The Witch in the Woods: Short Story

In the damp forest, there lived a kind witch. She cared for every creature, big or small. She was over a 1,000 years old and the world was kind to her.

She had beautiful reddish brown hair and rare purple eyes. Through the world might be kind to her, she was lonely. She wanted to love, but if a human entered her forest, the animals will protect her as she protects them.

The pot was resting over the open fire, the smell of the soup wafting in the air. A man camping alone came out of his tent he was handsome with brown hair and shiny blue eyes. Ever since his family died his grandmother wanted him to marry a girl he did not love. He wanted to fall in love with his soulmate not a random girl so he ranaway on his wedding day not wanting to go through with it its been weeks since that day. He followed the delicious smell to a clearing.

He sees a cabin in the middle of the woods, and a beautiful woman out in her garden picking some herbs. She was picking up the herbs for her meal, when she senses someone watching her. She looks in the woods and sees a man. A handsome one in fact.

Instinctually, she ran into her house and hoped that he would go away. But secretly she wants him to stay. She wanted his love. But then she realize that her stew is still on the fire she has to come out at some point.

Startled by her sudden disappearance, he walked up to her stew and smelled it. It give a warm feeling in his heart something his mother always give him when she cooks. It smells like chicken soup with a hit of spicyness in it he tasted the soup and instantly his mouth is filled with flavors that were forgotten but now found "how did she know how to cook like this?" he asked in his thoughts he looked at her graden and thought of his father. His father was a farmer hands alway dirty but washed clean at the dinner table the man has is fathers hair while he got his mothers eyes when he saw the beautiful lady he heart started pounding and when he look at her soft eyes caring for the animals it was love at first sight he then walked to her door and knocked gently, telling her "I means no harm." her heart throbbing loudly in her ears hearing his voice as she remebered his blue eyes and locks of brown hair she didnt know why she ran but it was love at first sight she doesnt know want to do what is seems like hours she got up.

Shaking, she opens the door slightly and looked at him as if her eyes say you promise? As her rare purple eyes stare into his blue ones it was like he was in a trance.

With a simple nod from him, she lets him in not just her home, but her life too. For several weeks, he keeps coming back to tell her about the outside world. He loved it when her eyes look at him in wonder and amazement. Her eyes sparkled in curiosity as he tells her more and more about it. About the advanture he had and people speaking in different langnges and different colored people to her it was a mystery but to him it was wonder.

Over time, their love grew. He learned all of her secrets and she knew his. They were perfect. They had two children: a beautiful daughter and son. The man knew he was in love. In love with the witch in the woods.
