Hansel And Gretel *Hansel Love Story*

Chapter 7: Muriel

After we pulled away I heard a creak coming from back upstairs

"Did you guys here that too?" I whispered, they nodded and we all pulled out our weapons, me with the knife Hansel with the gun and Gretel with the crossbow. I was about to go first until Hansel pulled me behind him and held my hand as Gretel led the way back up

"I don't want you to get hurt" he murmed to me, I huffed

"I ain't porcelain baby" I hissed, he tensed as we got up there and I saw why. There she was the 'queen' of the witches Muriel

"Ah Hansel and Gretel...whose this? Hansel's lover? Neoma Marigold? You should have died that day you know" She sneered

"Enough" Gretel snapped

"Young Gretel, should have looked for you when your whore of a mother was burned...oh what? You didn't know?!?" She started laughing menacingly and I shivered

"Your mother, was a white witch the powerful one of them all , we needed her heart to complete the task. But when we realised she'd been found out about and was burned as your father was hung, we wanted to find you Gretel since you took in most of the genes of being a witch. Ever wondered why you could both be invincible to our spells? You took your in your mothers genes but you my dear took the powers" we all listened to her, we knew she was telling the truth yet we didnt want to believe it

"Your mother thought ahead and made her lover hide you two from me" she sighed

"So I moved on to find someone else, you my dear Neoma" I tensed and Hansel stood infront of me

"Oh, Hansel has found love I see" she snickered

"Cut to the damn chase, where are the children?!" I growled

"Feisty, except you have a secret of you own am I right" I frowned in confusion

"You don't know?" She gasped, I shoved hansel away and pinned her to the wall with my arm pushing into her throat

"Neoma" Gretel warned, so much for Hansel believing in that 'all witches must burn' bull shit. Since ya know his sisters one.

"Tell me!" I spat, she smiled sweetly

"Your also a witch to Neoma, but you haven't got your powers because you haven't picked a side...good or evil, you father was a wizard and was Evil until your mother, who was also a white witch, and was good changed his ways" she sneered at me

"She's going to, obviously pick good" Hansel growled

"Well to me it looks like she's actually considering it" she said to him, looking over my shoulder

"Neoma" they both said, I looked back into Muriel's eyes and she whispered something but I didn't hear what

"What was that?" I asked

"I said, pick evil" she grinned, Hansel pulled me away and looked at me

"Neoma, don't! She's trying to break through our shields and use you!" I couldn't control what was happening

"Either you pick evil, or you give up your heart and save these guys" she yelled, Gretel was trying to pin her

"Neoma please listen to me, she's getting into your head" hansel whispered, he kissed me as if it would help me but didnt 'he's just using you! He loves that ginger woman who he saved before you arrived! They went into the same lake you did and did the same thing you did' a voice hissed inside my head, it must've gone into Hansel and Gretel's cos they both stared at me

"Don't.listen.to.her" Gretel grunted

"I swear I just saved her from being drowned I don't even remember her damn name" Hansel cried, my body shook with anger and frustration. I had tears streaming down my face, as I went to wipe them away I realised they were blood tears.

"IF YOU JOIN THE EVIL, I'LL BRING YOUR BROTHER BACK!!!!" She screamed, everything stopped. It felt like my world came crashing down, do I pick a lying witch who say's she'll bring my brother back. Or Hansel and Gretel who Hansel supposedly loves another woman

"Neoma" Hansel sobbed, cupping my face in both his hands. I looked at Gretel who returned a pleading look.

"I-I-I pick......"
