BECOMING THE WITCH OF ARENDALL

CHAPTER 1

While I was in the Briere house, I learned something - there wasn't any harmony in this home. My uncle had two wives, and they both had sons, with each fighting for their inheritance of the new title. But what they had in common was that they saw me as a threat; I mean, their new title was because of my father, so I'll have to inherit it when I come of age. At first, I didn't see the need to fight for it; I was just a ten-year-old girl who was happy to be sheltered and fed.

That was until I was poisoned. The poison didn't affect me, but one of my mum's old friends, who had always treated her kindly, came to treat me. It was then that he revealed a shocking truth: my mum was a witch, one of the last Zora witches. They were a clan of witches shunned by other witches because they bear children and become mothers, while witches have a strong sense of sisterhood, so they rather convert humans to witches using a blood ritual than become pregnant. And apart from that, Zora witches don't form covens, the core of each witch clan, because they are powerful enough for themselves and don't need joint sister magic.

The most important fact is that Zora witches feed on negative energy like lust, jealousy, greed, pain, sorrow, selfishness, betrayal, and false trust. He explained that because I had been feeding on the negative energy in the Briere house, my body had neutralized the poison.

After explaining all that, he gave me a piece of paper, saying it was his address in case I needed help again. On the sheet of paper was "Kael Clinic". Apparently, he was a doctor.

When he left me alone in my room, I started thinking: witches only stay in places with negative energy to benefit themselves, like me in the Briere house, or my mum in the pleasure house, and Doctor Kael. But if there was one thing I was happy about, it was that I could finally sense the negative energy around me. The jealousy had an orange-like glow, and greed had a green glow. I had been tolerating this family, but now that I have the power, I'll make their lives horrible.
