"Don't cry My Little Lilac..."

"Remember that you are extraordinary and will do great things!"

"I love you my brightest little witch! Always be the witch that I know you'll be! Like our favorite witch Sabrina Spellcaster!"

Said the gentle hushed voice, of a man that Lila knew who he was by the instant was her father Sebastian. Remembering his kind words, and inspirations. Lila couldn't help but cry, as she misses him dearly. She missed hugging him, talking to him as well as drawing and reading their favorite comic book of their fictional witch Sabrina Spellcaster. Lila couldn't really remember clearly what the memory meant as it was a bit hazy and so long ago. But she felt that the memory was something that was giving her hope and a way to keep moving forward.

With that in mind, she thought and said to herself. While wiping away her tears.

"Wait..... who cares if I'm a witch??? Yeah, actually.... I shouldn't feel bad for wanting to be one — Besides, my favorite character is a witch!!! So I think it's amazing if I'm a witch. As long as I can create things and if it makes me happy. Then I'm glad if I'm a witch!!!" Shouted Lila as she clenched her hands — with confidence in dedication in her eyes. And then, out of nowhere. She hears a tapping and scratching on the window of her room. Making her jump, as she got spooked from the sudden sound.

*Tap *Tap *Tap!

*Scratch *Scratch *Scratch!

Thinking it will be another or the same owl from last time. She saw that it was a weasel instead this time. And it too had a collar medal around its neck — followed by a letter on its harness. Lila quickly opens the bedroom window to let the weasel in. In which it took the letter out from its harness by biting on the edge of the paper; gently so there wasn't any sort of damage to the envelope, and handed the letter to Lila. On which she happily and eagerly accepted right away. She looked at the letter, hoping if the sender had sent her another letter — where she was happy and relieved to see that it was another letter that was addressed to her, as well as being the exact copy of the one that was destroyed earlier. Once she had the letter in her hands, the weasel bowed to Lila and made its way towards the backyard's little garden, as it spotted something in the little garden — in which it helped itself with hunting down the little mice that were rummaging through the garden's produce.

Once the little weasel made its leave, Lila waved and whispered a little 'thank you' to the letter messenger; and closed the window. Before Lila opened the letter, she walked towards the door, making sure to lock it — so that Olga wouldn't come in and destroy it again. Although she could still come into the room, while unlocking both top and bottom locks. But she knew that it would buy her some little time to quickly hide the letter, if she heard the lock of the door opening.

When Lila opened her letter, quickly removing the wax sealment and taking the letter out from the envelope — and in complete surprise, the letter began floating in thin air; then it folded itself in an odd way — turning itself into a paperformed bird. Then, what spooked her a bit more was that the paper bird began speaking, using a stern voice. Which sounded like a woman, with a strange accent — one that Lila has never heard anyone speak in such a way:

The paper bird then stopped speaking as it read through the entire letter — as it did, it turned back into what it was before; folded itself and went back inside the envelope. Then landing onto Lila's hands.

From where Lila couldn't believe her eyes, nor did she think that it was real. She chuckled for a bit — as she heard the speaker, or yet alone the paper bird with the stern woman's voice; pronouncing her last name wrong. But she mainly focused on the letter, that turned into a paper bird — and how it was just speaking as if it were a person.

"A school's acceptance letter that was sent specifically for me??? And not just any school — a school for witches and wizards??? I-is this for real??? Or does this mean that... that I'm..-"

Was what she thought — and wasn't able to finish her last sentence after hearing the 'paper bird' letter. She couldn't quite believe what she just heard, as she felt she was probably dreaming right now or maybe just imagining everything. Maybe from lack of proper sleep, and lack of eating, has finally made her mad. But to be a hundred percent sure; she pinched herself so hard to see if she was dreaming or not. But as she did, she was still holding onto the letter in her hands. She opened it one more time slowly, to see if it would turn into a paper bird and speak again. As she opened the letter, instantly turned into a paper bird, replaying the same message. She immediately grabs the floating paper bird letter and folds it back to being a simple written parchment and puts it back inside the envelope as well as putting the letter aside on her bed, as she is at a loss for words.

Now being convinced that the letter was real, yet alone alive somehow? Being enhanced with some sort of magic, in order for it to have itself form into a paper bird, and having the ability to speak. Even if it's a piece of parchment, and it shouldn't be speaking — but it was, and it spoke twice right before her. She also thought how magical it was for both letters being delivered by none other than a barn owl and a weasel, as it seemed something that was only possible in fairytale stories. She was even more surprised to hear from the paper bird's little beak about her living conditions and about her previous letter — as if it or the sender knew that her previous letter was delivered and destroyed shortly after.

It was at that point, she knew that it had to be magic, and if it wasn't — then what?

Feeling overwhelmed, tears suddenly formed and dripped down from her face; landing on her acceptance letter. She was crying tears of joy and felt like it was a dream come true.

"I'm... I'm a witch???"

Was what Lila said; and was the only thing that came to mind, while more tears began coming down her face, sounding a bit unsure yet convinced. But then thought that this seemed too good to be true, and still couldn't believe what was actually happening. As if the letter wasn't enough to fully convince her somehow? Also thinking, yet again that maybe she might still be probably dreaming, for sure. And was probably having some sort of vivid wild fantasy-type of dream — dreaming about mail delivering owls and weasels and magical talking paper bird letters. Heck — she had no idea what an oasel was — as it was told and written on the paper bird letter.

"Was it some sort of animal??? Or an object of some sort??? And is it somehow related to the strange occurrences of what happened earlier today???" Was what she thought about, as she also wonders if the strange occurrences from earlier as well as everything else like what was happening now; were somehow connected — were they somehow magic too? Or probably some sort of well constructed prank?

But then, it hit her. As she began to realize that maybe — it was related to all the strange and unusual occurrences from earlier.

Even if she couldn't really understand nor explain how any of these occurrences happened at first. She thinks that maybe with what happened with the stairs and mud pit — could really be the source of magic, and now this letter. But was still dividedly thinking about the ambiguous thought.

"Well.... That could be one reason.... Or maybe a mere stunt or trick that Olga might have constructed maybe??? Or maybe I'm still having some sort of a strange fever-like dream??? But this letter and these occurrences seemed to be quite real... or — Ugh!!! I don't know what's real and what not anymore!!! — I just need a sign or something to prove that I'm not going mad here!?!-"

Lila argued to herself, as she grew frustrated. But as she was complaining to herself — she heard the dresser rumble a bit, making her to quickly notice. She was a bit startled, as it then began to slowly float — float into mid air.

As Lila was watching the dresser float in mid air — her jaw fell to the ground and was both shocked and confused, and wasn't sure what was happening or what she was seeing was even possible.

Then for a brief moment, the dresser landed back to the ground gently — seeing this startled Lila a bit. Not knowing what she did, or if she actually did something to make the dresser float or not.

But just to be sure, that it was her doing. She tried focusing on the dresser, by staring at it; tried making the dresser float again — but no luck — it didn't move and just stayed still. But instead of giving up, and instead making the dresser float.

She tried making the drawers open this time without touching and pulling on them.

After focusing on the dresser for a brief moment again — she suddenly see's one of the drawers move a bit slightly forward on their own. And then suddenly — all drawers flew out of the dresser — the drawers quickly flew towards where Lila was; and immediately crashed into the wall behind her — almost hitting Lila, but luckily she ducked just in time.

"What's Going on up there?!? I'm trying to watch my show!"

Olga shouted from downstairs. Lila completely forgot that Olga was still downstairs, and was afraid that she would come upstairs to see what she was doing and to find the dresser's drawers as well as tethered clothes on her bed. (More importantly, the holes that were left on the wall, due to the impact of the flying drawers) Lila feared if Olga would come upstairs to see and question what was happening; and so — she quickly acted fast, in order for Olga to not come in the bedroom, and accuse her and beat her of witchcraft.

"I'm... I'm sorry — I'll try to keep quiet for now!!! I was just u-upset, and t-took it out on the dresser." Lila replied back. Wondered in worry if Olga believed what she said, or if she somehow knew that she was lying and would come marching upstairs — barging in at any moment and seeing what was really happening.

"You're not the only one living here you know! Keep quiet or else I'll come up and teach you a lesson!" Olga barked back. Lila sighed in relief as she heard Olga not marching up the stairs, as she heard the television playing on the other side as well as Olga snorted in laughter. Almost sounding like a pig was laughing hysterically from the other side of the door. Laughing loudly on whatever was on tv.

"O-okay... I'll keep quiet!!!" She replied back, but Olga probably didn't hear her, since she was probably too focused on her favorite show. Which Lila was glad that she was focusing on the television rather than on her — as she was safe for now — but thought it was probably best to not make any more ruckus. To keep Olga downstairs with her precious show and television.

But overall — after witnessing what happened in person; the letter, the dresser, the drawers, including the whole stair-slide and mud pit incident. She was finally fully convinced that what was happening and what she did, was actually magic and not just a made up dream and wasn't her going completely mad.

She grabbed the acceptance letter that she set aside on her bed after putting it away — and hugged it tightly. Being happy and overjoyed that it was actually happening. She opens the letter again, as she wanted to hear the paper bird's message of her acceptance again:

After that, she kept replaying the letter, despite having to hear her name being pronounced incorrectly — she wanted to hear the message — over and over. And couldn't be more happy and thrilled that things were actually starting to look brightly for her — and for once, she cannot wait for her to start her new journey and life. As well as her new voyage at a magical school — finally accepting and believing that she does have magical abilities, like her beloved character Sabrina. And hopes in becoming the type of witch she was. That and having the opportunity and chance to live out her dream of becoming a real magical witch.

"I'M A WITCH!!!" Shouted Lila so happily, with tears falling down her eyes — but quickly quieted down as she almost forgot about Olga. But luckily, Olga didn't hear her, since she was still engrossed with her show, as the pig-like laughter could be heard from the other side of the door. Lila was relieved that Olga didn't hear what she said, as things would have been gravely worse for her, if she did hear her.

Lila then quickly got up from her bed and began tidying up and tried hiding the visible holes on the walls with some drawings that her sisters drew — and with it, she tapped all the drawings up, to cover up the holes. Which she was glad that it did, or else her sisters would come back to see the eye-sore of the holes that she accidentally did; before they came back from school.

After picking up and folding the rest of the clothes that were scattered on her bed — and placing them in the drawer. Lila grabbed the filled drawers, one by one. And placing them back to where they were.

"Your a witch!!!" She said in a loud whisper. "Lila Cynder Evie — Your a witch..." Lila hummed lastly, while happily placing the last drawer to its place.
