Chapter 14 - Tit for Tat

Silvia's heart raced as they got closer to what Everest called "Bunny's Burrow". Every few steps she kept looking over her shoulder with no sign of the silver eyes. A strong smell of incense filled the air as a warm glow came from a hole in the ground. "Oh wow, it really is a burrow..." Silvia gasped. A giggle sounded around her as a door sprung up from the ground. It was the oddest thing to see just a door on a vine covered frame. Silvia walked all the way around it in awe and stopped once more in front. Everest tilted his head and then gave a quick knock. He then took a step back and pulled Silvia back with him. The door opened and they were infolded in light then in a room with no sign of the door. It was a dank cabin that glowed with candle light. There was a window behind that was full of the night sky. Stars glistened into the void of space and Silvia's voice caught in her throat. Once again there was a giggle and she turned back around. The green eyes greeted her standing mere inches away. Her dark hair flowed as though there was a breeze but there was none. She was beautiful aside from a scar that ran the entire length from her cheek to under her dark cloak. "It's rude to stare.." Bunny remarked with a twinkle in her eyes. She continued to lock eyes with her until Silvia blinked. "Manners...Right..." Bunny then exclaimed clapping her hands, "I have tea...Do you want some?" Everest cleared his throat, "Actually a blinding spell would be nice and it's why we're here...please." Bunny turned her attention to the young wolf and then smiled, "Every spell comes with a price...you have nothing I want!" Then she turned back to Silvia. "You do... but are you willing to pay?" She murmured. Silvia's mouth felt dry and she was finding it hard to speak. "What's the price?" Everest asked. Bunny giggled, "Nothing you'd miss... In fact it's not here yet." "Then how could we pay you!" Everest snapped and Bunny clicked her tongue. "I need your finger girl!" She barked and Silvia's hand jutted out on its own. There was a sharp prick so Silvia flinched and then her hand was released. Bunny then plucked a hair from Everest's head and he snarled in response. Bunny clicked her tongue once more. "Sit! I need a moment!" Bunny snapped and then walked behind a bookcase. A chair jutted behind each of them forcing them to take a seat. "How do you know her?" Silvia whispered still finding it hard to talk. "She kind of dated Ryder." Everest shrugged. Bunny huffed coming back to them. "One blinding spell...one sip per day...when the vile is gone so is it!" She giggled, "I will collect my payment at the next eclipse." "You still didn't tell us what it is!" Everest growled but she had vanished. Him and Silvia were back in the dark woods with no trace of where they had been.
