You were never finished dealing with her until SHE said so.
Even knowing this, I still went to her.
I needed her help.The night I went to her was a night full of horrors. Not only was I entering the witch's cave on my own, I was disobeying my father. The king of the seas himself.
He wasn't going to like it; but that witch was my only hope at what I wanted.
And I wanted legs. Just a pair of legs to use to run to him. HIM. The man on the ship.
