The Owl and The Crow

Chapter 6: Born, Not Made

Misty's POV

Dream walking, you've done it many times before, and this time was no different. You opened your eyes in the dark void only to see the many colored orbs around you. Many sounds soon filled your ears as you walked across the darkness, your skin glowing a gentle purple that helped illuminate your path. A small hoot caught your attention as you looked up to see your little owl. She glowed a pure white and there were a few black feathers here. Her tail twitched as the feathers at the end began to ruffle a bit, as her purple eyes stared down at you. She landed on your shoulder and gave a small hoot as you petted her feathers.

She suddenly jumped off of you and took flight, eagerly wanting you to follow. You did and soon came across a blue orb, but not Miranda's, it was darker, less...icy. Oddly enough the orb was surrounded by some sort of red mist, this was unknown to you and it felt..off. You begin to walk away but your owl...well, she had other ideas. She flew right above you, making sure to slap you in the face with her tail feathers, before diving into the dream.

You spit the feathers out of your mouth before turning over your shoulder to see the dream again. You give an exasperated sigh before shrugging your shoulders and walking into the strange dream.

WAKE UP!

You shoot awake, your hand on your chest as you gasp for air. Sweat drips down your face as you hunch over, your hands still grip your blanket as you try to regulate your breathing.

"Holy moly." you mutter, "What was that?"

No one answered and you just sat there for a moment, gasping for air. When you have finally calmed down you swing your legs out of bed before snapping your fingers. A puff of purple smoke engulfs you before it slowly disappears, revealing a cream white long sleeved shirt and a cloud white skirt that went down to your ankles. Your socks were up to your knee with a black and white striped pattern. Your shoes were light gray and your white hat sat on your messy white hair. You quickly grab your spell book and teleport downstairs, as you were about to grab your notebook a loud and rapid knock sounded from the door.

Walking to it, you quickly open the door to reveal Vallery. Her face was pale and painted with worry, as she held her hands close to her chest and stared at you with her pleading blue eyes. Sweat beaded on her forehead and her breath was a bit labored.

"Miss, it's K, she needs help. Now!" the silver haired girl rushed out

You only nodded your head before the girl took your hand and began running back to the village. Without thinking you stopped running and pulled the girl close as you teleported to the front of the village. Vallery didn't really question it as she began to run again, leading you to a house surrounded by people. The girl clutched your hand tight as people began to clear out the way to let you pass, well that was until some men blocked the path.

"Vallery, what on earth are you doing with this devil woman!" one of them men demanded

The little girl stood strong in front of you, even if she was trembling like a leaf, she didn't let it show in her face.

"Mr. Morr please let her pass, she can fix K." the girl pleated

"Nonsense. The Witch in the Woods can cure a little girl of some simple night terrors? Vallery, sometimes you worry too much for that girl."

"But it's not just night terrors Mr. Morr its-" Vallery started, her hands clutching into fist as her frustration started to build

"That's enough young lady I've-"
