The Witch's House Viola's Return
I
Viola had disappeared into purple smoke along with the black cat feeling nothing, accepting her
fate, to be eaten by the black cat. As the past few hours' worth of memories went by her in a
flash she closed her empty eye sockets dry blood encrusting her cheeks. She decided to open her
eyes even though she knew that darkness would be the only thing she could possibly ever meet.
But this time the beautiful rays of sunlight stung her eyes and she lay spread eagled on grass
surrounded by a marvelous patch of golden flowers. Viola turned her head looking around her,
behind her were great oak trees along with her left and right sides of her.
What's the use in even trying to stand? Viola wondered.
But even so she tried, expecting nothing but an ugly flopping sound followed by a pool of blood
emittingfrom the bottom of her new red dress. But instead she stood to her amazement, she
widened her eyes and smiled with joy, even though this wasn't her true body but that witch
Ellen's. She gritted her teeth at the thought of that foul excuse for a human.
"Well you look good now considering what happened earlier, heh, heh." A voice says from
behind her.
Viola swiftly turned around to face the speaker from behind expecting a man, but instead a small
black cat licking its fur intently.
"You." Viola said angrily approaching her adversary.
"Now, now. Don't be too hasty after all I did save your life." The cat says in a soothing voice.
"All you did was help Ellen take my life from me!" Viola yells, looming over the cat.
"Oh what? Not too grateful are we?" The cat says.
"Why should I be?" Viola asks folding her arms.
"Need I remind you again? I saved your life I could have been dining on you right now but
instead I saved you isn't that a good thing?" The cat asks.
Viola unfolds her arms and looks at her red dress and her new purple hair.
"Yes but in this Witch's putrid body." Viola said angrily.
"Oh it's not that bad after all I took the liberty of curing Ellen's disease so that's no problem."
The cat says.
Viola pondered on the cats words the cool summer breeze blowing through her hair.
"I'm going to go see father." Viola said.
The cat's expression went grave knowing this isn't what he saved her life for. So the cat thought
quickly and said.
"Whoa there Viola. Think this through before you go get yourself killed." The cat said quickly.
"What's there to think about!? My dad is at home with some witch that will do who knows
what!" Viola yelled.
"Listen, Viola you can't go back." The cat said.
"Oh yeah and whys that?" Viola said putting her hands on her hips.
"Well in case you haven't noticed you don't exactly look like you anymore, you see where I'm
heading with this?" The cat said.
Viola's hopeful intentions had been shattered for she knew that if her father were to see her, it
would mean her death, which would do no one any good. Well maybe this cat has an idea for my
predicament.
"What do you have in mind then?" Viola asked.
The cat made a wide malicious smile and licked his lips.
"Well how about a deal?"
"I'm listening." Viola said.
"Well, if you were to say, oh I don't know…let me eat more people than I'll help you with
whatever you need helping with by granting you magic." The cat says.
"No! Never I will never become like Ellen I can't do this I can't just kill people for magic it's
just not right." Viola says sternly.
"Ok well I was going to help you well oh I don't know, help you exact revenge on Ellen." The
cat says twirling around in a circle smiling wider than ever before.
The news hits Viola the same way the bullets pierced through her skull when her father had shot
her. Revenge, the word bounced around her head, she imagined ringing the throat of Ellen
watching the life seep out of her eyes and into nothingness. Viola pondered longer on the
thought, as the cat stared at her knowing that she would now say yes to his "generous" offer.
"Fine I'll do it." Viola says.
"Perfect, well Ellen's house is now yours enjoy and by the way I'm starving so hopefully you
can get me some dinner soon." The cat said licking his lips.
Viola just nods, knowing that her heart's desire shall be realized, Ellen…would die.
