[Witch's House Doujin] Exchange spells

La Gala trembled.

Viola was completely stunned, she had no idea what happened to make it all so sudden.Not allowed to leave the house?Viola bit her lip, but... that red rag was dangling in front of her all the time, making her feel uneasy.She had to find out what happened.

She flipped out the window and landed lightly on the soft mud as nimbly as a fawn.Without hesitation, she chose a road away from the search party's starting point and quickly ran deep into the forest.

Something must have happened in that forest.

II. Witch

Following the black cat's guidance, Viola spent a long time almost digging the entire hut three feet into the ground, and finally found a red diary in an inconspicuous box in the attic.The diary is already covered with dust, and the pages have turned yellow and curled up. I don't know how long it has been here.But there was not a word in that diary, as if its owner had never opened it and left it in this forgotten corner.

From the window, the sky outside was completely dark, and there was a faint noise in the forest, and there were a few faint lights of fire.The black cat sat in the darkness of the attic, its golden eyes shimmering: "This diary is the key to connect to Eileen's past, if you want to see the complete past."

"What should I do?" Viola held the notebook, but her tone was unusually calm.

"Go back to bed, what we need is a dream."

Viola complied, and spread the diary open on her lap.And the black cat sat on the bed and explained to her the spell that can see memories in the tone of telling a bedtime story, really like a qualified teacher.

"Do you understand, Viola? This spell is actually very simple. All you need to do is collect all the magic power hidden in this room and inject them into this diary."

Viola hesitated: "But in this case, wouldn't it be easy for people to break in?"

The black cat raised its tail triumphantly: "Don't worry, Viola, those humans can't come in so easily. They can't see this house, just like they can't see us demons. And——" it crooked He tilted his head and added, "If you are really worried, I can stay outside."

"Then is this spell dangerous?"

"It's as safe as drinking water and eating. You just need to treat it as a dream, even if it's a nightmare, and it will stop naturally by dawn. Of course, it doesn't matter if you change your mind now."

"No, I want to know." She knew that the black cat would not lie, and in a way, she was completely relieved.

The black cat smiled slightly: "So shall we start now?"

Viola nodded.She seemed to recite the lengthy incantation according to Professor Black Cat, and a golden light gathered from all directions in the room and shrouded the blank pages of the diary.Those, are the magic scattered in this cabin.

The wall clock on the wall stopped swinging, the candles were extinguished, the mirror shattered into countless powders with a crisp sound, and the red rose maintained by magic in the vase withered and withered in an instant.The whole room instantly died as if it had been deprived of all vitality, becoming lifeless and icy cold.Only the diary on her lap became brighter and brighter like gathering all the light, and even radiated heat like the sun.

"Now, Viola." The black cat said calmly.As the last syllable poured out from her lips, Viola suddenly fell on the pillow and fell into a deep sleep, and the light on the diary soon disappeared.

Viola felt as if she was stumbling along in the darkness, unable to tell the direction.She shouted desperately, but there was no ripple in her voice as if it was swallowed by darkness.She stumbled on the ground exhausted, screaming and almost breathless from the pain that came from all over her body, and the pain seemed to pull her out of the darkness all at once.

She opened her eyes.

What greets the eye is the gray, cracked ceiling, even if the sun shines on it, it is still a gloomy and cold dark gray.There is also a wooden bookshelf that has been eaten by moths. A bunch of wild flowers placed on it seems to have not been taken care of for a long time. Not only is it dry, it even emits an unpleasant smell.

Viola lay on the bed blankly, not quite sure if she had succeeded.The severe pain from her body made her unbearable, but she couldn't move at all, and she couldn't even make any sound.

But her body moved uncontrollably, and Viola heard a suppressed moan coming from her mouth.

Yes, she is in Eileen's body.What she saw now was Ailian's past, so of course she couldn't move freely.

She faced a cracked mirror placed on the table, and what was reflected in the mirror was a girl with long purple hair.It seems to be Eileen's childhood, because she looks a little thinner and shorter.The girl in the mirror was covered with bandages, and even her right eye was covered by a bandage, only the tip of her nose was exposed, and there was no life in the remaining golden left eye.

Ailian just glanced at the mirror and then looked away, as if she didn't want to see herself.A woman somewhat similar to Ailian hurriedly opened the door and rushed in, her face full of tension.

"What's wrong, Ailian? Does it hurt?" the woman said worriedly.

Eileen nodded, then shook her head again.But the woman understood what she meant, and smiled weakly: "Don't force yourself, Ailian." She found a roll of bandages and a large bottle of ointment from the cabinet in the room.Sitting in front of Ailian, she began to carefully remove the bandages on Ailian's body, her movements were as gentle as a feather.

Eileen sat motionless on the bed, while her mother removed the bandages and began to apply the foul-smelling ointment on her body.Viola could only see that her hands were bloody and bloody after taking off the bandage, like crushed earthworms, which made people sick to the stomach.And Ailian seemed to be used to all this, she just stared at her mother's rough hands, and didn't make a sound for a long time.

(It's all because of me.) Viola heard Ailian say in her heart, it was a voice full of guilt and helplessness.

After she put on a new bandage, Ailian suddenly said, "...I'm sorry."

The woman was helping Ailian to comb her long lavender hair, and her hands trembled slightly after hearing Ailian's words: "Why do you say sorry? You are our daughter, Ailian. Everything we do is for you."

(Mom, you could have had an easier life.)

Ailian stared at the new bandage on her hand seriously, as if there was something worth studying on it.It took her a long time to answer slowly: "But... I have never heard my father call my name."

(He never thought I existed. He hated me, he always wished I wasn't a daughter at all.)

"He's just shy, don't take it to heart, Ailian..." the woman said softly.

(Liar.)

"...He leaves early and returns late to make money, and he only hopes to cure your illness..."

(No, that's not true. He never loved me.)

"...He's just too tired, Eileen. It's fine." The woman said softly, and tied up Eileen's purple hair with a red bow.She turned the mirror around so Elaine could see herself in the mirror, "How about this bow? Isn't it cuter?"

Ailian just stared blankly at her pale self in the mirror, without saying anything.She just mechanically swallowed the medicine her mother gave her, and then stared blankly at the falling leaves outside the window like a puppet.

"Why don't you go out for a walk, Ailian?" the woman said softly, she began to change into a set of faded overalls, and Ailian turned her head to look at her calmly, "We can't accompany you often because of work, But you need a friend. You can't be alone in the house all the time."

(Who would be friends with me? An ugly girl with a strange disease like me.)

Aileen squeezed out a sickly smile: "I'll go for a walk, don't worry. Be careful on the road, Mom."

After the woman closed the door and went out, the whole family really fell into dead silence.Ailian mechanically fiddled with the blond-haired doll on the bed a few times, then threw the doll aside in disinterest.She hesitated for a long time before slowly getting out of bed and putting on a pair of worn red leather shoes.

(It hurts...but...let's get out and get some air.)

The author has something to say: I didn’t send OTZ before midnight

Reunion

I. girl

The thorns stung the soles of the feet, the branches caught the skirt, and everything in the forest seemed to stop Viola from running.The chill in the depths of the forest invaded the muscles and bones, and there was no bird song. It seemed that there were only her breathing and footsteps in the world, and it would continue to repeat so monotonously.She even thought she was in the wrong place.

When the red spire of the bungalow finally appeared in front of her eyes over the treetops, Viola breathed a sigh of relief and gradually slowed down her pace.Without any hesitation, she ran past the unnamed tomb where the scorched lilies were placed, and the iron gate entwined with red and blue roses soon appeared in front of her, covered with the morning dew.

The door was open, as if inviting her to enter.Viola suddenly stopped her fast-moving legs, staring seriously at the window on the second floor of the bungalow.That
