Chapter 15 - CHAPTER 15: Conditions, Conditions

Fagget stared at the lady wide eyed, "um witches take money I thought that you were going to um I." But the Witch now squinted her eyes at Fagget, "Money yes us Witches demand Money little girl now if you don't have it than I suppose you should leave." The Witch snapped her fingers two times and behind her came out two masculine guys. "Please take her away she is bothering me," the Witch hissed while glaring at Fagget. Fagget just gulped and her mouth suddenly felt like it was glued shut, she wanted to defend herself, but she just couldn't. Then finally something managed to come out her mouth, "I have money I swear I just didn't expect that I would need to give it to you!"

The Witch now had an evident smirk on her face, "now that's exactly what I wanted to hear." With that the Witch flung her hand back and both the masculine men where gone, "money please, sweetie." Fagget now looked around the festival where her brother should have been. But he was nowhere to be found, still though she was confident that she could pay the Witch back. "I promise that I will pay you your money after you do this for me." The Witch had a challenging smirk on her face, "only on one condition," she sounded excited as soon as she said this far too excited. Instead of taking this as a sign though Fagget nodded for her to go on.

"My condition is that if you don't have the money after I feed your pleasures," the Witch now giggled in an odd way. She started swaying left and right, she then finally put on a proper smirk that would have sent chills down anyone's spine. "Not only will I bring down misfortunes toward you and your family, but I will also force you to be my helper in my business." 'Not bad I guess at least I will have a job to support us sort of?' Fagget contemplated.' "Oh, and before you get any silly ideas, I wanted to tell you that while working with me you will not be getting any of my fortune."

Fagget's eyes widened at the thought of that, the only thing she wanted at that moment was to disappear. 'I don't have any money, and I most definitely don't have a way to talk to Malon, so I make sure that he comes on time,' she mused. The Witch's grin was now almost beyond her actual face, maybe she knew that Fagget didn't have the money or maybe she was hoping that she would fall for her little trick. Fagget ran her eyes across most of the festival outside and she saw something unusual; she made a quick wink then turned back around to face the Witch.

"Yep, I'll do that little deal of yours Mrs. um Witch?" The lady grinned as if she had been waiting for this moment for as long as she could remember. "Very well little girl, very well," the Witch snapped her fingers and Fagget looked around but she didn't see anyone. 'Weird,' she mused but she just decided to ignore it, "now little girl what is your command." Fagget now felt a little weird because she had never had anyone seem to be happy to be ordered around. But then again, she was going to be paying the Witch, and if she didn't then the Witch would get even better pleasures. Which made Fagget realize what would stop the Witch from sabotaging her and getting lots of money. Nothing.

I kept looking around for anyone, perhaps maybe Iris had left me with a guardian to protect me while she was gone. But it wasn't like Iris's emotions were subtle, she was definitely upset, and it didn't seem like she had planned anything for that. But I just couldn't stop thinking that she had really left me locked up in her home with no given explanation. I sat down on the ground, similar to how I was when I was in the streets with my mom begging for money. I was still a broke a*s beggar. At that moment I realized that no matter how much sheep's clothing you put on a lion they will still always be a lion.

I sighed staring at my hands and body; I was clean I was nurtured and I was supposed to be happy. And yet I wasn't, there was always something bugging me, weather it was about my ex-dad. Or if it was about Iris breaking our deal, there was too much put forth on me, and I just couldn't handle it at the moment. I started crying tears streaming down my face and down into my shirt making me feel an uncomfortable sensation. Was this what depression felt like? I asked myself but of course I was too stupid to know anything. I always overexaggerated everything and couldn't even trust myself before others.

I was a walking talking reck, and there might never be any way to fix that at the moment. 'Mom, I just wish that you were here with me I really do so you can help me with these b*tches!' I mused. There was a slight noise coming from the door and a man dressed in all black gave me a glare. I immediately jumped up while holding my arms out like they were swords or knives. "Relax little one I just came here to confirm your name somebody sent me here," the man said with a grin. But when I heard that someone had sent, I was a bit more cautious. After all it could be my dad sending more men to kill me, although it didn't make sense why he wanted to kill me so bad when I did nothing to him.

All I could think of to ever describe him was a heartless b*tch, nothing more and nothing less. "Umm sir do you have authorization to even be here, or did you break in you do realize that I could call the police on you right?" The man gives me a satisfied grin like he was enjoying this, "little princess don't worry about that I'm just going to need your name, and I'll be on my way." He gives me a little shoulder nudge as if he was my brother or something, "simple eh just give me the name and hopefully you'll never have to see me again." That last part kept replaying in my head, 'YOU CAN'T TRUST HIM YOU CANN'T TRUST HIM HE JUST SAID HE MIGHT NOT HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU IT HAS TO BE YOUR DAD'S MEN!' I mused.

"Umm sir my name is a little weird it's gay my name is gay arson," for a second the man looked like he wanted laugh but when he saw my serious face he nodded. "Looks like I won't have to see you again then," he smirked. And with that I sighed knowing that I was okay, unless of course this recruit perhaps. Was hiding that he knew who I was, maybe my dad was just double triple checking. "Bye sir I hope you find the one you are looking for maybe you'll find her sooner than you think." He smiled at me and made what looked like a salute, "goodbye little girl I wish you to find what you are looking for as well and may luck be on your side."
