The taller skeleton which Annie guessed was jakes father start to do the fatherly thing and ask tons of questions "WERE HAVE YOU BEEN! HAVE YOU FORGOTIN YOUR DUTY AS ONE OF THE HEIRS OF THE CROWN!!!" he asked pacing in circles
"No, dad I haven't but I was on spirll hill because I spotted this girl who doesn't seem to know how she got here" Jake said calmly pointing to Annie whom was next to find. She slowly took a step forward only because Jake gave her a small push.
"Is this true?" Jack said starting to clam down. Even though he didn't have any eyes she knew he was staring down at her
"Um...yes. I just woke up to find I was here and my outfit had changed and......" she said starting to talk faster. She did this when people were interrogating her. It just made her feel weird and so she talked fast. Once when she was little one of her friends did that and Annie was talking so fast no one could understand a word she was saying.
"Well then I guess she is one of those few who after they die they come here... I suppose she could stay with the witches. She looks like the witch type to me don't you think, Jack?" The Rag doll had finally said something. Her voice was small and shy.
"Well....." Jack stared at her and bent down to look at her face. "I guess your right. I'll-" he was cut of by Jake
"I'll show her to the witches" He said quickly while grabbing Annie's arm and quickly pulling her out the door.
"Huh?" Annie was able to mutter while being pulled outside.
"Sorry about that" Jake said some-what blushing when they were outside. He let go of her arm. "Um...the witches live this way" He said walking to the shop they had passed earlier
"So you're saying I died and now I have to live and be a witch?" Annie said catching up to him. He nodded
"Hope its not that much trouble usually people have a meltdown here when they realize they just died" Jake said trying not to make her feel weird
"No, not at all just a little hard to grasp." She said when they reached the witched shop. Jake opened the door to the shack like shop to reveal it was still small but big enough for a few people to live in it.
"Oh Master Jake you're here with our new student" an old witch about Annies height. She wore a black robe and a big hat. She had old greenish skin and every thing that Annie could imagine about an old witch.....well not EVERYTHING but a lot of it. Jake smiled and a small looking witch standing on a stack of books just so people would see her spoke up and said.
"You mean our ONLY student in years" she said. Annie felt kind of funny at this comment.
"Well only student or not we should show her to her room and let sleep so she can be ready for her first lessons." The taller witch turned to Annie. "You do have a wand and magic dust...right?" Annie pulsed for a moment and showed her the small bag on her belt. The witch opened it and nodded her head. "You may go home Master Jake."
"Ok" Jake said slowly walking out the door. The taller witch waited till he left to take Annie to her room. It looked a lot like her old one with black walls and a bed with a black pillow and dark orange covers. She saw that there were huge caldrons and a book shelf with strangely named books. There was a closet with black robes and next to it was a dresser with a big round mirror and a desk holding it up. On the desk was a brush, long wooden spoon, and small necklace with two small charms on it. One in the shape of a scythe and a cool looking axe.
"Those are yours" the witch said and took the necklace. She put it around Annie's neck. "Keep this with you you'll need it for tomorrow"
"Ok, and I'm-" Annie started to say
"Annabelle we know" she snapped at her. "Get some rest you'll need it."
"Ok" Annie said. She waited until the witch left before she had her meltdown. "OH MY GOD I DIED AND I HAVE TO LIVE HERE!?!?" she made her voice loud enough but not loud enough for the witches to hear. "WHAT ON EARTH DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" she took a deep breath hand laid on her dusty bed. It felt kind of like home "I hate my life" she said aloud. She then decided to give in. She would just go along with the whole thing. She then in that moment fell asleep.
