The scissors (The Witch's House)

Chapter 3: The Scissors

~Ellen (Viola)~

It has been 6 years since I left my mansion. Today is MY (Viola's) birthday and MY dad is going to celebrate it for me.

Sigh.

It feels nice to be loved this much. I am really glad that I escaped my dear mansion. And. . .

*giggles* Viola is dead. . . This is my body now.

Thank you. . . friend. . .

I looked outside the window and I can see the forest that leads towards an empty lot. Actually, that's where my old house was. After the deal was settled, I lost all of my powers and became a normal girl.

I stood up and opened one of my drawers in my cabinet. I stared at the scissors that I used a long time ago. This knife. . . This is the one that I used to kill my parents for not loving me. Now that I have a loving parent, I don't need this anymore. . .

Or I will just hold to this a little more.

I put my knife inside my pocket and noticed a pair of bloody scissors in the table where my diary is usually placed.

I don't remember cutting something.

These scissors. . . they look exactly like. . . the ones that I used to cut the teddy bear's limbs!!! But. . . why is this here? I tried to get it away from my table but it's no use. The scissors are tightly affixed to the table.

I heard a little meow.

I looked around and asked loudly, "Black Cat? Is that you?" I was not afraid. I bravely held my knife and searched everywhere in my room.

"I thought the deal was been settled" I said.

Meow. . .

As I was about to attack where the sound was coming from, I felt a strange presence. I felt a little girl's presence. The scissors from the table started to feel lose and went into my direction.

I closed my eyes. When I tried to open my eyes, I only noticed darkness.

"What the heck is going on!?" I shouted.

I heard the door open.

"Hey Viola, I was wondering if you could go down now?" the voice of my father ask. I can't see anything but I can hear everything.

I heard footsteps walking away. Wait. . . why can't I walk? I mean, why am I still here? In fact, I can't feel my legs!

Wait. . . don't close the door yet. . . don't. . . DON'T!

The door was shut loudly.

No. . . don't tell me. . . the deal was reversed. . . but. . . it was it. . . right!?

I began to lose consciousness. No. .. . . I don't want to die yet! I haven't seen father just yet!

No. . .
