(the cursed witch, act one)
THERE WAS A SLIGHT STING IN NINA'S FINGERS AS SHE HELD THEM ABOVE A LAVENDER PLANT. Natalie was beside her with a prideful smile on her lips as she watched the plant come to life, buds beginning to shoot as the scent filled their noses.
"You did it!" she cheered with so much excitement flowing through her Nina could practically feel it.
"How do you feel? Any pain?"
Nina shrugged, "My hands are burning but other than that... I feel nothing."
The woman grinned, pulling her daughter closer to her as she wrapped her arms around her. Snow had begun to fall from the sky once more, but neither witch cared.
Nina felt somewhat whole again, feeling the magic she once thought she would no longer be able to use, finally begin to flow through her body, igniting her soul. "What was in that drink?" she asked finally.
"Just a little magic. It's why I haven't been home lately. I met someone."
Nina's eyebrows raised slightly.
"Not that kind of someone," Natalie spoke quickly, nudging her daughter's shoulder. "Dating is not in the cards for me, Nia. One of the doctors at the hospital. He's like us in a way and he has all this knowledge, oh Nia, you would love him."
"Is he a witch too?" Nina asked, excited about the idea of meeting more people like her.
"Not exactly."
Her head tilted, "What is he then?"
Natalie smiled, "You'll find out eventually, sweetheart. Now, onto someone much less exciting... We need to talk about your father."
The young witch groaned. Not very long ago -only a few hours- she had wanted to know everything, but now, all she wanted to do was learn new spells that she had long forgotten.
"Your father," Natalie began, her voice going soft as she attempted to find the words. "Your father isn't someone you need to be around right now, honey. He's not going to be of any help to us."
"I thought he would be able to help with my magic?"
"I thought so too. But he's gone down a dark path since he left us. We need to stop looking for him."
Nina's blue-green eyes held a look of confusion, "What? Is he a serial killer now?"
"Not necessarily, Nina, all you need to know is that he is not a good person. He's not the same man I met eighteen years ago. It's safest for you to stay away from him."
