Deep inside the burrow, the crowd knelt down, worshiping a woman dressed in luxurious finery. Countless candles were silently burning, faintly glowing stars covering the ground.
"Is this the new kid? Lift your head and let me see your face."
Iffy lifted her head timidly, but could only see a mask reflecting cold light. She was almost screaming out loud at that moment.
"I'm Heidi Morgan. Don't be afraid, the mask was just to protect my identity." The woman's voice was softer than Iffy imagined. "You're a member of the Bloodfang Association from today onwards."
"Why... can't you accept Annie?" Iffy summoned up her courage to ask.
"Presumptuous!" The red-haired woman shouted.
The other witches were chuckling as if sneering at her stupidity.
"It's okay," Heidi said, waving her hand. She walked down from the stage to approach Iffy and said, "Because there's no way for me to support so many witches."
"She, she can find her own food."
