THE PRICE | EL PRECIO

img_0.414363009667278.jpg Source

Amongst the 3 sisters she was the most powerful. She had accompanied her father on several occasions for trainings at the magic world. This she also gained from but she was clouded by greed.
Like every other person in high school who had a crush, Eliana wasn't exempted. Although the person she liked, liked another. This broke her so much that she would cry most times.
She tried every way possible known to her to get his attention but they didn't seem to work, hence she decided to use her magic on him to make him fall in love with her.
Getting home, she set her candles, drew her circles with salt while reading from her magic book. Arriving school the next day, she met him at the school gate.
Casting a smile at him, hi Johnson wait up and for the first time ever, he willingly smiled back at her and reached out to hug her.

Entre las tres hermanas era la m谩s poderosa. Hab铆a acompa帽ado a su padre en varias ocasiones para entrenar en el mundo m谩gico. De esto tambi茅n sali贸 ganando, pero estaba nublada por la codicia.
Como cualquier otra persona en la escuela secundaria que ten铆a un enamoramiento, Eliana no estaba exenta. Aunque la persona que le gustaba, le gustaba otra. Esto la romp铆a tanto que la mayor铆a de las veces lloraba.
Intent贸 todas las formas posibles que conoc铆a para llamar su atenci贸n, pero no parec铆an funcionar, por lo que decidi贸 usar su magia en 茅l para que se enamorara de ella.
Al llegar a casa, puso sus velas, dibuj贸 sus c铆rculos con sal mientras le铆a su libro de magia. Al llegar a la escuela al d铆a siguiente, se encontr贸 con 茅l en la puerta del colegio.
Le sonri贸 y, por primera vez, 茅l le devolvi贸 la sonrisa y la abraz贸.

How was your weekend, he asked?
It was the first time Johnson ever showed concern towards her or attempted having a conversation with her. Her magic was definitely effective as the rest of the day had Jackson casting quick glances at her in class. He met her later in the day and professed his undying love to her. She kept smiling sleepishly till she got home.
Her mum seeing the smiles on her got curious. She knew she would only speak to her dad, so she decided to tell him about it and he asked her over dinner. Well, Eliana didn't hesitate to speak up.
"I'm in love, dad" she responded. I've been trying to get him to notice me and it failed but.....
"But what?", her father asked.
"I had to use my powers to get him to see me", she responded
"WHAT" everyone on the table echoed
Why would you do such a thing, Eliana, her mother asked. Every magic carried out for personal purpose usually has a repacaution. You do not use magic to make a man work against his heart. I am so disappointed in you.
Eliana sat there in tears as every other person left the table leaving her with dad.

***驴Qu茅 tal el fin de semana, le pregunt贸?
Era la primera vez que Johnson mostraba preocupaci贸n hacia ella o intentaba mantener una conversaci贸n con ella. Su magia fue definitivamente efectiva, ya que el resto del d铆a Jackson le lanz贸 r谩pidas miradas en clase. M谩s tarde se reuni贸 con ella y le profes贸 su amor eterno. Ella sigui贸 sonriendo con sue帽o hasta que lleg贸 a casa.
Su madre, al ver sus sonrisas, sinti贸 curiosidad. Sab铆a que s贸lo hablar铆a con su padre, as铆 que decidi贸 cont谩rselo y le pregunt贸 durante la cena. Eliana no dud贸 en hablar.
"Estoy enamorada, pap谩", respondi贸. He intentado que se fije en m铆 y no lo he conseguido pero.....
"驴Pero qu茅?", pregunt贸 su padre.
"He tenido que usar mis poderes para que me vea", respondi贸 ella
"驴Qu茅?", se hicieron eco todos los presentes en la mesa.
驴Por qu茅 has hecho algo as铆, Eliana? pregunt贸 su madre. Toda magia realizada con fines personales suele tener una repercusi贸n. No se utiliza la magia para hacer que un hombre trabaje en contra de su coraz贸n. Estoy muy decepcionada de ti.
Eliana se sent贸 llorando mientras todas las dem谩s personas abandonaban la mesa dej谩ndola con pap谩.

Her father had to speak with her. He tried comforting and talking to her. He made her understand the truth in what her mother just said. We do not use magic to attract love, it is not allowed and it's expensive it may cost you the most precious and important of things in life which may even be a life.
Eliana was so frightened as she cried and hugged her father.
It's been 2 weeks and she locked herself indoors refusing to go to school or speak to anyone. She also refused to speak with Johnson who dropped by to see her every single day. He was gradually becoming mentally deranged as the magic kept torturing him as he couldn't see the "love of his life" as he claimed. Meanwhile, Eliana tried out several ways to reverse the spell which failed continuously while Johnson's condition kept getting worse. He was admitted into a psychiatric hospital. Every visit to the hospital kept getting reports of how worse his condition was becoming by the doctor. Eliana knew this was all her fault and she needed a way to salvage the situation. Her father stepped in to help her but the process required that she gave up her powers to save Johnson. This was really a painful decision as she kept tearing all day, the price was enormous, it was heavy, she lost everything all because she wanted to be loved, her happiness, her life, her pride had been taken but what has to be done had to done.

Su padre tuvo que hablar con ella. Intent贸 consolarla y hablar con ella. Le hizo entender la verdad de lo que su madre acababa de decir. No usamos la magia para atraer el amor, no est谩 permitido y es caro, puede costar lo m谩s preciado e importante de la vida, que puede ser incluso una vida.
Eliana estaba muy asustada mientras lloraba y abrazaba a su padre.
Han pasado 2 semanas y se ha encerrado en casa neg谩ndose a ir a la escuela o a hablar con nadie. Tambi茅n se negaba a hablar con Johnson, que pasaba a verla todos los d铆as. Poco a poco se fue convirtiendo en un trastornado mental, ya que la magia le segu铆a torturando al no poder ver al "amor de su vida", como dec铆a. Mientras tanto, Eliana prob贸 varias formas de revertir el hechizo, que fracasaron continuamente, mientras el estado de Johnson segu铆a empeorando. Fue ingresado en un hospital psiqui谩trico. En cada visita al hospital, el m茅dico segu铆a informando del empeoramiento de su estado. Eliana sab铆a que todo esto era culpa suya y necesitaba una forma de salvar la situaci贸n. Su padre intervino para ayudarla, pero el proceso requer铆a que ella renunciara a sus poderes para salvar a Johnson. Esta fue una decisi贸n realmente dolorosa ya que no par贸 de llorar durante todo el d铆a, el precio era enorme, era pesado, lo perdi贸 todo porque quer铆a ser amada, su felicidad, su vida, su orgullo hab铆an sido arrebatados pero hab铆a que hacer lo que hab铆a que hacer.

There is a question that is often asked, "What price happiness?" In this case the price was too high. Fortunately, Eliana's family was wise and they persuaded her to be honorable. She reversed her bad decision at great cost.
