Witch Meeting

Her scream tore through the darkness,unheard by anyone. At that time the only face that came to her mind was his, making her laugh on her own stupidity to think of a total stranger in such situation.

And there she goes deep into blackness to an unknown place, to an unknown destiny.

Anuja felt that she had been falling for around half and hour, but she still didn't reach the end of this pit.

'Now I feel that I shouldn't have fallen into this witchy witch s**t.'

At the same time, somewhere deep within the castle walls a man could be seen pacing around in worry. It looked as if his life was in great danger.

That man with red hair was Ryan. His wolf had been prancing around for sometime now and he didn't know the reason for that. Only one thing came to his mind and that was his mate.

So he decided to contact Mica through mindlink.  

But she wasn't with him making him worry more and more , Mica had gone to do some of his own work and left her alone. How could he leave her alone?!

He asked Mica to find her immediately, quite some time has passed but he hasn't contacted him.

Now his stress levels were going out of control, thinking this, he leaves for town immediately in search of his precious mate.

Meanwhile, a girl falling into abyss was going to enter to reach a completely different place.

Finally, she saw a light seeping into her eyes a little too bright to let her see anything. Closing her eyes and wishing that she doesn't face anymore problems, she entered the bright light.

'Hm, it is been sometime but nothing has happened. Maybe I should see what's happening.'

Opening her eyes, she sees herself floating in air and as soon she sees this she falls on a secluded backstreet kind of area with a thump.

"Uhhhh that hurt man "

Getting up ,she patted my clothes cleaning them of any dirt remaining.

Hearing the sound of bustling city behind her at the other end of street,she started trekking towards that direction . Coming out of the street, she was thrown off balance by the lively noise and people.

Women and girls could be seen flocking around in groups gossiping about different-different things.

Trying to mix up with the crowd she tried to behave as a local, no one seemed to notice anything unusual. She started to venture around trying to know more about this place. She overheard few group of girls gossiping. From what she heard this is a village of forbidden witches. The new witch queen ,Maya , is quite cruel unjust . She believes in absoluteness of power. After death of her sister, Rose,she became too wild and controlling.

That's when Anuja collided with a wall or so she thought, falling on her butt.

"That hurt ,can't you see where you are walking huh?", I said in a slightly angry tone.

"Of course that would hurt. But it was you who wasn't watching ahead.",said a voice matter of factly.

Surprised to hear a voice in this deserted street ,she looked up to find a man in his early 30's looking towards her with a nonchalant look,stretching his hand towards me. Anuja took his warm, gentle to touch but dry hand. He was the first man Anuja ever saw since coming to this village of witches. He had green hair with golden eyes making him look like a being out of this world.

"Fine fine no need to be so mean", She said in a light tone to herself. But looks like he heard it .

Well his laughing voice was the best evidence of it.

Being embarrassed her cheeks turned pink.

'Uhhhh you can't even do one thing properly.'

Looking towards me his expression suddenly changed into a cold one. He said in a serious tone," You don't seem to belong this village. Who are you?"

Seeing such a sudden 180 degree change in his attitude made her stunned for a moment. But she regained my composure soon enough. And decided to reply in a truthful manner not wanting to die in an unknown place by an unknown person. If she died here what shall happen of Ryan…

'Wait what am I thinking? I should concentrate on my current predicament not on some handsome manly man.Uhhhh not again!'

Ignoring these thoughts she looked up into the eyes of that stranger with charismatic aura and said in a steady tone," I'm here to meet an old witch..."

And hence explained him everything from the start.

From how she first met that witch to how she landed in this village. And most important of all about her invitation.

Hearing all this he showed her the  way to the place of elder witch. It was a large house surrounded with a mysterious aura and a cute little garden.

'Ok I need to sort my priorities ,but that garden is really nice.'

Going in they passed through a maze of corridors. In the way, she saw some maids and a few men.

On reaching an ordinary looking door the man before her paused, took a deep breath and knocked. The door opened with a creaking sound.

And came the same voice that Anuja had heard that day whispering in her ears," Come in"

Moving in with slow and steady steps Anuja saw a woman in black sitting on a chair. The whole room designed in shades of black and reds with unusual patterns.

"Liam, you can leave us along with others", said the lady looking towards the man besides Anuja, who was probably Liam. This surprised Liam quite a bit but he soon regained his composure.

This action of hers gave Anuja a clear look of her features which she missed that day due to her extra large black hood. She had a beautiful porcelain sheen to her skin with a tint of red around her cheekbone, capable of making anyone fall for her.

Noticing her stare she looked towards Anuja giving her a gentle smile which showed wisdom powerful enough to look through anyone. Getting her bearings, Anuja realised that Liam had long since left the room and now she was alone with this wise woman. Looking her in the eye she said," I want your help to get back if you would be so kind to guide me", trying to be respectful as much as possible.

"Come with me you shall get the answer to all your questions even to those that you didn't ask or know about..... And my name is Reeva", saying this she stood up from her place and went out of the room. Anuja quietly followed her passing through some maze-like passages again. Descending some stairs here and there going deep and deep. This time they reached no ordinary doors,  in front of her were two large doors with writing in a language unknown to Anuja closed with snake-like structures embedded into the door, looking unbreakable immovable. Strangely enough, she felt attracted to it, to be more specific, to the thing inside. It felt like something was calling her from inside, it felt as if her body wanted to move towards it defying her protests. Seeing Reeva move, Anuja gained control on her body and her senses.

Getting close to it, Reeva placed her hand on the door and started chanting some incomprehensible words in a mumble. A light emitting from the snake figurines on the door making them look alive. They started moving around in a criss-cross pattern forming a Phoenix-like shape and then disappearing into the thin air.

Anuja's curiosity got the better of her and she asked, "What is inside?"

"Answer to all your questions and a power that belongs to you and only you", said Reeva in a serious tone with the hint of a smirk.

Hearing this Anuja looked towards the bright light coming out of the mysterious room and took her first step towards her new life full of magic and adventures.Unknown to all this Anuja moved ahead.
