Their Childhood

Meeting Eda Clawthorne

I sighed as I walked into the IFWOT. This was my 3rd year and it was getting kind of boring. I mean it's always the same: We meet the head Proctor, we go to a few booths and then we get a ribbon and go home.

It's always the same routine every year and I'm sick of it. I just wish someone else was the most gifted student. I walked up to the stage when the ground started to shake and out of the ground came a woman around her mid 20s she had green hair and a pink flower on the top of her head.

Greetings students, educators. My name is Terra Snapdragon the Head Witch of the Plant Coven but today I'm head proctor for the... she looks up and sees the IFWOT sign.

IFWOT? Seriously? She asked she snaps her fingers and vines begin to cover the IFWOT banner (which makes the Coven Scout repairing it fall from there) and it is replaced by vines and pretty flowers sprouting from it.

I'm here to "Help. Enhance. Coven. Know-How" welcome to HECK! She announced, there's only a minimal amount of applause.

Oh this is my first year hosting and I am thrilled today you little sweet peas will go through your rigorous exercises that will enhance your Intelligence, Strength and Creativity are you excited? She asked this time everyone cheered except for me.

Lovely remember this won't be a bed of roses. She told us, a Coven scout came up walked out and opened a box a ribbons

Only the best of you will be rewarded. The failures will be ground into mulch for a garden. My eyes widened when she said this. I backed up a little and a Glandus high student started crying. A Coven scout came up to Terra and whispered something in her ear she looked at the Coven scout.

Illegal? she asked the scout nodded.

Oh we'll see about that won't we children? Let the activities begin! she announced everyone walked to their first stands mine was Trust

Tell me what makes the Covens strong? The stand teacher asked

Strength in numbers? A dark pact? Well it is all of those things but also,  Trust. The proctor said he demonstrated this by letting a Coven scout fall into his arms.

Trust in our fellow Coven-Mates so we'll begin doing trust falls Any volunteers the proctor asked I sighed and was about to go up there when a girl with orange and a letterman jacket came up.

Very good, very good. The proctor said then a green blob like student came up behind him.

And this will be your partner. The proctor said the girls face scrunched up in disgust.

Now you close your eyes and trust that your Coven-Mate will catch you. The proctor said. The girl sighed she turned around and fell back but when she fell she fell straight the blob we all ran off screaming when we saw her skull but I didn't go far I wanted to see what happened the blob started to cry and then suddenly the girls skeleton disappeared in a Poof I was confused at first until the girl appeared behind the proctor and the blob.

An illusion! I realized she said something but I couldn't hear what, all I knew was that she walked away looking sad and the proctor and the blob looked mad, my eyebrows scrunched.

I was walking around the IFWOT -or as Terra called it HECK- I was searching for that girl who had upset the Trust proctor when I heard someone talking.

Blech even the free junk is junk! I heard someone exclaim. I followed the voice and found a girl with orange hair and she had on a letterman jacket. I recognized her from earlier she was the girl who faked her death and also who I was looking for. She was quite pretty she threw her drink to the ground but I caught it with my magic and put it back in the cup she frowned as I came into view.
