Liviah Another Story

Witch Lothoa

(There's a place for you out there)

I slept soundingly not realizing I had went back to sleep. As I woke up I looked for Leo but after searching I realized he wasn't there.

"No? Where did he go?..."

Did I say no?..... I didn't need anyone.... everyone had abandoned me.

"I don't need him..."

Then I heard a voice.

"No, we need each other. Don't be so foolish, everyone needs someone, even me. Nobody can do everything themselves, that's just pride. Learn to lose it, or, hinder yourself and your life.'

Leo said.

"What!...."

I couldn't believe he heard me.

"I understand. I get it you don't trust anyone. I don't either, but I ain't crazy either, everyone contributes to something good, even the negative things contribute to something good as well"

Leo Said.

"So don't make yourself proud."

Leo said.

It was like he was reading my mind.

"Listen, you have every reason not to trust me, but don't make that something you'll regret later. If you push everyone away, in the end you have yourself to blame and nobody else but yourself. Instead learn how to get along with people and help others do the same."

Leo said.

I looked at him.

"What are you s-saying....!?"

I asked.

Leo smiled.

"I said you should find reasons to love people, even when there's something to hate, nobody lives forever. Those people you pretend to hate so much, one day they might not be there anymore, or maybe even one day you won't be there to hate them, either way, why waste your life in hatred?"

Leo Said.

I looked at Leo and my eyes shook.

"I know, you want to look at me crazy. But think of it this way, you're called a witch and people hunt you for being a witch, but witches aren't the only people hated and hunted, even people like me and even some good people are hated for no reason, sometimes for mistakes sometimes out envy and even material or possession, people can find any reason not to love but Lothoa, do you want to become like the ones who hurt you? Or do you want to be better?"

Leo asked me. Leo then walked up to me and touched both of my hands.

"Leo....!..."

I said suddenly.

"It's fine if you're not ready yet"

Leo said looking into my eyes bravely. All his gaze was on me.

"Hey. Do you know how to fight?"

Leo asked me.

I looked at him.

"What? Of course I do.."

I said.

Leo shook his head.

"No. I said fight not run or defend."

Leo said.

"The best defense is a good offense offense?"

I asked.

Leo smiled.

"Exactly. I want to get moving. We will head into the next town okay?"

Leo said.

I looked at him crazy.

"Excuse me? But towns don't like me?"

I said.

"That maybe true, but if you're with me, they wouldn't dear"

Leo said.
