Nrikawn took her hands in his, staring right into her gorgeous black eyes. Every time when he saw her, she looked like she didn't even age a day, still looked the same. Her eyes were still pretty as the waves of ocean, twinkling in the light and her long hair was as smooth and soft as before.
His hand reached up and gently tucked a lock of her red hair behind her ear. She slightly pulled away from his touch, but found the courage to look up at him. The very moment she saw him, the first thing she saw was his eyes, those were sharp and filled with emotions and at the same time she was trying to figure out the depth of them.

The large vessel on the fire was filled with the sacred water for witches from Black Lake. It was an inaccessible lake inside a forest, only who had witch blood in their veins, could approach there. Beside the pyre, there were some ingredients which she would need to return back to her true self."Bonesbane," she muttered and picked up the tiniest bowl contained with a few bone shaped dark green leaves.

He blinked, slightly wondering why he was looking at himself, it was unlike of him.It was also a big day for him. He moved to corner of his room, stooping beside the giant bed.

I haven't seen my psychiatrist for almost a month, haven't taken my medication. Now, the flashbacks are gone, but I still have the headache.I am breathing hard.I wonder what caused the flashbacks."C'mon," he wraps my left arm around his shoulder and lifts me up.
