A Thorn in My Side(The Owl House Oc Story)

Alleyway Run in

Renae's POV
(TW:Gun(Sorta))

Renae opened her eyes and stared in the mirror. "Whoa.." she breathed. She ran her fingers through her her hair. "It's so short." She chuckled.

Henry ruffled her hair, "It looks really good!"

She shot a glare at the cattie. She then hopped up and payed the the barber, "Thank you for the hair cut." She said and led herself and Henry out.

"So do you like your hair?" Henry asked.

"Yea! A lot!" She looked away, "Thanks for being of me."

"No problem." Henry shrugged.

Renae paused when her scroll went off. She pulled it out and noticed a text from Rosie. "Uhh. Hold on I gotta task this." Before Henry said anything she walked off and pressed the call button. She gently tapped her foot then click! "Hey Rosie. What happened?"

"Your birthday is this weekend right?"

"Yea? Why?" Renae didn't like that question.

"Well... My parents... They want to talk to you about a coven." Renae could hear the nervousness in the witch's voice.

"Why would they care?"

"Well... They heard you were a really good healer.. and they want you on the Emperor's Coven so that you can be a healer...." Renae froze.

"Emperor's Coven?" She echoed. She shook her head, "How do they even know about me!"

"Through me.... I talk a lot about you and I mentioned how you were a skilled healer and you worked at the hospital.. then they called up the hospital and asked about you. So I assume they said good things, because my dad was eager to get you into the coven..." Rosie explained.

Renae leaned against the wall and ran her fingers through her hair. "God. This is so much to take in..."

"Hey! Hey. Don't get overwhelmed! Everything will be okay! They said that it wouldn't be a full time thing. More so every few days you would come in and hang out until someone needs healing." Renae listen quietly. "My parents want to smooth the details out with you.. how about Thursday?"

Renae nodded, "Yea.. Sounds good."

"Hey Renae..."

"Yea?" Renae gripped her scroll. For some reason she was nervous now.

"Can we meet up sometime? I want to talk to you about something..."

"Of course. Now I got to go. Henry is waiting for me. Cya.." Renae pulled the scroll away and made her way down the ally.

Pain hit her wrist as she was jerked back. Before she knew it she was thrust against a wall. "What the!" She opened her eyes. Orange hair... Orange eyes. She knew this witch! But she couldn't remember where from.

"You're apart of the emperor's coven?" The witch hissed glancing at Renae up and down.

"No I'm not. What's it to you!" Renae snapped.

SMACK!

Renae hit the ground and stared up at the witch. Her cheek throbbed with pain. She stood up and drew a quick circle that healed her cheek. But before she could do anything the witch pinned her back to the wall.

"LAIR! I heard your scroll conversations! DO YOU REALLY WANT TO LIE TO ME!" The witch snapped.

Renae narrowed her eyes, "I'll lie if I have to!"

The witch pulled out a contraption with a trigger, and placed the muzzle right on Renae's stomach.

"This is a human contraption. I found it near the Owl Lady's place. I tried it out. It could easily kill you." The witch sneered, "Now. Tell me the truth!" She snapped.

"FUCK OFF!" Renae snapped. "I'm not a part of the coven!"

"But you know someone in the coven?" The witch growled.

"As if I'll tell you! I don't even know who you are!" Renae hissed.

The muzzle of the gun dug deeper into her gut. "You should know..."
