Cordelia took Misty's hand and led her into the house.
Some girls watched Cordelia and Misty and began to whisper, Cordelia ignored and went straight to Myrtle's office.
Misty just followed, she did not know what to say or what to do. She knew she could not go back to her swamp, but what now? For some reason she did not even bother, Misty felt she could trust Cordelia. She was so beautiful, and she was so worried about her; Something told Misty that she would follow Cordelia anywhere.
Myrtle was not at the office, so Cordelia decided to take Misty to her room.
Misty had never seen a room like that, everything was so beautiful, so different from the simple house and where she had grown up with her parents.
At that moment Misty felt a pain in her chest, her parents, people who had to protect her let her burn her at the stake. How could they do this to her? She did not understand ... lost in thought Misty did not hear Cordelia call her name several times.
-Misty? Are you listening to me?
-No I'm sorry. Thank ya so much for saving me.
Cordelia blushed, something in the way Misty looked at her made her feel butterflies in her stomach. Cordelia never felt that way before, least of all by someone she had just met.
She felt the urge to hug the girl so she did. Misty was taken by surprise when Cordelia's arms enveloped her in a tight embrace but immediatly she surrendered to affection and heard Cordelia say close to her ear:
"I want you to stay calm, you're safe now. And you can trust me."
The girls moved away from each other, but remained close. At that moment there was a knock on the door, startling them. Myrtle walked in looking at them with confusion.
-Baby bird I felt your distressed, It's so interesting how I always feel your heart baby bird, like you were my own. You were looking for me?
-Aunt Myrtle!
Cordelia ran into her aunt's arms
-You have no idea what happened! I was in the swamp and suddenly I heard a noise, there were two armed men running after her and I had to help!
At that moment Cordelia looked at Misty who was standing in the same spot looking at the ground, visibly frightened. Myrtle walked toward Misty, placing her hand on the girl's chin lifting her face so she could see her face.
-I suppose you are the reason for this confusion?
Misty immediately recoiled in fear and just nodded.
-Oh, darling! you do not have to be afraid! It's gonna be okay! Would you mind telling us why these men were after you?
Misty debated internally whether or not to tell the truth. She did not know how they reacted, but at the same time they deserved to know the truth. For some unknown reason to Misty, she felt she could speak the truth.
-I'm Misty Day ... And I ... Well, I was burned at the stake when my mother saw me helping a bird.
Cordelia looked at her in confusion.
-Help?
Misty nodded.
-Well, you see...he was dead and i kind of brought him back to life.
Misty braced herself for the worst but as she looked at the red-haired woman she did not see the startled or disgusted look to which she was accustomed. Instead, the woman seemed amazed.
-Resurgence. Was what the woman said and Cordelia nodded.
-Yes, i have always been this way. But i wont hurt anyone, i promise.
Misty begged, still afraid.
Cordelia and Myrtle just laughed and Misty stared at them in confusion. Myrtle walked towards Misty
-Oh Honey! You have nothing to worry about, you have found your home. It's funny really, of all places you ending up here! Oh t's really wonderful!
Misty still didn't understand what was happening, so Cordelia spoke.
-Misty, you're in a house of people like you! We are witches and this one is our Coven and it can be yours too, if you want of course. Right, Aunt Myrtle?
Cordelia looked at her aunt who just smiled.
-But of course my child. Misty, you're more than welcome here. Know that we take care of each other, your problems are our problems. Here you will learn about their powers and how to develop and control them. Would you like that?
Misty could not believe her luck, never in her life did she think she would find people like her and who would be somewhere she would be accepted the way she is. Despite the fear of living with so many other girls, she felt that this was the place for her, and more than that she felt that her place was with Cordelia. In fact, she did not know how she could feel so strongly attached to a girl she'd met hours before. But she was willing to find out.
-I would like to stay if there really is not a problem.
Cordelia's heart was flooded with happiness and she ran toward Misty.
-I'm so happy you're staying!
They hugged for a while while Myrtle watched them curiously. When they moved away from each other, Myrtle said.
-Cordelia, your room is big enough and I think Misty would be more than happy to share it with you. So ask Spalding to prepare the room to receive Misty. I trust you to make our sister Witch feel at home.
-Of course aunty!
Myrtle left the room, leaving the girls to get to know each other better. Both of them were so happy, and for Myrtle, to see Cordelia this happy was all that she wanted for a long time.
