Forever Isn't Always

Chapter 4

We walked into the quiet hall of her house, still following her. All of a sudden Lisa said,

"'what kind of powers do you have and how do we know you can help?'' The lady turned round and looked at Lisa curiously. Standing opposite each other like that, I could see how similar they looked. Lisa was brown skinned, had very curly hair that stopped at her shoulders. She had big doll eyes and a very shapely figure with plump reddish pink lips, but she was shorter. I looked at Jasmine too and glanced at the figure I had described earlier. Lisa had this innocent look while Jasmine looked bold and sassy. 

“You don't get to find out-” Jasmine replied without a hint of emotion then she continued

“- You can wait in that room on the right" she said referring to a very comfortable and homely looking living room. “ I could also get you some tea if you want”

Lisa agreed like she was under some sort of spell. She left us after Jasmine made her some tea.  

“ Follow me” she said as we walked down a long corridor

“ Why didn't you want Lisa to be here” I asked concerned

" Whatever I tell you is between me and you after your questions are answered you can choose to tell her or not though most people choose not to''

“ Where are you from? You don't look from around here”

“I'm from Salem”

"Wait, Salem! Like the witches of Salem'' I said backing away. Now afraid, I had heard that they used humans for rituals but they were all burned at the stake four years ago. It happened far away so how was she alive and how did she get here? I didn't approve of them being killed but was she a ghost

“ The rumors aren't true Clara. Yes, people were burnt at the stake. Some were just innocent humans and others just good witches. There are bad ones but they didn't catch them. My best friend was burnt but I was able to escape. I don't mean any harm, I came by boat". She said and it looked sincere and i actually believed her. 

We entered a small room, it was painted white all over and had white furniture too. It had a peaceful essence about it. It was the equivalent of my garden. You could come here to think or meditate.

I looked around for a minute, It was beautifully decorated with jewels and crystals

‘’Sit down'' she said nodding her head to two beautifully carved wooden chairs. I  did as I was told and the chair was way more comfortable than it looked. It felt like I was sitting on feathers floating up in the clouds. She then sat opposite me and said, 

‘’ You shouldn't be excited by things like this, you are a princess'' I looked at her and said

‘’ So what now?''

‘’Oh… you want to get straight to the point. sure''
