    Preface

    My name is Arabella. Over the last couple of weeks, I have discovered my true identity. You go through life thinking you know yourself, only to realize you have an unknown side to you. It takes a lot of courage to face change. I’ve seen and done things that shouldn’t be possible in this world. Within such a short timeframe, I have loved, lost, and battled for survival.

    This is the story of my revelation, how I found out who I am and the events and consequences that followed.

    Part One:

    The Beginning

    I couldn’t believe it! I was about to turn sixteen – an exciting milestone! It’s the age at which things start getting cemented, and I was looking forward to the prospects.

    I live with my mom and younger brother, Sebastion. There’s a six-year age difference between us. Our father deserted us four years ago, leaving an unspoken of presence despite his absence. Mom never speaks about it. In a sense, we’re kind of forbidden to bring him up in conversations; his abandonment left a huge desolate hole in our lives. But Sebastion and I are doing well in spite of our father’s desertion; we have a lot of friends and a healthy social life.

    My best friend is Emma. We’ve been friends since we were toddlers, and live next door to one another. Emma is an only child. Her mom sadly passed away when she was very little and was left in the sole care of her father Ray, a kind and comical man. He goes to great lengths to show that Emma is his pride and joy.

    Emma and I are excited for Thursday, the day of my sweet sixteenth, even though I wasn’t having a party; just a quiet dinner with mom, Sebastion and Emma. I was looking forward to the magical feeling of finally turning sixteen. Little did I know that on the day of my birthday, I would find the irony in that thought.

    When Thursday morning finally arrives, I wake up with an exuberant smile, excited for the day. I check my phone to see a text from Emma, Arabella, happy birthday beautiful, finally sweet sixteen, get your butt ready, and I’ll see you soon! xox.

    Thank you Emma, I’ll be ready shortly, can’t wait to see your pretty face! xox. I text back with a laugh.

    Good morning my birthday girl! Mom says in a sing-song voice as she enters my room.

    Morning mom! I reply with a huge smile, putting my phone aside to accept her warm hug.

    Yeah, happy birthday Arabella, Sebastion parrots as he scrunches his face.

    Thanks Sebastion. I giggle.

    Here you go honey, Mom hands me a pink box tied by a black ribbon. I start opening it enthusiastically, heart hammering with excitement.

    Sebastion, honey, can you go to your room and get ready for school?

    But mom, I want to see what Arabella got, he replies, disappointment coloring his voice.

    Please darling, Mom beseeches.

    Fine, was his reply as he stomps out of the room in a dramatic manner. I roll my eyes at his attitude and return my attention back to my present. I excitedly open it as mom watches me with a fond smile.

    Mom, I’m ready, can I see what Arabella got now? yells Sebastion.

    Mom rolls her eyes with a grin and briefly shakes her head.

    Go and eat your breakfast honey, I’ll be downstairs shortly, says mom, a tone of finality in her voice, letting him know not to argue.

    I absentmindedly listen to their altercation, focusing on the blank white card lying inside the box. This is strange, what am I supposed to do with a blank card?

    It’s time you know, she states calmly with a soft smile.

    Time to know what? I think with trepidation, feeling uneasy.

    Pick up the card honey.

    Bewildered, I do as she says only to be startled by black words magically forming, as if roused from sleep, as soon as my fingers come into contact with the card. I freeze in shock and drop the card, which flutters downwind.

    Mom leans down and picks it up, handing it to me again with an understanding smile. I carefully take it from her and look back at the card, the words now completely unveiled.

    It read: ‘One, two three, magic you’ll soon see, you’re now sixteen, an enchantress you’ll be…’

    I look at my mother, more confused than ever. "What’s going on
