The two women guide you into the mansion, Cordelia holding your hand. You thank god with your whole heart that your hand isn't sweating.

When you first enter the academy you see a short hallway with a door on each side before a large space of room, with a staircase in the centre dividing into two directions up to the second floor. You immediately forgot about the pain in the back of your head and watch the long white walls in awe. This isn't just a normal mansion, it looked like a whole castle. But as you entered the building, you could sense some... Unusual energy. The feeling was hard to describe but the energy was strong. It was radiating with powerful...magic... in these walls. You didn't know if it was intimidating or welcoming.

You shot a worried glance towards Cordelia, who simply kept walking with you. Wait, where were you going? She's not going to lock you into her basement right? Oh shit, she's a complete stranger— why did you trust her? You're getting murdered and no one will save you. But she told you you were safe. She helped you in the middle of the sidewalk. She had a good aura, you just knew it. So you decided to swallow your doubts and trust her. But what if she's good at manipulating? What if—

Your thoughts were interrupted as you stopped by a large doorway without a door. You faced a kitchen where two other women who sat by a round table. You glanced at Cordelia and she returned the glance with a warm smile. Feeling slightly better you gazed back at the two women sitting at the table. One of them were a bit overweight while the second one was slim. You could sense by the way she stared at you, that she liked to command others. She seemed confident, unlike you in this moment.

"Hello Madison and Queenie, this girl right here.." Cordelia said, walking behind you to grab your shoulders. "..Seemed to have passed out on our sidewalk outside the fence. She will be staying here until she feels better and then she will return back to her home again."

You gulped. You didn't know where your home was. You tried to remember. You clenched your jaw, pressing yourself to remember but everything was just... blank. "What's your name, girl?" It was the black woman talking. "I uh.." You hesitated. You didn't know your name either. Shit you probably looked stupid hesitating like this. Like a lamb in a wolf pack. You scratched your neck to look casual, but resulted in looking even more nervous. You gulped again. You felt your mouth getting dry. Should you just run away? What the fuck, no? Should you lie? Or just tell the truth? Shit everyone's staring at you. Good job.

"Hey, are you okay?" said the darkblonde woman with the hat. She was kind, but didn't help relieving your overthinking brain.
"Are you gonna answer Queenie or just stand there like a stupid idiot?" That was the slim blonde who spoke. She was smoking a cigarette as she narrowed her eyes at you. You fumbled with your fingers nervously, not daring looking anyone in the eyes. You knew their eyes were glued on you. Judging you.
"I don't remember..." you finally said in a whispery tone.
"Eh? Repeat what you just said," Madison said carelessly.
"I don't remember."
There was a long silence.

Cordelia broke the silence by speaking up again.
"Don't worry, maybe your mind will remember later. For now, what would you like to be called?"
You glanced behind your shoulder to meet her gaze. "Sandy?"
"Sandy? What a lame name. You know what? It probably fits you. Considering your lameness," Madison said and stood up from her chair rather dramatically. You furrowed your brows in confusion. Did you do something wrong to bother her?

"Anywho! I'll go shopping. Queenie you coming?"
Queenie hesitated for a moment. "Oh come on i'll give you a burger for free. Does that sound good?"
At that Queenie stood up, grinning and following Madison out of the building.
Cordelia sighed and walked past you to sit on the chair where Madison recently sat. The darkblonde sat down on Queenie's chair, while you seated yourself on a chair between them. You still didn't know her name.

"Sorry about that, Sandy. Madison is always like that, don't worry. I will have a word with her after this, even though i know it won't improve her attitude," Cordelia said with a small smile. "Zoe, why don't you introduce yourself and tell her about who we are?" She added.
Zoe gave her a curt nod and looked at you with a warm smile. "I'm Zoe Benson. We're witches."

You blinked in surprise.
This wasn't what you expected to hear... but it made sense. That would explain the powerful energy radiating in this building, and the women aswell. It sounded very dramatic, but you decided to believe it for now. But wait. Aren't witches bad? They're not going to put you into a large cattle, right? Oh my god, stop. Why would they put you in a cattle? They could be cannibals. But they could also be like any normal human being with feelings! Cordelia feels like a godess though. She's more than just a human being. You could feel yourself melt at the thought of Cordelia.

You realized Zoe was watching you. She was probably waiting for a reaction. Oh right! You should probably say something.
"Oh! I mean that's cool... Explains why your energy is so powerful and all..." You mumbled.
Zoe arched a brow and exchanged glances with Cordelia.
"This isn't a joke. If you're going to stay here i, we, want you to know who exactly you're sharing the building with," Cordelia said.
"No i'm serious, it's cool! I mean you're still the people who helped me right? I owe you for that by the way— But you won't put me in a cattle with boiling soup, right?"
"What? Of course not, we don't do that," she said with a laugh.
"Oh okay, good..." You mumbled with embarrassment, tilting your head downwards to look at your hands in your knees.

Zoe simply smiled.
Cordelia, apparently knowing how to turn your gay panic into action, rests her palm on your hand.
"We need to discuss where you sleep tonight. Unfortunately, our rooms are full at the moment— so that means you'd have to share a room with someone. But if that thought really unsettles you, we could bring you a mattress to sleep in the greenhouse."

You widened your eyes. Sleeping in a greenhouse? That sounds so cozy. But imagine sharing a room with Miss Cordelia... Holy shit, why are you thinking this?! You mentally slapped yourself to stop thinking those thoughts. Don't be a creep.
"I don't want to bother anyone so i'll just sleep in the greenhouse," you quickly said before you changed your mind. Even if you secretly wanted to sleep with Cordelia. Your cheeks reddened. But Cordelia didn't seem to notice it, and made herself a mental note. It kind of hurt though.
She didn't even try to persuade you to share a room with someone. Fuck, don't be so self-centered! Of course she would want you to sleep in the greenhouse. Her friends would probably feel awkward about the situation, and she probably also thought you would feel uncomfortable. Cordelia is so selfless. So far you already get the idea that she only cares for her friends. And that she always puts them first before herself.

"Okay. I'll show you where the greenhouse is. When you're ready you can come back here to the kitchen. I want you to meet the other members of the coven," she says with a nod and withdraws her palm from you.
