Chapter4=Sisters for life
My eyes fluttered open, only to get blinded by a bright light; I quickly shut them tight and brought my hands to cover my eyes. I sat up using one hand to lift my tired body that was now starving, I smelt some sort of meat being burnt, my stomach turned with hunger and my mouth started to water, I needed to eat so I decided without a first thought to get up and eat whatever it was. I used my hand and pressed down on the soft surface beneath me, I now realised I was in a bed of sponge and covered in a light cloth for a blanket or was it probably for clothing, either one. I looked around curiously, I noticed I was in a small room with walls made of uneven wood that still had a smell that said it was freshly cut, and there was a small window at the top of the short ceiling which was letting the sunlight in right onto my face. The room had little furniture, it had a small one person bed which I was still on, a small round wood table at the side of the bed, a small light brown wooden cupboard, wooden chair next to a shelf of books that had no title and looked super old, I must have been in a cottage, it still smelled like I was in the woods but I wasn't sure.
I flipped my legs over the side of the bed silently and got up while wrapping the cloth around my chest and making a small knot, I must have looked like a poor person in a pillow case and messy hair that had about a thousand tangles. I walked slowly and unsurely, I made little to no sound with my bare feet as I made my way to a small door that was leading to the smell of food that I really wanted to stuff my mouth with. I pushed the small wooden door that had no knob, it opened easily with a creek, and more sunlight hit my face like cold water in the morning except it was rather warm and blinding. My hand instantly came to my face trying not to my eyesight; I made slow steps while moving out of the sun lights reach, I finally got chance to see where I was, it was yet another room of wood, and hand-made furniture, it was bigger than the room I had just left and had a small bonfire in a corner where a piece of dear seemed to be roasting [weird], I looked around more, there were two chairs around a small dark brown table that was nicely cut, more shelves of books, a small somewhat fire place opposite of me, and a bear fur rug, I had to say the place was very peasant like but yet it seemed sophisticated, totally weird.
I heard soft footsteps approach from behind me, I turned around quickly and on guard, only to be met by the grey eyes of the wolf I saved before, now everything came flooding back to me that I almost got a head ache, I remember the fight and soft whimpers of the wolf also the word the vampire hissed at me, I believe it was 'witch'. I was shocked and for a second I thought my heart froze and then got jump started, the wolf eyes no longer belonged to a wolf but a human girl, who in my words was way younger than me. What was a little girl doing in a small cottage in the middle of the forest all by herself, if you exclude me? She looked at most 10 years of age, she was about four feet, had dark long dead straight hair that had a beautiful glossy shine to it, I could barely see her face that I could tell she tried to hide so much, she wore a long black skirt that could more than pass for a thrown away curtain[it probably was], a black tank top that was short which showed her flat, creamy fair skin stomach that was as smooth as you possibly could imagine, it was also tight on her now developing chest, she wore a star pendant with a deep red gem in the middle and her feet were just as lonely as mine were. She had a faint dog like scent with a hint of mint and lavender, it was actually rather pleasant ,yet a kind off disgusting mixture if you thought about it.
She looked up at me curiously while holding her hands together firmly, I could see she was frightened and wasn't sure if she should trust me. I kept searching those innocent grey orbs or probably even silver eyes, looking to find something but I didn't know what, then a light clicked in my head she was a witch, one, she had an amulet, two no family as far as I can see, three, lives away from man-kind and four, she could shape-shift, it was said that witches could shape-shift into an animal when they are strong enough, if this girl turned into a wolf then she must be strong. 'Hopefully she is grateful and wouldn't try to eat me' a disturbing thought burst into my head but I shook those thought away, she seemed to innocent and afraid, I doubt she meant any harm.
"Hi" I said unsure of what to say. She looked taken aback and confused for some reason.
"hhh..iii" she stuttered and I swore she had shrunk back, making herself smaller than she was.
"Hey don't be shy, I'm not gonna hurt ya" I said with a calm, soothing voice and I fell to my knees so I could look up into those wondrous eyes. She looked back at me and searched my eyes, looking for something, after a few seconds she relaxed a little. I put my hands by her arms and gently squeezed them. "Are you the wolf I saved?" I asked although I basically knew the answer.
"Yy..ee..sss" she stuttered once again. I let out a little giggle, I just couldn't keep it in, she was so cute and adorable. She looked a little hurt and confused.
"oh I'm sorry, your just too cute" I said honestly. I suddenly changed the topic, "you are a witch aren't you" I pointed out while getting up of the ground while taking another look around the room, she must live here alone, there are no other signs of human life, "do you live here alone?" I asked with a hint of curiosity.
"yeah why,….. are you not a witch too?" she asked almost unsure and still in thought.
"Yes, yes I am, didn't you figure?" I replied to her question, while I walked over to a window on the far side of the semi-circular shaped room. "why don't you have a family?" I asked curiously.
"My mom and dad didn't want me after I accidentally threw my sister across the room, they were planning to give me to an orphanage, that's when I ran away, and I found here" she said while holding her head down, looking rather sad, 'I mean I would be sad to if the ones I trusted wanted to throw me away, oh wait the ones I trusted did throw me away, how can I forget.' Said the annoying, little voice in my head. I walked over to where she was and gently lifted her chin, making her look into my dark brown orbs of mystery 'well that's how James described my eyes'.
"Hey if they didn't want you then they didn't deserve you" I said trying to make her feel better, 'I don't think I did'.
"Why do I trust you?" she questioned me seriously and started to eye me down harshly, she was rather intimidating for a little girl; I mean I was more afraid of her than my father. "Why am I open with you, what spell are you using on me?" she said raising her voice and taking steps towards me while I moved further and further away from the pissed off kid, soon she started to point her finger at me which showed how long and dirty it was, 'exactly like mine.'
"Wow hold up!" I said probably a little too harshly, which made her a step away and shrink back. 'Sheesh, one minute she's all high and mighty and the next she's a scared kid, she is so hard to comprehend" I thought to myself. "One I don't know what the hell you are talking about, two I thought you were just naturally open, three I don't know spells…..so relax kiddo" I explained and walked over to a chair and sat to take in what was all happening to me.
"NO, you're lying, how did you summon and control fire?" she said frustrated and confused.
"I don't know, I just think and focus a lot and it comes to me just like all the other elements except fire is my strongest" I explained with honesty written all over my face.
"HUH! You must be one of those strong witches by blood, who are born with the ability to control all elements, I've read about your kind, you are very, no extremely rare" she said excited and wary at the same time.
"Eh" was all that came out my mouth.
"You know super powerful witches of history?" she asked while looking at me as if I was stupid, which I was if we were talking about witch history.
"Sorry but I know nothing about witches" I stated a fact.
"Really…..well how bout we help each other ?"
"What do you mean?"
