[Witch's House Doujin] Exchange spells

The fort always collapsed halfway through the construction, and it was not erected crookedly until the sun was about to set, standing there abruptly without any aesthetic feeling.

By the time Eileen finally realized that she should go back, it was already getting dark.Ailian jumped up from the ground in panic like a frightened rabbit, and ran all the way back to the home in that slum.

Mom was already standing at the door of the house. Seeing Ailian finally came back, she asked softly, "Did you have fun?"

Ailian stopped her running steps in front of her mother.She is always used to burying all her grievances in her heart, so she showed a bright smile as usual: "Of course."

But then she saw her red dress, which was crumpled and covered with dirt and sand, looking filthy.Aileen's heart sank, and she suddenly realized that she was adding another burden to the mother who came home exhausted after a long day's work.

(Mom has always taken care of me when I was sick, and if I trouble her again, Mom will hate me.)

She took it for granted, and the next day she rejected her mother's suggestion to hang out. "I think it's more fun to play alone at home."

Ailian was worried that her lie would be exposed by her mother, but her mother just gave her a surprised look, then smiled without saying anything. "You can do whatever you like."

(I don't like those people anyway, they just live for themselves. Don't go out...it doesn't matter.)

Eileen never left her home until she was seven years old.Mother still helps her change the bandage every day, combs Ailian's long hair with a comb and helps her tie a red bow, and Ailian sits on the bed silently day after day, holding the blond doll in her arms, indifferently Looking out the window at the gray wall.

"Lonely?" The blond doll grinned, as if mocking her silently.

Eileen held the doll up to her eyes, letting its blond hair shine like gold. "Shut up...you're just a doll, how do you know what loneliness is?"

"Aren't you a doll?" The blond doll's eyes made of glass beads stared at her unblinkingly, "Your mother dresses you up like a doll every day, but inside you are just old cotton wool."

Eileen broke off the blonde doll's head, and the stuffed cotton was scattered everywhere.But the doll's severed head was still laughing silently, and the strange frozen face dangled before her eyes.

She suddenly hated her mother, because her mother had the love of everyone in the family.Her father never said a word to her, and he was too stingy to give her a look. As soon as he got off work, he would sit drunk in the room and smoke a pipe, but he would only show the most gentle smile to his mother.The family is always lifeless, and even when her mother combs her hair, she is silent.Mother's hands are rough from too much work, but her lips still retain the bright vermilion that dazzles her pale face.She was the only thing of color in the gloomy, dim room.

Eileen suddenly realized that only her mother was the only living thing in this family.And she began to tremble because of her sudden hatred, she knew it was wrong, how could she hate her mother who had been taking care of her without complaint or regret for so long?

But once the seeds of hatred are planted, it takes root in the bottom of my heart and slowly germinates and grows.It wasn't until one day that Ailian finally realized that her mother didn't have no regrets, but she just hid her resentment under a gentle smile just like her.

Just because Eileen saw a dead black cat.The black cat was brutally tortured to death by the children. Its stomach was cut open with a blunt knife, and one eyeball was gouged out and fell to the side. Pour it down.

Eileen fantasized that it should have been a beautiful and dexterous animal, quick and agile like a black lightning, always able to catch mice easily.And this merciless town killed it with malice, and forced everyone to see such a bloody scene.Black crows circled in the alley, staring at the black cat's corpse.Ailian just felt that the poor black cat should be rested in peace, after hesitating for a long time, she finally walked out of the house again and buried it under the swing in the garden.

Aileen returned home with her body covered in mud and drenched. She raised her head and met her mother's disappointed eyes. The coldness made her tremble all over.She forgot the oath she had sworn to be a prisoner, and broke it with her own hands like a man without integrity.It was she herself who added the last weight to one end of the precarious balance, and she desperately saw that the last tenderness in her mother's eyes was slowly disintegrating.Love is gone.

The next night, my mother, who was supposed to be off work, did not come back.Ailian waited for three full days before she vaguely felt that her mother would never come back this time.She began to curse the black cat, insisting that all these misfortunes were caused by it.

Why did it have to die on that day?

Why did it die where she could see it?

Even though she knew that the dead should not be cursed, even though she knew that she was going to bury it, Ailian still couldn't stop blaming the cat, and couldn't suppress the endless hatred in her heart.

Dad always spends the money he earns on alcohol and tobacco, only my mother works hard every day and uses her Weibo income to support the lives of three people, as well as those expensive medicines and bandages.She also had to take care of her seriously ill daughter, and the day after day nearly wore her down.She no longer wanted to endure the toil caused by her daughter's whim and willfulness, so she left.

Mom abandoned me?

impossible!How could such a gentle, kind, and kind mother who was so kind to everyone abandon her beloved daughter?

Eileen firmly believed that her mother was just tired and needed a spare time to rest. She would come back one day to help her change the bandages and comb her hair as before, and then tied the red bow beautifully on her head.

Eileen struggled to do what her mother had done, taking care of her alcoholic father while taking care of herself.But they still hadn't said a word, and Dad hadn't hugged or thanked her, or scolded or hit her.He could talk to cabinets, mirrors, chairs, but never to Eileen.

Ailian was only in pain for a short moment.Later, my father didn't even go out anymore, and shut himself in the room all day long to smoke.And the medicines and bandages are getting less and less. Ailian remembered what her mother said, "If you don't take medicine, the disease will become terrible."

Everything will be fine when mom comes back, she always thought so.

When the last bit of medicine was taken, that night, Ailian finally heard the faint sound of the door opening.After speaking for a long time, her voice trembled ridiculously: "...Mom?"

The dark figure at the door looked at her in surprise through the candlelight on the table: "...Ailian?"

The woman in front of him was strange, she looked much more decent than before, even beautiful.Ailian stared at her, and wanted to run up to hug her mother's feet but was firmly stuck to the ground.It was the mother who came over by herself and hugged Ailian into her arms: "...I'm sorry, Ailian." A drop of cold stuff dripped on Ailian's head, and Ailian lowered her eyes and stared at her shoe upper in silence.

Why say sorry?Is it because of me that you feel bad?

Aileen saw the white leather shoes on the soles of her mother's feet, which looked so beautiful and expensive.She suddenly realized that she had experienced a bad premonition before.

I came home in the middle of the night, dressed decently, carrying a huge bag, and smelled of perfume on my body-obviously my mother had never worn perfume before.

There is a strange man, and my mother is going to leave this house forever to live with him.Those apologies were just because the woman was finally making up her mind to dump her.That woman, that hateful woman.The suppressed hatred entangled her heart like a crazily growing vine, and Ailian picked up the fruit knife that was placed on the table.

"...Goodbye, Ailian." After she said the last words, she turned around and was about to leave.Ailian called out to stop her, then picked up the knife and stabbed it into her throat the moment the woman turned around.

Blood spattered out, and the woman screamed, but Aileen didn't stop stabbing her throat, until the woman fell down without a sound and her whole body was soaked in blood.Her white leather shoes were completely stained red with blood, exuding a pungent fishy smell.

Ailian knelt down and looked at the woman's eyes wide open in horror, and then laughed lowly, like the roar of a wild animal.Because you don't love me, I don't need you anymore, it's that simple.

Maybe it was because of the sound of the entrance, the door of Dad's room clicked lightly.Dad came out slowly from the inside, his eyes slowly moved to Ailian.His body was haggard and thin due to being soaked in alcohol for a long time, but his eyes were clear at this time.

Ailian stood up slowly, her face was covered with still warm blood splashed down.Her whole body trembled, not from fear, but from ecstasy.

Because Dad would be angry, he would hit her with his hands, and he would yell at her angrily, "You did this?" Finally, Dad no longer only paid attention to that woman, he would eventually admit her existence.

But Dad's gaze shifted from Ailian to the woman, he was stunned for a moment, and then knelt beside the corpse
