Miss Florence find it hard to believe that she was sleeping with a witch under the same roof for days now. Thinking of it, send shiver down her spines, she feel chilly.

"You're a witch?" it sounds more like she needs confirmation, as she couldn't hid her surprise in her tone.

"Was that a question, it feels like you haven't recovered" the witch spoke in ugly tone, raspy and unpleasant to ears.

"I must be stupid, to think I took in a witch instead of a cat. How ironic"

Miss Florence voiced out her stupidity for being slow witted, scolding herself for being foolish again and unaware of her surrounding.

Thinking about it now, Dana keeps warning her to be aware of her cat, though it have planted some doubts in her mind about her kitten she still told herself it was probably Dana being paranoia. What a shit head!.

Thank goodness she pulled such a simple trick to make the kitten exposed her real identity.

As if reading the expression on Miss Florence face, the witch pointed, "you must be regretting. To think that girl blabbermouth has cost me ending my plan so soon, it infuriates me. However I'm thankful she made it easier for me" the witch chuckles at the end. Happy at the turn of events.

Miss Florence could only stare at the ugly creature before her, the witch's pointed nose that curved at the end, and the pustules on her face made her look uglier which is nauseous to look at.

"Gosh this irritates me the more I think about it, what's your motive, I know our meeting wasn't just a pure coincidence"

The witch giggled, making Miss Florence to scrunched her nose in disgust.

"Coincidence you said?" the witch cackled as if she has heard something funny, "you're funny, I need your face for a mission which I hope you wouldn't worry about"

A bewildering expression marred Miss Florence face, " did you mean you're after someone who's closer to me, and you're planning to kill me?"

Miss Florence knew how kind she was to her neighbors and people around her, it only make sense if the witch need her appearance to hurt those people around her.

"Oh dear, you're so naive, how would I borrow your beautiful face without killing you, I could say that's what you tried earlier if I hadn't defend myself. And yes, I'm after someone, not really closer to you but..." the witch trailed with a smirk as if in thought, tapping her lips while humming, she looks at the governess and smiled showing her jagged decomposed teeth,

".... but she's someone you tolerates and also tolerated you despite your vulgar response"

Hearing that, the governess have a lot of people in mind, she racked her brain to think of who the witch's going to kill that was closer to her.

Of course, there's only one person that gets on her nerves and tolerated her crude response,

Coming down to realization, her eyes widened while looking at the witch that continues to behold her gaze with a knowing smile,

"You mean.... Dana"

"Wonderful! you deserved a clap" the witch sarcastically said, and jumped off the table to landed with a thud in front of Miss Florence.

"I'm thrilled to know I was going to feel anew-"

"Why?" the governess cut the witch off, even after thinking of every possibilities why the witch will wanted Dana harmed didn't make sense to her.

"Why?" the witch repeated, she laugh and wave her hand at Miss Florence query, "oh I'm sure there's a lot of whys which knowing won't do you any good. I mean you're going to die anyway"

No, she won't die, she won't allow that. The urge to protect Dana surged in her... Though she might say she hate the feelings but what made her cringe at the thought of wanting to save Dana from this witch was, were they even close? if her brain juggle well, she and Dana haven't been on real good terms, what she meant was, they were not really friendly.

There's not even one time they agreed on the same thing, it always the other way around.

She didn't appreciate the fact to let that curious being named Dana, be harmed by this witch.

To her, if Dana were to be harmed or hurt, she deserves a beautiful person to hurt her not this ugly moron.

"Am not sure I could allow you to do that" the governess retorted, but the witch finds it more hilarious, "aren't you exaggerating, I'm not giving you choice, I apologized if I forget to mention, but I'm taking everything by force here" the witch smirk.

In blink of an eye, the governess left where she was sitting in pain, and the next second she was behind the witch,

An unexpected hit landed on the back of the witch, with so much force that have her flew to the wall that Miss Florence hit.

Morever, this time around, the witch went over the wall, leaving a large hole, with the wall bricks scattered on the floor.

The witch groaned in pain, and try lifting her body only to fall back.

The witch was flabbergasted, to find herself lying on the floor with few bricks fallen on her was totally shocking, just a second she was talking to Miss Florence, and the next she was coming out of a wall that separate the governess room and the dining room.

The witch felt something choked her chest, and she puke black bloods, oh no, she must have been hit harder than she expected, also not to mention the ache she felt in her back and chest.

She tried lifting her head, but couldn't and grunt in frustration. How in the world did she find herself like this.

Miss Florence aura changed to one of devoid of emotions. Completely looking opposite of her kindself, looking as if possessed. She coldly stared at the witch who looked helpless right now lying on the floor.

'It been a while since I last fought' the governess thought to herself, moving her head left and right, emitting a cracking sound.

In blink of an eye she disappeared and appeared beside the witch head, sitting on her toes.

Feeling someone over her head, the witch opened her eyes, she was gathering some energy in her when the governess appeared beside her.

Spotting the black bloods at the corner of the witch mouth, a satisfying smile welcomed the governess face. "How was that? I guess my blow is quite stronger, while you only get to hit me to leave a crack on the wall. Who's weaker now?" Miss Florence raised a brow.

"So much in you, I could conclude you're not a vampire" the witch managed to say, looking at the governess crimson eyes. Only a purebred vampire could be that strong, and the governess wasn't a purebred, which only means one thing. She's not a vampire.

The governess clicked her tongue, "Too bad it took you long to come to conclusion"

The witch lips curled up, "now that I see you this way, the skirt and blouse didn't suit your vicious look, your dressing camouflaged well with your kind appearance"

The governess must agreed on that, but it wasn't time to compare her self by her changed personality,"enough of conversing, how about I finished this"

Miss Florence fingers wickedly curled around the witch neck, lifting her up and slammed her on the wall of the room.

The witch struggle to remove the governess hand from strangling her to death, but this pushed the governess to tightened her fingers, clenching her teeth in anger, making the witch to gagged for air more than before.

However, a confusing look appeared on Miss Florence face, when she saw the cunning smirk on the witch face, as she had stopped struggling letting down her hands in surrender, as if giving Miss Florence more access to killed her nonetheless the smirk on her face says otherwise.

'What the heck is she smirking at?' but before the governess could fish out her answers, she felt something amiss.

She glanced at her hand that curled the witch neck, when she try moving it, she couldn't, completely perplexed she look at the witch again, whose head was cocked to one side with a knowing smile.

In one swift move, their position changed and the governess was the one who is slammed on the wall, both hands captured by the witch and lifted it over her head, pinning it.

"What are you doing?" the governess who looked more flabbergasted by their sudden change of spot, tried to freed herself from the witch grasp, somehow couldn't, which seems strange.

The witch giggled and leaned in while the governess move her head to the side, "who knew the little trick will worked on you, don't worry I'm not going to do what you're thinking, it's the last thing on my mind" with that being said she moved away from the governess to have a better look.

When Miss Florence wiggle again, she heard the sounds of metal clanking on her hands and legs, not giving up she continue struggling to free herself but couldn't,

Decided to take a look over her head where her hands were pinned, she noticed the red line formed on her wrist, as if something was restraining her from moving, and it was invisible.

The witch sighed seeing the reluctant of the governess who keeps struggling, "you should save your energy for me"

"What did you do to me?!" the governess barked at the witch, who continues to hold an ugly smile, "I command you to unbind me!"

It only exasperated Miss Florence to think she was helpless now, she keep trying to freed herself from the thing she was clamp with.

The witch cackling interrupted the governess from scrambling, "you bitch, what's funny?"

"The satanic invisible chain, I used it on you, you can't freed yourself no matter how much you tries"

The witch close her eyes, and start rubbing her palm as if praying, with her mouth that start moving, speaking in heavy tongues which was unknown to Miss Florence.

It took her a minute to realize, the witch is chanting magic spells.

"Damn!" she cursed in frustration, she have to get out of here, to think she's going to die in a mere witch hand somehow maddened her.

Much to Miss Florence dismay, she feel a pain coming down from her chained feet moving upward, she scrunched her face, as the pain is becoming unbearable with each passing seconds, when she look at the witch direction, dark fumes have started to appeared in the room.

"What-what is that?" the governess stuttered in fear.

"I'm taking your energy, strength, power,in actually words I'm absorbing your appearance to become the exact you" the witch respond, with closed eyes.

What! No, it won't happen, no! There must be a way to escape, there's an adage that says, 'where there's a will, there's a way'. The governess thought in panic.

If she's really was going to escape, she had to leave this body behind and look for another body to attain. Because right now, surviving should be her first priority.

Miss Florence clenched her teeth, gnashing them in great pain, the veins on her head and neck has popped out already as if going to completely come out of her skin.

Despite the pains, the governess eyes continued to roam around the room looking for an escaping route, but the only place her eyes landed was the opened window. It was already dark outside, and the moon has risen up to the sky, stopping at her window looking back at her.

She has to get out of this body, else she's really going to be goner. When she cast a side-glance at the witch, she looks carried away by her incantation, her focus were on performing her magic.

This was a great opportunity for Miss Florence, returning her gaze to the moon. Focusing on the moon will made her forget the painful spells directing at her.

The governess eyes slowly closed and began to move her lips, trying to gain her self by making surviving a game she must won.

After a while of moving lips, she snapped her eyes opened, with a puffed of her chest, the governess body went limp turning pale.

Unaware of all this, the witch appearance have started to change into the governess face, thinking she was still absorbing the governess, little did she know the governess was dead a century ago which made her a corpse, and the creature possessing it have managed to get out of the body leaving shell behind.

Done with her absorbent, she open her eyes and the dark fumes inside the room vanished, revealing the witch who look exactly like the governess now. When she look at the mirror inside the room, she moan in satisfaction and stretch her body, muttering, "what a new change, now I feel much like a youth"

Turning her body around, she casted a disgusting look at the skeleton of the governess, with disdain in her eyes. "why not just clear your whole existence"

Opening her palm, a ball of fire appeared, she direct it to the governess skeleton which catch fire in an instant, extinguishing rapidly, leaving only ashes of the bones.
