Project I: The Witch and The Warlock - The Gifted and The Cursed

S1: Chapter 34 - I Won't Lose

Chapter 34
MORRIGAN

After I gave Pyrrha a call, Red and I immediately left and took the bus. 

Several hours later, I had a random thought.

"What do you think would happen if someone important to you discovered you were different?"

 

"Who knows...? If that person really treasures you, they'll accept you for whoever you are." Red calmly answered and looked out of the window. The sun is starting to rise.

"Who is it anyway?" he asked. 

"An old friend of mine. She used to be my best friend back then, I wonder if the strong bond is still there..." I sighed and watched the beautiful dawn. 

"What's her name?" he asked. 

"It's Pyrrha. Pyrrha Alexandria, as I can remember..."

"Ah, it's that girl in the picture you showed me. She lives in that district?"

"Yah..."

"That district huh? I actually went there last Sunday." he said. 

"What?!"

"I was sent there to just roam around and examine the place. It also served as my day-off. I suddenly felt someone's in danger and I discovered an ambush. The girl was wounded and two cloaked figure is about to kill her. I jumped into the scene and somehow saved her. I wore my red cloak to cover my identity from these two. Then another person came in to save her, which is also an old friend of my mine..." he sighed. 

"Hey, could you show me that picture you had with her?" he asked. 

"Sure." I opened my Smartphone and scan through my gallery. I finally found that picture I had when we were at 8th grade. I gave my phone to him and showed it. His green eyes narrowed as he looked at it and started ruffled his crimson hair. 

"It all makes sense now..." he gasped and his eyes widened. 

"What do you mean?" I asked. 

"She looked really familiar to me. And I get it now..."

"Huh?" I was confused. 

"The girl that I saved was her."

"What?!" I exclaimed and stood up. People looked at me and it’s very embarrassing.  I even woke up some of them. I sat down quietly and buried my face in shame. I was like that for several minutes. 

"Do you think she's like us?" I murmured. 

"I don't really have a concrete answer for that... Well, I was able to seek for her and that means she's also a Witch but maybe I seek those hunters instead and not her. I'm not really sure." he sighed.
