Three months ago...

I walked through the woods, scanning the ground for mushrooms. I picked a black flower and tucked it into my pocket. I could see my veins running through my hands, pitch black against almost snow white. I ignored it. I thought of the letters on my desk, unopened. Poor Owen thought I moved for a job, sending letters every week that became unanswered. they had slowed down recently. good. it meant he had moved on. he was living his life, finally achieving what it was that he wanted.

A crash shook me from my thoughts, echoing through the darkness. I immediately snapped my fingers, floating upwards and hiding in a tree. After a second, a witch burst through the trees, tripping and landing on the mossy ground. I couldn't see her face, shadowed by her spilt dyed hair, but I could hear sobs, and see burn scars on her arms. She curled into a ball, exposing patches of frost along her legs. I almost felt bad for whoever this was, crying in a forest by herself.

I made a hand gesture, summoning a zombie. this one was named Jenny, if I was right. poor thing starved to death by herself and always enjoyed affection. I waved my wand, sending the baby zombie down to the ground, where she immediately ran up to the witch. The witch looked up, and I could now see purple and brown eyes. She extended a hand towards Jenny, who immediately took it and hugged the woman. she stiffed, before slowly wrapping her arms around the zombie, her tears forgotten. Jenny pulled back, holding out a purple flower.
"Aw, thank you." The witch smiled, tucking the flower into her hair. She took off her hat, gently placing it on Jenny's head, who jumped in excitement and dashed around. The woman giggled. "Where did you come from?" she muttered.

"Seems she likes you." I said, appearing in front of the witch. She shrieked, jumping up and falling over. I burst into laughter as she pulled herself up, mumbling under her breath. She brushed herself off and pulled out a beige-tipped wand, pointing straight at my heart. "Who are you?" I looked at the wand with amusement. "who are you, and why did you show up near my house looking like a sandwich?" "I'll have you know, I am Lauren the sand witch. now answer my question. Who are you?" I sighed. "not that's its any of your business, but my name is Scott. or as you might have heard, the 'evil' necromancer." I imitated Pris's high-pitched voice. Her face dawned in recognition. "oh, you're the guy who cursed Joey! He doesn't like you much." I raised an eyebrow. "wow, great first impressions." 

Her face flushed. "I meant-" she stuck her wand in her pocket, looking where but me. "That zombie's nice." Lauren said, pointing to Jenny, the zombie still running loops around a tree. "That's Jenny." I grumbled. "She likes everyone. Anyways, you can leave now." I waited for her to leave, but she just crouched, ruffling Jenny's hair. "You don't seem evil." The sand witch said, glancing at me. "Well did you want me to take your blood and curse you?" she stayed silent. "That's what I thought. Now leave please." I waved my hand, causing Jenny to disappear. 

I turned to leave, expecting to hear footsteps heading away. instead, I felt someone poking my shoulder. "What?" I snapped, spinning around. Lauren stepped back, holding a blue flower. "I just... wanted to give you this. As a thank you." she held out the flower, and I hesitantly took it. surprisingly, it didn't wither away, instead staying as a bright blue flower with shimmering petals. I opened my mouth to thank her, but no words came out. she smiled, finally turning and leaving. I could hear her humming as she disappeared. I tucked away the flower away, starting to head home. She was just like him...

I hope she comes back.
