The Adventures of The Moon Witch

It's October

The Adventures of the Moon Witch:

Prelude:

He was on his deathbed when he told me.

It was a mere fairy tale story, nothing more.

A tale of a woman who was the night, whose eyes were the moon, the wind her witching broom.

"She can give you everything you want," he had promised, "But only for the right price, and only if you truly need it."

I hadn't needed her then. Then everything was still under my control.

However, years later, as I awoke in a pit filled with fresh bodies, it was then that I wish the fairy tale was true.

It was then that I began my search for the moon witch.

Chapter One: It's October

"Who in the Hell left dishes in the sink?"

I yawned rolling over in my bed just to fall back asleep.

"I said who in the hell left dishes in the sink? I know yall hear me! It's 'bout time y'all woke up

anyway. Don't y'all have council before school?"

This woman, ​I groaned in my head at Grandma's voice as I rolled over once more my dreads

sliding across my face.

"It wasn't me!" I yelled back covering my head with a pillow.

"Well it was somebody. Gets your butts up right now!"

"Always tripping," I muttered, but sat up anyway.

Every morning was the same thing. As a princess and ruler, one would think I wouldn't have to

wake up to petty complaints.

Of course then again, we are talking about me, and my life is all but luxurious.

It grabbed my phone looking at the time.

5:30 AM on the dot. Ain't that a bitch.

I sighed as I grabbed my towel and shower buggy and headed for the bathroom. Right when I was about to go through the door, Demitri, my older and annoying brother, cuts me off, slamming the door shut in my face. Madden, I began beating on the door,

"Demitri open the damn door! I'm not playin' with you today. You know I was headed for the shower!" I yell.

He opens up the door, his brown eyes mischievous and shady.

"Alphas first," he says and slams the door again.

"You mean bitches first," I mumble walking back to my room, "And don't use up all the hot water either!"

"Alphas first, please," I grumble to myself, "I'm the one in charge of the damn council."

Today is October 1st which means first of the month meeting. However, this month was particularly a pain because what October really means "everything that could possibly go wrong month", and it was the worst October ever.

In this October, there was going to be a Friday 13th, followed by a total lunar eclipse which no doubt was going to lead into a blood moon, not to mention Halloween and Day of the Dead towards the end.

Oh, and did I mention my birthday is going to be in the middle of all this? That, of course, meant a moon witch festival which we know how those go.
