Chapter 3

- Morgana -

— I don't have parents — I begin and see how she regrets having asked — Calm down, I'm used to it, I don't have parents because since I can remember and lived on the streets, I'm in school to get out of this, my last name is not  Nobody until a year ago was only Morgana — sigh — what happened when you found me was...

- Flashback -

I was walking back "home" out of the city and it was past midnight, thinking about how I was going to get the money for my subject book "where am I going to get 50 dollars" "how am I going to get...  . "My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of branches breaking quickly by some boots with hurried steps approaching me, I turned my body but at the moment of doing it a large body cocked with mine and knocked me down, I was a little stunned by the blow but  I quickly compose myself and I see him, he is a man of about 46 years old with a haggard and gray face with a neglected beard, he looks half drunk from leagues and the smell is unmistakable, I try to get rid of it.

— Come on baby, you like it — exclaims the man they are still on top of me.

— Release me damn sick! — I yell at him as I try to remove it with my legs, which works because of the state of the man, I manage to remove it as soon as I take it off I get up and run as fast as my legs give me "Fuck, life is bad but it's not so bad"  I think.

I still run a long stretch with the man still behind me "what resistance for his appearance..." is what I manage to think when I trip over a branch to a ground I say — Damn this can't be worse.... —  I thought bad if it could be worse, I look at my leg and I have a cut apparently when falling and it does not look good it bleeds a lot... Well I have no better idea, I'm going to die — Help!  — my last resort

- End of Flashback -

— And that's what happened — I tell him after telling how my attack happened.

— ¿Where do you live?  — It was the first thing Dayana asked me.

I was a bit confused by her question, but she still answered him.

— I live on the outskirts of the city, it's the best I could get with the money I have — she explained.

She looked thoughtful.

— You are the witch.... — she said in a low voice, but enough for her to hear her.

I didn't like that at all, everyone calls me a witch just for being in the wrong place and time.

— I'm not a witch —I say it low — Thanks for everything but I have to go — she exclaimed, getting up from the couch.

- Dayana -

I can't let her go is the first thing I thought when she told me who she is and where she lives... I need her with me.

I walk over to her and take her hand before she reaches the door.

— I have to go they need me at home ... Bye — she gets rid of my grab.

— A ... at least let me take you home, it's going to get dark very soon and I don't want anything to happen to you — I say.

— Shut Up — she tells me — The witch can take care of herself — she said with rancor... And she left.

It's barely five minutes since she left and worry is killing me, I go out to the yard of the house and in a blink I'm on all fours I start heading towards the forest where I know she's going on her trail, I sniff the air....smells so sweet

As soon as the scent of her essence reaches me, I run enough and stand at a distance that she cannot see but I can see her.

I see how she still has a hard time walking due to her wound on her leg "Foolish woman" is what goes through my mind when I saw her

"I shouldn't have called her a witch"

"She is an obvious idiot, no woman would like you to call her a witch"

At about sixty meters I see a small house, I see how she walks, with difficulty but she does it.

"¿What is she doing?"

I think when I see her move her lips, I can't hear her, wait a moment... I can't hear her!  From this distance he should be able to hear even her breathe.

I quickly approach taking long strides towards her before I can get closer I feel like I collide with a wall, but when I look up there is nothing, she keeps walking, apparently without noticing my presence, I try to break this invisible wall but it seems impossible,  she stops at the door of the house about ten meters from me.

— I told you that the witch can take care of herself — is the last thing she says before entering the house and closing the door with a mocking smile on her face.

- Storyteller -

Morgana entered with a smile on her face.

— Maybe she called me a witch and that she made me angry, and that it was true... But no one likes me to tell the truth about her to her face, right Kay? —

I ask her little companion as she took one of the essences from the shelves and took it to heal her leg in the blink of an eye.

— I know Kay, I know it was not very courteous after I was "saved" But what could I do, she realized ... ¿¡What things do you say Kay! ?  You are crazy, that necklace is hurting you, come here crazy cat! Like a witch can be a couple of a dog... Shut up, you know she can't hear me through the shield and if she's ready she'll go  have gone - Morgana stopped chasing the poor kitten, while she was thinking, the little cat licked her paw on one of the many shelves of the house looking out through a small hole in the house where I can see the wolf still outside waiting for something  what the cat wasn't sure would happen.

While in the room the witch was still sitting thinking about what her little cat said to her, "she's not ugly", the witch thought "although she's a bit annoying".

- Dayana -

I have been out here for almost an hour without hearing anything inside the house, I just observe it without further ado.

After ten minutes a little cat comes out of the house, it seems not to be afraid of me.

"Hello big dog" — I hear in my head and it startled me a little — "Yes, the cat talks what a great discovery"

"Who are you?" — I ask him.

"A friend and I don't like you a bad dog"

"Hey, I'm not a dog! — She exclaimed indignantly — "It doesn't matter anymore, ¿what do you want? ".

"Still that I help you, you yell at me, how badly trained you are, well, well, sorry, I want you to go in there" — he points to the house with his head.

"Wait.... You want me to go in there... With her"

"Didn't you hear me?" — what cat more edge — " you or not?"

"Yes, I'm going" I get up on all fours and I see the cat close his eyes and his collar shine and the wall disappear.
