"I don't mind," answered Penelope for Damien to clap his hands together.
"That is lovely. Penny will come here from tomorrow and if needed I can set up a place for both of you to meet so that her presence doesn't draw any attention. Have you sensed any black witch other than yourself pass by here?"
Bathsheba looked at her door, "There are many who pass by with the black market next to this village but no one dares to stay. And on another note, councilman Damien. You should know that there have been deaths. The recent one took place five days ago," the black witch smiled, and the human tongue which she had posed until now turned to a hiss as the snake-like tongue came out of her mouth before sliding back in.
