#### A trip down memory lane

Lindsy pov: \* i yawned after helping my uncle Tito help him set up security cameras al around the house \* " hey why don't you go see April and see if she needs any help " uncle Tito asked to me, " no it's fine I want to help you...and April still doesn't like me uncle, you know that" I say tiredly.

" oh right, s-sorry hon, hey why don't you just go home and see your grandma? " uncle Tito asked me, " uh ok" I hugged him and started to leave, I was passing the playground just outside of my street.

\* 10 years before \* 6 year old lindsy ( baby lindsy ) pov: i was at the playground on the swing, I realised it was getting dark so I got off the swing and started heading home, that's when I tall man stood over me and asked " you lost little girl, I could help take you home ",

" ok I live just down here " I said accepting the tall man's offer, " so how's baby class kid? " it's not baby class, it's big girl class!! " I said proudly, " I'm sure it is kid" he said as he chuckled, " well here we are, thank-you tall man" I said thanking him.

I walked in the door to be treated by my grandma " hello my gorgeous firework " she said booping my nose " I'm making pasta, wanna try some?" She asked, " yes please grandma " she picked me up and grabbed her spoon and gave me some pasta to try.

" mmm, delicious grandma " I said, " you are a wonder in the kitchen mum " mama said walked in " mama! " I said as she picked me up and swung me in her arms. she wiped the paint off her face and gave me a kiss on the head then put me down.

" ok now go upstairs and play in your room and we'll call you down for dinner ok baby? " mama asked me " ok mama! " I said running upstairs into my room. About 15 minutes later my baba ( dad ) walked in, " hey honey " he said as he walked in " hi daddy " I replied to him.

" hey so I was looking through your class' and noticed that your almost finished baby class' " it's big girl class baba, duh" I replied sassily, " yes cause your a big girl " he said booping my nose, " but your about to start track class' and I was wondering what track you wanted to learn in?"

#### The reminders

\* present time \* lindsy pov: i walked in through the front door to be greeted by grandma " hello dear " she said getting up from the couch and greeting me, " hi grandma " I said to her, " wheres your uncle Tito?" She asked " oh he just sent me home early so just normal time he usually comes back ".

" I'm gonna go to my bed k grandma " i Said " ok dear hey I'm making fairy blood soup wanna try " grandma said as she got in her wheelchair and came to the kitchen, " grandma it would be better if you would just stay in the wheelchair " I said as she rolled over to the kitchen counter.

" Maybey but the couch is comfy, you can't judge me I've been doing it for 10 years and I will continue to do it " she said stirring her soup, " ok grandma " I said as a i grabbed the spoon and stirred it for her.

I then tried the soup " mmm, this is really good grandma! Mum was right you are a wonder in the kitchen grandma " I said stirring the soup again " what can I say, im a disabled 43 year old woman who is amazing in the kitchen ".

" alright, I'm going to my room call me when dinners ready, k grandma?" I said walking up the stairs " ok dear "

\* 10 years later \* 6 year old lindsy pov: " I was wondering what track you would like to take lindsy? " he said getting a pen holding a school note " ooh what about potions baba, you can make them go boom! " I said making an explosion motion. " potions you sure hon? " asking me " this is serious lindsy you sure potions?" Baba asked me again.

" yes daddy, I want blow up the school! " I said courageously, baba started laughing at my statement " ok honey I'll put you down for potions ok?" He said " yay! " I said excitedly. " ok I'll go give this to mama to sign then next year you're gonna be in track studying " baba said excitedly.

" yay, I'm so excited for you and mama to help me with the explosions " i said excitedly " me to honey, mwah " he kissed my forehead and left the room, I was in my room playing with my dolls when I heared a beeping and thumping through the house.

That's when grandma all smoked up smashed my door down " lindsy come- \* coughs \* come on honey we...we gotta go quick  " grandma told me , " what's wrong grandma? " I asked her, then we both saw fire outside my room and I started tearing up, " grandma what's going on?! " I said grabbing on to my t-Rex teddy.

" hey hey it's ok just come with me ok " grandma said trying to calm me down " ok grandma" I said scared, she picked me up in her arms and we both saw fire on the stairs, grandma slid down the rails of stairs and we fell off the rails and we both landed on her legs " AAHH!! " she said in pain.

That's when I saw uncle Tito punching someone but they ran away, uncle Tito then came up to me and grandma " mum are you-" uncle Tito said before grandma interrupted him. " go! Take her out I'll take care of, ugh! Go!" Uncle Tito grabbed me and I saw mama and baba on the ground lifeless, uncle Tito took me outside and rushed back inside and grabbed grandma and placed her on the ground.

#### The burning

" hey hey it's ok just come with me ok " grandma said trying to calm me down " ok grandma" I said scared, she picked me up in her arms and we both saw fire on the stairs, grandma slid down the rails of stairs and we fell off the rails and we both landed on her legs " AAHH!! " she said in pain.

Take her out I'll take care of, ugh! Go!" Uncle Tito grabbed me and I saw mama and baba on the ground lifeless, uncle Tito took me outside and rushed back inside and grabbed grandma and placed her on the ground.

We stayed there watching the house burn down, I started tearing up as nicely Tito called the healing coven.

\* present \* I sat in my room looking through my scroll, I saw I got a text from uncle Tito, " hey kid, I'm gonna be late tonight make sure you tell grandma ok?" He texted me, " sure uncle tito " I replied, "❤️" he replied to me "❤️" I replied back. I put my scroll down on my chest and went downstairs to tell grandma.

\* 10 years before\* Tito pov: i was sitting on the couch and waved to lindsy, half an hour later a tall shadow covered man kicked down the door and started stabbing Lindsy's dad brutally, I jumped on him and he stabbed me in the shoulder, he started to light the house on fire and Lindsy's mum started to attack the tall witch but she got attacked I couldn't help but just watch them brutally die and scream.

I saw mum go to get lindsy and the figure following, I stopped him and cut his arm off and started punching him so hard his blood started to flinch against my face and my fist started bleeding, I smashed his head against the floor, but he stabbed my stomach and chest and got away.

I heard mum screaming in pain " MUM!! " I yelled, I went over picked lindsy up and after I put her down I grabbed mum and dragged her out and looked back and couldn't help but have tears roll down as I saw my lifeless brother and sister-in-law.

\* present \* lindsy pov: after I told grandma what uncle Tito texted me I got a  notification " anniversary date: visit mama's and baba's grave- 2 days " I swiped away, and I got another notification from Mason.

" hey, I just stole some flowers for Tomorow, eye-lid tulips right? " Mason texted me, " Mason the anniversary is in 2 days " I replied to him " oh, I knew that " he replied back to me " 🤦‍♀️ " I sent him.

" Mason you idiot! " Johanna texted Mason and they started arguing again,

\* 10 years ago \* lindsy pov: \* uncle Tito " I said tearing up "wheres mama and baba? " I said grabbing on to him " I'm sorry hun but there...they're not coming back " he said as he hugged me. 8 months later I finally joined school, our house was burned down, grandma was disabled and uncle Tito had to bring me to work cause I have homework now and grandma can't help because 6 leg therapy.

".

" yes " I said gloomy, while uncle Tito was looking away i run upstairs to see an amazing house full of sparkling walls, I run down a big hall and saw a table full of pretty cutlery and sparkling plates and there was one chair that was SO different than the others.

It was a big purple chair with golden crown " woah " I said surprisingly, above the realy fancy chair was a picture with uncle Tito's boss mrs raven " woah mrs raven and I'm guessing her husband and her child ? " I thought to myself.

" what the ? " I heard someone say " Ahh! " I spun around seeing a girl " oh hi " I said to her " uh uh, who are you? " she ask's " oh hi I'm lindsy who are you? " I say putting my hand out to shake while my tails Wags, " uh April, Raven obviously! " she says as she shoved my hand away.

" wait a minute aren't you my mama's slaves daughter? " she says sinisterly " uh...no Im my uncle Tito's niece, he's blue...water uh water tail? " I replied.

#### April and Lacey

" hey I called my mum mama too! " I say excitedly " well looks like mum, or mother is in and mama is out " she says disgusting, well " she snaps her finger " Alfred!, take this child back to the basement " she said as a butler came to her and dragged me back into the basement,

" sir make sure that you put her on a Leash if she's going to run away " the butler said " oh thank Titan your ok, oh yep I'm so sorry I'll keep a better eye on her " uncle Tito says as the butler walks out of the basement.

I sat there quietly waiting " what were you thinking lindsy, you could've gotten lost or hurt! " uncle Tito yelled at me " I'm sorry I was just curious, baba always said to always let my curiosity get the better of me! " I replied to him.

" well your curiosity got your parents killed lindsy!! " uncle Tito yelled, I started to tear up " lindsy I... " I started to run out crying " lindsy! " uncle Tito yelled out to me, I ran upstairs and outside.

I saw the girl before and another girl walk pass me " oh what is this doing here again? Do I need to call Alfred again?! " she said to me " April calm down she's crying, she's obviously not a slave, slaves don't have feelings " the other girl said " oh trust me Lacey she is a slave just like the rest of these pathetic witches "

" I'll g-go " I said wiping my face trying to hide my tears  " ok byyyee! " Lacey said as I walked off. The next day I was with uncle Tito again and sat in the corner making small pieces of wood for the bird house, for homework.

Then April walked in " hello sir I was just wondering if I could borrow your daughter? " April asked uncle Tito " I'm sorry I don't have a daughter, do you mean my niece lindsy? " uncle Tito asked " niece huh? Ok yes lindsy " April said asking for me.

#### Memories

We started to walk into her room " hey April, what the Titan! " Lacey whispered to April " just trust me ok, I know what I'm doing " April replied, we walked into her room " please sit lindsy " she said with a smile, I sat on the floor wondering what's going on.

" ok, well I heard a little gos saying that your parents are well dead, is that true? " April asked me " oh uh yeah " I said " aw well that's just sad, am I right Lacey " April asked " uh yeah sure " Lacey said, she was not sad.

" lindsy? " I heard someone, " huh? " I turned to the door " what wrong lindsy " lindsy!? " the voice said again, it sounded like my mum " mama? " I said facing the door " lindsy!! " my dad said " mama! Baba! " I yelled starting to tear up.

" lindsy! It's your fault " mama said with a shaky voice " huh? " I wondered " it's your fault lindsy, it's your fault lindsy! ITS YOUR FAULT LINDSY! " I just kept hearing that repeating and repeating, I started crying. " it's not I know it's not!! " I said to myself.

A few minutes later I heard April and Lacey just laughing hysterically " do you find this...funny? " I said " oh chill out honey it's just a joke " April said " yeah it's not like it's gonna hurt you " Lacey agreed with April and they started laughing again " and if you tell anyone this I will make sure your uncle will get fired ok? " April threatened me. " yes April " I said scared and they went back to laughing at me.

" yes April " I said scared and they went back to laughing at me. I ran out crying and into the basement, and jumped into uncle Tito's arms " honey are you ok? " hey asked me " April an-and Lacey the-they " I stuttered crying, " it's ok honey take your time " he said " I just wanna go home! " I said crying hugging him.

#### The twins

A few days after meeting Lacey and April they started to find me walking in the school and picking on me during school hours, I was walking to the tuck shop to eat lunch then my leg got stuck in some rope and I was hanging from the ceiling.

As I was swinging from the ceiling I heard laughter of two boys? " I'm sorry April, I won't say it again! " then the laughter just stopped " wait do you mean April " one boy said " April RAVEN!! " the other boy said.

" uh yeah? " I said confused " ain't she the most rich girl in the school?! " the first boy asked, the second boy hit him " duh everyone knows her idiot!" " don't call me an idiot you idiot" the first boy said, they started hitting each other.

" uh hello! " I yelled to get their attention " oh right sorry, hi I'm Jason and this is my ANNOYING twin brother, Mason " Jason said " \*gasps\* ANNOYING?! I am the exact opposite of annoying" Mason said.

" sure idiot " Jason said, they started hitting each other again, after a few minutes they realise I'm still here " uh hi I'm lindsy " I said " hi lindsy, well come on " they started to walk away and I just sat there looking miserable " aren't you coming lindsy? " Mason asked me.

" huh? I thought you were going to leave cause I can't let you meet April? " I asked " pfft, we don't care about her now come down ya goof where getting hungry " Jason said " but I don't know how to " I said " it's just a quick and easy reverse spell " Mason said.

" yeah I don't know that " I said confused " huh i thought they taught that in baby class? " Jason said as he did a reverse spell " I fell on the floor and Mason put his hand out to help me up " thanks " I said " now come on lunch is almost over " Jason said.

\* Present day \* I was sitting in my room looking at my photos in my scroll, some of Mason and Johanna, some of Helena and the twins blowing up some trees, a picture of all 5 of us. A few scrolls later i saw a picture of my 5 birthday. I started tearing up at the sight of the picture.

Uncle Tito walked in quietly making sure I wasn't asleep " hi honey, how was school ? " he asked me " good I'm good " I replied, he obviously knew I was crying and he saw the picture on my scroll " you ok? " he asked " I'm fine I'm fine trust me " I said.

" ok well Do you want to do the usual like every year? " he asked me " I was actually thinking something else " I said " really? " he asked " like what? " " well Maybey like a sleepover with a friend" I said, " is it one of your new friends? " he asked " Maybey " I said.

" if I haven't met them then it's just a big no! " he said " please uncle Tito, I wanna spend time with my new friends and just us! " I said " ugh ok " he said " really!? " yes but as long as it's not the criminal " he said " please please please! " I said " no " he kept repeating " the owl lady isn't even gonna be there, Helena says that she goes to the human realm once a week for 12 hours and it's this Friday! please! " I begged.

"...Fine " he said " really! Oh thank-you!! thank-you! " I said " ok but you do not leave with-ought the twins and you do not return with-ought the twins ok? " he asked " yes ok thank-you " I said hugging him, he gave me a kiss on the head " goodnight darling " he said " goodnight uncle Tito.
