Witchy Woman

Alexandria Aniello stood outside of her new house on Crowhaven Road. She looked at the formidable building in front of her. Her adoptive parents had moved in a few days ago, but Lexi had to stay behind to tie up loose ends. She sighed forlornly and trudged up the walk to what was now her house.

"Lexi!" Her mom exclaimed as Mrs. Aniello saw her daughter come into the foyer. "Do you like it?"

"It's really nice, Mom," Lexi told he mother as she looked around her.

"Your room's upstairs, Lex," Mr. Aniello entered the foyer. "Most of your stuff is already in there."

"Thanks," Lexi went upstairs to her new bedroom. Boxes littered the mahogany floor. She made her way around the maze to the window. As she reached for the curtain, silver sparks flew from her fingertips. She withdrew her hand and examined her crimson fingernails. She shook he head wonderingly as she remembered the voices she had heard earlier in her car.

Raven Hair, Ruby Lips

Sparks Fly From Her Fingertips

Echoed Voices in the night

She's a restless spirit on an endless flight

OHHHHHHHHHHHH

Witchy Woman

See how high she flies

OHHHHHHHHHHHH

Witchy Woman

She's got the moon in her eyes.

After unpacking for a little while, Lexi fell dead asleep. Although her sleep came quickly, it way by no means peaceful. She thrashed all night trying to find a comfortable spot in the bed. At 1:30 A.M., Lexi heard inane laughter that filled the house.

Startled, she sat up in bed and looked around. Deeming herself crazy, she lay back own in bed.

"Alexandria," coaxed a voice from the shadows. "Alexandria," echoed another voice.

Lexi's hands flew to her ears, willing the voices to stop. They reminded her all too vividly of those nights at her former residence.

Voices had called out to her then, too. Shadows would materialize into bodies. Shapes of people who were her own age. Twelve of them: five boys and seven girls. They would come to he every night and it would be like living another life for Lexi. At night it all seemed so normal when the shadows would come out and to tell her stories, but in the day, it seemed impossible. Lexi had wondered if she should tell her parents about the shadows, but she was too afraid that they would think that she was crazy.

She held me spellbound in the night

Dancing shadows and firelight

Crazy laughter in another room

And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Witchy woman

See how high she flies

OHHHHHHHHHHHH

Witchy woman

She's got the moon in her eyes

Even thought Lexi never told anyone about the shadows, everyone seemed to think she was crazy. Either that or a witch.

As she would walk down the hallways of her old school, the other kids would take a step away from her or even cross themselves. Even worse than those who were afraid of her were those who tried to help her.

One day Lexi had lashed out at a girl who tried to help her. She had pushed her against the wall and yelled at her. Rumors flew after that about how she was the Devil's girlfriend andthat she was so evil that she would end up overthrowing him.

Disgusted at her memories of her old school, Lexi grabbed her portable CD player and fell asleep listening to "One Step Closer" by Linkin Park.

I know you want a lover

But let me tell you, Brother

She's been sleeping in the Devil's Bed

And there's some rumors going round

Someone's under ground

And she can lock you in the night

Until your skin turns red

OHHHHHHHHHHH

Witchy Woman

See how high she flies

OHHHHHHHHHH

Witchy Woman

She's got the moon in her eyes
