So, this is for two reasons. I wanted to start a fresh new novel and drop most of my old stuff, and this occured to me, and I need (another) entry for a contest. Azilla's to be exact.
I got Urban and Blue so....
Blue
Prologue:
Mother always considered me to be a child. Even as I passed my seventeenth year, she considered me five. It was quite annoying. I was a much more adept witch, and she didn't like that. So, to get me back she treated me as a child.
Well, that was over. I was running away.
I had been planning for months, hiding away my food, and collecting everything in my tiny room at the top of the house. Mother never went up there, because it hurt her knees.
And tonight was the night.
My word is my bond, and my word was that I would never set foot in this house again.
Chapter 1:
I lay, wrapped in soiled cloth underneath a bridge.
This hadn't been my plan. My plan was to run away and create an alternate universe that was mine. But when I tried, my powers were completely drained and I couldn't do it.
And now I was forced to live under a bridge with the rats. Lovely.
I hadn't taken a shower in days, hadn't eaten anything much since yesterday. Should I go back? No. That was out of the question.
I huddled underneath the bridge and prayed to the goddess, praying she would leave me somewhere safe. The gritty dirt clung to my hair, clothes and skin.
"Blue...” whispered a voice, and i sat up.
A woman with blue hair was sitting beside me, and she radiated cleanliness.
"How did you know my name?" I said, sitting up.
"Just because you hide it from others, doesn't mean I don't know. I know everything there is to know about you. Your part of me. You’re my child."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about you being my daughter. Me, the goddess of the water. And other things."
"Your crazy lady." I said, shaking my head and turning away. Cars whizzed past, mud flicking off from their wheels.
"You think so? But didn't you just pray to me?"
I was speechless, not believing still.
"Yes ma’am" I said, my mouth moving without me meaning it.
"Hmm... And now you’re wondering how I knew that..."
I nodded, praying this was a dream.
"Oh no. This isn't a dream. More like a nightmare. You’re not going to believe what I show you about your heritage. And you'll learn your real name."
I shivered, feeling the omen her words brought. "Oh yes Blue. There is more to you than you know..."
"I want to know my real name." I said, backing away.
"Oh no. not yet. later."
She held out her hand and nodded her head. "Come take my hand."
