*Cordelia's P.O.V*

I stared at a sleeping Misty in utter awe and disbelief-not only did I bring her back but she was still,her. Her expression lay soft yet concentrated at maintaining her state of sleep, it was the cutest thing i'd ever seen. Her wavy locks framed her face, similarly coloured to match her now radiant complexion. I silently entwined my fingers in her hair, appreciating the softness but also the unruliness of her even being there. I had been awake for hours, just staring and thinking.  At first I thought of how unreal it was and I had to pinch myself a good few times to realize Misty was really there; secondly was the thoughts of how it happened- hell. I didn't dwell on hell though, I'm way too happy to go back there. And thirdly was present thoughts, thoughts about the future and how this beautiful person asleep next to me is mine. The contentedness of laying beside her was the happiest i'd ever been-nothing could compare. Misty stirred a little,beginning to wake up and my daze faded almost instantly. Her eyelids fluttering to reveal glazed blue orbs. I gave her a small smile as she looked up with a temporarily confused look.

"You been watchin' me sleeping?" Misty smiled back, her southern tone sounding slightly hoarse from just waking.

"Maybe" I chuckled back which prompted Misty to move closer into me. 

" This still feels like a dream, my head's feelin' kind of cloudy" she whispered.

"Well, we have all of the time now to de-cloud your head" I smiled back, kissing the top of her curls.

We lay silently for a moment until a striking flash of noir hair walked into the room.

"Miss Cordelia Myrtle sai-"

"Oh, i'm sorry if you're busy I can come back" The girl stuttered nervously from seeing Misty.

"What did Myrtle send you to tell me?" I prompted embarrassingly, noticing Misty had retreated a little further down the sheets. 

"She wants you and Maisy-

"Misty-" I interrupted quickly,

"Misty, i'm sorry, to come downstairs for a very large lunch to regain your strengths. She also said the greenhouse needs tending to and that it's your specialty" the girl quaked, looking around the room nervously.

"Tell her we'll be down right away,thank you for giving me the message just i'd prefer if you'd knock next time" I smiled softly, trying to ease the girl's anxiety which left the room with her as she nodded and left the room. 

I turned around to look at Misty who was clutching the covers with an unmistakable shade of pink covering her face,she then smiled adorably and got up from the bed-the duvet still wrapped around her.  I then gave her a questionable look. 

"I'm...i'm sorta naked" she Chuckled,her face still flushed with a slight embarrassment. I had to arrange Misty some clothes from her closet just to stop my heart from melting.  I picked her out a knee length black dress with a floral white trim; after handing it to her she slowly proceeded to put it on in the corner,trying to cover up as best as she could. I stared enviously, her figure was the perfect equilibrium and I couldn't help but stare. She then hopped over and planted a kiss on my cheek, 

"Better go for food, I've never felt so hungry in my life" she beamed, like nothing had ever happened.

*Misty's P.O.V*

I walked down the busy stairwell at a terminal velocity, trying not to look too obviously hungry. As I walked past some of the girls, many silent whispers filled my ears which I tried to block out. I knew they were talking about me in some way, despite what other witches think i'm not stupid. The smell of delicious food then distracted me from my thoughts as I entered the dining room, a few girls flocking around me.

"You're Misty Day!"

"Hey,are you alive? "

"Are you okay?"

Words were flung at me as I tried to think in confusion, I twisted sideways looking for Cordelia until a flash of red hair sent the strange girls on their way; pulling me over to the table and sitting me down.

"The new witches will get used to it...wow, you look parched dear, " Myrtle spoke as she handed me a large glass of deep red liquid, it tasted funny and burned my throat so I decided it was best to drink as little as possible. Zoe and Queenie then entered the room behind eachover, hugging me on seeing but then sitting down with other witches i'd never seen before. All I could do was wait for Delia-I thought to myself as I twirled my hair around my finger and helped myself to small pieces of bread. She then walked in, looking directly at me and then over to the others as she walked in and sat by me-nodding at Myrtle who signalled the waiters to come in with steaming food. Delia then began to talk to some of the other witches as I watched all of the dishes of food steaming at the table. Damn that food looked good. I was almost hypnotized by it until the voices came back and  Cordelia opened her mouth to speak,

"I would like to say a few words, words that need to be understood before you commit yourselves to this coven"
