Chapter 26-2

Mikko jumped off the (two story) roof without making much of a sound. He stayed near the house, probably incase the witch fell off. Then I saw what all the protectors had been sad to miss out on. The woman started dancing... well, writhing would have been a better description of it. After a few minutes I was already bored with it, while everyone else around me watched in amazement. Even Nikki was entranced by it. Usually Nikki and I were mystified by the same things, but she couldn't take her eyes off of the woman. Finn stood beside me, startling me a bit. "The white witch's ritual dance usually acquires a lot of attention."

I looked around. "Well I'd say she got it."

"It's normal." Finn was smiling when I looked back at him. "The only reason you're not staring is because you're shielded from influence."

"From your psychic." He nodded. "I don't have to worry about Nikki then?"
