Chapter 3: The love
Jinx was walking into town. She wore her brown robe, it would make sure she was undetected from everyone. "Just go in, get what I need and get out." She whispered to herself. She walked over to a merchant who sold different kinds of herbs. The man was young with orange hair and sea blue eyes. Jinx walked up to his stand.
"What can I help you with young lady?" He smiled at her.
"I am looking for bay leaves. Do you have any?" She asked.
"Yeah I have some." He went behind the table to receive them, he came back shortly after with a leather bag that smelled like bay leaves. "That will be 3 silver coins." He smiled again.
"But the sign says 5." Jinx pointed out as she reached for her pocket.
"For a lovely lady like you… That will be 3" Jinx blushed, she looked away. "What's your name?"
"hehe… Jin- Jenna!" She almost cursed at herself.
"Jenna, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl." His flirty smirk didn't vanish from his face. "I'm wally." He took out his hand to shake hands.
She shook it. "Nice to meet you." She payed for the leaves and was about to leave. "I have to go."
"Wait, can I see you again sometime?" He asked, she blushed again.
"Maybe, maybe not." She said, she started to walk away again.
"Well I hope so- OW!" Jinx turned around at the sound of his pain. What she saw was hilarious.
"Wally! Do your job, don't stand around flirting with girls!" A tall man said, he had reddish hair, maybe his father.
"Fine! See you Jenna!" He waved to her as he was forced to go back to work.
The last thing she heard was Wally yelling at his father. "Thanks dad, I almost had a date!" Jinx giggled and blushed again before going out the gates to the marked.

"You look happy" Malchior said, he was leaning on a tree outside the house.
"I go the leaves and I didn't get caught." She said, Wally was not going to be mentioned to anyone, maybe Raven.
"Good, what did Trigon want with them anyway?" He followed her inside the house.
"Something about a wish, you know magic wish." She said waving the bag around. "Lord Trigon, I have the leaves you required." Jinx said upon entering the living room.
Everything in the house was gothic decorated.
"Thank you Jinx." He said, he used his magic to levitate the bag out of her hands. A candle appeared in front of him. He took one of the leaves said quietly.
"I wish for my daughter to come to her senses and go along with my wishes." A fire started on the candle before Trigon let the leaf burn. The leaf started to smoke, which meant that the wish was impossible.
"No!" He yelled.

A week later
Trigon had taken the necklace off Raven, she was free to go. He realised that he couldn't keep her locked up forever, he had to let her go. She was still going to take his throne whenever she liked that or not.
Raven sat alone in her room, she had found the bay leaves and wanted to make a wish on them. As she sat there with the burning candle in front of her she looked at the leaf.
"I wish to see Garfield again." She whispered, she kissed the leaf before letting it burn. The leaf started to burn without smoke. Which meant the wish would come true. She smiled. "Thank you."

Jinx had been going out to meet Wally a lot, they would take a walk in the forest, far away enough to not be caught by Malchior or Trigon.
"So, what is your real name?" Wally asked, Jinx looked at him a little shocked.
"What do you mean?" She said low.
"Well I remember that you stuttered when I asked you the day we meet. "Jin-Jenna" kinda gave you away." He smiled down at her, she looked away a little shameful.
"I'm sorry I lied." Did she really just give in? Yes, yes she did. "My real name is Jinx…"
"Jinx… Like the witch?" Wally asked, he didn't seem frightened. Not at all, he looked calm and happy.
"Well yes…" She muttered, she closed her eyes waiting for him to run away or scream, but he didn't. She looked at him.
"Cool, I never meet a real witch before." He said calm.
What is it with him? He isn't like the others. She thought. "Wait, you're not afraid of me?" She asked.
"Why should I?" He moved over to her and started to remove her hood, she had kept in up all the time. "If you was going to hurt me, I bet you would have done it by now." When he did manage to remove her hood, his jaw dropped. "Wow…"
She blushed again. "I…" She started.
"I have never seen such beauty." He said, she blushed even more. "In all my years…" muttered, he looked at her stunned.
"T-Thank you…" She hugged him, a few tears escaped her eyes. "Nobody have ever called me beautiful"
"What?!" He wrapped arms around her. "The people who never saw your beautie are idiots."

Jinx had never been so happy, she and Wally had just gone their separate ways. He told her things she never thought she would hear.
"Soo… When was you going to introduce me to your boyfriend?" Raven asked, she hung down from a tree looking at Jinx with a smile.
Jinx jumped. "Gah! W-What are you talking about?" She asked, Raven could see sweat forming on her brow.
"Don't try to fool me Jinx, I saw you." Raven smiled at her as she got to her feet.
"Y-You did?..." Jinx looked sad at the ground.
"Don't worry, I won't tell my father. To be honest, I want to congratulate you." Raven smiled at her sister's reaction.
"What? You're not mad?" Jinx asked, she wasn't that shocking, but still.
"Why would I be? My sister got herself a boyfriend" Raven sang.
"It's not official yet, but maybe soon…" She sighed with both joy and hurt.
Raven giggled. "Come on, dinner is soon ready." Raven began to drag Jinx after her back into the house.

Garfield, Victor and Richard had gone back into town, they needed more supplies. As they got close to the gate they noticed a orange haired boy walk along the path.
"Hey, what are you doing outside the gates?" Garfield asked the boy.
"Hmm? I was just outside, why do you ask?" Wally said. "Hey you're Garfield Logan aren't you!"
"Yes, and why was you outside. Haven't you heard, there is witches around, they could harm you."
"Not all of them…" He muttered under his breath. "Okay, I will be careful." He said before waving to them and walking into the town.
The boys went to theirs and got the supplies. Some rope, weapons, food, silver and salt. They also said "Hello" To their lovers and Garfield couldn't help but feel jealous.

I know this was more about Jinx and Wally, but still… Also the chapter was short.
