Metanoia

Chapter 17

The Sunny Witchdoctor

Hoseok and Jimin stood by the castles entrance, the younger of the pair bouncing on his heels as he repeatedly turned to face the large clock tower.
"They should be here by now Hobi," he whined, crossing his arms over his chest as a frown grew on his face.

Hoseok nodded, but kept his eyes forward as he and his husband, alongside three guards, waited for the carriage to come through the gates.

They were confused when Seokjin had come back to them, informing him of their coming guest, but they didn't question it. They needed this doctor. It had been almost 5 days now and the little witch hadn't moved a single muscle.

Jimins eyes widened and his arms fell neatly to his side as he heard the trollop of horse shoes against the cobblestones. Hoseok followed similarly, fixing the collar of his doctors coat and taking a minuscule step closer to his husband.

The dark carriage with its red and gold fixtures parked up in front of them, one of the guards moved forward and opened the door, holding a hand out to assist the guest from the vehicle.

"My-oh-my never thought I'd stand foot in this place again," a soft, mellow voice sung, followed shortly by a smooth chuckle.

She was tall, similar height to Hosoek, dressed in a knee length black skirt and shirt, both decorated in gold and purple lace. Her hair flowed like crashing waves, the bouncy white hair meeting the edge of her skirt, half tied up under her large hat.
If you were to ask the married couple to speak honestly, this woman was the exact image they held for a stereotypical witch. The most captivating thing however was her flawless face. Smooth, chocolate dark skin, with little white freckles dusting her nose, the same as stars would against the obsidian sky. Eyes shone white, as Yoongis did when using his powers. Beautiful. Her lips were full, painted a similar shade of her clothes. Small metal piercings decorated her face, in her lips, nose and brow. She was captivating, like a sculpture brought to life.

She smiled so kindly at the guard, thanking him as she hauled her heavy suitcase from atop the carriage, "its fine dear, I've carried this old thing half way across the world I think I can manage the few steps inside."

She took a long, chest filling breath, before smiling again and walking up to the pair of doctors.
With a short curtesy she introduced herself, "I apologise for my tardiness, the horses were tired and I requested for them to rest. I'm Miss Boo OkSun, but please, feel free to call me Sunny"

Bowing respectively, Jimin shook the woman's hands with both of his own, "it's lovely to meet you Sunny-Noona, I'm grateful you made the journey all the way to Aithne, it is very much appreciated."

She smiled at his sincere words, taking a moment to stare at the ex-prince while she held tightly to his hands. Said man was confused, but couldn't find it within himself to look away, nor to pull back his hands. He felt completely at ease in her eyes, through her warm skin.

She eventually let go, leaving the man utterly confused to what had happened, as the woman faced his husband. She repeated the action, holding his hands carefully, yet somewhat eerily, staring into his eyes as if a sea of stories were before her.

"It's my honour to be here your highness," she smiled having let go of Hoseoks hand, "I understand, from what the Kings advisor had told me, that you have a young "exhausted" witch, is that right?"

Jimin nodded, making a gesture towards the castle, and so all three made their way inside, followed by the guards of course.

The two doctors explained best they could what had happened to the witch, explaining that he had passed out before but never had he been so death like.
