3RD POV

It has been four days since Vivian left the Salaria tribe. She ran away from Rui and now she's flying on her broom. Her heart is broken, and she can't stop crying, which makes the journey really sad. Her eyes are swollen, and her heart is beating fast. It's even worse when she thinks about the broom Rui gave her.

Vivian's tough heart, which protected her from others, had finally cracked. The little witch, who had been hurt and used many times before, was now unexpectedly shedding tears. These fast, wet tears in her eyes made Vivian feel strange.

She remembered that the last time she cried was when her entire family was killed. She saw their lifeless bodies lying on the ground, with blood all around them. The human inside her faded and that's when she decided to truly become a witch.

Though even if she is a witch, the tears falling down did not stop. Vivian hated how these tears were like that of a human. Even if she was born half human and witch. She did not want her heart to be in pain. She knew that these tears falling was because of Rui. She can't help but think about him all day long. Her mind was filled with his face and voice. 

The memories made from the last six months have lingered in Vivian's head. She knows that going back to Rui with full arms was a fantasy, not reality. She did not believe that Rui might be searching for her.

After all, Vivian had no one...

No family, friends, or a place to call a home.

Who in the world would want to search for a hopeless witch like her?

(TIME PASSED)

As Vivian was riding on her broom while bawling her eyes out, feeling depressed that she cowardly ran from the man she loved. She knew that it would be best to leave Rui be and let him live his life without her. But her heart told her otherwise, wishing to come back to him.

Her long curly black hair swayed in the breezy wind. Vivian's crying dove down a couple minutes. She saw the same old forest with large trees and bright colors of mushrooms.

Vivian thought that crying about Rui and the past between them would only hold her back. She needed to get distracted and get him out of her head! Since she was up flying in the sky. Vivian turned her head down, shifting her eyes below. She saw the trees and colorful plants around. Now that she is free to do whatever she wants, she decided to land.

She slowly descended her broom down to the forest, where she spotted large flowers and mushrooms growing in the side of the trees. As her broom flew down until reaching the ground, Vivian gasped loudly.

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" She screamed in shock.

As she was about to reach the ground a string like web had attacked her! The first shot was fired in front of her eyes and Vivian swiftly casted fire with one single finger snap.

When she was on the ground the webs happened repeatedly and she defended herself with numerous spells. Her broom that was there a moment ago vanished once she snapped her finger.

Vivian looked around while flicking her fingers to ward off the large webs. Her purple eyes trailed around the large trees. With every crevice hidden Vivian thoroughly searched for the culprit behind the attack.

"You coward show yourself! Once I find you, you're dead"

When she declared her threat loudly to the culprit, surprisingly the webs shooting at her had stopped. For Vivian that did not ease her tension. She was alert with her eyes wandering in every direction.
