Chapter 19: Ms. Victoria
Thea's POV
I find myself standing about to knock on Ms. Victoria's front door, the sun barely rising. I hold in my hands the green, tattered book that she loaned me just yesterday. I spent the entire evening the night before reading each chapter and studying each picture and diagram held in its pages. I was absolutely mesmerized by the information, healing through plants, both common and unknown, and most importantly, healing through magic.
Ms. Victoria said she could teach me how to become a healer, which would mean using magic. But that should be impossible for me, for a human. I have to know more; I want to learn how to become a healer. But the guilt of not being able to tell Ms. Victoria that I have no intentions of staying in the village after the next full moon is what is keeping me from knocking on the door.
