Soul Forgiven Witch

New York

 ~3~

 

    New York City was just a breath away for Allainna and Osiris. With this physical information Allainna is filled with excitement.

    "Why so excited about New York Darling?"
    Allainna shrugs and gives her wolf friend a smile .
     "What girl wouldn't be excited about New York? The shopping, and the busy of it . I will say, the city part, I'm not too fond of but that's okay," she replied almost through her smile.
        Allainna started walking with a jump in her step and looks at Osiris. Hmm perfect timing for a race. I wonder if he would think so as well . Allainna flicks her thumb across her nose and sticks her tongue at Osiris, gradually building speed until she was running. Looking back, she sees that he has caught on and begins to build his speed up. She knows she won't win but its still fun to try nonetheless. He makes it much further past her and turns around, tail wagging in accomplishment. She let's out a breathy laugh and smiles at her friend, finally catching up to him. She taps his nose and he quickly shifts into a much more dog-like form.

 

    "You can change me into another canine but you can't shift me back into a human?" he scoffs.

 

    She sighs and bends down onto one knee, scratching his head.

 

    "You know if I could I would Osiris," she replies softly. Searching his eyes for any form of reaction.

 

    "You've been cursed. It takes time. Please be patient with me dear friend."

 

    Allainna stands up and brushes the dirt off her knees, keeping her ears piqued for anything interesting. After straightening her clothes they begin to walk and realize just how big New York City was. They walk out onto the street and look around, nothing but buildings, cars, beeping horns and a whole lot of swearing. My kind of people. Allainna smiles to herself and grabs out the leash she knew would come in handy from her bag and hooks it onto Osiris. He looks up at her with a glare and she sticks her tongue out at him. They begin to walk down the sidewalk and hear nothing but, "Watch it." "Move the fuck out of the way!" "Good god why is that dog so big?" Not letting it falter her step Allainna sees a small boutique that captures her eye immediately. There was a light pink haze cascading around it so, she walks to it, being the curious woman that she is. She ties Osiris up, pats his head and enters the small boutique named Ezmerellias.

    Allainna walks in and is greeted by the smell of sage and ginger root. She couldn't help but smile at the familiar scents that she grew up with. She hears Osiris whine from outside and can't help but roll her eyes. She begins to walk around the building, which definitely was bigger on the inside than what was visualized from the outside. She hears a small crash and a voice mumble a curse.

    "Damn pixies, can never find something better to do than cause chaos," she heard someone say with exasperation.

    Turning the corner Allainna comes face to face with a short woman, hair the color of fire, eyes a dark brown and frumpy of build

    "Well hello, I didn't hear you come in, how may I assist you?", the woman said slightly out of breath.

    Allianna scratched the back of her head and gave the obviously warm woman a smile, taking note of the multiple books and jewelry spread throughout the rather large and intense boutique.

    "Ah, I seen your shop, how cute it was and I figured it wouldn't hurt to come in and possibly explore around.", she replied back to the little woman.

    The woman smiled at Allainna, and grabbed her hand, directing her towards the door hurriedly.

    "Come, come bring your friend in, I have heard about the pretty young witch trying to help her wolf friend retrieve his former identity.", the woman remarked lightly.

    Allainna sheepishly scuffs her foot against the floor and whistles for Osiris to come in, following the pleasant woman to the back of her store.

    "So on ye' way to see Ms. Claira, hmm?", the woman asks in a thick Gaelic accent.

Allainna nods and looks around the room the woman has lead them to, with its bright pinks, blues and shelves dusted with every herb you could think of.

    "Ah, yes. She said she would welcome me with open arms if I could make it to her so here I am, on my way." Allainna quietly responded.

The woman nods and smiles while pouring the tea she had begun to make, gesturing for the young witch to sit.

    "Looks like we should get you prepared then my dear. I'm Anamora.", the woman finally responds cheerfully.
