The Witches House Viola's Return
II
"These last few meals you've given me were quite tasty anymore coming up soon?" The cat
asked inquisitively.
Viola sat in a leather couch looking into a fireplace, recalling the past few years of evil deeds. Of
killing those to meet her own ends of revenge. Where had her innocence gone? It seems like it
had just gone with the wind, all that remained of her innocence was the hatred toward Ellen to
continue on. She looked into the eerie blue flames licking at the fireplace.
"Well?" The cat asked again.
"In case you haven't noticed cat we haven't seen any new "visitors" in a while."
"That is so."
The cat twirled around in front of Viola, until he suddenly leapt onto her left armrest making a
loud flopping noise. Viola starts to eye the black cat with her new glowing golden eyes knowing
he is about to say something. Expecting for him to say something she turns to the left to look at
the cat but when she turns she is met with nothing but air. Viola just shrugs and snaps her fingers
with her right hand causing a small candle to float towards her and light by itself. She grabs the
candle and rises up from the chair.
"Not even gonna try to find me?" The cat says smirking.
Viola grumbles then squats to be eye to eye with the cat.
"Look I don't know why you're so talkative today cat. But whatever you need to say just say it
so I can just have peace in my head." Viola says.
The cat just looks into her eyes and says.
"You know Viola in all my thousands of years of making deals with mortals like you, you are by
far the most interesting, heh, heh and the most talented with magic maybe even more of a
prodigy than Ellen herself."
Viola turns stiff than roars.
"Never say her name in my house AGAIN!" Viola yelled panting.
"Whoa, whoa there good at magic not a good temper though heh." He says smirking and
laughing deeply. "Now as I was saying I find you quite respectable as well due to your quick
mastery of magic. And in case you haven't noticed your birthday has just past a month ago so I
decided to give you two presents as a…well belated present…if you will." The cat says.
Viola thinks back recalling her old birthdays, her last birthday with her father was quite the
memorable one. He had given her, a small golden pendant from all of his savings hunting deer,
and other various animals in the wilds. She recalled the singing of happy birthday, she smiled
from the nice memory, until she realizes that the beautiful pendant is now in Ellen's possession.
"I'm listening." Viola says.
"Well for your special occasion I was thinking that for the first part, I finally allow you to choose
what to do with a new "guest" now how does that sound?"
"What do you mean choose I've chosen to kill those other imbeciles that came in here not you."
"Oh, no, no, no, Viola that's not the case at all you did not choose to kill them. And you want to
know why Viola?" The cat asked licking his lips and smirking.
"Why?" Viola shrugs.
"Because you want revenge on that Ellen correct?" Viola nods and The Cat continues. "So in
order exact your revenge you appeased me by killing those poor children begging at your feet oh,
boo, hoo." The Cat says sadistically.
Viola looks over to the right of the room remembering the sad crying faces of those children she
had killed and now for once being able to choose for herself to either let the child live or die by
her hand the very thought makes Viola smile an evil smile creeping up to her cheeks. But she
shudders at the fact that she smiled at this. So it only made sense that she was still suspicious of
The Cat so she asked.
"And what's the second part." She asks this rising up from her squatting position.
The Cat just licks himself, purrs than says.
"Oh that's a secret, hee, hee."
"Oh ok so I'm supposed to trust your words?" Viola asks hands on her hips.
"Exactly." The Cat says disappearing into black smoke at her feet. Viola coughs, the smoke
entering her nostrils. Viola just shrugs it off then enters a purple room, the moonlight streaming
through the curtains on her face. Viola closes the door behind her and proceeds to her bed which
sits in the middle of the room. She touches its soft covers, remembering the black void that
encompassed her since she had no eyes. Her throat searing with pain from the "medicine" Ellen
had given her. Her legs cut from the knee blood oozing all over the floor. But she gets back to
reality pushing the memory away instead envisioning the dead corpse of Ellen at her feet,
causing her to create a wide smile. But her thought is broken by a ring of the doorbell.
Who would come here at this time? Viola thinks.
"Well aren't you going to answer it, heh." The Cat says laughing a deep guttural laugh.
Viola rushes out of her room and down the purple carpeted steps to the huge double doors with a
brass gargoyle squatting on top of the door. Viola places her hand on the door knob and opened
it. She looked outside and saw exactly what she had expected. What stood before her was her
first gift…a choice.
"Wow I wasn't expecting this at all, when my friends told me a witch lived here I knew they
were just yanking my chain, well because you're just a regular girl, oh nice dress by the way.
The girl said pointing her finger at Viola's red dress.
"Um, yeah thanks."
"You don't talk much do you? Oh yeah by the way can I come inside its pretty cold out here.
Gosh I hope dad won't be mad." The girl said with a worried expression written on her face.
"Oh, yeah sure come on in."
"Thanks." The girl said smiling.
Viola moved out of her way to let in the new guest. Now if the reader would please pardon my
rude interruption of the story to explain this girl. The girl that stood before Viola was about the
same height as her, wearing a short poofy purple dress with white lining at the bottom and a
small knot in the back to keep it all in place. As for her face she had large innocent light blue
eyes, a small nose, and obviously shaped eyebrows. And as for the rest of her, she had long
straight black hair going down to her waist. (As well as dark red flats on her feet.)
Viola closed the door behind her and turned to her new guest.
"So tell me, um what is your name?" Viola asked.
"Oh well I'm Alesia, nice to meet you." Alesia said happily putting her hand out for Viola to
shake.
Viola awkwardly took her hand and shook it, once they decided to let go of each other's hands
Viola said.
"Oh how rude my apologies, I didn't tell you my name." Viola said putting her hand behind her
head.
"Oh that's no problem at all."
"Allow me to introduce myself, I'm um…" Viola trailed off wondering whether to call herself
Viola or Ellen.
"Well, what's wrong?" Alesia asked worried.
"Oh it's nothing I'm Ellen." Viola lied.
"Oh nice to meet you Ellen, say you have an extra bed around here."
"Why yes, yes I do." Viola said turning her back facing Alesia to ensure she would not see her
wide smile. For once in a whole year she could carve this girl any which way she would ever
want just like Ellen had done to her before.
