Why are you crying?” you ask. >She took a step back and looked at you like she seen a ghost, ooooo. >But she seemed to calm down as she saw how surprised you were by this exchange. >She looks into the ground. >Her mouth opens and closes over and over. >Finally, she gethers her courage and speaks up. >”You... You're a witch, aren't you?” >You're confused for a moment before you realize. ”Ah, you mean the costume. No, I'm-” >”No, I mean. You used magic to move that soda can, right?” >You were about to deny it for a moment but something about the talk of witches, piqued your curiousity. ”Yes, I can use magic. I'm not sure what you mean with-” >”You gotta help me,” she says and grabs your shoulders hard. ”There's a Paladin after me.” ”A what?” >She blinks at you for a moment before continuing. >”She's hunting me cuz... I...” >She looks borderline sick. ”I got biten last month... Last full moon. Tonight, there will be a full moon. She said she kill me when I transform.” >She said this as she pulled herself into you and looked with desperate eyes into you.
