thank you all and I hope this chapter is good. I was iffy on their meeting but it had to happen so this is what im going with for now. enjoy:)


Ben could hear the amusement dripping from her statement and the chuckle that followed. He swallowed and took a deep breath.

"How did you know?" He asked, feeling kind of uneasy.

"You've brought my favorite kind of apple." She said, ignoring his question as she lifted the apple her face to smell it.

Ben watched her smile at it fondly before she stored it in her robe and dropped from the branch. She brought her arms up and took off her hood. He noticed that she had dark hair that looked almost blood red in the moonlight, her right eye was slightly cover by her hair but her straight locks couldn't hid the whole half of her face. it seemed darker, like it was burnt. He didn't want to piss her off, so he didn't ask about her face.

"Her name is rumored to be something like Myrtle." He told her, trying to sound more serious and less nervous.

"What is her crime?" Azazel asked, now just as serious as he was. She lifted her face to look down on him like he was lower than she. Azazel may have been a every-man-for-himself-type of woman, but she was still a witch and didn't like the stereotype that came with the term.

"The stealing of cattle and just recently a young girl. I was lucky enough to find her in time and save her but the damn thing got away from me."

"Did she now?" The mockingly amused tone now returned to her words." My heart aches for the poor lass."

"Will you help me?" He asked.

" My dear boy, the question is not my willingness to help, but your ability to afford my services."

He walked to his pack and pulled out a coin purse with at least 300 gold in it.

"300 now and 300 later." He said with as much confidence as he could muster.

She slowly started to circle him, looking him up, down, and all around till she stopped in front of him. she held out her hand and he placed the purse in her palm.

"Your apple made me curious." She said, a smiling slowly forming on her lips." But a witch hunter, here to ask for help in his hunt. You now have my attention."

She turned and started to walk.

"So it's a deal?" He called after her, grabbing his pack.

She sighed and stopped.

"No." She called over her shoulder." I just accepted your payment and made up all that talk about your problem possibly being the funniest situation I'V ever heard of."

"So that's a..."He started, but she cut him off.

"Yes, yes." She said, growing impatient and turned to him with an eerie gleam in her eyes. " Now, show me her house."
