Beatrix had her hands up and was watching by the reflection of the ice that was floating in the water, then in a moment that the girl is distracted, she turns with everything and takes the hand that she held the dagger and disarms the girl, Beatrix held so strong her fist that the girl ends up releasing the dagger and falling to the ground.

- Better leave me alone little girl! Don't try to steal anything from me!

Says Beatrix.

- Ouch! Ouch! You are very strong! Please don't kill me! I was just protecting myself from invaders!

Says the girl until Beatrix releases the girl's fist.

In this Beatrix releases her fist, the girl comes back to pick up the dagger and puts on the waist, but at the same time takes a grave and begins to aim high while Beatrix walked towards the stream again, but looking at the reflection she notices that it had a glow and turns to pick up the magic wand that had on her waist, the girl uses a spell that makes some tree roots start to move and in this Beatrix goes astray, at the same time that is attacked by plants.

- (What the fuck! This girl is a witch! I don't want to kill a witch... Not even a person, I have to fix it! Or I'll be the one killed, it hasn't been an hour since I ran away from the village and there are already people wanting to kill me!)

- Hey! I don't want a fight! I don't want to hurt you! I'm a witch too!

Says Beatrix using a spell.

Beatrix began to use a spell to destroy the roots and branches that were directed to the tallest of green hair, the lowest continued to cast more and more spells trying as much as possible to defend itself, so much so that some hit Beatrix and made small cuts in it.

- Stop it! Please! I am a good person! I am running away from a village! I came in peace! I just want to be able to survive!

Says Beatrix as she continued to dodge from the spells.

The girl kept sending more and more roots, in this Beatrix takes a knife from her bag and uses a spell that puts magic to wrap it so the girl with taller green hair could cut the branches and roots more accurately and thus avoid being attacked, but the girl with lower green hair still cast more and more spells, this time stopping with the roots, which already left Beatrix's arms full of cuts.

- You really don't give up on capturing me, do you? I only give myself up to a stranger over my dead body! I won't let them do what they did to my parents and my whole village 2 years ago.

Says the girl still angry.

- Wait! I don't want to attack her! Look! If you want I surrender! Please don't kill me!

Says Beatrix with her hands up.

- (Shit, that's a pretty dumb move! She's gonna kill me... But it's the only way; if she keeps this up she might get too much attention with her magical powers and the two of us who are going to be captured by someone else).

The girl uses a spell that makes a punctuated root go to Beatrix and for an inch that does not reach the heart of the tallest, which makes her open her eyes, noticing that she was barely hit, the lowest goes to her, taking her bag and giving a search, until she finds something familiar, a book.

- Did you by any chance steal my hiding place?

Says the angry girl and showing the book.

- This book is mine! It was given by my mother! I didn't even steal anything from you!

Says Beatrix terrified as Woodward used another spell, this time roots that held the arms and legs of the tallest.

- I'll go to my hiding place, I'll see if you're telling the truth, if by chance you're lying, I'm sorry, but I have no pity for thieves.

Says the girl coming out of there.

-(Shit! 2 hours I leave my village and I think I'm finally free for a little girl to trap me with root spells, but what stronger spells, I really can't get loose of this thing... I really hope she has another book like that and that it's not really a stolen book).

Beatrix even tried to escape, but the branches were very well attached to the point of not letting her move even one muscle, to the point that they tightened her wrists and hurt, while the girl returned with two books in her hand and uses a spell to release the tallest.

- You are telling the truth, I will let you live, but why are you here? What are you doing here? Who are you?

Says the girl.

- My name is Beatrix, I don't know if I'm happy or angry with you almost killed me, what the fuck, I was running from a village and I didn't want attention, my mother gave me this book so that I could find a witch, you must be that witch.

Says Beatrix as she passed her hand on the sore fists.

- My name is Woodward, my mother said the same thing two years ago, that I should run away and go after someone who can read, but since then I have died of fear of the world... I was almost captured more than 10 times by slave traders, by thieves and people from other villages, since then I live in a hideout near here.

Says Woodward returning the book to Beatrix.

- Unfortunately I'm not that witch, you shouldn't be either, but hey, what do you say we both get together to go after a witch who can read, after that when we know what you have in that book, each one goes her own way.

Says Beatrix.

- How can I trust a stranger who was fighting me?

Says Woodward suspicious.

- I was not fighting with you, I was simply following my path, washing a hare that I hunted and out of nowhere you came threatening me all I did was defend myself.

Says Beatrix as she kept her things in her purse.

- Excuse me? But how could I know I wasn't an invader? How could I know you're not a bad person? This world is full of people like that.

Says Woodward.

- But I'm not a bad person, look... You can be sure that if you found me and I found you, it's because we have a goal in common, look, we can split the hare I caught and make a soup.

Says Beatrix after finishing storing things in her bag and going to pick up the dead hare.

- Okay, I'll let you go to my hiding place and spend the night there; I agree to join you in this mission.

Says Woodward snorting while Beatrix went to the creek and washed the hare's body.

After this conversation Woodward waits for Beatrix to finish washing the hare, so much so that he is very attentive watching the surroundings so that it is not attacked, after the tallest one finishes washing the body completely and throwing out the entrails, as well as peeling the animal, they go to the hiding place, where it was in a cave, which soon the lowest one uses a spell to illuminate the place.

- A cave, a clever hiding place for yours, but be careful, lepers and sick people usually live in caves.

Says Beatrix.

- This cave has no humans, I am the first person to live here, now follow me and the hiding place is not here yet.

Says Woodward walking the corridors of the cave.

Beatrix continues following Woodward along the way and the corridor narrowed a lot to the point that the tallest one was very difficult to pass through due to the large breasts she had in relation to the lowest one, besides the height too much, after almost jamming the hips the two arrive at the hiding place, which is soon illuminated by a lamp, Beatrix is impressed, the place had a cave where apparently the water seemed to be very hot due to the steam coming out of it, as well as a space where Woodward's things were, also had several risks of the lowest that counted every day that passed there, were more precisely 749 risks.

- Not bad for a witch who lived alone for 2 years.

Says Beatrix in a tone of debauchery.

- Since I ran away and found this place, I never wanted to leave here again, it will be 750 days that I am installed in this beautiful cave, I don't need anything else, there is hot water, the food I can arrange going outside and nobody would ever find this place.

Says Woodward as she passed her hand through the walls of the cave.

- I would think, one way or another, this book of yours is not the only one, for the little I saw in the dots in the book circle, I could see at least five others, yours was probably one of them, each dots is a book in a part of the world, every time we walk, the dots move, at least that's what I understood.

Says Beatrix while preparing the hare.

- But what is so interesting about these books and why our mothers wanted us to take them to someone who can read?

Says Woodward curious.

- Probably she has the knowledge to make spells more advanced than ours, my mother knows a lot of magic that I do not know and all she learned was in the book she had given me.

Says Beatrix.

Woodward is just amazed at what Beatrix is saying about the book and magic, they were things that even the lowest did not know, just as little by little the youngest was loosening up about how she ended up there, saying that the village was attacked by an enemy village, that the leader was called Finnbar, this leaves the highest in shock to the point of taking a deeper breath.

- Woodward... This Finnbar is my asshole father... I'm sorry... I didn't want to have a father like him... I know why he attacked your village.

Says Beatrix while the water was bubbling from the soup.

- What? Are you the daughter of the person responsible for this?

Says Woodward getting angry.

- Hey! Take it easy! Do you really think I like being his daughter? Why do you think I ran away from the village?

Says Beatrix turning to Woodward.

- Okay, okay, sorry!

Says Woodward.

- He suspected that my mother had betrayed him with one of the people in his village when she was pregnant with me, which is not true, my mother and he are together for 17 years, I am 15.

Says Beatrix.

- What a son of a bitch! And what made you run away from that village?

Says Woodward indignant and curious.

Beatrix then takes another deep breath and tells about the years she spent living in that village, how she was more shy than the other people, that she hated the rituals that involved nudity, until she even tells the reason why she ran away that it was because of the marriage arranged with Floyd, which the highest account that had a whole plan of escape, which involved making the younger sister get married in place, in disguise, while running through the forests, which again leaves Woodward stunned.

- You are very shy even, I see no problem in showing the body, we are all the same, you are also a girl and the only difference is that the boys do not have big breasts and have something between their legs, but I have to say, you were brave to run away from your village.

Says Woodward with all the innocence in the world.

- Thanks, but I almost died right away when I was going to do 2 hours that I was running away and ...

Says Beatrix until Woodward interrupts her.

- It will stay all the time talking about...

Says Woodward until she gets apprehensive and even puts her hand over Beatrix's mouth.

What Woodward heard were trotting from afar, which were even closer, in this the lowest one uses a spell in the entrance that joins the two entrance stones closing the passage, in this Beatrix is worried and even whispers "And the air?", in this Woodward whispers that there are still a lot of air entrances through the cave and they would not die suffocated, the lowest one goes to the cave and uses a spell to observe the outside.

- Damn, it's Floyd...

Whispers Beatrix getting in despair.

- So this is the asshole you would marry? He's quite handsome and manly even.

Whispers Woodward.

- Disgusting, I can't feel the slightest attraction to men.

Whispers Beatrix.

While outside Floyd continued to walk around as he received information that apparently a green-haired girl was around, as well as other thieves around the area heard about two women fighting, looking like witches for what they told him.

- My lord, all we found here was a cave and nothing much.

Says one of Floyd's men.

- A cave is? It can only be in this place that the damned has hidden, we have only a few minutes until the sun sets again, we will camp here, I have the impression that Beatrix is in the Cave.

Says Floyd getting off his horse.

Meanwhile, from Woodward's hiding place the two girls could not only watch, but also hear what they were talking about, since the lower one knew of a spell that worked as a kind of magic earphone of the 7th century.

- Shit!

Both whisper.

- And now Wood? How do we get food? This hare can only give us food for at least this one and the next day.

Whispers Beatrix crying.

- Calm down... Swimming a little more in this cave has fish, many come here from the creek because of the warmer water, we will not die of hunger, this Floyd can't stay long camping, outside is full of dangers and we can scare them at night, my magic works from here in the cave, I can make the trees move.

Whispers Woodward with a malicious smile.

- Sorry to get you into this Wood, I barely know you and I'm already fucking with your li...

Whispers Beatrix until Woodward puts her finger over her mouth.

- Hey! I'm used to getting unwanted visitors, many go camping here and I always scare them, never doubt the power of nature.

Whispers Woodward.

- Thank you.

She whispers Beatrix while Woodward strokes the tallest hair.

- I know you so little, but I feel a good regard for you that I have never felt before.

Whispers Woodward smiling to Beatrix.

Meanwhile on the outside, Floyd's men left the camp ready, the boy takes a torch and goes with 2 more men to the cave, as they light the place they notice that Beatrix was not there, just as it was much smaller than he thought.

- What the fuck! She's not here!

Says Floyd.

- You will see some of these parts must have a false bottom my lord.

Says one of Floyd's men.

- After all she is a witch, but if she closes this cave she may run out of air.

Says Floyd as he was hitting the walls of the cave trying to find a hollower part.

Meanwhile in the cave, Beatrix was beginning to be in shock and faced Woodward with despair as she showed all the tranquility in the world.

- They are in here.

Whispers Beatrix.

- Wonderful, they are in here.

She whispers Woodward with a perverted smile, until she snaps her fingers.

As Woodward snaps her fingers, several trees and branches cover the entrance to the cave while Floyd and his men were distracted, the few of them notice that it was even darker in the cave and look back, facing the whole entrance blocked.

- My Lord! The cave!

Says one of Floyd's men.

- Quickly cut those trees down! We'll run out of air if we don't cut everything down!

Says Floyd taking his sword until one of the men hits the torch and darkens everything.

Floyd without any fear takes his sword and kills that same man, while he sees nothing, in which he hits with his sword.

- Incompetent! Because of you we will all stay in the dark!

Says Floyd furious with the sword.

In this that Floyd draws his sword, Woodward uses a spell of illusion that makes a demon leave the dead man's body, besides giving an illumination to the witch even changes her tone of voice making her voice leave only the demon and in a frightening way.

- You have entered a forbidden kingdom, you have just killed your friend and you will pay for the rest of your life in hell! I will take you with me!

Says the devil.

- Huh! You think you'll scare me is Beatrix? It's just a spell...

Floyd says until the "demon" swings his sword and hits a claw in Floyd's stomach.

Beatrix even got scared because blood was coming out and did not think that Woodward would ever kill Floyd, but it was just an illusion, while on the outside all his men were cutting down the trees and roots of the cave after hearing screams from it, until finally they opened the way and the demon was gone, Floyd still had his hand in his belly and noticed that blood really came out of there, but it was not a cut that killed the same.

- Is everything all right my lord?

Says one of Floyd's men.

- Shit! We can't enter this cave, not if we go alone, we'll keep camping here!

Says Floyd.

- Apparently she killed one of ours.

Says one of Floyd's men while others took his dead body and threw it in the creek.

- No! That was me who killed, the imbecile put out the torch and left us trapped in this darkness and you didn't happen to see anyone? Out of nowhere these trees appeared and covered the cave.

Says Floyd breathing in relief.

- We didn't see sir, just noises of branches moving, but when we were arriving at the place, everything was already closed.

Says Floyd's man.

- I understand, Beatrix is around here, let's not let it escape, I want men watching the surroundings, be it day or night, we can't let this damn thing go that far, I'm sure it's around here, we'll stay here this week, if we don't find it, we'll go back to Appleton.

Says Floyd.

Floyd then goes to his camp where they had 57 very strong men who accompanied him, as well as a lot of weaponry; they had swords, horses, as well as the tents were built.

Meanwhile in the Woodward Cave she was silently laughing while Beatrix was relieved, still very much in shock of that, so the lower one puts her hand on the shoulder of the higher one and tries to calm her down.

- This Floyd is very dumb and hotheaded; he killed one of his men only because he is angry, this way it's just to make him angry that we can stay free.

Whispers Woodward.

- But it just won't kill Floyd, no matter how much he deserves it.

Whispers Beatrix.

- I didn't kill anybody; I'm not a killer to kill others.

Whispers Woodward.

- Well... All this confusion made me hungry; shall we eat our hare soup?

Whispers Beatrix.

Woodward takes two pots and two shells where the two girls eat the hare soup that Beatrix made, both found a delight, until after eating the lowest one takes off the dress and goes into the water while the taller one was paralyzed and ashamed.

- (I've seen so many naked women... Because I'm getting this way with her... Right in front of me... Oh I hope very much that you don't... )

- Hey Beatrix, come on in here too, the water is warm.

Whispers Woodward.

- Uh... Let me be clear with you... I'm ashamed of these things... You can't separate a side just for me... I don't like being naked in front of others... I really do.

Whispers Beatrix while Woodward uses a spell to create a separate side for Beatrix to bathe in.

- Make yourself at home.

Whispers Woodward smiling to Beatrix.

- Thank you.

Whispers Beatrix going to the separate side and taking off her clothes.

They both take a very hot bath, which Beatrix hadn't taken for months, due to the cold of winter, the tallest one stays there only for a few seconds looking at the ceiling or looking at the legs, reflecting about life from then on. After some time Beatrix gets out of the water and uses a spell to dry herself, just like she dresses her clothes that were also washed there, also repairing the tears in the clothes caused by Woodward she dresses and sits in a place where she looks at the book, still without understanding anything, while the lower one was still taking a bath.

- (At least I finally got a place to settle down, but now I need to accomplish my mission, as soon as Floyd leaves I will try to convince Wood to leave here, we need to find soon a witch who can read, I think those two points that are lower are this same witch, or even two witches, or those points on the side. But how do we get to that point on the side if it's on an island from the looks of it? We have to wait at least 6 months for the water to be nice to swim, better follow these two down).

Woodward soon finished her bath and got out of there standing up in front of Beatrix who hid her face in shame while the lower one dried up and put on an outfit, she even found the shyness of the tall one cute. The sun had already set, it was Beatrix's first night outside the village of Weddinburgh, it even arranged a shelter and a warm bed to sleep, although Woodward who left this place warmer for the oldest.
