    Loyality and sacrifice test

    On a starry night, Isha woke up half dreaming and walked near the window. Something must have awaken her from her intense sleep. Her hands were cold and toes freezing as she stepped out of her comfortable blanket and walked towards the bright gleam of light just outside her home. Its was a fantastic event to observe but no one else was awaken from the hustle and bustle suddenly created in the lonely lane of Roosewington town somewhere located in America.

    As she peeped outside her window she saw a plathora of bright light in raindow colors, dancing at the tune of some kind of magical melodious tune. And one ray of violet light rose towards her and shape-shift into a dancind ballet girl. From behind it another ray in amber came glittering towards the window it shaped itself into a poodle and started dancing along with the violet light. It was a high quality magic only the best of best magicians could do, and that’s the reason why Isha knew who exactly had arrived for a summer vacation visit. She swiftly opened her window frame to let her sister in. And along with a brilliant display of light magic her sister bella glided in her room. Out of the cocoon made of pure light bella jumped out to hug her dister. “It was cold outside, thankfully you let me in before freezing to death”, she gratefully spoke, ” that’s why you are the best sister in the whole human world “. Isha nodded in agreement and took her littel sister into her arms… It was a sisterly long hug which ended after not less than seven hundred seconds. It was too late but excited about her sister’s arrival Isha rushed to wake her mom and dad and tell them the news. As she stepped on the very first stair her toes slipped, an accident was bound to take place but she froze in the mid air and was saved by Bella’s magical wand once again. It reminded her of the very first time they found out that Bella was a witch.. When she saved Isha during a fatal car crash from atleast 500 meter distance. Soon after that Their family was visited by magic creatures to convince her parents to send her to magical school and Bella was sent with them for a safe and protected future. Ofcourse she was happy to join her kind but sad about leaving Isha alone at home. So she often breaks away from school to visit her for hour or two once a week. This time she has come to spend the whole summer vacations so she requested Isha not to wake anyone else. Isha accepted on one condition, that bella has to tell everything to her about her school for the rest of the night. So they talked and talked till they both fell asleep in an hour or so.

    Next morning their mother coming in their room found them sleeping togather and covered them in a cozy blanket. She brought them warm milk and cookies and woke them up. All the four of them were happily togather and their days passed like that of any other happy family. A week later Bella came home from a neighborhood park in a puzzled manner and tried hiding herself from something. Her father couldn’t help but noticed her anxiety and asked her, ” Is there something bothering you Bella”, but she denied and passed a scared smile. Bella’s mother noticed scrates on her arm while she sat for dinner still half nervous. Realizing that bella hid the marks with magic. But when later Isha and Bella went to bed togather Isha to asked her about her peculiar behavior and this time Bella broke into tears saying, ” I did not came here on vacations but I came here because the magicians want us to kill our family members for the reason that they know about us. And today is my final day to accomplish my task if I have to pass my ‘loyalty and sacrifice exam’ .” she also told her in case she fails the exam she will be taken to be executed.

    Tears ran out of Isha’s deep blue eyes. She asked her sister to relax till the time she could come up with a plan to save both her sister and her parents. Next morning as the wizards come to escort Bella back to her execution. Both the girls came out to meet them. Neither them or the wizards told anything about the test to her mother and father. Bella never looked sad while leaving. She hugged everyone back home and waved a goodbye. On the other hand Isha was way more sad than usual this perticular time while waving back to her dear sister.

    After Bella left Isha soon retired to her bed and putting her face under her pillow cried for the rest of the time. But her tears had magic in them, where ever they fell Lillies bloomed on the spot. When her mother entered the room, she shrieked in fright to find bella crying in place of Isha. It turned out that Bella had shapeshifted into Isha and Isha had taken her place while being taken to execution. Bella told the complete truth to her parents filled with grief and guilt of accepting Isha’s plan to save her life. The joyful atmosphere of their home suddenly turned into dull and gloomy.

    Moments later their door was knocked. Struck with grief her father opened the door. He was awestruck to find Isha standing at the door withmany more wizards than normally would come to escort the witches and wizards. They were filled with praise and appreciation for Isha’s sense of love and sacrifice for her parents and sister. Making Bella the only girl to pass the test in the entire magic school that year. The head of the school also accompanied Isha home proudly said, ” while all the other students used their magic to save themselves and tried to hurt their family your daughters wittily showed loyality and sacrificed for their family”. He rewrote a few old codes and then with a swift motion of his wand he baptized Isha with the highest order of super magic powers.

    Both the sisters cherished their reunion once again and with both having obtained magical powers and admitted to the same trouble were nothing less than a double trouble. While the wizards were leaving out of curiosity Bella hasitantly inquired, “so what happened to the parents of other children, are they all dead?”

    At this all the wizards burst in laughter, then master wizard replied, ” since you are wizards your parents are protected by law with our special authority and hence they are wizard ensured. No super power can hurt them. So it was just a test and never meant to hurt anyone in the first place.”

    This knowledge relieved everyone present there. And as the fairytales end this story, of two beautiful sisters called Bella and Isha, too ended happily ever after.

  • Cherophobia

    Cherophobia

    Cherophobia is a story about two sisters who haven't been together for so long because of a certain reason and when they do meet, it turns out to be the worst nightmare. 

    Cherophobia is the fear of happiness and you might think that what kind of person would fear being happy? Everyone might say that it's not real and that it is nothing. The thing that most people do not understand is that cherophobia is aeonian.

    Standing there on the concrete, looking at the grass moving feebly with the wind, she looked over to the swings she wanted to sit on, the green grass she wanted to lay down upon, the smiles that she saw on other people's faces, the ones that she wanted to feel but which made her anxious,  the joy that flourished the entire park, well not just the park, everywhere she saw and the feeling of bliss when someone so dear touches you, all of that which makes you happy was what she was afraid of. She looked at all of it and shut her eyes tight, trying to push those thoughts of fear away. She used to come to this park with her sister, but that wasn't something that made her happy, not anymore.  She feared these memories and thus remembered each one of them as clear as a crystal because the voices in her mind never let her forget them. After eight years, this would've been the first time that she could spend time with her sister. But now it would never happen. She was the reason for her death. She was to blame. All the people, every one of them was shut out by her which had left her with no one to talk to. Anyone who tried to lift her up from her ruins, were either slammed or left unnoticed and unanswered. Time went by and the people fewer and fewer with each passing year when there came a time when there were none. She didn't mind that because it only meant lesser expectations and no compulsion to talk. Happiness was just a nine letter word she was scared to death of. But what had happened? Was what happened to her that bad, that she feared being happy?

    HER STORY:

    Mirage remembered vividly what had happened that night.


    Her sister Katherine, the one who had been her lifeline after their parents had passed away, had come home to meet her in the holidays and they had so much to catch up on. Every time she came home, it would all go back in time and they would become kids all over again.

    It had been a very long time since they met and visited the park and had decided that they would.

    They were so happy. Their happiness beyond measure. But the wind had something else to say. It became colder by the minute and mist had started to form. Mirage went out to the door to shut it and walked over to light a fire but realised they had run out of wood. She called out to Katherine saying that she'll be right back and started out the gate, paving her way into the woods.

    Mirage could sense something following her and wanted to run back to the house and lock herself in. It had come back. It had found Katherine.

    Trembling with fear, Mirage looked at the silhouette formed in front of her, under the tree then looked away. She picked up the lightest logs she could find and headed back when something gushed across her face. She couldn't see what it was. It was an apparition. She felt a rush of adrenaline and then realised that Katherine was alone at home.

    She ran as fast as a panther and looked up to the moon which had turned blood red. She looked up towards the house, it was still such a long distance to cover. No, Katherine was not alone. Oh god, what had she done? She breathed out her lungs and puffed in as much air as she could and ran towards the house.

    All this while she had been doing her best to protect her sister but now, it had found her and she couldn't do anything, Could she?

    Tears welled up in her eyes but she wiped them away. No matter how much she ran, the distance didn't seem to cut down. She ran with all her might but it seemed like she was going round and round in some kind of a circle. Her mind was in a constant battle with itself. She couldn't let anything happen to her baby sister. How could she fail her dad? She had promised him to do it even if it cost her, her life. But now?

    All these years, Katherine was under her protection because she wasn't supposed to know who she was or rather what she was. She was not an ordinary person. She had powers, just like their mother but Mirage hadn't been passed those powers but that didn't matter to her. These powers had cost their mother her life along with her husband's.

    He didn't want that for Katherine and that is why he had made Mirage promise him to keep Katherine's powers hidden and mirage had done it, faithfully for all these years but this one time, for her happiness and for Katherine’s, she had let her come home. This couldn't cost her sister. Her temptation engulfed her mind completely.

    Finally, when the moon hid under a thick cloud could she find her way to the house and she called out to Katherine, her voice thick with all the cold. She ran into Katherine's room, she wasn't there.  

    In the hall, wasn't there. In the kitchen, wasn't there. On the terrace, no sight of her. There was one room in which she hadn't looked. The house was a mess. It was in here, but she couldn't see it. She rushed into her room and found what she had feared. There was a note pinned on her bathroom door saying, "Hey Mirr, I know you hated it when I used your stuff, when were kids but I really don't care anymore okay? I'm meeting you after complete 8 years and so I'm all forgiven. I'm so happy and happiness is meee!
    P.s: You can't hate me coz I love you so much, Mirr. Haha! "


    The water was still on but Mirage knew something was wrong. It wasn't here anymore. Where had it gone? Where was it? She pushed open the door and she saw her there, lying there in the tub. Katherine was there, lifeless. Her head had a hole in it and blood oozed out colouring the water to a bright ruby. She walked over to Katherine and grimaced.

    It was horrific. 'It' had come to get her this way? How could it?

    The shower head poured out excessively hot water which gushed right over and into her head, killing her. What had it done? Her eyes popped out of their sockets and her mouth open so wide it could take in a baby elephant.  Mirage's temptation for happiness had cost Katherine's life.

    She was so happy and now she was Cherophobic!
