Okay so I hope this works! (This site totally confuses me!)
And I got three reviews! so awesome. Now I feel kind of bad for not checking up on this story. But here comes the second chapter (hopefully I do this right)
Chapter 2Kingsbury had a really beautiful market. If you are looking for those delicious little fruit you will find them as well as the most brilliant jewellery in all of Ingary and the lands beyond. So naturally the Witch thought this would be a good place to start her mission. First of all she needed to find out what day it was and then she needed to find some kind of disguise. The Witch does not know much about the guidelines to travel in time but she was pretty sure, that she did not want to get herself in more trouble than she was already in.
"Darling, do you not think you should actually do something?" Lily drawled while keeping an eye an the bustling streets. "But Lily, how am I supposed to chose? Look at all these magnificent clothes!"
The vendor who kept looking at her suspiciously dared to point out some material he thought the disshelved woman could actually afford. The poor man was wondering why those strange people always came to him. That woman looked like she was dragged through dirt and then left to on the streets to die. Not that his assumption was far from the truth but it never even occured to the Witch that she looked anything less than spectacular, in the positive sense that is.
Therefore her response to his impudence was quite explosive. "Now listen here, young man!" Of course the vendor had 40 years of selling fabrics under his belt and would normally not be described as young, but a Witch that has all the magic in the world at her beg and call surley has not to worry about wrinkles and therefore had a little skewed perception of age than your average human beeing.
"If you ever want to sell ANYTHING in your life ever again!" She made sure to take a dramatic little pause, "You will treat me with the respect a woman of my caliber is due. Do you understand?" She fixed him with a much practised look and waited until her opponent nodded his head. And although the Witches 'look' is not very intimidating the way the demon eyed the man who delayed her fun was very much reason to start playing along. Because those eyes looked like they would suck out your soul. So with a shudder and a very forced smile the man pointed the looney lady to the more expensive section of his stall.
The Witch gave him a smile and continued to browse around. "Oh look, Lily! Is this not the most prettiest thing you have ever seen?" She held a scarf that gave a pretty good impression of liquid gold. "I simply must have this." she wraped the scarf around her shoulders. "Oh! And look!" enthralled she plucked a red something out of the pile. "It has no sleaves..." it was said as a statement but lily's eyebrow worked well as a question mark. "Yes well, but it will look simply fabulous." with a sigh the demon motioned for her to go on.
But aparrently this was the only thing the woman wanted from this stall and after a short declaration of :"I'm done." she moved back into the crowed.
"But you need to pay!" excaimed the vendor and tried to grab onto the golden scarf, unfortunetly for him Lily grabed his wrist before he could do anything else. "I would not do that if I were you." She gave him a smile that was all teeth and started to fallow her Witch with a satisfied air about her.
That evening the verndor went to the local bar, that duo of wickedness had cost him a small fortune. Those were his best wares they took away, and hard to come by, too! He had them from a desert country his brother-in-law went to a while ago. It's not like he could just go there and get more.
"Oh no! They got you, too!" was the first thing Ben exclaimed when he reached his usual corner. After seeing his stunned face Ben placed his hand on his shoulder. "The Duo of Doom! They were on the market today! And they robbed us blind!" He new he was exaggerating, because those two could not have taken everything... just maybe a lot more than was good for a flurishing market.
"I swear! I send my boy after them but it was like they vanished!"
"Maybe so, but have you seen that bloody wench? She would have eaten the lad alive and then we would be in deep shit!"
"What do you mean "We"? You would'ave ta go to Sunny and tell'her how ya lost her son!"
"She took my most valuables!"
"What? You ain't a man anymore! I would not want to explain that to ya lady friend!"
"I can't believe nobody caught them! She was sparkling like the crown jewels by noon! An' we all went ta get the off'cers on her ass."
At the same time the Witch and her best friend/ soul sucking demon were seated at a nice little café and discussing the plan for the days to come. "We really are lucky! We went back 8 days! That should give us enough time to figure out what happend. I mean someone must have done something to get me in trouble! As far as I know I have not been in the Capital this month... I mean you know before!" she stressed the words to make Lily understand that before meant her time in freedom and not as a fugitive on a trip through time. But soon enough she was distraced by the sparkling of her new bracelet, and then the feel of her very nice dress. She must look simply great! She concluded and ordert another cake to celebrate her freedom. Tomorrow she would find out where she went wrong. Tonight she will have a nice, restful sleep. Somehow she could not get the heavy feeling off of her, and hungry was she, too. All the time! It was quite frustrating to be so beautiful and powerful... at least sometimes. She let her gaze wander out the window and grinned. At least she had it better than those fools. Always trying to reach something they will never get. Maybe she should help them a little bit. Make them see what they should know all along, so they would know their place. "Lily, how would I best word a curse..." She trailed of trying to find the words to describe her wish best, but Lily was already sitting eager in her chair. "A curse, dear? What a marvellous idea!" The Witch hummed and twirled her fingers a bit. "Yes well. Look at all these fools, they really should be more gratefull for their existence do you not think?" Lily nodded.
"Yes, they should. Just think about it, they are never happy with what they have but they never consider that tomorrow they may have nothing at all anymore."
The witch agreed and then she spottet the sign of the bakery. "Like the bread they are not thankful for, right?" She got up and left the café to get closer to the bakery. With high concentration she fixed her eyes on the swinging wooden sign above the door and started to mutter under her breath. Every few seconds she would swish her hand this way and that.
A minute later the sign hat squiggly little burn marks and the Witch turned on her heel and left. That was really enough for a day. Tomorrow the people of the town would know what they have in life.
Content with her good deed the witch went to find a hotel for the night.
Thanks for reading!
