Chapter Six

Please enjoy your next chapter.

"Witch Market. We are here. Looks like this rainbow troll bridge was useful." Ron muttered.

"The both of you. Do not buy or touch anything there. Its dangerous!" Victoria said, wrapping her arms around Ron's arm. "You are the best!"

Ron smiled and nodded at her. "You too."

I rolled my eyes and huffed. "Can you both express your feelings for each other later? We have more important matters to do here."

The Witch Market was not a pleasant place to go. It was filled with people (witches) and they were shouting at each other to promote their business.

As we walked along the crowded path, witches yelled at me to buy one of their spells. I just shook my head and smiled at them. Suddenly I could feel someone's hand on my shoulder. I gasped and turned just to see a beautiful witch grinning at me.

"Care to try some of my love potions?"

"No thank you, ma'am. I should get going."

"Eep! Wait. I see that you are a half witch. You need something on your way to King Randy's lair." The lady took something out from her bag and handed it to me. "Take it."

There was a vial on her palm. "What...is it?"

"A love potion. You may need it later. Also," she took another vial out from her pocket. "This is dragons blood."

"Why must I take those?"

"If you don't deliver these two vials to King Randy and force him to drink the liquid from both of the vials, your quest will not succeed."

"What are you trying to do!" I growled. Ron and Victoria had disappeared from my sight.

"Trust me. If you give these two vials to King Randy, you may take the potion you want and leave."

"How did you know about my quest?"

"Ah...that...you don't need to know. Whoops, you've just lost your friends."

"Why do you want to help me? Who am I to you?"

The lady smiled. "A secret. When you are in trouble, call my name and I will appear. Call me...Lauren."

She handed me the two vials and waved her hands. Suddenly the world seems to spin, faster and faster. The scenery changed from gray to green. Market to...forest? Where the hell was Ron and Victoria?

"Hey pretty girl."

I turned and saw a boy about my age standing in front of me. He was very handsome. His features was perfect. High cheekbones, a lush mouth, a sharp nose and sparkling green eyes. His skin was smooth and fair. He had dark brown hair like mine.

"Who are you?" I asked. My heart skipped a beat when he stepped closer to me. "Your friends are near the lake, kissing. Just forget about them and come with me."

I could feel my eyes drooping and my mouth widening into a smile. Suddenly I realised that he was using charmspeak.

"Sorry. I can't. Please take me to the lake."

"You are tough for a girl. You managed to avoid my charmspeak. Good. So, you are in a quest now? May I follow you?"

"No." Yes! My mind seemed to say. Then a thought struck me. What if he was the second person that was supposed to follow us in our quest?

"Uh...fine. You may follow us. Now, take me to the lake."

"Sure, beauty queen." he whispered into my ear. His breath tickled my earlobe, making me shiver.
