"Because I heard that in a fairytale that witches would get punished for using magic in the worst ways possible. Let me get it. - Here look!" Which he did found a book that said something about witches in the . . . Is that fucking time period in the 1000's? . . . I think my guy got something way out of date because I haven't ever seen anyone getting punished for being a 'witch' well, not yet anyway. Welp, he may not be wrong that I might be witch. However, I'm literally proof that I'm just some Arachnid-demihuman. Anyways I just need somewhere to crash in the mean a while, and ever since Dominic made an assumption that I'm a witch's daughter. Most of them looked at me with empathy. All of them expect -"Ack! *Coughing noises (I don't know how to type down actual coughing noises)*" Well, before I was rudely interrupted by the coughing of Snick, him being arise from his coughing like he usually do, most of the group of boys went over to Snick to figure out to make his coughing less worst. However, this time, Grum was looking to wait no more like staring me down. For example, if I wanted to eat you, I would have done that many nights ago, so like calm down, Mr. I look like I'm taking a shit.
"We can't keep her here! She is probably a liability! After all, if she is a witch, then she might do some harm to us. This is just too good to be true! Plus what if the angry villagers will come to attack us too!" Whoa. Those are some big words coming from your brother who just called me a witch's daughter (calling Dominic addlepated [confusing something for something else aka mistaking something else]) and plus ain't yall 6 or sum? When did yall learn so many words? Or maybe you guys were learning shit in the day while I was asleep or something. As I was thinking of getting the fuck out of a situation like this which the boys were taking turns of nursing their sick brother.
"And so? She is just a child! And she needs a home! She can live with us in the meantime, especially if she is a witch's daughter. Her mother must be sickly worried about her daughter." I would rather kill myself than being with innocent furball like Neige. I now have a plan for to get the hell out of a situation like this. I started to collect different books and open them to make sentences for me. The guys looked at my words intently. Grum was the one to read to everyone, wow shocker surprised that him of all was willing to read my sentence, I should be so honored.
"Wait . . . For . . . My mom . . . To pick me up . . . Nightfall." He reads slowly and intently, which he didn't really need to, but whatever, I ain't complaining because he was the one that spoke out for the group.
"Wait, so we actually don't need to take care of her, we just need to watch over her until her mother comes and pick her up. So it shouldn't be hard." Ok so Hop believes my lie quickly like I assumed.
"Really? After all this time? She now magically knows where is her daughter is? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm so glad that we won't have to worry about someone else, but that's sounds almost a bit suspicious." Shut up, you're the one that made an assumption that I'm witch's daughter, so just hurry up and believe my lie so that I can escape quicker.
"Hey, she did disappear from our eyes once, so maybe she did some magically telepathically power with her mother to show where her mother is." Yes, Shelpie, convince your brothers to believe me. Which in unison the brothers and Neige were collecting all oft his information, eyeing each other back and forth while Snick was just trying to get any bitty information he can get right now as he still being bed ridden for his sickness.
"Well, ok. That's seems fine ar- DON'T EAT THAT!"
*CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH*
"NOO!! NOT THE GEMS!! ANYTHING BUT THE GEMS!!" The boys were screaming as I was just eating some rocks. Or so I thought. Which is kind of too late since I already ate about 6 of those gems. Which Toby and Hop grabbed their bag of gems away from me.
"Oh my lords. Just how long would her mother come and pick her up?" Grum seemed to look at Dominic, while Dominic looked at the clock they had, which always drove me mad whenever it rang.
"About 7 whole hours." Dominic said, they saying this like as if I'm a big pain in the ass. Like how was I supposed to know that I wasn't supposed to eat gems. What were so special about gems anyway? They taste like rocks except they look pretty, that's it.
"How about we spit responsibilities. Me, Snick, Toby, and Hop will be watching over the witch's daughter. While you, Grum, Neige, Timmy, and Shelpie will go to the marketplace and trade for the gems for money." Well, congrats, Dominic, you should get a medal for being team leader at such a young age. Well, as the plan continues to happen, which of course it'd go as a plan, the leader always right, almost right. Anyways, as the hours passed, Dominic, Toby, and Hop were entertaining me, and they were even teaching some more words like as if they're were actually teaching a toddler. Not after 2 hours or so, the other team that was supposed to be dealing with the gems or whatever came back with food. Which, I don't know the change of mood after the assumption of me being a witch's lost daughter, but I ain't complaining because now everybody is treating me differently than the first time we meet. I mean, it was kind of my plan in the first place, because now everybody impressions have changed now. When the midnight hit, I could just use some paper phone call thingy that I saw in the last few houses I saw whenever kids siblings were sick and they couldn't be in the same room, which have already been set up when I knew that everybody was asleep. Then . . .
"Hello? Is there anybody there?"
"Yes, Ma'am? Are the witch that lost your daughter?" Neige asked, I'm glad that he doesn't ask about the fucking fact that the voice is coming from an chimney but now they almost believe everything and I'm glad that voice is capturing everybody's else's attention too. Looks like I have now fully fooled these guys, even though they're just young, but I'm not nice enough to not take advantage of their kindness.
"Yes, boy, can you please put my child in the chimney for me. I sadly can't get my child in person, so I'll use my powers to get her." Which I was started walking inside of the chimney, Neige helped me be inside the chimney while everybody was looking at me with suspension. Which one soosh I disappeared in the sky. Of course, I actually never left the house. I still lived in the cottage, but now my reputation has changed, and I feel great of taking advantage of young kids with no guilt for my own survival means, and I'll come back anytime for any advantages I want.
