Did you ever meet a person who is feared by everyone because she have a freaking special power? Everyone was afraid of her, she is Aubrey Aloff the daughter of Mr. Euro Aloff and Vica Aloff, her mother died when she gave birth to Aubrey. They only have two siblings and Aubrey was the youngest. Aubrey’s father married another woman who was a wicked one, she will be their stepmother now named Millen.
Her past…
Aubrey was still young before, when the time they discovered her power, she wouldn’t forget what had happened that day, it was the day of her birthday she is turning 6 years old but it’s not what you think had happened, her father and her wicked stepmother were fighting because of her, her father saw Millen abusing her, she does it every time her father was out, but Aubrey remained silent because she was threaten by Millen. Millen’s aura suddenly changed like she has a psychological disorder, the way she look is really different she was like about to kill. Aubrey was being afraid for her father, because Millen was about to attack her father with a knife in her hand, anger flash into Aubrey’s eyes when she saw what Millen was about to do. Her body suddenly surrounded by a blinding light Millen was stunned for what she was seeing, the light suddenly disappeared. Aubrey became more beautiful, her skin became as white as the snow, her hair became darker and shiner, she has a soft pink lips and her eyes was really beautiful but you can really see anger and vengeance in her eyes, and a black flame suddenly appeared in her hand, she is directly looking at Millen and the black flame becomes bigger she threw it to Millen but before it reached Millen, her father blocked it up for her second wife. The black flame hit her father and her father’s body was burned and turned into ashes, Aubrey was so shocked she couldn’t move and suddenly she fainted.
Since her father died she was always hurt physically and mentally by her stepmother and her brother couldn’t do nothing because he knew it will worsen the situation. Everyone wants her to die, because they witnessed her power, her power that accidentally killed her father in a terrifying way. From then on Millen and their neighbors planned how to kill Aubrey, but unfortunately Prune heard everything. As a brother of Aubrey, Prune decided to send her sister away from their place. As Aubrey and Prune is walking, they notice that they were being chased by the people in their place, so they run as fast as they could but the people who were chasing them was also fast, Prune stop and so Aubrey, “My sister do not forget that I love you so much, I will find you and we will live happy together, but right now run this way! Run as fast as you can, and no matter what you would hear do not look back, understand? I’ll make a way for you to escape I don’t want you to be killed so please Aubrey.” Aubrey nodded as a response to his brother she was a smart girl after all. Aubrey and Prune separated ways, Aubrey did what her brother have said, she run fast as she could and never looked back, she run while her tears were rolling down her cheeks. She was worried for her brother, that he might be the one to be blame of her escape. Aubrey was catching her breath as she reached another residence, she was really far now to the place she was born, but suddenly she felt dizziness and fainted. As Aubrey woke up and opened her eyes she doesn’t remember anything except her first name, she was laying on the cold ground somewhere she really don’t know. She slowly gets up and look at herself she was very dirty, and she don’t have anything other than the clothes she was wearing. She was all alone since she escaped that place, she beg for food to eat from those people she met on the streets, and at night she sleeps on the cold grounds at the roadside without any blanket. Until one day a middle age lady approached her, she has a perfectly bluish eyes, her long black waves of hair were behind her shoulders, she was a short woman with long purple robes drape down her perfectly curved body, and she had been a beautiful woman of the town, she was known by the name Seraphia. She convinced the little Aubrey to go with her. Seraphia asked Aubrey to adopt her.
Aubrey was being convinced by Seraphia, the lady started to buy her comfortable clothes and things she needed, but Aubrey didn’t know that the lady is a witch who was very fearsome, she cursed and kill people she was just in her disguise. The witch knew that the girl has a special power so she adopted her for a purpose. After they have finished to buy everything they need, it’s time for them to go home. The witch lived in the middle of the woods were no one can’t reach it, because Seraphia have many traps and spells around the woods. As they walked, the little girl Aubrey suddenly asked Seraphia “Miss Seraphia don’t you have any other companion in your house, like husband or siblings?” then the witch looks so uneasy about what have Aubrey asked about her life then she replied “I do not have any of them I live all alone by myself. I have told you already you should call me mama right now understand my little pretty Aubrey.” then they just walked with silence. Aubrey asked a question again “Are we not there yet Miss Seraphia I mean mama?” then Seraphia replied “almost there baby” then after a minute they already stop. “Where is your house mama I can’t see anything but the woods?” Aubrey asked her “my house was beyond those woods, we can stay here for a while so could rest a little, I know you are tired already.”
Aubrey sat under the big tree in front of her, while playing with the dew covered grass beside her. When they have already a little rest they continued to walk inside the forest. As they walk on the woods, the familiar smell of wood smoke, entered their nostrils and they breathed the comforting smell deep to their lungs. The sun had already fallen low in the sky, the fading sunset and a disappearing remains of its blistering light, at night’s approach the cold breeze embraces their skin. The tall trees surrounding the place was already creating the area into darkness, making it difficult to see. Sounds of animals are getting louder and scarier. Little Aubrey was being frightened that she grab her new foster mother’s robe.
Seraphia suddenly stopped and further increased the fear of the child, because the four big trees in front of them suddenly move apart and made a way, where in you can for see a small cottage made from woods. Aubrey hid behind her foster Mother and embrace her left leg. She took the child in her arms and walked towards her house. Her house was just small and was split into four square rooms and generally had a very uncomfortable feel about it. Two rooms were decorated in the same manner, with a various skins hanging from the walls and full of things which is used by a witch, like potions, blades, the broom, magical clothes, the thing they called cauldron, the chalice or cup, the paton, a wood inscribed with the five pointed star in a circle, the magical wand, and many more.
The main room they have just entered, had a small stove at one end and a wooden table and chairs set at the middle of the room, it has also a mini fire place at the other end, and the remaining room will be owned by Aubrey. Aubrey sat beside the fireplace when a black cat jump out of nowhere to her lap, she was shocked but she manage to touched and caress the black cat. The black loves the way it was being treated, then suddenly the child talked to it. “what is your name black cat?” then the cat meows at her, Seraphia was the one who answered the child, “Her name was Luna, you can treat her as your own pet right now.” Aubrey smiled very wide and kiss the forehead of her new cat named Luna.

Her present…
My name is Aubrey, and I couldn’t remember anything from my past before my foster mother adopted me. I lived with her now for the past eleven years of my life. Living with her in the first 3 years? She was being a loving and caring mother. I felt like I was being in a paradise, she gives me everything I want and I need. She always let me do what I want, even if I always witnessed creepy things around here, my mother told me that it was just normal and I must into it already, but then she suddenly change.
When I turned 10, she became cruel and a sadistic bitch. Sometimes I wondered why I am the one she adopted, there’s many of us that time a child without a home, as she said she found me on a roadside playing with those children with dirty clothes and dirty body. For how many years now I’ve lived with her along with her ruthless punishments and her mind games. She don’t wants me to go outside anymore like we used to, she always locked me inside the house when she left, luckily I’ve got Luna she was my stressed reliever when my mother stressed me out. I always try to enter the rooms which she said me not to but my curiosity triggers me, so as soon as she left the house, I started to find a way for me to see what’s inside but it was really secured, I know when she finds this out she’ll screw the hell out of me.
One day my mother hurriedly left me in the house but of course she wouldn’t forget to lock me out. But I’m used to it already, I watch her from our glass window as she left, she was really in a hurry. When I was about to go to my room I saw the door which was slightly open and it was the room of my mother. I walked towards it and I was about to enter her room but I remember what she had always said “do not dare to enter this two rooms of mine or else I will give you the worst punishment of your life.” But I was too curious so I did, I entered her room, things inside it were really scary, and looking at the things around here, will lead you to a conclusion, a conclusion that she was a witch. I couldn’t move and my body is shaking. Knowing that I was living all along with a witch, gives shiver all over my body. So that’s the reason why she don’t want me to go outside my room when its midnight. That’s was the reason why she wouldn’t allow me to enter her room, for me not to know her secret. Damn my foster mother is a witch. I was about to go out of her room when I saw her in front of me already. Her beautiful face suddenly changed, it became like a toasted one and her skin too, her hair was really messed up and dry, her finger nails became black and disoriented, and her reddish dark eyes that seemed to stare right through your soul. I can see anger in her eyes. She grabbed me and directly looked into my eyes. Green beams of light surrounded my body, the green light enveloped my stiffened body form and suspended me in the air. I felt a severe pain in my feet up to my head, I felt like I was dying in so much pain. I closed my eyes and something shown up, the memories when I was still a child were keep on flashing in my mind. My body was in a great pain but, the pain in my heart was overflowing, it was like there was something stabbed me directly in my heart. I killed my father, I killed my very own father. I felt the warm liquid flowing down through my cheeks as I remember everything. Then I already open my eyes, I saw the face of my foster mother in disguise and everything went black.

Seraphia..
‘I finally have her, finally I have already the girl I have waiting for years. It was really a tough work getting her here. I planned it all from the beginning except the death of Vica the real mother of Aubrey, when I reached the news that the runaway heiress of the Good Witches was dead already after she gave birth to her child, I started to spy her family already. It is the only way for me to have my best vengeance, I started to watch them from afar, until I got the nice timing of getting into his husband, I am the one who pretend as Millen their step mother. I told you it was all planed. I knew that one of Vica’s child has a power which was like her. I always watched the moves and changes by the children. Almost all the time I was with them, I didn’t notice anything strange. I thought of how will I know who had the power, I do not have enough time already so I have to hurry I know that the good witches were finding for them too, and that day that’s what had happened. But now she knew who really am I this coming week will be her 17th birthday, and Im really excited for it because it is the day for my revenge for those who betrayed me. For those who curse me, for those people who take away my family.
38 years ago when I met the heiress of the good witches. She was lost in the middle of the woods where, where the evil witches live. I was a spy sent by the good witches to spy those evil witches. I got this job for me to give my gratitude to them for helping my parents when they were still alive, and adopt me when my parents were gone. I was spying that time when I saw Vica walking alone through the woods, I spotted those evil witches going through her direction. I immediately run into her and covered her mouth, we are just on the same age that time. We hid at the trunk of the biggest tree near us. Luckily those witches turned into another direction. From then on we became friends with Vica.
She always come with me when I spy those evil witches, she told me that “we will watch and protect each other’s back” I told not to come because it’s too dangerous when they see us but she insisted. We’ve been best friends since then. I was the one who married first, I married a normal people who is just like me and we have a child. Yes I was just a normal person before until that nightmare had happened. I was still a spy before, Vica want to see the man she would love to marry that time and that man live across the river but you must have to pass along the place of the witches. Her stubbornness that I can’t handle, she still got in there I cannot do nothing but follow her. When we are about to passed the evil witches house when they just suddenly appeared out of somewhere and they surrounded us. I hated the way they looked at us, and the way they laugh. I think they are more than 10 that time, one of the witches attacked us but Vica used to protect herself with her power.
I had never experienced to have a fight with them before I just spy them. Then suddenly all of them attacked us, I knew some of self-defense and it was the only one Im using to fight them. I saw their leader who was about to attacked Vica while she fight the others. I run towards the witch and pushed her with all my strength and hit her attacks on one of the trees and it fell. The witch looked at me furiously, I couldn’t move she’s saying something I couldn’t understand. Then suddenly I realized that she is putting cursed on me I tried to move but I really can’t. Green beam of lights covered my body and the last thing I heard was Vica “no!!!!” then I lost my consciousness. “mother please do everything to take away the curse” I hear a voice saying “Vica, I can’t figure out what is the curse being thrown to her, so I can’t heal her.” tears flowing down through my cheeks Vica saw me “Im sorry, it was all my fault, im sorry”.
There are still no signs that time, I feel the same, I feel like normal, but then I noticed the sudden change of me. It started when I wake up every time in the middle of the night, my husband also noticed it. And every midnight comes, I feel something weird inside my body, it was like burning, and I can’t breath properly.

World Lit

...Faust: The First Part of the Tragedy Summary The next day Faust is alone in his study again. Mephistopheles enters, dressed as a nobleman. He tries to tempt Faust by offering him a life of limitless wealth and pleasure, but Faust sadly declines the offer, saying that the world's pleasures cannot end his doubts or satisfy his needs. Mephistopheles taunts Faust for his failure to commit suicide on Easter Eve and drives him to voice a rejection of the value of life and the traditional Christian virtues. The devil urges Faust to begin a new life with his assistance, and to exist no longer as an ordinary human being. If Faust agrees to become his servant after death (i.e. to sell his soul), Mephisto will be his during life and will guarantee to provide all that Faust desires. Faust accepts this offer with some hesitation, for he doubts Mephisto's ability to fulfill his end of the bargain, but makes a significant change in the wording of the pact. Faust promises that if any moment, however brief, is so charged with pleasure for him that he says, "Linger a while! Thou art so fair!" that will be the day of his death and he will serve the devil forever after. Analysis Mephisto's costume in this scene is a reminder to Faust of the narrow limitations on the world in which he has been living until now. Faust's change in wording recalls the divine law that action is the ruling force of the universe, and raises the story of this Faust to a higher philosophical level than that of the...

North American Fiction

...first documents in which the idea of Americanism is very present are the Sermons. They respond to the strict Protestantism settled in the New Continent after the arrival of the Pilgrim Fathers and Puritans in the Mayflower (1620) and the Arabella (1630). They established a theocratic community whose main and only point of reference was the Bible. That is why the idea of the ‘city upon a hill’ is still very present in American mentality. As we all know, their community was also governed by the concept of Predestination. This belief was based in the idea that we are saved or condemned since the very moment we are born or even, since the very moment when the Universe was created. Therefore, the way they confronted Good and Evil was that of effect-cause: if you are one of those who were going to be saved you certainly behaved as they were...

A Room of One's Own

...A ROOM OF ONES OWN [* This essay is based upon two papers read to the Arts Society at Newnharn and the Odtaa at Girton in October 1928. The papers were too long to be read in full, and have since been altered and expanded.] ONE But, you may say, we asked you to speak about women and fiction--what, has that got to do with a room of one's own? I will try to explain. When you asked me to speak about women and fiction I sat down on the banks of a river and began to wonder what the words meant. They might mean simply a few remarks about Fanny Burney; a few more about Jane Austen; a tribute to the Brontës and a sketch of Haworth Parsonage under snow; some witticisms if possible about Miss Mitford; a respectful allusion to George Eliot; a reference to Mrs Gaskell and one would have done. But at second sight the words seemed not so simple. The title women and fiction might mean, and you may have meant it to mean, women and what they are like, or it might mean women and the fiction that they write; or it might mean women and the fiction that is written about them, or it might mean that somehow all three are inextricably mixed together and you want me to consider them in that light. But when I began to consider the subject in this last way, which seemed the most interesting, I soon saw that it had one fatal drawback. I should never be able to come to a conclusion. I should never be able to fulfil what is, I understand, the first duty of a lecturer to hand you after an hour's discourse a...

...by. That had been nothing less than a fraud. He was satisfied gastronomically. His stomach was at peace. His mind also was at peace, perhaps somewhat too much so. He had finished his Magnum Opus, an analysis of great writers of detective fiction. He had dared to speak scathingly of Edgar Alien Poe, he had complained of the lack of method or order in the romantic outpourings of Wilkie Collins, had lauded to the skies two American authors who were practically unknown, and had in various other ways given honour where honour was due and sternly withheld it where he considered it was not. He had seen the volume through the press, had looked upon the results and, apart from a really incredible number of printer's errors, pronounced that it was good. He had enjoyed this literary achievement and enjoyed the vast amount of reading he had had to do, had enjoyed snorting with disgust as he flung a book across the floor (though always remembering to rise, pick it up and dispose of it tidily in the waste-paper basket) and had enjoyed appreciatively nodding his head on the rare occasions when such approval was justified. And now? He had had a pleasant interlude of relaxation, very necessary after his intellectual labour. But one could not relax for ever, one had to go on to the next thing. Unfortunately he had no idea what the next thing might be. Some further literary accomplishment? He thought not. Do a thing well then leave it alone. That was his maxim.
