With her mother who almost reached the spot where she was, Penny closed her eyes, trying to calm her mind and the raging of her heart which had been panicking for a while now. When she felt she was much calmer than before, she opened her green eyes to see her mother standing in front of her.
"Did I tell you that your father had green eyes too? Just like yours, so very rare and beautiful," her mother commented, playing with the knife that she had been holding in her hand.
"No, you didn't but I guessed that was the case. That I had taken after him and not you," Penny replied back, pulling her leg again in an attempt to escape from the binds of the roots.
"What do I hear in those words? Are you happy or sad about it?" her mother tilted her head, a grin on her lips which looked more hideous in the appearance of the black witch.
"I am definitely happy about it," They both knew it therefore she didn't see why she would have to beat around the bush.
