"Are there vampires in the woods?" I've never seen one, but if a vampire attacks me...I'll never fulfill the promise!
'Then I'll never see Vin, Monsieur Houdin, Adelle, Monsieur Dubin, the Regalia, or even that bumbling idiot Maxi again!'
I paled at the thought of it. I felt nervous while waiting for the lady's response.
But her reply surprised me.
The lady shook her head. "No, little one."
In a scary sounding voice, the lady told me. "In the heart of this forest, resides a terrible being."
A being worse than a vampire?!
Blanche scooted closer to my cheek. Trying to comfort me, but I was too focused on the lady's words.
"A being so scary, they can get rid of their opponents using the blessings of the forest." The lady eyed me. "A witch."
My body froze upon hearing the lady say that.
It was the very word Monsieur Dubin had warned me.
"Now everyone, especially the people in Orléans, tend to fear beings with power up their sleeves. There was once a woman who tried to defend her land, only to end up being burned at the stake for being accused of as a witch."
