A crowd of children look down at an injured Vatu, hunched over on her knees the head witch Outis looks at his arm, turned black like Cole, scabs sizzling, his arm shrunk to half its normal size. She sticks her hand out over Vatu's arm and starts to chant a spell. Green light starts to shine over his whole side.
Vatu's eyes clenched in pain, brandishing a psychotic grin, he starts crying a little, laughing even . "no no no I can still do It, I can, I promise". Vatu struggles to move even an inch of his whole body; he laughs louder with more tears falling down.
"Vatu Stop... you tried and"
"And I failed, I know that! But, but, I can try again" Vatu pains to lift up his head.
"Vatu you did not fail"
The green light intensifies as the arm starts to regenerate.
"Failing is not the end, it's the beginning of being a witch '' Everyone of the kids circled around the two Sally making sure everyone stays back and looks at Vatu with a strange expression of pity.
"That's what each and every one of our family is. Failures, freaks, and monsters, But most of all different and what you did is something to be proud of because you're different."
His arm almost fully healed back to normal size but there's still, more than half his arm is covered in bruises black like Cole. Outis gently grabs under Vatu's arm lifting his hand near her face.
"Never stop trying Vatu, keep trying and never be afraid to be different always change and grow because there's so much left for you"
The green light fades ,traces fly upwards in the shape of bubbles with black outlines. Outis after talking says two words of an incomprehensible language and kisses the top of his hand.
"Okay everyone I think we all deserve some me lunch"
Outis pulls out some bandages and wraps Vatu's arm. He looks up at Outis blushing and sniffling tears wet on his face.
Sally grabs the kids "Come on everyone vatu will join us soon" everyone but Reyna who was standing apart from the crowd as if he didn't care at all, because he didn't and was angry at the attention Vatu got. The other kids waved at vatu as they were led away to the house, Reyna follows after sneering at vatu.
"it's a little early for lunch isn't it sister Sally"
Brosac the calm light brown skinned boy asks "I'm not complaining we never eat enough anyways" says the skinny girl with baggy clothes and long blonde hair falling down her waist "Soyo don't talk like that it's rude" "really Koil" a tall skinny boy with purple hair long in front covering his left eye. "You suck up" Soyo says to Koil "and you're lucky I like you so much because If you weren't so boney Helga would be able to tell you apart from the food when I mix you in."
Haha Sally laughs hard " that's really funny Koil but none of you could tell what Helga feeds us all not even Helga" everyone looks at each other with confusion "Sally what does that mean" the cute white hair Quillo asks "ahh well Quillo it mean be grateful Helga's a great cook" she smiles wide showing her pointed teeth.
"Finally HEY HELGA WHERE YOU AT"
Quillo gulps as they enter the large room in the house that acts as the mess hall.
Empty and quite; a little small but to be expected. The room looked as if it was built buy hand out of scrap wood, the inside room acting as everyone's dining area inside fits 6 wooden bench tables and to the left is a wide counter built into the wall looking inside you see a rustic kitchen with a lot of ominous looking utensils that any normal person saw them they call torture devices. As Sally left she walked through a door right by the counter. "HELGA I know you're in this bitch!"
The kids all looked at each other and Soyo started to giggle " WHAAAAT I'M BUSY" a louder deeper voice bellows from the kitchen the kids shocking the kids shutting up Soyo with all their hair blown back like they've been on a roller coaster they stand still paralyzed as they listen to a muffled conversation. After a few seconds Brosac and Reyna walk to one of the tables when that happens Koil nods to Soyo and Quillo but as they take a single step.
"SMACK" the three look to their left slowly, seeing at the top right corner of the counter window, a massive hand wearing dirty gloves.
The kids pause with their legs in the air staring at the window watching as a face lowers slowly from the top of the window.
"Oyyi it's my little children, why are you all over there come here give me a hug all you"
In the the window a plump woman with a wide frame that almost fills the entire window, soft features and a kind face, short straight blonde hair with a cowlick in front a very sweet Irish accent exudes a motherly kindness "what are waiting for squirts, get your arses over"
Quillo the littlest quickly starts running into her open giant arms, Koil blushes and rolls the bottom of his foot arms crossed tightly behind him, Soyo tilts her head and sighs moving her lifted foot over towards the counter.
"Sister Helga!" Quillo says, jumping into her arms.
"my little snowflake Quillo, doll, how are you today:)?"
" I got a new brother today he looks so cool and and, scary, and is funny and and, not to older that me, isn't that cool Helga"
"My my that is cool snowflake" Helga holds her gently as Quillo talks to her when she holds Quillo on her left arm. "And the rest of you get over here you know you don't hug your sister Helga No Food" she says in a serious voice. "and you my boy Koil stop dragging your feet give us a hug"
"gosh sister Helga I'm coming" Soyo and Koil slowly walk into her arms "Iya nevera get tired of seeing my handsome boy and you too Soyo, but lass you need to eat more or you'll never grow out of this scrawny little puke thing you got going." She hugs all three of them tightly.
"NOW is that every one who wants to eat. ya"
The two boys Reyna and Brosac sigh. "fuck I'm pretty starved right now"
"and this is lunch so were not eating any more for a while"
They both sigh loudly again as they stand up from the bench. The three crowd around Helga Quillo petted by Helga as Soyo leaned on Koil telling Helga how good he was during the last lesson.
"Ha that good to her lass and I know you have potential to Soyo the means to becoming a great witch is being unique. remember this and I'll have yours food ready in just a moment"
"Wait sister we also want a hug" just as Helga was Turning around to walk into the kitchen so sees Reyna and Brosac standing outside the counter with arms out waiting to be hugged.
"EEEEEEEEIIIIY my little beautiful boys!" she pulls them both close to her bosom both almost crushing them and suffocating them.
"ahh see now was that so hard 6 plates coming up ;)"
Helga drops them to the ground and walks into the kitchen.
"Hey idiots, are you alive?" Soyo asked them.
".... (HUFF HUFF)" they both re-contorted their bodies to normal. Brosac grabs the top of the counter and lifts himself up as Reyna lifts his hand up pleading for assistance "hmph stupid boys you knew that was gonna happen" Koil grabs his hand and lifts him up.
"I'm... too... cool for hugs" Reyna says
Everyone, even Brosac breaks out in laughter.
"Come on Reyna let's go sit down" everybody walks towards the bench tables when the cafeteria entrance opens.
