Brittany

　　As soon I saw my house I felt a sudden relief, I have been walking for almost an hour and though I felt completely exhausted but I didn't stop walking I needed to get home because it's already late and it's a surprise that my mother isn't shouting my name all over the forest like she always do when I haven't come back by this time though I understand the reason why she was worried it was dangerous walking around this place at night but I was powerful and could literally protect myself but you know how mother's could be

　　I walked on the front porch before opening the door and stepped in, my mother was just sitting on the couch watching TV and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion as to why she was sitting down like that looking very calm and nothing like worried expression on her face

　　"You ok mum?" I asked and her head snapped away from the TV to look at me

　　"I'm good, are you hurt or did I have to shit out of that crack head?" The look on her face made me to burst into laughter but then I realized she knew I was in a fight

　　"How do you even know I was in a fight with someone?"

　　"Oh honey the forest is a small place and you both were literally at each other's neck!"

　　"You don't live the house mum so how did you really know"

　　"A little bird total me"

　　"And that little bird is totally over reacting" my mum began to laugh but then she pick up the TV remote and turn it off before giving me a serious look which only meant one thing she wanted to have a real talk and I couldn't back down

　　"Sit honey"

　　"What do you want to talk about?"

　　"Do you even realize who you just fought over a leaf?"

　　"His name is Jake and he had a very crazy looking eyes that I could barely keep contact with"

　　"That's the wizard king Brittany" my eyes widen but then I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion

　　"How could that even be possible? I mean he doesn't have powers though he had strength and was strong but being the whole wizard king that's literally impossible"

　　"He doesn't belong in here that's why you have the upper hand here honey, anyone who doesn't belong here his powers doesn't work regarding of who he is"

　　"So you're saying within here I have the upper hand before he can't use his powers?"

　　"Yes, Jake is very dangerous to everyone and he is after that leaf for the blood spilled on it"

　　"But it's Damon's, what does this have to do with him?"

　　I knew Damon for a long time though we don't truly get along but we aren't enemies either I had that leaf for a good reason and Jake suddenly appeared out of nowhere for it but I do suspect it was that crazy wizard I met outside the forest a long time ago for only him and my mother about what the leaf contains not even Damon himself knew about it

　　"Jake hates Damon"

　　"But why didn't Jake want this leaf so much"

　　"I have no idea but you need to be safe because he was surely gonna come back here to find it, Jake does rest until he finds what he wants"

　　"I'll be fine mum, don't worry about a thing"

　　"Take care of yourself"

　　"I will, what's cooking?"

　　"Nothing, you're cooking yourself"

　　"Oh come on mum, I'm exhausted"

　　"Ok fine get yourself freshened up and I'll do something immediately"

　　"I love you mum" I hugged her and she only laughed

　　I backed away and walked upstairs to my room for a nice warm bath. As soon as I got into my room I closed the door immediately and walked towards my bookshelf. The fact that my mother said Jake is the wizard king I literally still find out is hard to believe. I picked out the bokn based on wizard's and searched for the wizard king. Though I knew that there had been a lot of wizard kings before Jake but they all shared something in common and that was their eyes no one dared to look into their eyes but I looked into his even if I couldn't keep the stare fr than long because I felt a sudden fear in me when I met with them

　　I continue to open page by page in search for it the main reason why I only opened this book when I needed something so bad was because it had no content and was numberless making it extremely hard for anyone to find a particular page and now I was going to spend fifteen min searching for a damn page

　　Oh curse Jake for making me go through so much over a leaf but why does he even need the leaf in the first place and why didn't him and Damon get along thought I knew that they were both powerful in their own way but Jake being the wizard king still disturbed me and I could literally be putting myself in danger but I'm still not giving him that leaf without a fight

　　I finally found the page I was searching for and read through the description of their eyes section and just like a suspected he was in love which made his heart soft a bit and his eyes power reduce a little which only meant he was here for he was in love with someone but what does this have to still do with Damon that was literally what I was really focused on I needed to find the root to Jake sudden appearance in the dark forest over a leaf with Damon's blood on it and his love story seems like a very great thing to look through I continue to read to find more about him before his next attack

　　Jane

　　I watched as my baby girl walked upstairs to her room and I let out a sigh, though I was proud of my daughter for what she was doing and I admired how strong she has grown her father would have been so proud if he could literally see his baby girl now but he was gone for good and I never want to lose her in the same situation that I lost him

　　Long ago when Brittany was just two years old her father had gone wondering in the wood in search for heaven knows what and that's how he got killed, no one had an idea of how or who killed him but I knew it was Jake's father who had done it, turns out they had a long history being together but it wasn't a nice one at all they will always fight and I found out about it when I begged a banished wizard to show me what had happened to him

　　Brittany and her father were inseparable and his death really took a wrong turn over both of us, though she was just a child but she had the insane determination just like her father at some point I began to get worried about how she would train everyday and the day doesn't she had her head stuffed in a book about history on something

　　Earlier I had seen her going out but she accidentally dropped something she took with her everywhere, I made it a reason for me to step out if the house after such a long time and that's when I saw her in a serious fight with him but then the moment I saw her eyes met his for few minutes I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion for that had never happened though I wanted to get in-between them but I didn't dare because Jake might just use the opportunity to get her killed the moment she was distracted

　　I slowly backed away and walked back to the house, I knew at that point with the way Brittany was fighting him off he couldn't kill her even if he tried as soon as I got to the house I saw her father's picture which made her heart sink I missed him so much and I am not ready to see my daughter's coups on my porch but I knew too well that she wouldn't listen me no matter how much I warn her

　　Though Brittany could barely remember who her dad was unless for his pictures that hang around but she still asked if he was ok wherever he was even though she knew he was never coming back, it hurts to see her grow without her father but she was exactly like him even the way she eats, talks, play around, train everything was exactly like him and it felt as though I never lost him in the first place

　　I tried to listen to whatever was happening upstairs but heard nothing but even shower was sheared which was totally weird or was she up to something? I asked myself not really sure of what was happening, I left the food on the fire and walked upstairs but still heard nothing not even her walking around in the room like she always do she was a thinker and pacing around all the time

　　"Honey, are you ok? It's way to silent up here" I knocked but didn't hear a word or anything from inside which was quite strange

　　I opened the door and saw her standing in a corner with a book in her hand and she was so invested that she didn't even noticed I opened the door making me to giggle and that's when she raised her head up to look at who was standing

　　"You are so much like him, what the hell are you searching for now?" She gave out a little laugh

　　"I want to know more about my fighting buddy"

　　"Jake? So now he's your buddy?"

　　"Oh come on mum don't be jealous I hate that dude and I think something is burning"

　　"Oh good lord!" I immediately ran out of the room and down the stairs before heading to the kitchen

　　I immediately but the fire out and dropped the food carefully making sure I don't get myself burnt or I'll begin to hear one thousand sermons from Brittany on how I should be careful next time while she's applying ointment to it, lucky enough the food didn't get burnt but it was about to I'm glad she had a nite sensitive nose than I ever will come to think if it am I sure of what I think I saw her reading

　　I covered the food and went back upstairs but she was still on the book and this time sitting on her bed though she was holding a book about wizard's but she was reading something else like but she looked at me weirdly as I walked closely towards her

　　"What are you reading?"

　　"The book of wizard's"

　　"Not that the paper in your hand"

　　"Oh! That was only one of the pages of another book that got torn and I put it in here because it seemed safe for it. Why are you asking?"

　　"Just curious" but she knew me too well and knew that was not what I had in mind

　　"Mum I haven't found my mate yet and if I did you'll be the first person to know!" She began to laugh and I just let out a sigh

　　"You do realize you're of age now right?"

　　"Mum whether I am off age or not you'll always be with me and if my mate doesn't agree with that then screw him"

　　"Don't do that"

　　" Oh no mum I will, I can't leave you here all alone i promised dad I'll always protect you and I will always do that, u love you so much and no crazy mate is gonna change that"

　　"I love you honey, now get in the shower you smell like a dead rat!"

　　"Mum!" She groaned making me laugh

　　?

　　Brittany

　　As soon as mum walked out for the room I stood up and walked towards the door, I watched closely as she walked downstairs and as soon as she got down I locked the door and walked back to my bed, I had no choice but to lie to her about the paper it wasn't really a paper from other book but a letter from Dad, I know my dad had died years ago but never in my life will I think of him putting a letter in between the cover of a book

　　Though I have read this same book so many times at different chapter but I never really placed my hand at the cover and felt it and I seriously didn't know what made me do it, I took a deep breathe before opening the letter to read I missed him so much but I knew my mother tok well and she won't stop read this ur crying about it till heaven knows when

　　“Hey baby champ!

　　If you're reading this I've gone and you're all grown up, I'm sorry for leaving you at such a young age I tried my best to fight him off but that doesn't mean you won't grow up to be the champion you are. Though I treated you like a boy while growing up and your mother will always yell 'Henry be careful it's a she not a he for the thousand times' and I'll yell back 'she's still my little champ girl or boy'

　　I shouldn't be reminding you of the past but I'm sorry I couldn't be there to see you room off to school, I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me and mama was being annoying, I'm sorry that you have to grow up with no father figure in the house, I'm sorry for everything I have missed out in years

　　I know you will see this later because you are a ready and wouldn't go to bed unless I read a book your mama will say 'ok both of you enough with the reading go to rooms' for we could stay up all night on different books

　　I know you wish I was there to train you myself to be a fighter but I'm not and you know what it's an opportunity because I won't kick your ass but I know you'll be a champion when you grow and you'll make me and mama proud all the time. I might not be there but I miss you too little champ and I always love you and mama so much don't ever forget that

　　Be good and stay safe keep your mama safe to while I rest on watching you live a happy now no crying don't cry don't be as emotional as your father it's not a good idea

　　You will grow up to be a strong woman just like I use to imagine it and anyone who dares to think that you're weak show them that you are the child of your father and you never back down from a fight so long as it's not a fight based on useless things

　　I love you so much champ”

　　I folded the paper back and kept it where I found it before dropping the book back on the shelf, I picked a pillow and screamed into it my heart felt as though it was gonna rip into pieces he was right I needed him more than she needed anyone except my mum and their were night were i would sit on the bed looking at a book wishing he was here to read it to me and have fun before her mum will chase them to get some sleep

　　I felt heartbroken and upset that I never knew the person behind my father's death for i knew I wasn't gonna spare him even if he or she could be older than me I always believed I was my father's daughter and did everything to never let my parent down but my mother refused to tell her the story if his death but I do remember seeing his corpse

　　It's been years upon years but it felt as though it was yesterday for the image was still clear in my mind, there were nights when i had nightmares and will curl myself up in a ball not wanting her mother to get bother about it at all for I felt she had gone through enough let her enjoy the time she had left to live

　　I knew that at some point she would be gone but then what will I do? I longed for a father's figure and heaven knows if I lose her I'll go crazy. I really do hope that she lives as long as I can. I stood up from the floor that was sitting on and walked into the bathroom, I took my clothes off before stepping into the bathroom for a nice warm bathe, the moment I was done I stepped out while wiping the tears on my face and I walked towards the closet

　　There was no way in hell I was gonna let mum see me like this or else it just me answering a bunch of questions I clearly didn't want to answer, I picked out a short dress I usually use to sleep and put it over my head before dropping the towel on it's handle, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that my eyes was still a bit red but what could possibly distract me right now then something popped into my mind I just finished bathing I'll just claim I used hot water since my eyes usually do whenever I bathe with hot water

　　I walked out of my room and followed the sweet aroma coming from the kitchen oh how much I loved my mother's cook it was just so amazing, I hugged her from behind as she served the food making her to giggle

　　"I miss you"

　　"I'm not going anywhere now will you sit down and eat your food so you could get some sleep you look tired"

　　"I'm exhausted mum that fight really drained my power"

　　"My poor baby come on eat up then get some rest"

　　"Ok mum"
