Identity V || One Shots

Andrew Kreiss

[Fantasy Alternate Universe]

The gentle wind caresses your face as you look at the meadows from the front porch of the hut. You are a witch that has lived for a hundred years now but you look like a/an (Age) year old since witches stop aging at that age. You rummage through the pockets of your dress, taking out an old pocket watch that one of your human companions had given as a gift for your kindness. You glance at the clock's hands before putting it inside your pocket. "It's that date of the year again... I should go." You thought, taking a bag full of gold coins to your journey going to town.

As you arrived at the notorious street, known for the criminals and gangs, you lift the hood of your cloak, covering yourself from them. Nobody wanted to cross this street but you had no choice since it was the fastest way to the place you were going to visit. The first time you crossed this street, you received unwanted glances. This piqued the interest of a certain gang member who got up to you and cat whistled. "Dang girl! You look so fine that it makes me feel hot! You might want to take care of the problem in my pants." He says, swinging an arm at your shoulder.

"No thanks. Its size probably too small for my liking." You reply, removing his arm from your shoulder. The rest of his gang members heard your reply and snickered at their boss. The gang leader glared at them, telling them to shut up. "We won't know until we try." He says persistently, licking his lips. "How about you try this?" A punch came straight at his face and he was knocked down. "W-What the hell!" He holds onto his nose which fractured at the impact of your fist. "Get her! Beat her into a pulp!" The gang leader commands. You glance at the other gang members and said, "Come at me and you'll be matching with your boss." You tap your nose playfully. They all cower in fear and shook their head, letting you go.

From that day onwards, nobody minded you every time you passed by, especially the gang leader. You stop by a flower shop, greeting the lady who knew your true identity from her mother that used to serve you as well. "Hi, Emma." Emma ran towards you and gives you a hug. "It's so good to see you! Let me guess, peach-colored roses again?" Emma says, taking out a freshly wrapped bouquet. "Yes, Emma. Thank you so much." You say as you take the flowers from her hands. You grab a handful of gold coins from your pouch and give it to Emma. "This is too much..." Emma says, taking two gold coins before returning the others. "Think of it as a gift, Emma. Well, I must go now. I might be late." You wave goodbye at the girl before walking towards the road going to the graveyard.
