Aspen looked at Eden with worry.

“ I thought they were just supposed to make you undetected?”

“ they do but your body has to get used to them first” Eden reassured.

“I have the prefect idea! Take one and come with me” Eden told aspen with excitement.

Aspen trustfully did.

They got to their down town and the streets were lit up like an amusement park. It was Friday night. The builds were tall and stacked on top of eachother. Huge stain glass windows lend into these shops, decorated so cozy that one could fall asleep in them at any time. Shop keepers had a employees standing outside yelling about rare goods. Aspen’s vision started to get cloudy. “so pretty” she whispered while looking at all the lights. Her head was a sea of happiness and her feet were slow like turtles. Eden grabbed her hand for safety. She also really didn’t care what people thought of them.

“Let’s get something to eat aspen” Eden said with a bright and warm smile.

Ancient Rome was written in bold letters at the top of double doors. Inside low lighting held couples and friends sitting at tables with low volume laughs, some slurping snails while makes funny faces at eachother. At this point Aspen was pretty intoxicated from the grapes and Eden told her that this would be the only time that it would have this effect. The first time. The menu was pretty simple.

Witches really got the full advantage of certain animals that may not be around or certain things that humans never got to try because the plants no longer grew in the modern age.

They were able to do spells to make these things appear and domesticate them or grow them. There were even certain farmers that only grew and raised theses rare things that seemed to have gotten lost in history. Well once the human government figured that these farmers were doing theses things they were amazed and wanted in on it.

The president wrote the humans a letter stating the following:

Since you claim we are evil and from the devil- please claim our goods to such lies as well.

They gathered at the table looking across the menu.

“Well I have always liked Greek food which has lamb, so therefore I will try lamb brain” aspen told Eden

“ okay aspen” she replied while raising an eyebrow. Then both exchanged giggles.

Halfway through their dinner as they exchanged gossip and stories. Aspen looked behind her to call the waiter over before she could even speak she saw a women wearing a large sun hat and when she brought her face up, she saw winter. They made eye contact and winter gave an eerie grin and quick wave. Aspen slowly waved back. She turned her head around to Eden.

“Winter is here. Do you think she knows?” Aspen whispered.

Eden gave a quick eye roll and said “she can’t tell the difference, if anything she thinks your drunk”

“Right.” Aspen said with a nod and went about her dinner as normal.

As they left the restaurant aspen eyes grew heavy and the effects got worse and worse with each step, her words were slurred and feet almost started to fail her. Eden warm hand helped to keep aspen steady and then all of a sudden her world went dark.

When aspen woke up she layed on the Forrest floor. Five people in dark hoods and robes stood around her in a circle. The moonlight cast shadows tree limbs and leaves on to the Forrest floor. It was too dark to see the faces of the people that stood before her.

“Eden” aspen would start to scream over and over and warm tears started to run down her face. She looked all around her. “You have been chosen aspen” one of them said. It was a women’s voice. High pitched and loud. “Be quite child” she spoke again.

“You will get what you desire” they all said at the same time. Aspen tears flowed like rivers. She noticed she couldn’t move either.not even a finger or a toe. Terrifying thoughts of murder ran through her mind.

Was this a dream? She thought to herself.

“Go back to sleep. We will see you when you ready.” They again all said at the same time. One of them layed their hand along her forehead saying “shhh” and everything went black again.

Slumber forced her eyes shut.

Aspens eyes open, her heart began racing and tears filled her eyes again, this time she awoke on edens bed In pj's. "Eden" she yelled. Eden came running up the stairs and asked "are you okay?" "Eden I had the worse sleep paralysis dream ever!"

eden cut her eyes at her "Oh that was no dream dear" she replied sternly.
