True of Blood (Witch Fairy Series) Read Online Free PDF

scratches on her hands and feet making it impossible for her to travel in the woods any longer.  She didn’t dare use her magic to heal herself even this far from her home because the Witan could still use it to track her.
     
    “It was on the fifth day that the princess met a man whose blue eyes and handsome face were full of kindness.  He was a doctor and promised to heal her wounds with science instead of magic.  He brought her to his home and listened to her unbelievable tale and he believed her.  As he cared for her physical wounds, he also helped to heal her emotional ones and they fell deeply in love.  He left his home, his state and his practice and they disappeared into the mountains not leaving any type of trail behind and there he helped raise the princess’s daughter as his own and he loved her more than anything in the world.  And even in death he loves you still.”
     
    Okay, can being a ghost make you go crazy?  Because I’m pretty sure my mom has gone over the edge.  “Mom,” I say slowly, “it’s 2011.  Do you really expect me to believe that you are some kind of Witch princess and that I’m half Witch and half Fairy and nobody else in the world has figured out that magic really exists?”
     
    Mom smiles sadly.  “Many people know that magic really exists but they keep our secret or they are spelled to forget.”
     
    “Okay, Mom, you’re freaking me out here.  You really believe that, don’t you?”  I stand up from the couch to put some distance between us.  What do you do when your ghost mom goes crazy?
     
    “Xandra, you have ghosts for parents.  How is it that you can’t believe that magic is real?”  She floats up from the couch towards me but I back away so she stops in the middle of the room.
     
    “I believe in ghosts because I have to and because I believe that your ghost form is your soul taken out of your body.  I do not believe that people can do magic and make people forget things.”
     
    “I know it’s hard to take in…”
     
    “Does Dad know you believe this?” I ask interrupting her.
     
    “Yes.”
     
    “And he’s okay with it?”  Dad’s always been a pragmatist.  It’s hard to believe that he would believe in Witches and Fairies and magic.
     
    “Your father has done everything in his power to keep you safe from my past and your foretold destiny.”
     
    “My destiny?  You mean to open the gate between this world and the Fairy world?  Mom, that’s just crazy.  Are you sure that being a ghost for so long hasn’t kind of eaten away at your sense of reality?”  I know that sounds cruel and disrespectful, but come on.  She wants me to believe in Fairies!  Not to mention the idea that my real father could turn himself into a horse.  My real father.  The one with black hair and green eyes just like mine.  Dad’s not my real dad.  I sink down onto the thick gray carpet in shock.
     
    “Xandra?” Mom says softly.
     
    I don’t look at her.  I can’t look at her right now.  My whole life has been a lie.  What else don’t I know about my parents and their past?  “Who are you?  Are you really Julienne Smith?”
     
    Mom shakes her head sadly.  “My real name is Quillian Vorel Levex, Daughter of King Sveargith and Queen Athear.  I am of the Witch line and was supposed to rule after my parents but now I am branded malsvir and Faessi, evil and a coward, for betraying my people and bringing into the world the possible destruction of humankind.”
     
    It takes a moment for her words to sink in.  “What?” I squeak.  “Do you mean me?”
     
    She moves her head into a small nod.  “You were never meant to be born but I loved you too much to allow them to kill you.”
     
    Oh, this is too much.  I live in the mountains in the middle of nowhere with the closest person living more than ten miles away yet I’m supposed to bring about the destruction of mankind?  “How, exactly, am I supposed to destroy
