Chapter 1- Nothing's Perfect"Good Job Candace, You're getting alot better!" My mom complimented me again, and I smiled.
"Go find your sister, now. When you get home, I'll have dinner ready" She said as she started walking off in the direction of our house
I smiled at my mom, and ran to where I thought my sister was, with that big tree again.
I saw my older sister sitting under the tree. So typical. She's always so lazy... Sitting on that tree all the time...
"Wake up you lazy bum!" I said to her face, and kicked her awake.
She jolted awake, and she stood up. I smiled at her
"So Maya, what have you been doing all day?" I asked her.
"sleeping" I thought silently
"Oh same old same old I suppose, practicing my magic and walking around. I think I caught Nick's attention at one point too!" she said all joyful.
"It's gonna be pretty obvious you like him... I don't understand why, he's got zits and doesn't know girls exist!" I stated bluntly as I innerly rolled my eyes. So obsessed.
She rolled her eyes at me
"I don't know either some times... it's just a crush thing anyways, you'll understand when you're older and actually have one!"
"Psht. As if I'd like any guy, they wouldn't find someone like me good enough." I stated, and kept walking with my sister down the path
We started walking down to the village. A lot of the other villages didn't like us at first, because they accused our mom of being a witch, but we moved to a new one, and this one fully accepted us. We were very grateful for everything that they have done for us. Maya and I waved and smiled as we walked past some of the villagers. They don't know about the early practices that Maya and I do in the mornings; our spells. I usually practice with Maya by the oldest tree in the village, but when I'm alone, I like to practice in the outskirts of the village; in the forest. Its alot easier to practice there
I snapped out of my thoughts as we reached our house.
"There you girls are! Come on supper is getting cold!" called our mother.
Maya and I picked up our speed, our short hair blowing as we run into our warm little house. We sit down at the table as mom puts down the bread and this mush.
I stare at it in disbelieve, it looks disgusting!
"What's this stuff?" I asked in shock
"It's a mixture of herbs and meat my dear, it's very good!"
"In a way that'll make me puke or a way that it'll stay in my stomach?" Maya asked, poking the mush with her spoon
I giggled at her comment, and mom slapped her shoulder. Our family was so silly.
"Just eat it you two." she commanded in a happy tone
We ate our supper in happiness; just as we did every night. I smiled as a put another spoonful into my mouth. It doesn't get better than this.
