Nagisa Momoe skipped in the hospital, unusually happy in a place that was filled with despair. She skipped in the hallway, before finally entering the cool hospital room. In the room, a sickly woman sat at a bed, smiling.
"Mama! Mama, guess what? I brought cheesecake for us!"
The girl giggled, as her mother looked surprised, and a warm smile appeared on her face.
And so, the two ate the cake happily. They laughed as they spoke, and the cake tasted delicious. Nagisa laughed, she never felt so happy before.
She was so happy, because her mother was happy.
Finishing the cheesecake, her mother decided it was time for her to sleep. She was quite tired, and with all of this excitement, she only wanted to sleep. The white haired girl could only smile and say 'good night' to her as her mother fell asleep.
It was quiet. Too quiet. Nagisa remained silent, looking at her mother. Wait…
And her orange eyes widened in fear.
Nagisa shot up, and begun to shake her mother. "Mama! Mama! Wake up!" She cried out, as she tried to wake the still body. Please… Please…. Wake up…!
Nagisa put her hand on her mother's chest, to try and feel for the comforting heartbeat.
Nagisa couldn't breathe. No no no no nononono-
But during all of this, a strange cat creature walked to the window of the room. It's red eyes and eerie smile didn't help Nagisa's fear.
"You! You can bring her back, right?! P-please, say that you can-!"
"I can only grant you one wish, Momoe Nagisa. Besides, you wasted your only wish on a cake of all things! Wouldn't it have been more simple to simply wish that you mother was healthy?"
The girl shook, as a choked sob came out of her body. That was something she could've done? But, that was surely impossible…
She stared at the white gem in her hand, and almost threw on the ground in fear.
"W-What happened to it?! Why is it black?" Nagisa panicked, as she suddenly felt pain, it hurt, mom come back, why…
"Ah. I see you might be turning into a witch! Amazing, you've been useful in our job, Momoe Nagisa."
That was the last thing she heard, before falling into despair, before transforming into a monster.
Before she became the Witch Charlotte.
