The Trio
“It’s getting darker out here, are you sure this is the way back to the cabin?” Alex said in a scared tone.
“I’m pretty sure.” said Wendy.
“Well what’s that light up ahead?” Marcy said while pointing to a faint light that was about ten feet from where they were standing on the path.
The girls started to pick up speed thinking that the light was the cabin they have been searching for all night.
“That’s the not the cabin.”said Wendy
Instead the source of light was a lantern hanging from a log cabin that had vines growing on the sides of the wooden walls.
“Can we help you?”
All of the sudden, three beautiful women were pointing their wands at the girls and stepping out of the darkness to greet them.
“Sorry! We were just trying to find our way back to our cabin.” Alex said.
The women put their wands away.
“Sorry we didn’t mean to frighten you ladies, we just got back from looking for ingredients for our potions.” said the shortest lady.
“You’re witches!?” Marcy said.
“You have nothing to fear, we’re nothing like the stories that have been spreading around town, we are just trying to live our lives without riots in these woods.” The tallest witch said.
“Sorry we didn’t come here to intrude on your ladies’ cabin, we thought this was our cabin.” Wendy said.
“Would you girls like to stay with us for the night? I’m Raven, this is Ebony, and the tallest one is Mona.”
“Are you sure we wouldn’t be intruding?” said Marcy.
“Not at all! Come, let’s all step out of the cold.” said Ebony as she started to walk into the cabin.
Marcy laid their on the witches’ hard wooden cabin floor talking to Raven that night.
“You know, we’ve never believed the stories our town has told us, about you witches being dangerous.” Marcy said, “we’ve actually thought you guys were more magical and beautiful than dangerous.”
“Have you ever thought about becoming one of us?” Raven said.
Marcy stared into Raven’s dark, purple eyes and said with confidence, “Yes.”
