The Moon and Stars.

1-The Beginning

   *edited*

   Cassiopeia Wilson expected a few things to happen today. She was planning on lounging about with Selena, perhaps staying inside or going on a grand adventure in the woods of the country. Perhaps they'd have a Disney movie marathon while eating ice cream, or perhaps the two of them would dress for fun and go explore the nearby creek they spent many a day splashing in.

   All in all, a normal summer's day. But Cassiopeia certainly did not expect this, nor did her counterpart Selena. They definitely did not except to be called down to the living room by Madame Violet, only to be greeted by an unknown man who seemed rather unpleasant. He was a bit tall, with shoulder length, greasy black hair, a hooked nose, and an disgusted sneer on his face. However, the biggest surprise of the day was what the man said to the girls when they first walked in the room.

   "Cassiopeia Wilson and Selena Allen I presume?" He said with a bored tone of voice, as if he knew the answer.

   "Yes, what can we do for you?" Came the response of Cass. The man cocked a brow at her slightly disrespectful behavior and tone but let it slide. For now. Without another word, he reached his hand into his robes ('Robes? In this weather?' Selena thought) and pulled something out. Clasped within his hand, were two mysterious letters, one for each.

   The girls took their assigned letters and began reading. It didn't take much before Cassiopeia began to become suspicious of this man, especially due to how absolutely preposterous the contents of the letter were.

   In that moment, Selena spoke up; voicing the twin thoughts the two girls were having.

   "A witch? Madame Violet, you can't seriously believe this man?! No offense or anything but we don't even know who you are!"

   "Selena, I assure you that everything he tells you is true. You are witches."

   Shock and disbelief was apparent in the two young girl's expressions as their minds desperately tried to piece together what was happening. Within 10 minutes their entire life had just been flipped on its head.

   Out of nowhere, Selena burst out laughing, and unable to resist the charms of her best friend's laugh, Cassiopeia followed alongside her, buckling over.

   "Oh- oh god! That's a good one, really!" Selena wheezed out, buckled over in laughter.

   "Witches?? Damn, Madame Violet, you are original! Where'd you hire this guy anyway?" Asked Cass, a goofy grin on her face as she (rather rudely) gestured to the brooding man in the corner of the room.

   "Cassiopeia! You know how I feel about the cursing!"

   "Don't curse in front of strangers, we know, I'm sorry." She said.

   Madame Violet gave an annoyed huff, and turned to the children she had watched over for so many years, anticipating the day they'd get their letters.
