Tears streamed down my face as I ran. My family, my life, everything is gone now. I can't face Father or Kid knowing I am one of the things they hunt. I was suddenly glad of the rain. At least no one would notice my tears. Slowing down I remember all of the times Kid and I would play tag when we were younger. We had always known I was adopted but that never mattered. We were the closest of friends and now that was ruined. I swallowed and kept running I soon found myself in a park. Slumping to the ground, a pair of eyes bore into me. A hand is soon placed on my shoulder. Too tired to run I look up to the owner of the hand. A woman with blonde spiky hair and yellow eyes stares down at me. "Hello Aeris," She says slyly.
"H-how do you know my name?" I ask panicky.
"Well I remember when you were just a little one. You were actually quite small to be born to your mother." The woman gives me a gentle smile.
"W-who are you?"
"Medusa, your godmother," she states matter-of-factly. "Come now, you'll get a cold." As she starts off I stare for a moment. After pondering my options I follow her. Medusa leads me to a house in which she allows me to sleep in for the night.

In the morning Medusa explains who my mother was. "Also I was hoping you'd allow me to become your family. I would also like to teach you magic."
"What was my mother's theme?" I question without leading the idea of magic on.
"The same as mine, snakes," She smiles proudly.
"I would love to become a witch just like my mother," I smile.
