The first week went by quick for Belladonna, she loved to learn and quickly made friends with Wea, who was very kind and friendly.
After school one day Belladonna decided to walk a longer way home so that she could walk Wea home.
A lot of the kids from their class lived in a village only a few blocks from school, so they all walked together.
Belladonna never really had friends, most people and kids were scared of her because Necromancy is a dangerous power, but none of these kids seemed to mind, for once she didn't feel alone.
Once she got to Weas home, she asked if she could come inside and see her dolls.
"You have dolls?", Belladonna asked," I only have a stuffed bunny that my mom made for me when I was born.. she's not good at knitting".
"My grandma makes them for me, I'm sure she would make one for you too", Wea implied and opened the shack door and lead her into her house.
When Belladonna walked into the house she saw Viola with two adults standing next to her. Wea's parents had a baby in their hands and quickly lead Wea away from Belladonna.
"Mom? Dad? Are you okay?", Wea asked as she looked back at Belladonna curiously.
Her parents just hid Wea behind them and stared at Belladonna.
"Hi I'm Belladonna", she said cheerfully and held out her hand to them.
The mom with the baby shuttered and the father protectively put his arm up in front of them.
Belladonnas heart dropped, she looked over to Viola and suddenly knew what happened.
"Yup she's the one the Necromancer in our class", Viola said out loud.
"She's my friend, and she's nice", Wea defended moved around her dad and stood next to Belladonna.
"Wea come here now", Her mother insisted.
"She's not dangerous okay I know that you think she is but she's not look", Wea shook Belladonnas hand strongly.
"WEA STOP", her father yelled out and rushed towards them.
Belladonna fell back in fear and a pulse of magic flew from her hands and knocked over a bookshelf the nearly fell on Wea.
Viola screamed and hid behind her parents. Wea's father stopped the bookshelf and grabbed Wea.
"I'm sorry, you just scared me sir", Belladonna said and helped pick up the books.
"Could you please leave", Wea's father said strongly.
"What?", Wea asked," she didn't do anything".
"I think it's best if she left okay", her mother reassured.
"I'm really sorry ma'am it won't happen again", Belladonna apologized.
"Just please go", she repeated.
"But-"
"We don't like you", Viola darted, Belladonna was startled by that.
"No we do like her", Wea argued, "please mom I just wanted to show her my dolls".
"WE DONT LIKE YOU BELLADONNA", Viola yelled out.
The parents tried to calm Viola down but it was too late, Belladonna started to cry, she turned to leave- but she felt a magical urge- a dark urge she tried to keep it in but it was too strong.
"WE DONT LIKE-",
Belladonna fell to the door and a magic power flew out of her and the room filled with darkness.
