3 Years From Now.
Karen.
It was night and I was driving back home. I remembered seeing Kaden and I felt a sharp pain in my heart. It hurt to see that Kaden didn't remember me or know who he was.
I swiftly moved to the left side of the road to avoid being hit by a coming vehicle.
He was living a normal human life and he had the perfect life. He looked so happy and he's even in a relationship with someone. I used my Vampire hearing to listen to everything he said with that lady, Natalie and I almost cried where I sat.
I pulled the gear as I slowed the car and drove into the road on the left. This road was less busy as I was getting farther from residential areas.
The smile on his face made me feel happy and sad at the same time. How could I possibly face him and tell him who he is, who I am to him, or that he has a son. Even if I did, how would he believe me. He would most likely avoid me and call the cops on me.
The car suddenly made a funny sound and it stopped walking by the road. I sighed in frustration and hit my fist on the steering. Not now!!
I sighed again and climbed down from the car. I walked to the front and opened up the bonnet. I wanted to check what it was when suddenly, I something heading my way in the dark from the corners of my eyes.
It was a black blast and before I could react, it hit me in the chest and flung me off the road. I groaned as I fell on the floor and I looked up to see people approaching.
I grunted as I stood up on my feet and I saw a red blast heading my way this time. Quickly, I shifted to the left and the blast passed by me, firing off into the distance.
I looked at those approaching and my eyes widen in surprise. It can't be.
I immediately began to run, dodging the blasts being fired at me.
I groaned as something suddenly hit me in the back and I stopped running.
I reached for my back and I grunted as I pulled out what was buried in my back. It was an arrow with a very familiar arrowhead.
I threw the arrow on the floor and continued to run. I stretched out my hands as I ran and golden waves began to rotate in the air, running ahead of me.
More arrows and blasts began to head my way and I did my best to dodge the ones that went past my protection shield. The portal finally formed fully and I jumped in.

Presently.
Garr.
I stepped out of the portal, but immediately, I was blasted away with a massive force. I crashed at the corner of the room and I groaned. I was about to stand up when I saw the Witch get up and walk forward. She was looking at something and I traced her gaze to see a man lying on the floor completely naked.
"My head hurts." The man stood up on his feet and I looked away. He was stark naked and my head already hurts enough.
"Why am I naked?" He asked and the Witch suddenly ran towards him in laugher and she pulled him into a tight hug.
I grunted to my feet as I stood up my feet and they were still oblivious to the fact that I was here.
They broke the hug shortly and the Witch grabbed his shoulder excitedly.
"Selena, what happened?" Jackson asked.
"Yes, what the hell happened here?" I asked the two of them finally faced me.
"You! What are you doing here?" Selena asked, surprised to see me.
"Do you know him?" Jackson asked and glared at me.
"I don't," Selena replied and I shook my head.
"Says the witch who hexed me and tried to kill my niece," I said and Selena gritted her teeth. I could see that she was afraid to let this man know what she did.
"I'm sure she had her reasons," the man replied and Selena looked super surprised.
"What??"
"It's not okay that I hexed someone or tried to kill someone. It is never okay, especially not with you Jackson!" Selena yelled at him.
Now she's so righteous. I'm even more curios about who this man is.
"I've not seen this one before. A fellow evil Mage?" I asked, chuckling.
"You're the one supposed to be answering the questions here!" Jackson retorted.
"I de- Whatever, put on some clothes," I said and squeezed my face in disgust.
"What do you w-"
"Jackson!" Selena interrupted him and she snapped her fingers, a grey shirt and blank pant appearing on Jackson.
"You get out. I don't care about you or your niece anymore!" Selena faced me with a glare, pointing at the door.
"Okay, but I came here to warn you about something," I quickly said before she could cast whatever spell she wanted to ask her hands were already glowing.
"Warn me? What is it?" She asked with a raised eyebrows and she looked super impatient.
"Remember the hex you cast on me?"
"Yes, get to the point."
"Wel-"
"Selena, who is he and why are we listening to him," Jackson interrupted me and he pointed his hands at me and they began to glow in a bright red color. I raised up my hand too so I could counter spell he wanted to cast.
"Jackson wait," she stopped him from forcing me out a
"Well, after a diagnosis of the hex, I saw that you're being used as an anchor to this plane by the ancestors dark magic," I said and Selena looked shock.
"What?"
"I knew they were helping me maintain control of my chaos magic, but I didn't know they were using me as an anchor to his plane," Selena said in surprise.
"Which means they are pl-"
"Leave us already," Jackson interrupted again and pointed his glowing red hands at me.
"Jackson stop," Selena held on to his hand and stopped him again.
"Wait. Red?" Selena asked in surprise, looking at Jackson's hand. I looked at his hands too, not understanding what she was saying.
"Your magic signature was never red before you died."
