[Witch's House Doujin] Exchange spells

fell out of bed.

"I shall not die here," murmured Viola, looking up suddenly, her golden eyes shining like a cat's.She stood up trembling, trembling like a dead leaf in the cold wind. "I won't be killed by you again, Ailian. I want to live, and I absolutely want to get out of here alive."

A golden light diffused around the red notebook that had fallen to the floor, the clock on the wall started ticking monotonously again, and the withered roses bloomed again.The whole house seemed to come to life with a faint growl.Ailian was taken aback, she never thought that the girl who was always kind and soft-spoken could burst out with such anger.

"I have never believed what I saw, but now I finally understand that what is here is really hate." Viola pointed at her chest, and stared at Ailian fiercely without showing any weakness.She was trembling all over, and her breath became short of breath with anger. "I really hate you, Eileen. If it was before, I might really be willing to die instead of you. But now, but now I finally understand, I must not do this. My father, my dear Dad, if one day you feel that he no longer loves you, you will definitely kill him again without hesitation, right?"

"But he is my last relative in this world, and I will never let you hurt him. I want to get my body back, and I want to go back to my original life."

"Give it back, Eileen. Give me back my things."

The wind blew in through the window, and the coldness howled on Ailian's back.She could not be mistaken, it was Viola who had given life back to the house, and she was now in exactly the same position as the strays she had so easily killed.

"...It might not be so easy to go out." The black cat's mocking and triumphant tone lingered in her ears before, and Ailian unconsciously took a step back, but a smile without warmth appeared on her face.

The current situation is not good, but it is not hopeless.

"Return your body to you?" Ailian quickly calmed down from the moment of panic just now, she still had a bargaining chip, the biggest bargaining chip that could really suppress Viola.She chuckled, and the laughter flowed softly between her lips and teeth: "It's impossible. Didn't the black cat tell you the conditions for using this exchange spell?"

"This is a very difficult magic. Both parties who need to exchange are willing. So I have been lying to you for so long. If you don't let you treat me as a friend, if you don't make you feel sympathy for me, this magic is not at all. Can't make it."

Viola's eyes widened in surprise, and the smile on Ailian's face was even bigger: "Understood? I will never give it back to you. I want to live as you and put everything in the past Forget it all."

"You can't stop me."

Her heart was beating rapidly, and Ailian tried her best to hide her uneasiness under a smile.By the way, as long as she doesn't want the magic to work, she can still be her Viola, a carefree and stupid girl.She didn't look at Viola standing in the middle of the room, whose face suddenly turned pale, turned around and ran out of the room filled with the fragrance of roses.

The stained glass windows on both sides of the corridor receded rapidly, and everything was exactly the same as it was a month ago.But Ailian knew that she was betting right, Viola would never be willing to hurt her own body no matter what.Without any hindrance, she ran down the stairs to the lobby on the first floor, and ran out of the red door leading to the outside world.

The gardens of red and blue roses were soon left behind and hidden in the forest.Ailian has only one thought now, go home immediately, go home quickly, leave the witch's garden forever, and never go back to that nightmare again.

Soon she heard the sounds of search parties moving through the forest and their cries, echoing through the intertwining branches throughout the forest.Aileen carefully chose a road far away from them, and returned to the hunter's hut without incident.The sun slanted on the portrait of the blonde woman on the wall, everything was exactly the same as when she went out, incredibly peaceful.

But her heartbeat was still beating fast, and her chest was almost about to burst.The peaceful life was gone forever, and the fact that Viola was still alive was like a spark, igniting all the uneasiness that was suppressed in her heart at once.

"...It might not be so easy to get out." The black cat's voice still lingered faintly in his ears, like a malicious curse.And Ailian covered her ears, trying in vain to drive the hallucinations out of her mind.

"To shut up."

The author has something to say: From this chapter, the two branches of the girl and the witch have been merged, and they will be merged and written together in the following chapters.

witch

The world seemed to turn into black and white in an instant, and all sounds disappeared, only my own rapid breathing remained.The girl with blond hair in three braids and a white dress stumbled out of the room with a look of panic on her face, and Viola didn't move at all from the beginning.

It turns out that this curse requires both parties to be willing?It all makes sense then, it was a scam from the start.Aileen is the witch of the black cat, and the black cat has been helping her.So when she got lost in the forest, the black cat appeared and took her to the witch's house, allowing her to meet the seriously ill Ailian.And Ailian hasn't taken medicine since then, deliberately making her illness look more and more serious until she feels sympathy for her.Then he proposed to exchange her body for only one day, which logically took away everything from her.

It turned out that from the first time she saw her, Ailian had been planning in her heart how to trick her into a trap step by step.She always thought that Ailian was just a last resort, but she didn't expect that all this was just a lie.The feeling of being cheated, the feeling of being betrayed, even Viola herself didn't realize when the hatred filled her heart.

Maybe it was the first time when Viola saw the purple-haired little girl in Aileen's memory swinging the knife at her parents without hesitation, the black hole that had been hiding under Aileen's friendly smile finally opened to her for the first time. He opened his mouth wide open.

What Ailian wants is love from others, but the love she returns to others has been completely distorted.It would just be the barb on the arrowhead, widening the piercing wound and making it even more bloody.What Ailian gave was not love, it was just the love she thought.Her dad would be hurt by such terrible love, and she couldn't imagine what terrible things could happen.

But this is absolutely not allowed to happen.

When Viola saw the black cat sitting on the ground as if nothing had happened, anger rose from the bottom of her heart and stained her cheeks red. "Are you lying to me again, Mr. Black Cat? You knew from the beginning that it was impossible for me to exchange my body again, right? Even so, you still tricked me into becoming a witch step by step..."

Because she clearly knew that there was no way out for her, the black cat appeared there.Using "being able to regain her original body" as a bait, making her a witch is just to make her an accomplice to help it kill innocent children.

Demons, indeed, are best at playing tricks on people's hearts.He thought he was a fair deal with the devil, but he didn't know that he was already the prey that slowly walked into the center of the spider's web.Viola stared into the black cat's golden eyes. There was no emotion there, just a cold, metallic gold, just a lifeless wasteland.Like a child, he is innocent and has no desires, but it is also because of this that it makes people feel scared.

"I haven't told a single lie, you can't lie to yourself, Viola." The black cat said indifferently, "Eileen is right, this exchange of magic spells does require the willingness of both parties. Even if you have Rich magical power, if Eileen is unwilling, it will not succeed. But—"

The black cat raised its head: "I will do what I say, it won't be long, and you will definitely be able to return to your original body."

Viola was momentarily speechless.

As if seeing through Viola's heart, the black cat smiled. "I know Aileen's character better than you do, she will definitely come back. She will voluntarily switch bodies with you soon, and you will not die. You will return to your original life and continue to be your Vivian Ola."

Viola gave the black cat a surprised look, but she quickly looked away before the black cat met her eyes.

The black cat asked very understandingly: "You want to know why?"

Like lightning, thoughts jumped violently in her mind, and Viola forcibly stopped the "yes" that was about to blurt out.A chill suddenly ran through her limbs, her anger disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, and fear seized her heart all of a sudden.She shivered suddenly: "No, I don't want to know."

Something that Ailian would not even want to face, that might be a thousand times more terrifying than killing an innocent child.She had a strange premonition that if she knew all this, she would live as a witch forever, which was something she didn't want to see anyway.

"...But why?" Viola asked weakly, her voice was so weak that it almost turned into wind as soon as she spoke, "...Why did you help me?"

"Because you are my witch."

"You have already stated the reason."

"But it is true. You signed a contract with me, then I will help you realize your wish. This is what we have agreed from the beginning. It was the same when Ailian was a witch. She hoped that
