C3 Am Damien …. Pretty witch

I was in the dinning hall having my breakfast quietly when l suddenly heard someone call me a pretty witch. I lifted my head and saw the guy that just arrived a few hours ago looking at me with a stupid grin on his face.

“Excuse me?” I asked looking at him dead in the eyes.

“I said your one pretty witch.”he repeated with a smirk on his face. “You just arrived here boy don’t go looking around for trouble. And since you called me witch u must have already heard l have bad luck, aren’t you afraid l would curse you for life.” I said while glaring daggers at him.

“Ha cute” l said while moving to her table and having a seat. “Don’t worry about me, l think l already have enough bad luck. Look at me am not an orphan but my own father brought me here.” He said while taking my toast and eating it.

“And do l look like am dying to know? You must be one ungrateful kid, no wonder your own father bought you here, just look at u eating my toast shamelessly without asking for my permission.” I said angrily snatching my toast right out his stupid mouth.

Damien looked at me and grinned coldly. “You must have a death wish huh witch? Do you even know who l am ?” I looked at him not caring at all and stood up getting ready to leave. Before l left the dinning hall l turned around and sneered at him “Again like l said, do l look like am dying to know. I don’t care idiot.” And walked out with a sarcastic expression.

Damien was left alone at the table. But he was more curious about this girl than angry at her. “Hmm she really had the guts to call me an idiot. We shall see about that.” And quickly followed her outside.

When l arrived at the hallway, l saw her going outside and towards the small forest surrounding this orphanage. And she looked like she was in a hurry and l got more curious and started following her .

Halfway into the forest, l see her stop walking and l quickly hid behind a tree. “I think she felt like she’s being followed.” I thought. After awhile l hear her foot steps so l peep and see her walking so l quickly followed .

We walked for about 40 minutes and l was really getting impatient. “What are you really up to pretty witch?” I mumbled . And just when l was finally getting tired, I gasped at what l saw.

There was a lake, it was so beautiful and calming. There were trees surrounding it and wild ducks swimming too. I saw Nora sitting on the ground, not too close to the water but close enough to touch it. She had a piece of bread in her hands, and then she started throwing it piece by piece towards the wild ducks. And they all quickly surrounded her for more.

“Sorry my babies, mommy was late to bring you breakfast. Some idiot was disturbing her but don’t worry am here now and l promise l won’t be late tomorrow okay.” She sang happily and fed the hungry ducks. I couldn’t help but smile. “She really is cute.”

Nora was happily singing while feeding the ducks when l decided to simply ruin her peace. “So this is where the witch performs her witchcraft huh.” I smiled when l saw the shocked on her face. “What huh? Never thought anyone would find out about your little secret.”

“What are you doing here?” She said with a voice full of anger.

“Hey hey calm down. I was just having a walk in the forest when l accidentally stumbled across this peaceful place and decided to have a closer look.” She was busy angrily staring at me. “Plus you don’t own this property, it’s none of your business why am here. And l should be the one asking you what your doing on my private property.” I smiled walking towards her.

She looked flustered and stuttered. “ Pri… private property?”

“Yes my private property. My father owns this place which basically is mine.” I smiled sitting next to her staring at her beautiful eyes.

“ And you never gave me the chance to introduce myself.” I extended my hand for a handshake. “Hi am Damien Smith, nice to meet you pretty witch.”
