I woke up to sunlight hitting my face ugh i forgot to close the curtains before i went to sleep,my mind was to preoccupied by the stressful situation. I got up, got ready and went downstairs only to find that the child from last night had climbed up the counter and was searching threw the cabinets probably searching for food, the only problem was she was looking threw the cabinet in which i stored my dangerous potions. SHIT! My cottage wasn't exactly kid friendly. "Hey sweetheart I'm gonna get you down from there don't touch anything its very dangerous" i said slowly as to not startle her. Some of the potions in there were highly explosive, they sold for a-lot and i always liked to try to make different potions whether dangerous or beneficial.
I had to give the child some credit she handled the situation very well she immediately pulled her hands out of the cabinet and I successfully got her down on the ground where it was safe.
"Would u like to help me make breakfast?" I asked,
She nodded her head vigorously.
After i made the starving child some breakfast i asked her about her name to which she responded nyx and that she was 5 years old, i was surprised at how brave the young girl was for trekking alone in the forest at night while having to drag her unconscious father behind her.
She was absolutely adorable with dark brown hair that just barely touched her shoulders and bright blue eyes and her cheeks were so full i just felt like squishing!
I left nyx with her food and went to check on the father. I got the healing balm (which i made myself) from my medical box and some gauze and headed to my mothers bedroom in which i had left the man in the sunlight I couldn't help but admire him he was very handsome with darkly tanned skin and hair so brown it almost looked black. I unwrapped his bandages and right when i started to apply the balm i was thrown on the bed with him on top making sure I couldn't move, like nyx he had the most startling blue eyes (A.N: gojo hehe) "where the hell am i and where is my daughter" he said glaring, stars above if it wasn't the most deep and gruff voice i had ever heard, his hands were rough hand that suggested that he wasn't a stranger to swords.
I know understood why mom and grandma had falle- wait snap out of it i can't be swooning over a married man "umm if u could first let go of me i might be able to explain better" i suggested with a shaky voice .
Thankfully he got off of me wincing as he did "ill be applying this balm while i explain the situation it'll help heal your wound" he nodded "alright your daughter dragged you here last night, you were unconscious so let you in and wrapped you up. Nyx is currently eating breakfast outside" just as I finished nyx came running inside and ran into her fathers arms "DADDY YOUR NOT DEAD!!!" she said excitedly I couldn't help but laugh which i covered up with a cough. " ill be going into the village to get you some clothes feel free to help yourself to some if the food on the table" i said he nodded in response and murmured a small 'thank you'.
Just incase you missed i was banned from coming into my home village so if i needed something i had to go to the next village over which consisted of a lot of walking, at times like this i always longed for a broom but they were very expensive and you had to pass all sorts if difficult tests to get you riding license. I had been saving up for it for quite some time by selling my potions and medicines i just needed ten more gold coins which at this rate would take me two more years.
I pulled my cloaks hood over my head as i entered the bustling village. I truly loved it here the busy streets were always so full of life, but the curse upon my family keeps me from staying away from the forest for more than two days, the only way to break it was for someone to truly ask you to come with them. I got some clothes which i thought would fit him and got some silk cloth and stitching material to make myself some skirts as summer was almost upon us.
I came back inside and gave the man his clothes and drew some hot water for him to bathe in, hot water was a luxury if these humans were not so stupid as to be scared of everything that they did not fully understand they would realise that us witches would truly be able to make some amazing inventions that would be able to make life a lot easier for them, for example i had same a water heating gadget using some magic and simple engineering.
I cleaned up the table and started my stitching project while Nyx played with some toys i got her from the village.
The man came out and heavens it should be illegal for someone to look this good his hair was watered down with water dripping from them "i would truly like to thank you for the generosity you showed me and my daughter, my name is Ciaran"
" im Anastasia" i replied "and theres really no need to thank me anyone would have done the same"
Ciaran was quite for a minute looking as if he was contemplating something before finally he asked "Anastasia i apologise if this question is too personal but... are you a witch?"
A.N: as you can clearly see i can not write but bare with me. I had this story idea while trying to pay attention in economics and finally decided to actually write about one of my daydreams. Its mostly based on some of the manhwas I've read. I wont be posting regularly since exams are coming up soon and I can't for the life of me remember all the cases in law 😭😭😭
