Witches Dine

After my mother and I meet at the hotel, we head straight to the large restaurant being used for the gathering. As we walk over arm in arm, I lean over and say "Whatever happens, don't take off the charm I gave you." 

My mother gives me a knowing smile as she says "I tied it around my ankle so no one can see it but I really don't think it's necessary. I really think they just want to make connections with you. They know just how powerful you are now so they will probably want to create an alliance."

I give her a strained smile as I whisper "Let's hope you're right..." The man at the door politely opens the door for us as we walk into the dimly lit restaurant. As soon as we step inside, the chatter instantly dies down as they all turn to look at us.
