The only sound was the trees moving around and the strong wind. That and her heavy panting, she was having problems breathing again, due to all the panic attacks she had lately. She was tired, and her body ached, she hadn't been running, she had been in the same spot for at least three days now, under a willow tree looking at the floor. On the first day she got trapped in there she spent the entire day trying to find a way out, but she was lost. She had passed through the whole woods at least 34 times, she already knew them by memory. But nowhere she was, rocking herself while talking to no one.

-They will find me... they'll know I'm gone, but they will find me... They won't give up.-

She had said that to herself every time the sun was setting, hoping that one day, that was going to come true, but hours passed, then days, and she began to drown in madness and insanity.

-We all know that is not true. Do not keep lying to yourself.-

That voice, was so soothing and calm, oddly familiar, but she couldn't figure out who. It sends a shiver down her spine, but she wasn't scared, what was she feeling? Excitement? Curiosity? Happiness? She lifted her head and saw them, standing in front of her with their arms folded... smiling.

-Surprise! It is I. and I know you probably hate me but,-

How could she hate them? That voice, that smile... it was hypnotizing, she would follow them everywhere they went.

-I can help you.-

Another smile.

-As I said, they are not coming, why do you still have hope? If they did not forget you, they would have already found you. And I do not see them anywhere right now. I am your only way out, the only one you can trust to help you.-

She didn't speak at first, she got lost staring at them, but after a while, she finally forced some words out of her mouth that came out as whispers.

-I trust you. Why wouldn't I?-

They looked surprised, did she... remembered? They could be lying but she trusted them, why? They laughed, of course, she's been here for months now, and she's already going crazy! She's desperate for help. I knew this would work...

-Good to hear. Now, I am offering you something; I will help you get out of here, and even to get revenge on the ones you called family. You do not owe eye anything, after all, I am just helping a friend.-

She looked convinced, and they enjoyed it, who knew this would be so easy? They will be more powerful than ever.

-Deal?-

Her eyes lighten up with hope and happiness. Something she hadn't had in a long time. This was it, her way out, they will help her. Not like the other witches she thought were like her family. She will finally be free... she looked them right in the eyes with assurance and a smile.

-Deal.-

Thank you so much for reading this story!

 I put a lot of effort into this believe it or not. 

I even skipped some ballet classes to write this and I wrote this instead of paying attention to my online classes for almost 3 months! 

Well, like I said thank you a lot, read the next part for announcements and some "curiosities" that are not exactly curiosities.

CONGRATULATIONS YOU MADE IT TO THE END
