Witch's Friend

Entry II

I open my eyes, to see a place that i'm unfamiliar with. It's a nice room. The walls are plain white and aren't damp and moldy like the ones at home. On top of that, i'm laying on a huge, puffy bed! it's so comfy!

I look around some more and notice more fancy stuff, like a small chandelier as a light, and expensive decorations on a desk.

I try to get up, expecting my limbs to ache as usual, but they don't. I feel completely energised and... I can't find a way to describe this feeling...

I shoot up from the bed and open the door,
to reveal a huge house of wonders. I am so curious. The cat suddenly appears on the banister and grins widely at me.

"This is your gift. You received a big house all to yourself, and your illness is cured. For now."

"T-thank you so much kitty! You're my best friend!" I smile and hug him.
"Hehe, you have a lot to learn about that word." he escaped my grasp and disappears from my sight.

Wait.. if my illness is cured, does that mean..?

I run over to the mirror in my room and look at myself.

I'm beautiful..! All my scars and scratches are gone, I no longer have bandages wrapped all around my face and body, my skin is so clean and beautiful, and i'm wearing such a pretty red dress and a big red bow in my now un-tangled smooth violet hair!

Does that also mean.. I can walk outside without rotting?

"No." says a voice from behind.

"W-what? why not?" I moan like a child.

"I do not have that kind of power yet. If you kill more people and feed me more souls, I will give you a potion that will cure you once and for all." he jumps on my shoulder.

"What's the catch?"

"You have to trade bodies with somebody"

"..."

"Okay."

"Good, now, explore the house and i'll tell the chef to cook for you." the cat jumps off my shoulder and walks downstairs. To the kitchen I presume.

I may as well explore. I wonder if this house has a library. I would love that!

Eventually, I did find a library and found lots of books that I was interested in. Like, ib, corpse party, mermaid swamp and mad father. They're all horror genre, since horror is my favourite.

I sit down in a big chair at the end of the library and begin to read.

I was reading for about an hour before the cat came into the library and told me to follow him to the dinner hall to eat, and I do so.

Once sat down, I notice that the dinner table is very long and could fit at least 50 people at it. Do I really need this much? Of course I do.

Then, I hear something big stomping behind me. What is it..? I was about to turn around when-

I gasp lightly when iI see the tall figure. H-he scares me! He has no face!

"Oi! Cook! don't scare my witch like that, she owns you." the cat scolds him. The cook nods understandably and opens up the tray. But instead of seeing food, I see bones and guts of humans and animals.

"Ew, cook! I told you, human food! Now go and re-make everything!" the cat throws a bone at him. The cook storms off with the cart, angry at himself.

I giggle lightly. Why didn't I murder my parents a long time ago?
