Holly stared at the numerous potions and herbs lining the shelves of the store. She had never seen so many things before. They were all sorts of shades from bright to dark.
Holly walked around the shop. Her mother and father had warned her from coming into the shop, but Holly couldn't help herself. The shop was only ever here for a few hours on Halloween before it disappeared. Everyone in the village avoided it, but curiosity got the best of Holly.
And now here she is in the potions inc. Holly looked over the shelves full of potions and herbs.
She continued walking while admiring everything. She passed a few stones as well. Holly had come with money in case she saw something of interest. So far, the crystals and stones interested Holly the most.
"Are you looking for something specific darling?" Holly jumped before turning around.
Her eyes settled on a man behind the counter. He was tall and had black hair with two white stripes at the front and green eyes. A black fluffy cat sat on the counter in front of him.
"Um, I don't think so." Holly didn't know what to say as the man stared at her with a seductive smile on his face.
Holly grabbed a purple crystal and then a light pink one before setting them down on the glass counter as she took out her bag of coins.
"Will that be all?" He asked.
Holly looked around. She had no idea what all the potions did, so she took a guess that the crystals were the safest. "Yes sir." Holly murmured and he smiled. "How much?" Holly asked holding her bag of coins.
"Five." He answered and Holly slid the coins over before picking up the stones.
"Wait before you go, I have something else to offer." Holly stopped and turned back around.
"My name is Keene. That magick in you is strong. . . I can teach how to use it." Holly stared at Keene confused.
"Magick?" Holly asked.
Keene smiled as he waved his finger and one of his candles away from his desk went out before he lifted his finger, and the flame came back.
"Things like that. All you have to do is see me tomorrow." Keene said.
"The shop disappears after a few hours." Holly mentioned.
Keene nodded. "My shop does disappear, it's part of the glamour but I can come and meet you. How about the willow tree? Noon." Keene offered and Holly bit her lip. "What do you have to lose?" Keene asked and Willow nodded.
"Willow tree at noon." Holly confirmed holding the crystals to her chest. Keene smiled.
"I'll see you then." Holly smiled as she exited the shop unaware of the magick she was about to awaken in herself.
