I stood in front of my father's house staring at it like I am a stranger. How do I even ask my mother if I am adopted?? Doesn't that sound crazy??
I summoned courage and walked to the mansion knocking on the door.
"Am coming." I heard mother say and I smiled. She opened the door and when she saw me she hugged me happily.
"Sandra. How have you been?" She asked as we disengaged.
"Good. Can I?" I asked pointing to inside the house.
"Sure. You just missed your father." She said and I sighed.
"That's a relief." I said and she turned to look at me.
"So you and your father are still having issues?" She asked.
"Mother let's forget about that. I an here to ask you something." I said and she looked serious than ever.
"Go on." She said gesturing me to sit.
"Mother please what's the name of the hospital you conceived me?" I asked and her eyes widened suspiciously.
She wanted to speak but I guess she couldn't find the right words.
"What... Why are you asking?" She asked shaking her head, trying to put on a smile.
"I have an assignment there." I said smiling and she nodded staring at me like she was keeping something.
"Mother are you okay?" I asked and she stood up.
"I am. I can't remember where you were conceived." She said looking away.
"Mother are you hiding something from me?" I asked and she shook her head.
"No,not at all. I guess need to lay my head. I am feeling a little Ill." She said walking away.
"I know the truth mom! Stop pretending. I was adopted right, picked up from the streets." I said and she paused.
I could feel she was sobbing.
"Who told you?" She asked in a shaky voice.
"My mother told me." I said and she looked back.
"Your mother is alive?" She asked and I nodded.
"And she told me everything. Why did you keep it from me since all these years?" I asked.
"Because I didn't know how to tell my daughter I am barren. Is that enough reason?" She asked and I saw tears roll down her eyes.
"I am sorry Mom." I said and she shook her head.
"I wouldn't let her have you. Not when she left you since all this years." She said and I shook my head.
"It wasn't her fault. She explained everything to me." I said.
"And you believe her? Nothing should make a mother forsake her child." She said.
"Not even when it's for their safety??" I asked and she sighed.
"Who is she?" She asked calmly.
"She is a witch. And I am one too." I said.
"What?" She asked and I nodded.
"She is among this witchcraft coven and she had to give me up to save me from the bad witches." I said and she seemed lost in thoughts.
"Now I understand why anytime you cried the fire in the house gained more pressure." She said and I furrowed my brows.
"It did?" I asked and she nodded.
"You were still very young. Anytime you were hungry you cried aloud and the fire does this puff thing. It was first scary, but then I got used to it. After some years, it finally stopped." She said.
"How come I can't remember any of those moments?" I asked and she shook her head.
"I don't know. I couldn't tell you because I would sound insane. I guess your powers died down because you weren't using them." She said.
"You believe in witches?" I asked and she nodded.
"I do Sandra, and I am not upset you are one. I knew right from the beginning you weren't an ordinary child." She said and I smiled hugging her tightly.
"Thank you Mom." I said and she nodded.
"So you are leaving me for good?" She asked and I shook my head.
"I am not. But I need to be with mother, maybe she could teach me how to use my powers. I need to be Sure no more bad witches are out there. They are the cause of all these." I said and she nodded.
"It's fine. I wish you good luck." She said.
"Mom was it because of my weirdness father never liked me?" I asked and she nodded.
"He never saw you as ordinary and that said a lot. He once said you are a witch when you were young, but I said no. Considering the fact I didn't even know you are one." She said.
"So father hate witches?" I asked and she shook her head.
"He never believed in the supernatural. So when he noticed you, he tended to develop hatred." She said and tears rolled down my eyes.
"Please don't blame him Sandra." She said and I nodded.
"I understand Mom. I should have my leave before he shows up." I said heading to the door.
"I love you Sandra. And I would love to meet your mother soon." She said and I smiled.
"I love you too Mom. And she would love to see you too." I said and she nodded.
I walked out of the house feeling a little happy that I face finally known the truth.
And the most wonderful of it is that I have super powers.
