The 'Witches Saga

Snippet Twenty Seven

Danni Richardson leaned against the counter top in front of her and looked around her shop, a soft smile tilting her mouth up as she breathed in the familiar scent of vanilla from the candles which she had set up at intervals on the shelves.

The day had been nicely relaxed with a steady flow of customers. The shop was never extremely busy but it didn't surprise her considering what she sold. If she was being honest with herself then she was actually pleased that it wasn't. The fact that she wasn't overwhelmed meant that she was able to give each and every customer who stepped through her door, her undivided attention. She liked to think that the way she treated her customers and the service which she provided them was the reason why they came back again and again and were willing to spread the word about her among their friends.

Moving to Hawaii had been a blessing for her, allowing her to finally embrace all her gifts without being persecuted for it. It was a known fact that magic ran through the world and that there were people out there like Danni who were able to touch and use that magic for their own gain or to help other people. Two different factions simply known as the witches of the dark and the witches of the light.

Danni had always been one of the witches of the light, using her talents to help people. She was well known in their community for her gift of healing.

Back in her old hometown, magic users has been looked down upon and vilified. The shop which Danni had owned had been vandalised several time until she had begun to despair that she would have to close it. When the offer had come from her twin brother to move with him and his new-born daughter to Hawaii she had jumped at the chance, relocating her shop. It was a decision which she was realising was possibly the best decision she had ever made. Seven months in and her shop was still standing, untouched and looking as cosy and pleasant as the day which she had bought it.

Danni glanced up as the door opened and a good looking man of around five foot nine or ten walked in. He looked as though he was a native of the island with short wavy black hair and black eyes. She watched curiously as he glanced around him, no doubt wondering what was in all the jars and containers which she had on display before his eyes finally landed on her with a look which was torn between hope, despair and desperation.

It was a look which sent a chill down her spine.

"Are you still open?" He asked her as he moved towards her.

"I am" She confirmed with a nod as she pushed herself back into a standing position, shooting him a questioning look as she continued to speak. "Can I help you with something? Is there anything you're looking for exactly or are you just looking around?"

"Thank god you're open" The man murmured quietly to himself before he raised his voice. "I need a Healer and I was told that there was one here" He asked.

"I'm a Healer" She told him cautiously watching as he closed his eyes for a moment before he opened them back up and focused on her.

"My name is Chin Ho Kelly, I'm with 50 the governor's taskforce. I need you to come with me. We need your immediate assistance." He stated.

"My assistance?" She repeated, her eyes widening when he nodded at her.

"That's right" Chin confirmed, moving round the side of the counter and stopping in front of her. "My colleague needs your help."

"If you have a colleague who needs medical attention Mr Kelly then it would be better if you got him or her to a hospital straight away. They will be able to help them better than I will be able to." She told him softly.

"It's not a type of wound that anyone at a hospital can help with. Something has happened to Steve, the man who we were chasing during our case was magical and he used it against Steve. You're the only magical Healer we know of within distance of where we need to be. Steve doesn't have the time it would take to find someone else." He stated, an undercurrent of desperation to his voice which touched her. Whoever this Steve was, it was clear that he was important to the man in front of her.

"Okay Mr Kelly" She said with a nod. "Give me a moment to close up here and we can go." She stated, reaching down and grabbing the shoulder bag which she always kept packed and ready for any of the rare home visits which she went on.

She followed Chin out of her shop, looking back into the shop and waving her hand, watching as all the candles instantly went out at the movement before she stepped out into the bright sunshine, closing the door behind her and locking it. She turned and headed down the path, her heart sinking when she saw Chin head for a motorbike.

She opened her mouth to make a comment but closed it. Her car was back at home since she could easily walk the distance between her home and the shop which meant that the only way to get to where Chin's friend was would be by bike.

Danni moved towards it, taking the helmet which Chin offered her and pulled it on, climbing on the back of the bike. She adjusted her bag before shuffling forward and wrapping her arms tightly around his waist, holding on as the bike roared into life beneath them and they sped off as though the hounds of hell were after them.

Danni just hoped that they wouldn't be too late to help his friend.
