You're my magic-ch6

trigger warning for self harm. It's talked about.

A single year fell down from Cordelia's eye and landed on Misty's leg. Crap Misty made her cry. Again.

"Delia-"

"No." Cordelia's eyes filled with more tears as she stepped back from misty and wipes her eyes. "No-I, how did this happen. How did I let this happen. ME? Why didn't you tell me Misty?! Shit why didn't I know. Was it something here? Shit shit shit."

"Delia stop, stop crying. I can't take it when you're crying like that. please don't."

Cordelia nodded and calmed herself a little before carefully sitting back on the bed and lifting Misty's pants a little more and softly grazing her hands onto Misty's scarred skin. She cupped the younger witches face and whispered to her softly. "I'm going to help you okay. From now on. It's you and me. I hated that I didn't know this but If you ever need to talk then i'm here okay? Misty. Look at me." she lifted Misty's chin up so their eyes met. "Why did you do this?"

why did she do it? Misty didn't know where to begin. Or how to tell Cordelia. She had never talked about it before. No one had ever wanted to.

" I don't- I don't know what to say. I don't want to scare you off."

Cordelia sighed and looked up. "You could never do that."

" I'm a horrible person that does horrible things and when people found out they all left. This isn't the worst thing i've done Miss delia. and you'll leave when you know, I'm sure of it." The young which was close to tears herself so Cordelia decided not to make her say anything while she was feeling so emotional.

"Shhh. You don't have to say anything. Not if you don't want to. let me just help you first alright."

"Alright" she whispered back. 

" Just lay down here and I'll clean your wound and bandage it up and then I'll see to the cuts."

Misty nodded and layed back onto the pillows. "I'm sorry Cordelia. I havn't done it in a while. Y- you've ah... ya made me want to stop."

"Yeah well. as long as you're here with me that won't even be an option. I'm not letting you do this again, understand? "

Misty nodded as response and closed her eyes. " will it hurt?" 

" Maybe a little sting while I clean it but i'll do best."

Cordelia poured some disinfectant onto a little cotton bud and wiped the scab created from whe Misty fell. Then she ever so carefully bandaged it up and pinned the bandage so that it would stay tight around Misty's knee. Then she looked over at the cuts on both of the swamp witches thighs. She traced her finger over some of them before taking some medical cream from the first aid kit and applying it on each and every cut.

"This way they'll be able to heal faster. I'll say a couple week. Hopefully your knee heals then too."

Misty was still focused on the feeling of Cordelia's fingers on her thigh. She lied it. More than she should have. It was inappropriate. And the last time she felt that was in the swamp- but ti was wrong. Feeling that way for a woman. and According to her mother liking a woman the way a man did was a one way ticket to hell. But how could something that felt so pure be so sinful. If Cordelia knew any of the things Misty was thinking she would be so disgusted. 

"Mist. Are you there?"

Misty snapped out of her thoughts. "Yeah- yes, thank ya. I feel better already. Most people when they knew this they didn't bother being my friend."

"They were stupid." the older witch responded. 

Misty sat up a little to look at her knee. " You did a good job, Thank you." she squeezed cordelia's hand.

"Always."

" Don't say that?"

" don't say what?" Cordelia asked, confused.

" Don't say always. You want to be near me after you know everything." 

Cordelia didn't understand. " Tell me. I want to know." she smiled sadly and laced her hand with the other witch's. "I promise I'm not going."

"That's what everyone else said and look how that turned out."

Cordelia looked Misty deep in the eyes. 

"Okay." she exhaled. "I'll tell you."

" From  when I was younger my parents always wanted me to be more like the other kids. But i never was. And they got mad at me, they yelled at me and called me things and even hit me and i never could tell anyone. And this one night when I was 15 or 16 I was leaving chruch with my family- we'd go t church everyday because i lived in a pretty strict place. And I loved god, I loved learning about him. Until this one night I was leaving chruch and one of my friends who I reallym liked she- she asked me to meet her at this one tree we both liked climbing when we were little."

Misty looked at Cordelia, scared to say anything else. But she knew she had to. " She uhm she kissed me. And i realised that i liked her, I liked her in a different way. The next morning my momma found us in her bed and she got really mad. She yelled at me and my dad he didn't even want to look at me. They said it was a sin and god forbid it and that I was going to hell."

Misty looked down at Cordelia's hand, she didn't let go.

" I went to look my friend but she left. she had gone. Maybe she was afraid. I was too but i didn't have anywhere to go. So I asked the priest for forgiveness and convinced myself that she had made me want to do that. I kept my head down and everything was alright. Until they found out I was a witch and they tried to kill me."

Misty scooted closer to the older witch. " Miss Cordelia.  I had no one. The knife was the only thing I had. They would tease me, yell at me, hit me, BURN me. And I would go and Cut and the pain would stop."

Cordelia shook her head in disbelief. " Didn't it... hurt?" she asked softly

Misty took a second and then opened her mouth to respond. " No. No it uhm- it felt better." she smiled weakly. " I had a way for my pain to not hurt as bad. It was the only thing until-"

"Until what?" asked Cordelia

" Until you. Until I met you."
