Watching the witch burn

Watching the witch burn chap 1

Me and emily walked slowly to miss Pearl's house.  

" Emily , has Miss Pearl been helping you with your sword skills?" I ask her softly. " she has been helping me" what kind of answer is that. I mean a simple yes or no would be fine. Everytime I ask her what Miss Pearl has been helping her with she never gives me a straight answer. Emily goes back to walking and staying silent , she is definetly not the social type. " Emily , how is your grand mother ?" " she is deceased" how can she say that with out crying? Her grandmother was more than a mother to her than her real mother." Emily it's okay. I'll be with you through it all you can cry it's okay" I say wrapping my arm around her shoulders.

" I do not need your sympathy or to cry, I am fine" she says keeping her head down so that her long dark brown hair falls into her eyes. How can she be so heartless ? Maybe she is pretending she dosent care so it dosent hurt her.I take back my arm slowly . She looks up into my eyes and stops walking , I stop walking too." your right, I am pretending" she says letting a tear roll down her light brown cheek. " I never said that I only thought that" I say looking her straight in the eye" how did you know?". Emily starts fidgeting and looking back to the ground as though asking it for an answer." your my best friend , you know me well enough to know that about me and since I know that you know that's why I said it" well looks like the ground gave her a , confusing, answer." confusing but okay" I say to her she looks me in the eyes again then goes back to walking and keeping to herself.

We reach Miss Pearl's house in silence . Miss Pearl walks out with a big smile on her face. She stands on the porch and waits for us to walk over to her."I have a special treat for my special ladies maids, there is a party tonight and I wish for you two to come" she says her smile getting bigger. Miss Pearl has always been like a mother to me since mine passed away when I was six. " it would be an honor Miss Pearl, but you must let you help you get ready" I say keeping my face straight but inside I am bursting with excitement." fine fine , but you must were one of my dresses" Miss Pearl may be an adult but she is just two sizes larger than Emily and me." thank you Miss Pearl" I say walking close to her to give her a hug but then I remebered that she dosent hug anyone. As I backed away I felt as thought there was an electric current in the air.I knew at that moment that Miss Pearl was not helping Emily with sword skils.I didnt know why but I just did.
