The grand high joker

Chapter 1

It was around 11 pm when Eva looked out of the window of her hotel room, into the pitch black night. Lately she felt a cruel feeling inside her body that she never noticed before. Her heart tensed and she feared that there would be something like human emotions, that she successfully fought all these years. What changed all of a sudden? She always preferred to be alone. If she needed somebody to talk, she still had her cat Liebchen. But the strange man, that she spotted in the lobby, changed something inside of her.

"Who's that man, liebchen?" He dare to look at me like that? He's not even blinking. Fools!" She immediately closed her window, the fear is there. What seems to be the problem within her? Is it really a problem, or a wonderful thing? Far away from hexes and being wicked.

That thought didn't leave her mind. She tried to sleep that night but his image even occupied her dreams. Eva's restless sleep was interrupted by Liebchen, who dropped a vase from the cupboard. She was startled from the loud shatter and sat up, trying to understand what happened. "Go to sleep, you stupid cat!", she muttered and threw a pillow after her.
Now that she was awake, she thought about her weird dream and caught herself wasting more thoughts on this man, than she'd like.
"What do you think? Does he stay in this hotel aswell? Maybe even at the same floor?", she asked her cat, that guiltily rolled together in her lap. Eagerly she tried to erase those lovey dovey thoughts and feelings.  "He's probably just a weird stalker. But he won't get my attention! He's not worth it! No man is worth my affection!"

By one snap of her fingers, the lights all over the room went on and illuminated her flawless and unblemished face. She once again snapped her fingers, it made the grand windows and the opulence set of curtains wide opened. It's exactly 3:00 am, her official hour. Everyday, during this hour, she's bringing her cauldron to boil. It is very powerful and tyrannical among all the cauldron in the world owned by witches in every countries. Miss Eva Earnst is the Grandest, the most wicked, blasphemous, lavish and affluent in all of the world. She possesses enchantress and bewitching beauty, immortality and tremendous amount of strength, capability and power. She is the only one having this kind of abilities, because she is the Grand High Witch.

"What shall I do? It's a lovely witching hour.. Tell me, my precious, vicious cauldron. shall check on the Witches of the world?"

Factually, the cauldron of the Grand High Witch has the power to monitor all of the Witches, wherever they are or whatever they may be doing. Their spells, their hexes, their plans, agendas, hexes and the most important of all, their children victims. Whatever she asks for, the cauldron will do it for her.

"Show him to me." She whispered and swayed her hands in a circular motion on top of the steam of her cauldron.

There was an image appearing in front of her that showed the stranger that she had seen during the last few days. He was located in some kind of dark alley, which made him even more alluring to her. Was he an unscrupulous criminal aswell? A killer? He was just leaning against the wall, obviously waiting for someone. She was mesmerized by him and couldn't stop looking at him, but at that moment somebody knocked at the door. From the chatter outside she could hear that it had to be one of the other witches.

"What do you want at this hour? You are disturbing me!", she shouted and rushed at the door to look at them with an icy stare.

Above the cauldron she lazily threw a scarf of her, to hide what she was looking at.

A very powerful black smoke came out from the surface of the cauldron.

"Your grandess" they greeted the very irritated Miss Earnst. Their smiles are so wide that it can break the skin of their faces anytime. Their teeth are all visible while smiling and their lips can almost reach their ears.
