Chapter 1.26 Witch!

Thomas gave Rosie the look.

"Come on Rosie, I thought you were over the stuff in fairytales." He sighed, thinking what she was going to say was serious. Meanwhile, Alyssa had crawled off elsewhere.

"I am. I'm serious!" She frowned, narrowing her eyes a little. He didn't believe her? "Like, that day that you thought I ran away, that's when I got turned."

"Rosie, stop. This isn't funny." He frowned back. "Stop making up stories. I thought you wanted to tell me something serious."
"I am!" She raised her voice slightly, "There was this evil fairy, I met her when we went out to the festival for Halloween! She came to my bedroom one night, and she took me back to hers and turned me into a witch. She has a brother that's a vampire too."

"Rosie, seriously, stop." He started to get annoyed. She was obviously trying to be funny, and it wasn't working. Witches and fairies and vampires weren't real.

"Look! She even gave me a wand too! And it has special powers and that's how witches use their-"

"Rosie, stop!" He shouted, causing both Alyssa and Rosie to go quite. Alyssa was more scared than Rosie was though.

"Don't make up stories and fairytales and try to sell them off as real." He lowered his voice as he stood up, aware that Alyssa probably didn't like it. Even though he was annoyed at Rosie for lying, he didn't want to upset Alyssa. The toddler hasn't done anything wrong, unlike her sister. "I'll talk to you in a minute." He murmured, going upstairs with Alyssa.

Rosie growled, standing up and watching him go "I swear, I hate you!" She yells, hoping he would hear. She huffed, pacing back and forth. She was annoyed by her dad. How could he not believe her? Why would she even lie about something like that?

Meanwhile, Thomas was putting Alyssa up to bed. He wanted to think through what he would tell Rosie. She lied to him, and it wasn't even a good lie. She made up some bizarre thing, and it honestly made him feel as if she was mocking him. Alyssa, however, had almost forgot about this problem as she tried to reach out for the mermaid on her wall.

Alyssa soon remembered it, as she frowned, looking up at Thomas as he put her in her crib. "Angy?" She asked, looking up at him. She knew then that she didn't like it when her parents were angry. Once was enough for her.

"Rosie's just being silly." He mumbled, frowning a little. "Go to sleep, okay?" He kissed her on the top of her head, and turned off the bedroom light and closed the door.

Rosie was still downstairs, fuming now. How could he not believe her? Why would she even lie about this? She'll show him though. She'll show him when she makes the doll house fly to the other side of the room or something. She just needs to learn how to work this wand... It couldn't be that difficult, right?

Wrong. She honestly had no clue how she did it, but before she knew it, there was a fire. Her eyes widened, scared. She didn't mean for that to happen. She quickly backed away from the growing fire, knowing how quickly it would take to wood. The house was going to burn down. She was the reason for if her house burns away.

She was stood stiff, from the shock of the fire, and hardly heard Thomas yelling at her to move out the way. She just continued to look at the fire, watching as it slowly disappeared. There was a ringing in her ears, as even though the room was warm, she was still frozen stiff. She did that. She caused a fire without even meaning too.

Rosie woke up when she heard Thomas, but only registered what he said halfway through "-know what to say!" He yelled, looking at her. All he could wonder was what was this all about? Was his daughter insane? No, surely not. At least, that's what he thought.
"It was the wand!" She yelled back, scared. She didn't want this anymore, she had to get rid of the wand. Not before she has at least proven her point though. "Look." She said, pulling it out.

"Rosie, this has gone far past a-" He stopped when he saw the train of what he can only describe as sparkles coming from the tip of the wand.
"See? Magic." She replied quietly, not liking how quite Thomas was being. She began to wonder if telling him was a mistake now. What if he didn't accept her? And told her to move out, and go live with her mom? No, surely he wouldn't do that...
"Explain, now." He spoke almost like a robot, ripped of emotion or tone. Rosie couldn't tell if he was angry or not, he probably was though.

She frowned a little, before going over everything. She went over how the fairy told her that her family would be in trouble if she didn't become a witch. Rosie went through most of the little details while Thomas just listened.
There was a long silence, before he finally spoke. He sighed before speaking "Don't use your magic too much around the house, okay? There's only so many fire extinguishers we can have before people get suspicious." He half smiled at her.
"I won't, I promise." She mumbled, unsure if he was okay with it or not. He wasn't yelling, so that had to be a good sign, right? Rosie quietly excused herself upstairs.

She walked into her room, closing the door softly behind herself. She waited, then said "I told him." She waited again, walking into the room a little more.

"How did he take it?"

She turned to face Liam "Alright I suppose. I didn't tell him the full truth though." She went closer to him.

"Oh yeah?" He raised an eyebrow, smirking. "Miss Rosie decided against telling her Daddy about the vampire she's dating?" He grinned, teasing lightly.

She laughed a little, looking up to him "He only just learned I was a witch, I'm pretty sure he would have a heart attack if he knew I knew a boy, let alone dating." She closed her eyes, feeling his palm against her cheek. She smiled softly, "I think maybe leave the introductions to another time."

He tilted his head a little, "I'm not that bad, am I? I mean, take away the fact that my species is probably one of the most dangerous there is... I'm not a bad guy if I say so myself." He smirked.

Rosie rolled her eyes, grinning, "No, but we're past the time of father's setting up their daughter's marriages. If my Dad finds out I'm dating... I think he probably will have a heart attack." She raised an eyebrow ever so slightly.

"Lets hope he doesn't walk in then." Liam murmured, and right now both teenagers were right next to each other and then he kissed her softly.

Downstairs, Thomas was busy with a call from his boss. It was weird, bearing in mind that tomorrow was supposed to be his day off.
"We need to see you tomorrow. 0700 hours." His boss informed him.
He couldn't help but wonder what was wrong, was he getting fired? Surely, that couldn't be it. "Is there's something we need to discuss?" He asked, wanting to know why he was being called in.
"The time for talking is tomorrow. Goodnight." And with that, the line was dead.

AN: In the pictures where you can see Thomas, Alyssa and Rosie, I always want to change one of their hair colours. It feels like there's too many people with the same hair colour. 
So, here's the ever awaited chapter of Rosie finally telling Thomas her secret. In the fire scene, Rosie refused to freak out over the fire. Probably because she caused it.
