Mystic Land Chapter 2

The next day, something strange happened. "Hey! Wait up!" A girl called. Lollita ignored her, expecting more peer pressure. She stopped at her locker and grabbed her bearings, though. The girl was beside her, catching her breath. "Hey! I hear you're a witch!" She exclaimed. Lollita's uncontrolable temper got the best of her. She attempted to rush home. She grabbed Lollita by the hand, stopping her from getting away. "I think that's cool!" She surprised Lollita. In awe, she turned to her curiously. "Are you serious? Witches don't exist. I'm a normal human being." Lollita sighed shortly. "I believe in them, and I think they're awesome!" She interrupted me. Beyond shocked, Lollita walked to the buss stop with the particular following behind her. "Hey, is it fun being a witch? Do you have special powers?" She asked. "Why don't you go home?" Lollita asked her, getting annoyed. "I am heading home. As you know, the buss doesn't take kids to this route." She pointed out. Lollita had forgotton that fact.

"So, let's walk home together!" She added. "Why should we?" Lollita asked, rather blankly. "Well...everyone misunderstands you, and pokes fun at you, but I want to give you a chance. Everyone deserves a chance. I mean, whether you're a witch or a human, you still have feelings..." She answered, holding her hand out. "C'mon, let's be friends. I'm Ann." She persisted. Lollita stood there speechless for some time.

Something strange compelled Lollita to reach her hand out to Ann's. Lollita's hand met her's, and they shook. Ann's grip was tight and overwhelming. "I am Lollita." she said. "Pleased to make your aquiantance." she added. Ann gave her a smile, and she laughed a bit. "Nice to meet you too!" So, that day Lollita and Ann walked home together. As it turned out, Ann lived right across from Lollita. Although they happily walked home together, in my room Lollita peered out the window. It was late at night. She heard voices. It was Tenshin and his friends ! Ann was there, too. She was on the ground, being beaten into the dirt. 'Oh no...Ann!' Lollita thought, gasping aloud. Her clothes were tathered and Lollita could see blood rolling down her face.

'Oh no, they hurt Ann! It's all my fault!' Lollita thought, as similar thoughts ran through her head. But, she was terrified. She thought if she were to go out there and help her, they'd beat her up too. There was nothing she could do! She rushed to her bed, hiding under the soft blue quilt her mother made her long ago. At the time, there was truely nothing she could do. It was dangerous at night, where she lived. Many crimes were commited in route five. That's why nobody lives in this part of Kiwako village. Lollita's parents even live somewhere seperate. But, she works for others in cleaning and other things to get money. Enough for her to buy food and clothing. The house she lived in was old and abandoned, but she somehow made do with it. Her house had no locks, so it is dangerous for her. But, she was too terrified to think about locks that night.
