Sang's POV

We walked inside, and it was as
cozy as the outside. Wooden floors and furniture, decorated the place nicely. Different smells filled up the space. I was too busy sniffing and looking around that I didn't notice when she pulled out a large book with different symbols on it, or when she grabbed a wand, or even when she took out an eyeball from a jar sitting on one of the shelves. I was a very ignorant child, ok?

Anyways, I finally noticed it when, she began to chant something waving the wand around. The eye's iris turned a brilliant purple, similar to hers and the veins seemed to come back to life.

Then she turned to me and with her wand, she zapped me. I felt tingly and then a sharp pull on my bad eye. I felt it snap out and I wanted to vomit. I kept other eye shut so I didn't have to see. Then I feel a small push and something wiggly and squishy go in my empty eye socket. Something in the back of my eyes wiggled and connected together. I gripped the cat tighter.

Trembling slightly, I opened my eyes. Surprised to find that I could see through both eyes. The lady just smiled at me amused by my reaction. Then picked up a small hand held mirror, putting it up to my face.

A scrawny, sunken cheeked girl stared back with awe. Eyes too big for her face, hair matted with dirt, twigs and leaves. Lips too big and pink, a nose too small. Her left eye splattered with blood, now a sparkling purple. The right, an emerald green.

"What-but I, I just-huh?" I spluttered, just opening and closing my mouth like a fish. I thought maybe I'm just dreaming, after all, these things don't happen in real life. I'm going to wake up in my house, with my mother. And just go back to being in pain.

"No this is all very real doll." As if reading my thoughts she smiled. The cat wriggled out of my grasp and landed on the floor. Walking up to a window sill, so he could bathe in sunlight.

" Then how? How did you do that? Why did you do that? For me a complete stranger?" I asked begging for answers, my voice tight with emotion. Wanting someone to say that I was worth something. Even if this is a dream, just thinking up someone that would help me, and smile at me with kindness was enough for me.

" Because, you're special! Just like me! I'm a witch, sweetie. Casting spells is what we do. You're the same as me. Plus I can't have my new pet be half-blind can I?"

What? Just like her? Pet?! Witch?! I just-what. Sensing my confusion, she sighs exasperated.

"You really don't know anything do you? I guess I need to explain. You see, I'm a witch, and so are you. That is the only way you could be able to get through my barrier. Other people would just see a bunch of trees, bushes and thorn bushes, then walked on. But
You see my house, so that means you're a witch! Normally we know at birth whether we're a witch or not because our parents are one. We get trained from an early age to learn magic. I suppose your mom never told you." She stares at me calmly but seriously.

" Just by looking at you, you can tell you're not trained. Your presence is running wild and you have a lot of power. If I was any less kind, I would have killed you on spot. Untrained witches can be very dangerous. That is why, I'm taking you in! You're parents are obviously not good, I mean seriously who lets their child, walk this deep in the woods, doesn't train them on things that are extremely important, or even teach them how to fix their eye!? I mean seriously." She begins to mutter things under her breath.

She then looks at me, assessing me. Then claps her hands. " Ok! Well darling, just think of me as a child protection service... for witches only. Well even if you reject it, you really can't. After all you came onto my property, meaning you will be my manservant for as long as we both live! I've always wanted a pet! Don't worry darling, I'll take care of you!" She hops up giddily.

" Now then, darling.... wait what is your name again?" She raises an eyebrow at me. I blush slightly embarrassed that I hadn't introduced myself. " Sang, my name is Sang Sorenson."

She stares at me. Then grins, " I'm Rozalin Juniper, doll, you can call me Rosa, or June. But never Lin-Lin understand?" Rozalin looks me dead in the eye, showing she was serious.

I nod my head, a wicked idea forming in my mind. " Of course, I wouldn't dare, Lin-Lin." She gapes at me, then glared." You're going to be so much trouble aren't you?" I smile at her in return. She huffs, but the corner of her mouth tips upwards, showing that she's not truly mad.

" Better yet, just call me Master!!"
