She sits beside me and lifts the glass to my lips. I take as many sips as I can. The doctor arrives with the witch. Nina stands up and moves away so the witch can assess me.
‘Are you able to tell us what is wrong with my son?’ Mum asks. The witch doesn’t approach me. Instead, the witch looks over at Nina..
‘He is reacting to a curse.’ She says.
What curse?’ Mother says.
The witch points a finger at Nina..
‘Her curse.”
‘My curse?’ Nina says.
‘Yes, your curse.’ She replies.
‘Are you implying Nina has been playing with some kind of magic and cursed my son?’ mother asks.
‘No, but she has a curse shadowing her, and it’s affecting Magnus.’
‘I’m sorry, but you must be mistaken? I’m not cursed.’ Nina says.
The witch looks Nina up and down.
‘Oh, you’re cursed, sweetheart. I can see it lingering all around you.’
‘What kind of curse? How do I get rid of it?’
‘What kind of curse, for I do not know and how to break it. Only the one who cursed you knows how. Until then, you are stuck with it.’
‘How do I find out who cursed me, then?’
‘Only time will tell.’ She looks back over at Magnus and approaches.
She hovers a hand over him and says an incantation. ‘The fever will break soon. In the meantime, until the curse breaks, I suggest you tell him to avoid shifting.’
‘Why is that?’ mother asks.
It’s going to hurt every time he shifts.’ The witch takes her leave without saying another word.’
We need to have a pack meeting immediately.’ Mum says to Nina.
Everyone leaves the room; my fever breaks. I’m able to walk to the bathroom and have a cool shower and feel so much better afterwards. I find my favourite black tight-fitting T-shirt and my dark-colored jeans and put them on. As soon as I’m dressed, I walk down the stairs to find a meeting is being held.
“Magnus, you are looking better.’ Seth smiles.
“Yeah, I feel heaps better.’
“You better come join us, son.’ Dad says.
Seth and Mia sit at the end of the table while Nina sits with Leon and Amelia on the left side of the table. I take my seat next to my father.
“As we all know, someone has placed some kind of curse on Nina, not only that, but it’s also affecting Magnus.’ Dad says.
I don’t understand who would want to curse my daughter.’ Amelia cries. Leon rubs her back.
“We will son this out, Honey, we will find out who cursed her and have them break the spell.’
“Nina, can you think of anyone who would want to curse you?’
She shrugs her shoulders and looks down with a sombre look.
“Everyone loves Nina, Mum I don’t understand who would curse her.’ I say.
Other than it affecting Magnus, this curse hasn’t seemed to have affected Nina. She looks and sounds like Nina, she is gifted with great speed and has good grades So how is the cursed? Leon says
We are all at a loss and are silent in thought for a few minutes, trying to make sense of it all
There isn’t much we can do other than monitor Nina and Magnus and figure out what the curse does and who is behind it. I also think we shouldn’t tell anyone else about it for Nina’s safety. Mother says
‘Why wouldn’t Nina be safe, Mum?
Magnus, you are the future Alpha of the pack. Some pack members will go to great lengths to protect you, many would even kill to keep you safe”
Nina and I give each other a concerned look and nod our heads in agreement. We part ways, I decide to go outside and sit on the staircase Unexpectantly Nina joins me and sat beside me.
Magnus, I just wanted to say how sony I am that I caused you to be unwell and that you won’t be able to shift easily. I don’t want to hurt you.
N’s not your fault, Nina.’
She cries. I place an arm over her shoulder and pull her closer as she cries into my chest. ‘But it is my fault. Someone cursed me and it’s hurting you.’ She cries.
h will be okay, Nina.. We will figure this out.’
Magnus?
Yeah?’
‘Do you wish sometimes we could go back in time and change the way things were?’
‘Every day. I wish I wasn’t stupid and didn’t ignore you for seven years.’
“Do you mean that, Magnus?’
‘Every word.
‘We can’t go back in time and change the past, but we can change the future right now.”
“How so?”
‘Let’s forget the seven years never happened. Let’s be best friends again.’
“Really? You mean that?’ My stomach flutters and my heart is racing with happiness.
‘Every word.’ She smiles.
The next day we go to school together.
