Ren the Witch

  "Mom! Look at what I can do!" A six year old Ren cries out in joy.

The young mother walked over to her oldest daughter and patted her head.

Ren quickly grabbed the end of the woman's dress and lead her to the flower patch, pointing to the diseased flowers.

The raven haired child stuck out her hand and smiled, A small purple hue emitting from her hands as the diseased flowers began to move.

The black death surrounding the flowers began to fade and they began to be filled with life once again.

A scream left the older woman who quickly pulled her daughter away from the flowers.

"A WITCH? SHE CANT BE A WITCH! WITCHES DONT BELONG IN OUR FAMILY! WHAT WILL THE VILLIAGE THINK?" Rens father, the Lord screamed at his wife.

"WHAT WILL THE KING THINK? HE DESPISES ANY FAMILY OR VILLIAGE WITH MAGICAL BEINGS" He screamed again as the young mother shook her head.

"She can heal things. If we keep the arrangements she can make healing herbs and we can sell them once she marries the heir to the family. We can still keep our deal with the king!" The woman speaks while shaking her head and placing a hand on her forehead massaging it.

"Then what do you suppose we do with this child until she turns eighteen?" The man spoke with pure arrogance.

"We raise her like we'll raise our other daughters. And once she's eighteen we'll ship her off to the kingdom and forget all about the disgrace." The woman answers before walking off to their bedroom not realizing the young girl was listening at the top of the staircase quietly sobbing.

'How could something so beautiful be so distasteful to them?'

   "REN! get down from there you know mom will not like you doing these unlady like things!" a thirteen year old girl yells to a sixteen year old Ren who was currently standing on top of a tree branch trying to grab an herb for her new mix.

"You guys truly haven't realized that I don't care what mom says about me being 'un-lady like'." Ren says as she successfully grabs the herbs shoving them into her bag and slowly gets down from the tree.

Most days Ren was yelled at for her gifts and her magical spells and mixtures.

'they never complain when I heal them from sicknesses' The young witch thinks to herself as she walks back through the villiage.

"She's so strange."

"Such a boring excuse of a future lord"

"Doesn't she realize that adventures are pointless?"

The comments were never-ending it seemed.

Ren quietly walked along the path back to her house.

"She should honestly start baking or just become a housewife." A woman spat at the young female as she neared her house.

"At least I'm happy with myself unlike you miss oats" The female spat out as the older lady gave the witch a sour look.

"What a rude child!" She scoffed and walked inside to her cottage.

'what a bitch'

-----

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Ren screamed as her father knocked over her bookcase full of medical herbs and viles.

The middle-aged man didn't care and quickly destroyed the sanctuary the raven haired witch worked so hard to create.

"THIS IS DISRESPECTFUL TO NOT ONLY US BUT THE KING" The male screamed at his daughter.

"WHY? WHAT DOES THE KING HAVE TO DO WITH ME BEING MYSELF?" Ren finally screamed back quickly grabbing her spell book from her father's hands.

"BECAUSE I WANT TO MARRY YOU OFF TO HIS SON TO GET MY VILLIAGE MORE WELL OFF" He hollers back as Ren gasps and tugs the book out of his hands holding onto it tightly.

"You what....." The seventeen year old witch breathes out in terror.

The other man let's out an aggravated sigh.

"Tomorrow the king and his gaurds will be arriving in the villiage to come and take you back to the kingdom." He says as Ren just stands there.

"Get your shit together and ready yourself." The man walks out of the room leaving Ren to finally fall over into the ground.

"I...I have to get out of here." the female whispers to herself as she looks around the room.

Whipping her tears she stands up grabbing a bad and shoves chloths, books, and some medical herbs in the bag throwing it over her shoulder.

Ren quickly unlatches the window and sticks her head out looking into the woods behind her house.

She looks around and makes a whistle noise, the noise echoing through out the forest.

After a minute a meow is heard next to a tree.

Ren smiles and exits the window walking towards the creature.

"There you are. Do you think you can make me invisible? My father ripped up my transformation spell books." The female spoke to the small creature Infront of her.

The small black cat sighed and nodded it's head as Ren held out her bag opening the top for the small cat to crawl inside.

"Once we reach another villiage I promise I'll buy you some apple slices, don't worry Aya" The female spoke quietly as she began to walk through the forest, the familiar quicky making the two invisible as they walk further.

Ren turns around one last time to look at the villiage and smiles.

"I fucking hate this place" she turns back around disappearing into the night.
