Chapter 7: The Little Witches
My name is Zoe Farmiga, and a week ago I was a normal girl like any other American girl, but today everything around me has changed.
It's cliché, but like all clichés, they're the truth.
Your life can be turned upside down overnight, or it only takes a split second.
On that day, Charlie and I were preparing to perform the 'mending ceremony', and just as the ceremony began, Charlie bled to death.
The official version of Charlie's death was a cerebral aneurysm, but the doctor said that he had never seen such a case before, and the blood was all over the sky.
I'm scared, I'm confused.
At this time, my mother told me that I was a witch with the same disaster genes as my great-grandmother.
This is not the wizard in Harry Potter, but the evil witch who disgusts all believers.
It wasn't long before I was taken from my home, and my parents ruthlessly abandoned me as a demon and went to this strange school for witches.
In addition to a quirky housekeeper, there are three girls in this school who are similar to me, and they are also students here, which means that they are witches like me.
I also got to know the school's principal, Cordelia Fawkes, who was explaining to me the history of the witch school.
In the living room of the witch school, Zoe sits around with Cordelia, the principal of the witch school, and three other witches.
Cordelia spoke after giving Zoe a brief introduction to the school's history, "In the heyday of this school, it used to be the home of sixty girls, but as time went on, the number of them gradually decreased, and the witches were about to become extinct, Zoe. ”
"Why?" , Zoe asked, with a slightly sad expression.
"Many people who know they have witch blood, choose not to have offspring." , explained Cordelia.
"And what is a superwitch?" Zoe continued, remembering that Cordelia had just mentioned the Superwitch several times.
"Ordinary witches are born with several talents, but there is such a witch in every generation who is born with countless talents, and some people say that she has all the talents, and this is the super witch." Again, Cordelia explained, her expression very complicated at the same time.
"Are you a superwitch?" , Zoe asked, in her opinion, since Cordelia was the headmaster of the witch school, then she should be the most powerful witch.
"No, I'm just like you, just an ordinary witch and teacher, and I'm here to help you identify your talents and teach you how to control them." , Cordelia said.
"She means suppressing them." , Queenie, a black girl who was as fat as a hill sitting across the seat, interjected.
"It's not suppression, it's control." , Cordelia retorted.
"She thinks it's still the 17th century." Madison Montgomery, who was wearing a fur coat and looking very standard, next to Queenie, a fat black girl, said disdainfully.
"No, our community is not safe at the moment, and there are still many families who don't know anything about their ancestors, and many girls are unfortunate enough to not find us or we haven't identified and found them in time."
"Just like that poor girl in Lafayette a few months ago, Misty Dai, who is only a little older than you, has the gift of resurrection, Misty can move between life and death, pull her soul back from a desperate situation, and return to this side, back to the Yang Realm."
"For some, it's like the resurrection hand of God, but for others it's heinous witchcraft."
Cordelia said with some sadness, she couldn't understand why people hated witches so much, and many witches were innocent.
"And what happened to her?" , Zoe asked, looking at Cordelia with some curiosity.
"It's the same ending as women like us for centuries...... ...... was burned alive at the stake," Cordelia said with a heavy heart, silencing the four girls, who had been in different moods, apparently stunned by Cordelia's story.
"It's a modern society! How can they be lynched! What about the law! Hearing Cordelia's answer, Zoe exclaimed that she had only seen the punishment of burning at the stake on TV and in books, and she never expected that someone would use this kind of punishment now, and it was such a groundless execution.
"Devout believers don't pay attention to the law, in their hearts there is only one law, and that is the Bible, and witches are evil beings that must be destroyed, and we are now trapped on all sides, ladies, our lives, and even our existence, are always in danger, remember this, or face extinction." Cordelia said earnestly, hoping that the four little girls in front of her would recognize their current situation.
As Cordelia's voice fell, the atmosphere in the entire living room fell silent, and none of the five said a word.
"Ding Dong!"
Suddenly, a doorbell rang, breaking the eerie quiet atmosphere of the living room, and at the same time startling the four girls, who looked out the window to see who was visiting at this time.
"Wow, that's handsome!" Madison let out an exclamation of surprise.
I saw that outside the door of the manor, a handsome young Asian with black and white hair was standing outside the door.
"I'll open the door." Seeing that it was a handsome guy visiting, Madison suddenly said with a spring heart, and walked towards the door with long legs, and the black fat girl Queenie next to her and Nan, who had not spoken, also followed.
Seeing the three girls go out to open the door, Zoe immediately followed.
"Wait!"
Looking at the four girls who were rushing out, Cordelia stopped them, but Madison and the other four girls didn't listen at all, and they disappeared all of a sudden.
Cordelia was anxious at this moment, and immediately followed, although she didn't know the Asian young man outside, she had an extremely strong sense of crisis after seeing this young man for the first time.
This feeling was like facing her own superwitch mother, no, it should be said that it was stronger than the sense of crisis her mother gave her, which made her very uneasy and nervous.
Outside the door of the manor, Ye Siyu looked at the manor in front of him with a slightly curious expression, he had been asking the red queen to turn on the call function of Zoe's mobile phone since he found Zoe, and all the words that Zoe and the others said in the living room were listened to in Ye Siyu's ears word for word.
He didn't expect that there would be witches on Earth.
Although it is not 100% confirmed, through the spiritual power of these people who are several times stronger than normal people and their flawless dialogue, Ye Siyu can be sure that they are really witches, not some mental patients.
"Hey, handsome guy, who are you looking for?" When Ye Siyu was thinking, the door of the manor house opened, and Madison, who had blonde hair and a delicate appearance, came to Ye Siyu and asked through the iron door.
While speaking, Madison looked at Ye Siyu, a handsome guy, with her beautiful green eyes, this appearance, this temperament, was exactly the same as the prince charming in her dream, and in an instant, Madison felt that she was in love.
At the same time, Zoe, Queenie and Nan also chased out, and they were also attracted by Ye Siyu's handsome but temperamental face.
Soon, Cordelia followed.
"Who are you looking for, gentleman?" , Unlike the four little girls who were attracted by Ye Siyu's appearance, Cordelia, who was older and more knowledgeable, was not attracted by Ye Siyu's appearance, but was more vigilant.
Although Ye Siyu has suppressed his temperament with the breathing technique, it doesn't seem to be anything special, but this is indeed the case for ordinary people, and it is not good for people with strong spiritual power like witches.
Especially for Cordelia, a witch whose spiritual power is a thousand times that of ordinary people, she can see at a glance that Ye Siyu has an extraordinary temperament and is definitely not a simple character.
"Looking for you." , Ye Siyu smiled lightly and replied after smiling at the four girls.
"Looking for us?" Hearing Ye Siyu's answer, Cordelia frowned, and then continued to ask: "I don't know what this gentleman is doing with us?" ”
"I'd like to know something about witches from you." , Ye Siyu smiled lightly.
At this moment, the faces of the five people, including Cordelia, Zoe and Madison, suddenly froze, they didn't expect Ye Siyu to tell their true identities.
"Witches? Are you mistaken, we are a girls' school here, and there are no witches. Cordelia replied with a slightly stiff expression.
Although this is the stronghold of witches, even then she does not dare to say the word witch in a blatant manner, knowing that this word is taboo in the West.
"Really?" , Ye Siyu asked with a smile.
"Yes, sir, you must be mistaken, if nothing else, I would like to ask you to leave as soon as possible, we will have another lesson later." Cordelia nodded in affirmation.
"Really? That's a shame, I thought I had found a new partner. Ye Siyu said with a little regret.
"New partner? What new partners? Zoe on the side asked curiously.
"Superpowered buddies, of course." , Ye Siyu smiled, then raised his right hand, and under the surprised gaze of the five Cordelia, an ice-blue flame appeared in Ye Siyu's hand.
The flame did not give them a sense of warmth, but rather a cold heart, and they felt that if they were burned by this flame, they would definitely be frozen into ice sculptures.
"This ...... This...... This ......"
At this moment, even Cordelia was shocked, she didn't expect that Ye Siyu could actually release such a strange flame, and it was so blatantly released.
Cordelia immediately looked around to see if anyone had seen this, and if anyone did, it would probably cause a big commotion.
It's just that what surprised her was that those passers-by on the road seemed to be completely blind to what was going on here, completely ignoring the ice-blue flame in Ye Siyu's hand.
"I've cast illusions on them, and they can't see what's going on on our side." , Ye Siyu smiled and said, "I don't know if I can learn something about witches from you now?" ”
Cordelia also knew that she couldn't refuse Ye Siyu, and she didn't want to refuse Ye Siyu, she wanted to know what was going on with Ye Siyu, why he could use this weird blue flame, many questions were entangled in her heart, and she immediately opened the iron door and invited: "Of course, this gentleman, please come in." ”
Seeing this, Ye Siyu shook his right hand, and the flame disappeared in an instant, and the four daughters of Zoe and Madison suddenly felt that they had returned from winter to spring, and the cold was gone, and then followed Cordelia into the manor.
"This handsome guy, what's your name and where are you from?" After entering the house, Madison asked with one of Ye Siyu's arms, and Zoe and the others next to him also looked at Ye Siyu with curious eyes, and even Cordelia, who was walking in front, pricked up her ears, and they all wanted to know who Ye Siyu was.
"Huaxia people, you can call me Siyu Ye." , Feeling the girl's soft white rabbit clinging to his arm, for this kind of welfare sent to the door, Ye Siyu is not Yanagi Hui, not to mention that Madison is also a little beauty, so he did not resist at all, but enjoyed it very much, and let Madison hold his arm.
"Ye, are you also a witch?" , Madison, who knew Ye Siyu's name, asked.
"Witches? No, I'm not a witch, according to you in the West, I'm a wizard or a magician. Ye Siyu said with a smile.
"Wizard?! Could it be the wizard in Harry Potter? Hearing Ye Siyu's words, Madison asked curiously.
As a Western girl, all about wizards and magicians comes from Harry Potter, a world-famous book, and now when she hears Ye Siyu say that she is a magician, this is the first thing she thinks.
"Sort of." , Ye Siyu replied with a smile.
As she spoke, Cordelia led Ye Siyu to the living room and invited him to sit down.
Madison, who was holding Ye Siyu's arm, did not shy away from sitting directly next to Ye Siyu, her delicate body was tightly attached to Ye Siyu, obviously she had been attracted to Ye Siyu, as a native American girl, she was not as shy and introverted as an Oriental girl.
"Madison! Sit tight! Seeing Madison behaving like this, Cordelia immediately frowned and scolded, although she knew that Madison's character was like this, she still didn't want Madison to do this, you must know that she had not yet confirmed whether Ye Siyu was friend or foe, and whether it was harmful to the group of witches.
"You care so much about me, I like it." , Madison didn't care about Cordelia, instead of doing a good job, he made his body closer to Ye Siyu, and then made a provocative look at Cordelia.
With a rebellious personality, her least favorite is Cordelia's housekeeper character.
"What a bitch." , Queenie, a black fat girl sitting on another stool, said disdainfully.
"What are you talking about, you dead fat pig?!" , Queenie's words blew up Madison at once, and immediately got up from the couch and glared at Queenie, no matter what girl she is, she doesn't like to be called a bitch.
Not to be outdone, Queenie on the other side stood up and scolded back: "That's what I'm talking about you bitch!" ”
"Is this really okay?" , Looking at the two arguing, Zoe, who was not familiar with everyone, asked timidly.
"Just get used to it, they've always been like this." , Nan Nan on the side said calmly.
