Maggie sat up and spent a second staring at the cat vomiting blood nearby. "What just happened?" She stood up surprisingly well considering her last memory was being assaulted with a knife and rusheded over to Gina. "Did he tell you where Noah is?"
Magie yelped, actually yelped as Gina flew through the air, gripped by what seemed to be an arm. Reflexively, her magic bloomed, sending roots and vines to smack and slash at the attacker. But he swiped them away with a knife, the hilt of which he used to strike maggie on the head, leaving Gina...
Maggie scowled at Gina but said nothing as they walked deeper and deep into the woods. The trees whispered to Maggie, but she tried to ignore the eldritch sounds they made. 'The tracks have stopped.' she said, and she was right. The tracks came to a sudden halt, as if Noah's kidnapper had...
Slightly confused at the surreal thing that just happened, Maggie picked up Gina and walked into the forest, following the tracks. Every tree they passed Maggie would press her hand to it, naming it and commanding it to protect them. 'The trees know things, but they won't let on about them.'...
Maggie heard Gina calling and got dressed as quickly as she could, running out of the tent still putting her shoes on. 'What's going o...' she stopped when she saw the tracks. 'Are they Noah's? Who would have taken him?' She looked to the cat for answers.
Maggie sat up slowly, wiping sleep from her eyes. that stupid cat was yowling again. 'Yeah, what going on?' asked Maggie, still groggy. She looked over to see where Noah should have been sleeping. 'Hey, where's Noah?'
It was getting late, Noah had fallen asleep next to Maggie and she had no idea where Gina had gone, so she waved a hand to put out the fire and picked up Noah to carry him into the tent. She gave Gina a disapproving look when she saw what the cat had done to the blankets. "Noah's asleep, so you...
Maggie entered the tent and was immediately disappointed to see only some blankets piled on the ground as a bed. She hated the idea of having to share a bed with these two losers. she cast a spell and smiled as some fireflies crawled out of her sleeves and flew lazily around the tent, drenching...
Maggie sighed. Noah had fallen asleep, leaving Maggie alone with the cat whose name she didn't know. "I guess he had it set up as a trap. If his plan had worked he probably would have lured me into one of the tents, I would have fallen asleep and then he would have eaten me." She stood up to...
"Oh sorry!" said Maggie, her voice muffled as she struggled against Brad's monster mouth."Am I inconveniencing you by heaving my head bitten off!" She was not in the mood for this snarky cats snarkiness. She closed her eyes and called on the names of the trees around them. As soon as she asked...
"Hi." said the boy, smiling at Maggie. "My name's Brad, do you wanna sit down?" he was sitting on a log next to a roaring campfire. Behind him was a small campsite consisting of two tents with a pile of supplies next to one of them. Maggie was dumbstruck and just nodded in response to his...
Maggie didn't know Noah and Gina were following her, nor did she know something far more sinister was following them, but she kept running through the forest at breakneck speed. The forest comforted Maggie, she knew forests well, she knew how they worked, she knew what name to give what tree to...
The cat seemed to have talked enough for now so Maggie handed the cat to Noah and stood up. She dusted her hands off. " I'm going for a walk to see what I can see. Don't follow me. It's better that I get lost than we all do. " Before Noah or the cat could answer Maggie turned and ran into the...
That wasn't enough of an answer for Maggie, but she thought that she'd deal with that later. "We're witches. I'm Maggie and this is Noah. He cushioned our fall, that's why we didn't die." She shifted a bit, putting the cat down. "Do you have a name? And what were you doing up there anyway?"
Maggie was fully aware that Noah was looking at her, but she was far too preoccupied with keeping her eyes on the talking cat. her brain was going into overdrive, listing out every spell and magical creature she could think of and she still had no answer as to why this cat could talk.
But, she...
Maggie sat on the air, heart pumping trying to catch her breath. She thanked Noah and slid off of the air cushion. She sat down and gestured for Noah to take a look at the furry thing. More specifically, a cat. A scrawny, blue eyed cat. "Where the hell did this come from?" Maggie asked no one in...
Maggie scrambled, less than gracefully, onto Noah's hands and onto the branch. She breathed deeply and climbed onto the next one, and the next, and the next. Once she had climbed a fair way up she took a moment to look around. Nothing but trees for as far as the eye could see. She sighed and...
"I'm Maggie." said Maggie, trying to return the smile but it probably ended up as more of a grimace than anything else. When they had shared their smiles Maggie turned and did a few laps of the nearby area, scanning for anything that could be used to determine their area. She craned her neck up...
The boy had magic. Maggie was so suprised that she nearly dropped the knife. Then she did drop the knife, or rather, she put it away, back in her cape. "Who are you?" she asked. The boy was obviously scared, and rightfully so as a short 15 year old girl had just pulled a knife on him. As a...
The boy spoke, saying only "Hello", and startling Maggie so much that she stood straight up and withdrew a small knife from her cape. "I warn you, she said. D-Don't try any-any funny b-business." She was trying her best to remain calm, but she was shaken so violently that she was worried she...
