Black witches

"Erm… are you still with me?" Lin called, snapping Belle from her thoughts. She blinked and turned back toward him.

"I see you are new here. Would you care to sit and talk, or shall we walk as I show you around the witches' world?" He inquired.

Belle did not hesitate. "Let us walk around," she replied eagerly, the prospect of exploring too enticing to refuse.

There was no telling when the vampires might arrive, it could be this very moment or tomorrow so she knew better than to waste an opportunity. Besides, she would likely be separated from Ezekiel for several days. She ought to make the most of their time together.

"We shall get a basket for him at the market. I trust you can manage until then?" Lin said, handing the baby back to her.

Belle, who did not find Ezekiel heavy in the least, merely nodded. She saw no reason to object to Lin's plans, given that he was now the babysitter.
