't be here if he was arrested.

"No, they believe us," he replied.

"Okay good," I said.

"I should come home. We need to prepare for when the evil ones attack again," I added.

"You can't fight them like this, honey. You need to rest and get better," my mum said.

"But I need to find a way to stop them before they hurt anyone," I told her.

"We will start looking tonight while you rest. If we come up with anything, we will let you know tomorrow when you get home," Nick said.

"Okay," I agreed. I would still feel useless lying there when I could be doing something to help, but there was no way the doctors would let me go home.

They stayed there until visiting times were over and then they got up to leave.

"Rest okay and try not worry. We'll find away to stop them," my mum said.

"What if they get to us first?" I asked. My voice was shaky from worry.

"She has a point. They are stronger and more experienced than us after all," Nick agreed.

"Let's try not to think like that okay?" She said.

"Okay," I said. "Goodnight," I added.

"Bye Vicky," she said.

"Goodnight and I'll see you tomorrow," Nick said and they left the ward.

Mum was right I couldn't worry about them all night and we just needed to be prepared. And we would be because as soon as I got out of there I would start learning more about spells and more about my power as a destined one. Nick and my mum would work with the others to start looking for a spell or anything that would help us against them. I would join them tomorrow in doing so. Even if the spell didn't work or they got to us before we got to them at least we had tried our hardest. When I thought about trying our hardest to fight back against the enemy my thoughts trailed back to that play me and Emilee saw when I first got here. I remember saying back then that the people were cowards because they were too scared to fight back, but I couldn't say that as I had never been in a similar situation. Now, I was. Well, we weren't fighting a dragon but we were fighting against something highly dangerous that risked people's lives, and I was going to stick with what I had said that day. Yes, I was petrified of them and what they could do, but I didn't feel like dying without even trying to fight back. All my life I had been running from the things I feared, but when I got here I learnt more about who I was and did nothing but face my fears. I ventured into the woods early in the morning when it was still dark out. I talked with people and managed to make friends and even got a wonderful boyfriend.

I sighed and laid down on the pillows. If I do die at least I've managed to get more than I ever had back in the city. At least the past fortnight and six days had been the best and worst three weeks of my entire life. No, I can't think like that. I'm not going to die anytime soon. If I had to read every spell book I could find cover to cover, I would. If they thought it would be easy to mess with me they were wrong. I would do whatever it took to stop them.

I never asked to be a witch or even a destined one. All I ever wanted to be was normal and the first time I had found out I hadn't been ready to accept it, but now I knew I had no other choice. If I was going to go down, I was going to do so by accepting who I was and with fighting. Also, it's not over just yet; this will not be the end.
