Chapter 5 - The witch

Lucy woke up with a wide smile on. She was planning to meet with the girls today and tell them about her decision. She got up from the bed and went straight to the bathroom to freshen up. She is the only child of her parents, Mr & Mrs Gale. She joined her parents for breakfast. When they were done, she went out of the house and went straight to one of the girls' house. She knocked on the door and after a while, the door was opened. The girl had a sinister smile on because she knew what Lucy had come there for.

"Come in, there's no one at home" the girl said. When they got in, they both sat down and Lucy told her about the decision she made. "Well then, it's settled. The others will join us here very soon and we will go straight to the witch".

"The witch!!!" Lucy said fearfully "I thought we were asked not to get near the witch's territory, isn't it dangerous to go there?"

"No worries, as long as we offer whatever she asks for, she will do us no harm".

Lucy's heart almost jumped out of her when one of the girls spoke from the door. "When did you guys get here?" she asked keeping her hand on her chest.

"I see you have made your decision on what you want" the girl said ignoring her question. 'Rude' Lucy said in her mind. "Yes I have made my decision but we should just kidnap her, it should not be to hurt her. I just want it to serve as a warning for her to stay away from Will".

"Okay, let's go then". They all left and went through the market to the woods. Everywhere was bright and sunny. After walking for a long time, they got to a part of the forest that was different from the other parts. It was gloomy and cloudy filled with a dark aura. Lucy got goosebumps seeing how dark it was. They continued their journey till they got to a little cottage. The color of the house was so dull and it looked old. Lucy's heartbeat increased out of fear.

"No need to be scared Lucy" one of the girls said as if sensing her fear.

The door opened itself startling Lucy while the other girls stood like they were not moved by what just happened. "Come in" a woman said. Her voice could send shrills to one's body just by hearing it. Lucy was hesitant to go inside until when one of the girls held her shoulders and gave her an assuring look. They all went inside and what Lucy saw was jaw dropping. The interior design was gothic and at the same time beautiful. It was nothing like the appearance of the house outside.

"What brings you to my humble abode?" Circee the witch asked without facing them. She sat down near a large pot mixing something. "I'm sure you already know why we are here so let's cut the chase. What should we offer to you to do what we want?" one of the girls said without batting an eye.

Circee chuckled and said "Very clever girl. All I need is just half of your hair". She was smiling sinisterly.

"We will do it. Is that all?". Circee nodded and handed a scissors to them. Before Lucy could retaliate, her hair had been cut off. They all cut it off and gave it to Circee. "Very good, your job is done. Now leave" she ordered.

One of the girls pulled Lucy's hand for them to leave and she followed. When they were gone, Circee said "Mago and Dito, go and bring her to me".
