| UNFADING LUST | Wilhemina Venable

CH.29 MAYBE JUST MAYBE

"What are you doing here?" she asked, making me a warm cup of tea, "I was just wandering around the woods, and" I have no idea what I should say after and, "and?" she placed the tea in front of me, "I love the music so I came?" I murmured and she laughed.

"you lost someone, someone that is very special for you" I was stunned by her words, who's she, how did she knows, "yes... but may I ask how did you know all this", "I'm a witch, dear" she said.

"So you know what I am?" I'm afraid she going to kick me out of her house, "yes but don't worry I won't ask you to leave" she chuckled.

"I'm Myrtle snow", "I used to be Violet Walton but now it's Violet Venable" she widen her eyes after I said my name or maybe my last name shocked her.

"you're very special Violet" she grabbed my hand and close her eyes, "she's not here anymore" she whispered, I tried to hold back my tears, "don't cry child, there's a chance you two will meet again I can feel it" she smiled, "Will we?" tears began to roll down my cheeks, "she's not gone yet, she's in another realm" she added, "what realm? can I go there?" my tiny heart beats almost came out my chest.

"You can't go there, neither of us can" "but we can perform a tiny ritual to open the portal and maybe just maybe she will come back" she opened her eyes and leaned back, "and when is this ritual going to start" I almost kneel down on my knees, "full moon and it will require many things, a blood of a mortal soul, your blood and her own blood, anyone from her family will do, something that she gave to you it can be necklace, rings or letters" letters, she did send me letters, the one attracted to the bouquet and her purple box.

"When is the next full moon?" I asked, "tomorrow night" she says, looking out the window.

She offered me to stay at her house tonight, but I have to get back and prepare for the ritual and also Vivian and the others needs to know about this.
